Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.

Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force (强迫) their children to love science, too. But what if (要是……会怎样) their children’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?

Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking. The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books, newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.

B. begin to have their own ways of thinking

C. believe that their parents are always right

C. Believe your parents forever!

A. Parents are always the best teachers.

C. We can learn from many people and things in our lives.

Most people agree that honesty (诚实) is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they tell a lie (撒谎) with their bodies and activities? Animal experts may not call it telling a lie, but they agree many animals do something dishonest to others. Dishonesty often helps them a lot.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. A bird called the plover (鸻鸟) sometimes seems to get hurt while trying to save its young. When an animal gets close to its home, the plover seems to have a broken leg. The animal follows it, leaving the baby birds safe.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay (灌丛鸦), buries (埋) its food in order to make sure it always has something to eat. Scrub jays also take others’ food. They watch where others bury their food and take it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when others are watching them. So they get back later to take out the food and bury it again somewhere else.

Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimpanzee will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimpanzee puts out its hand, too, the chimpanzees are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimpanzee take the winner’s hand and start fighting again. When chimpanzees find food, it’s common for them to shout out. But some clever chimpanzees learn to shout very softly when they find food. That way, other chimpanzees can’t hear them, and they don’t need to share the food.

11. How does the writer start the article?

A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example. C. By asking questions.

12. Why does the plover seem to have a broken leg?
