Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :1. Toomany parents these days can't say no. As a result, they find themselvesraising 'children' who respond greedily to the advertisements aimed right atthem. Even getting what they want doesn't satisfy some kids; they only wantmore. Now, a growing number of psychologists, educators and parents thinkit'stime to stop the madness and start teaching kids about what's reallyimportant : values like hard work, contentment, honesty and compassion. Thestruggle to set limits has never been tougher - and the stakes have never beenhigher. One recent study of adults who were overindulged as children, paints adiscouraging picture of their future : when given too much too soon, they growup to be adults who have difficulty coping with life's disappointments. Theyalso have distorted sense of entitlement that gets in the way of success in thework place and in relationships.

2. Psychologists say that parents who overindulge their kids, set them up to bemore vulnerable to future anxiety and depression. Today's parents themselvesraised on values of thrift and self-sacrifice, grew up in a culture where no was ahousehold word. Today's kids want much more, partly because there is so muchmore to want. The oldest members of this generation were born in the late1980s, just as PCs and video games were making their assault on the familyroom. They think of MP3 players and flat screen TV as essential utilities, andthey have developed strategies to get them. One survey of teenagers found thatwhen they crave for something new, most expect to ask nine times before theirparents give in. By every measure, parents are shelling out record amounts. Inthe heat of this buying blitz, even parents who desperately need to say no findthemselves reaching for their credit cards.Today's parents aren't equipped to deal with the problem. Many of them, raisedin the 1960s and '70s, swore they'd act differently from their parents and havecloser relationships with their own children. Many even wear the same designerclothes as their kids and listen to the same music. And they work more hours; atthe end of a long week, it's tempting to buy peace with 'yes' and not marprecious family time with conflict. Anxiety about future is another factor. Howdo well intentioned parents say no to all the sports gear and arts and languagelessons they believe will help their kids thrive in an increasingly competitiveworld ? Experts agree : too much love won't spoil a child. Too few limitswill.What parents need to find, is a balance between the advantages of an affluentsociety and the critical life lessons that come from waiting, saving and workinghard to achieve goals. That search for balance has to start early. Children needlimits on their behaviour because they feel better and more secure when theylive within a secured structure. Older children learn self-control by watchinghow others, especially parents act. Learning how to overcome challenges isessential to becoming a successful adult. Few parents ask kids to do chores.They think their kids are already overburdened by social and academic

pressures. Every individual can be of service to others, and life has meaningbeyond one's own immediate happiness. That means parents eager to teachvalues have to take a long, hard look at their own.(a) Answer the following :

(1) |hat values do parents and teachers want children to learn ?(2) What are the results of giving the children too much too soon ?(3) Why do today's children want more ?(4) What is the balance which the parents need to have in today'sworld ?(5) What is the necessity to set limits for children ?

(b) Pick out words from the passage that mean the same as the following :(1) a feeling of satisfaction (para 1)(2) valuable (para 3)(3) important (para 4)

Read the passage carefully.1. I remember my childhood as being generally happy and can recall experiencing

some of the most carefree times of my life. But I can also remember, even morevividly, moments of being deeply frightened. As a child, I was truly terrified ofthedark and getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me someextremely uncomfortable moments.

2. Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my familiar roomat night that scared me so much. There was never total darkness, but a streetlight or passing car lights made clothes hlng over a chair take on the shape ofan unknown beast. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw curtains move when therewas no breeze. A tiny creak in the floor would sound a hundred times louderthan in the daylight and my imagination would take over, creating burglars andmonsters. Darkness always made me feelhelpless. My heart would pound and Iwould lie very still so that 'the enemy' wouldn't discover me.

3. Another childhood fear of mine was that I would get lost, especially on the wayhome from school. Every morning, I got on the school bus right near my home- that was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined upalong the curve, I was terrified that I would get on the wrong one and be takento some unfamiliar neighbourhood. I would scan the bus for the faces of myfriends, make sure that the bus driver was the same one that had been there inthe morning, a16 even then ask the others over and over again to be sure I wasin the right bus. On school or family trips to an amusement park or a museum, Iwouldn't let the leaders out of my sight. And of course, I was never veryadventurous when it came to taking walks or hikes because I would go onlywhere I was sure I would never get lost.Perhaps, one of the worst fears I had as a child was that of not being liked oraccepted by others. First of all, I was quite shy. Secondly, I worried constantlyabout my looks, thinking people wouldn't like me because I was too fat or worebraces. I tried to wear 'the right clothes' and had intense arguments with mymother over the importance of wearing flats instead of saddled shoes to school.Being popular was very important to me then and the fear of noi being likedwas a powerful one.One of the processes of evolving from a child to an adult is being able torecognise and overcome our fears. I have learnt that darkness does not have totake on a life of its own, that others can help me when I am lost and thatfriendliness and sincerity will encourage people to like me. Understanding thethings that scared us as children helps to cope with our lives as adults.

12 the stick left behind bore the inscription To James Mortimer,MRCS from his friends at the CCH dated 1884

it was such a stick as the old fashioned family practitioners used tocarry. It was much knocked about, thick-iron ferrule was worn

down

Mr Watsondescribes the owner as a likeable old country doctorwho received the stick from a local hunt, the doctor did a greatdeal of his visiting on footthe stick being worn out

Holmes agreed with Watson on two inferences the owner as acountry practitioner who walked a good deal but the rest wereallwrong

Holmes observed that a presentation to a doctor would come froma hospital rather than from a hunting group and that CCH stood forCharing Cross Hospital

the stick was presented on the occasion of the farewell ceremony Dr Mortimer was not on the staff of the hospital since a man well

established in a London practice would not have been a house-surgeon or a house physiciana little more than a senior student

he had left 5 years ago the date on the stick proved it so he was a young fellow under 30, amiable, unambitious, absent

minded and the possessor of a favourite dog (observed marks of adogs teeth on the stick)
