[单项选择] Passage 5
The older I grow the more impressed I
am with the role of luck or chance in life. To be born when and where one finds
himself is, of course, from the point of view of the individual pews the
sheerest luck of all--good or bad. There are millions now living
in America who would long since have been dead, had they been born or had
remained in countries of their parents’ origins. Luck does not determine or
explain achievement--merit often plays a preponderant role. This is obvious when
we observe the differences in performances among those who have a roughly common
environment and are judged by a single, relevant standard. But even to be in a
position to be evaluated on one’s merits is a matter of luck or good
fortune. Sometimes those who are qualified, and more often,
those who are potentially qualified never get the chance. Some A. life span B. places of birth C. achievement D. personal excellence

As children get older, self-discipline should take the place of imposed discipline. Constrains become internalized and children begin to weigh from within the validity of their promptings (敦 促) . But their tendency to be self-critical, to develop a code of their own, depends on the extent to which they must have kept critical company. The dialogue within reflects the dialogue without that is why discussion is so important during adolescence.

They will not say, "I’m your father and I’m telling you not to smoke," but will point out the dangers involved. It is a further question, however, whether a child’s acceptance of good reasons should be the criterion for his action. If a parent explains to a child why it is stupid an A. they begin to consider everything carefully with their own standard B. serf-discipline becomes a conscious or unconscious part of themselves C. they tend to rebel against senseless expression of authority D. all of the above
