Many crimes and social problems are caused by children. Despite the damage these teenage criminals cause, parents are not responsible in most countries. This article will discuss whether parents should be forced to pay for their children’s crimes.
There are many reasons why parents should not be responsible for crimes committed by teenage children. First of all, teenagers today are independent. They often move out of the parents’ house at 18 years of age or younger. They are expected to learn to take care of themselves and make their own decisions, and not to stay like small children attached to their parents. Secondly, parents are working. They cannot watch their adolescent children all the time. A third point is that even children from good families can sometimes commit crimes. Parents should not be responsible if they have worked hard to raise their children properly.
However, young troublemakers cause many problems, and I feel we should make parents responsible. Firstly, most juvenile（未成年的）crimes are committed by adolescents whose parents do not care or make any effort to control their children. If parents had to pay fines（罚款）, they might make more effort. Another point is that even though the children may seem mature, they are not really able to make good decisions. Parents should be responsible for raising and teaching their children until they are fully grown. Furthermore, if children know that their parents will have to pay, they will think carefully before getting into trouble.
In summary, there are good reasons both for and against making parents pay for acts committed by their children. However, I feel strongly that if we want to reduce the number of such crimes, we need to make parents take more responsibility.
67. Those who insist that parents should not be responsible for their children’s crimes believe that ________.
a. teenagers are able to deal with things on their own
b. children need to experience difficulties to be fully grown
c. it’s impossible for parents to be with their children all the time
d. parents are not to blame as long as they try their best to educate their children
A. a, c, d B. a, b, c C. b, c, d D. a, b, d
68. According to Paragraph 3, the main reason for children’s crimes is ________.
A. unstable social environment B. parents’ carelessness
C. bad family relationship D. heavy financial burden
69. The author thinks that making parents pay for their children’s crimes is ________.
A. useless B. easy C. necessary D. impractical
70. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Proper ways to educate children B. Reasons for children’s crimes
C. Should children move out? D. Should parents pay?

Q&A
Question: I come from a poor family, and my parents do what they can to pay for my education. What I want to do is let my parents live a happy and comfortable life. Where can I find riches? Do I need to leave school and find a well-paid job?
Answer: You are a considerate child. 71 An African farmer heard tales about other farmers who discovered diamond mines. These tales excited the farmer so much that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and hunt for diamonds himself.
So he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering the African continent, searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming （闪烁的）stones. 72
Meanwhile, back on the farm, the man who had bought his farm happened to be crossing a small stream on the farm one day. 73 He picked it up. It was a sparkling stone — a good size stone — and, admiring it, he later put it on his mantel（壁炉架）.
Several weeks later, a visitor looked closely at it, then he nearly became unconscious. He told the farmer it was one of the largest diamonds ever discovered. The farmer said that the stream was full of these brilliant stones, and his farmland was covered with them. 74
If the first farmer had taken time to study and prepare himself — to learn what diamonds looked like in their rough state w and to thoroughly explore the farm he had before looking elsewhere, his wildest dreams would have come true. 75
A. I’d like to give you some advice on how to find the riches.
B. Now do you have any idea of what you should do to find the riches?
C. Finally, he threw himself into a river and drowned.
D. However, something special he was carrying dropped into the stream.
E. Needless to say, the farm turned out to be the most productive diamond mine.
F. Before I answer your questions, I want to tell you a story.
G. Suddenly he saw something gleaming at the bottom of the stream.

Dear Mr. Helper,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. Faced with great pressure in life, I’m writing to seek your help.
I spare no effort to study, hoping that I’ll become a university student in the near future. I do make some progress in my studies. However, my parents believe that what I’ve done is far from satisfactory. They expect me to do much better.
Almost every day I have to face endless examinations. Our teachers always say that only when we have made adequate preparation will we be able to succeed in the coming College Entrance Examination. Tired and helpless, I don’t think I can put up with such great pressure any more. I’d appreciate it if you can give me some advice.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
