In many countries, it is important to have many children. In the US, a few religious groups emphasize（强调） the importance of large families, but most people think one or two children are enough, and many couples have no children.1. Having many children would restrict the freedom and individualism（个人主义） of the parents as well as the other children in the family.
Parents teach individualism by the way they raise their children.2. Parents begin teaching this self-reliance (自力更生)early , asking the child to do things on her own and praising her when she does.
3. They bring their children with them to church , to sporting events, to stores, and to social events.However , many places, such as expensive restaurants and live theatre productions , do not welcome children.Most formal social gatherings , those with written invitations do not welcome children either.
Children, especially boys are expected to be energetic and assertive(果敢的). 4. Parents are expected to keep their children under control at all times, particularly in public places and in the homes of others.When a child misbehaves , only the child's parents may discipline him.5. Most parents discipline（训导） their children by rewarding good behaviors, not by punishing bad behaviors.While a spanking（掴） , a slap to the child's buttocks(屁股)， is acceptable to some people, any punishment that wounds the child or leaves a mark is considered child abuse and is against the law.

Readers in Grenoble can now nibble (啃) fiction after Publisher Short Edition introduced eight short-story dispensers (自动售货机) around the French city.
The free stories are available at the touch of a button, printing out on rolls of paper like a receipt. Readers are able to choose one minute, three minutes, or five minutes of fiction.
“The feedback we got has been extremely positive. Just two weeks since its launch, more than 10,000 stories have already been printed. We are thrilled to see it working so well,” said the co-founder Quentin Pleple. “There are only eight dispensers in the city of Grenoble for now but we are planning to introduce more. We are getting requests from all over the world-Australia, the US, Canada, Russia, Grace, Italy, Spain and Chile.”
Pleple said he and his team initially came up with the idea a couple of years ago when taking a break at a drink dispenser. “We thought it would be cool to have it for short stories,” said the publisher. ‘Then, we decided to make a difference: the short-story dispenser was born.”
The French publisher hopes the story will be used to fill the “dead time” of a passenger. “In the bus or the subway, everyone can make the most of these moments to read short stories, poems, or short picture books,” said a statement from Short Edition. “And they can be sure to enjoy the quality.”
The dispensers arc now in locations including Grenoble’s town hall, its tourist office and its library. The stories are drawn from more than 60,000 stories on Short Edition’s website. But there is a problem that users are not able to choose what type of story they would like to read. “Right now they can only choose the length. But that is exactly what really counts, isn’t it?” said Pleple.

C. In France. D. In Italy.
2.What does the underlined word “launch” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Coming into use. B. Being thrown away.

B. To encourage people to write short stories.
C. To attract international tourists to Grenoble.
D. To do research in the field of new technology.
4.In what aspect does the short-story dispenser need to improve?
A. The length of the stories. B. The quality of the stories.
C. The number of the stories. D. The choice of different stories.
It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I please have a room of my own? I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.”
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could—or should—know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again— you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here—they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.

A. John was eager to get a room of his own.

A. finally flew out of the house
B. would have less to do with his family

A. the children did not like to live with adults
B. all her three kids made the author feel depressed
C. none of the members in the family thought the same way
D. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids
