My 8­year­old son，Kevin，has made friends with some boys in the neighborhood. He has been 36 with them after school. My wife，and I are 37 he has other kids to be with and we have __38__ and encouraged him to play with his friends. We also want Kevin to learn _ _39__ ，so we have asked him to tell us __40__ he's going and to come home at a specified time. The __41__ started when Kevin didn't come home on time. On one occasion，I asked Kevin to be back at 6 pm. By 6：30，I needed to go __42__ him. I found him at a friend's house，and he looked 43 that he couldn't continue playing. After we came home，I sat  Kevin down for a talk about the _44  _ of  keeping his word. I told him I was not worried about his arriving a few __45__ late， after a half hour， he told me he understood and I was _46_  _ . The next day，I came home from work at about 6:30 pm and my wife asked me to go and get Kevin back __47__ she said he should be back home at 6. I walked to his friend's house and a look of __48__ appeared on Kevin's face when he came to the door. At __49__ ，my wife and I spoke to Kevin about why he didn't come home on time again. He said he just wanted to _ 50__ playing. This was _ _51_ _，so we decided to ground(罚不准出门)him for a week. This __52_ no playing with his friends. For the next week，whenever his friends came to ask for Kevin，we let him __53__ to them that he was grounded. We felt this would help him be responsible for his _ _54_ _. As a _ _55__ ，I believe one of the most important things we can teach our kids is self-responsibility and that actions have consequences. 小题1: A．studying B．playing C．chatting D．quarreling 小题2: A．glad B．lucky C．worried D．sure 小题3: A．made B．allowed C．trained D．forced 小题4: A．amusements B．communication C．honesty D．responsibility 小题5: A．when B．why C．where D．whenever 小题6: A．changes B．conflicts C．worries D．problems 小题7: A．looking for B．picking up C．waiting for D．calling up 小题8: A．angry B．nervous C．disappointed D．ashamed 小题9: A．quality B．importance C．stories D．ways 小题10: A．hours B．minutes C．days D．times 小题11: A．satisfied B．shocked C．surprised D．concerned 小题12: A．if B．unless C．because D．so 小题13: A．guilt B．disappointment C．excitement D．hatred 小题14: A．home B．school C．work D．office 小题15: A．finish B．keep C．learn D．stop 小题16: A．impossible B．impolite C．unacceptable D．unbelievable 小题17: A．meant B．suggested C．showed D．implied 小题18: A．reply B．apologize C．tell D．explain 小题19: A．decisions B．words C．actions D．friends 小题20: A．teacher B．parent C．writer D．professor
