others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept” If they are hypocritical and not practise what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion Questions 35 The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children A is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains B is to send them to clinics C is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced D offers recapture of earlier experiences Questions 36 Learning to wait for things is successfully taught _ A in spite of excessive demands being made B only if excessive demands are avoided C because excessive demands are not advisable D is achieved successfully by all children Questions 37: The encouragement of children to achieve new skills A should be focused on only at school B can never be taken too far C will always assist their development D should be balanced and moderate Questions 38: Parental controls and discipline A serve a dual purpose B are designed to promote the child’s happiness C reflect only the values of the community D should be avoided as far as possible Questions 39: The practice of the rule “example is better than precept” A only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves B would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals C will free a child from disillusion when he grows up D is too difficult for all parents to exercise Questions 40: In the 1st paragraph, the author lays some emphasis on the role of the _ in helping the child in trouble A psychiatrists B community C family D nursery Questions 41: The phrase ‘conforming to’ in the 2nd paragraph means A adapting to B accepting C agreeing with D following Questions 42: The word ‘zest’ in the 2nd paragraph can be best replaced by A appetite B excitement C enthusiasm D enjoyment (4) Questions 43: The word ‘imposed’ in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to A excepted B introduced C made D constrained Questions 44: Hypocrisy on the part of the parents may A result in their children’s wrong behaviour B make their children lose faith in them C disqualify their teachings altogether D impair their children’s mind Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks THE POWER OF PACKAGING During shopping trip to your supermarket, you will (45) _ many similar products How manufacturers (46) _ you to buy their products and not those of another company?
