It’s easy to have a fight in your family. Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your parents, or even you fight with your brother or sister. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry. Remember even people who love each other fight sometimes.
When you’re sad or angry, keep calm and then try thinking of a way to solve the problem. You could go out to run around or play a ball, or just find a quiet place to relax. When you’re really calm, talk with the person you argued with. Then maybe you will feel much better.
Even if you’re very angry, never hurt anyone in your family. That could only make things get worse. If your brother or sister hurts you, it’s important to tell your parents. It’s also important to tell an adult if your parent hurts you. You could have a family meeting to talk about it when the fight happens. At the meeting, everyone should tell how they feel and give their advice.
Sometimes, you should visit a family doctor to talk about the problems and get some good advice. It’s not always easy to stop families from fighting. But working together can make it work.

In China, some parents do almost everything for their children these days. They look on their older children or sometimes even adults as babies! It is a very common problem in China.
Some parents don’t let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves. So their children can’t do anything by themselves and have to depend more on them.
In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy to know that. As a result of too much care, their children don’t know anything about the world! Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care spoils（破坏）their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these children may be in great trouble.
It is nice that parents show their care to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents’ love is out of love, and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.

【61题详解】
根据“In China, some parents do almost everything for their children these days. They look on their older children or sometimes even adults as babies! It is a very common problem in China.”可知，在中国一些家长为孩子做了几乎一切事情是非常普遍的问题，故填Some parents do almost everything for their children these days.
【62题详解】
根据“Some parents don’t let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves. So their children can’t do anything by themselves and have to depend more on them.”可知，一些家长不让孩子做家务也不让他们单独去任何地方，结果他们的孩子自己什么都做不了。故填Because some parents don’t let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves.
【63题详解】
根据“In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time”可知，孩子们不高兴总是被父母照顾，故填Unhappy.
【64题详解】
so所以；their children can’t do anything他们的孩子不能做任何事情；by themselves他们自己；and“并且”；have to不得不；depend more on更多依赖。故填：所以他们的孩子们不能独自做任何事情，不得不更多得依赖父母。
【65题详解】
本文介绍了家长过度照顾孩子已经是中国非常普遍的问题。家长包办一切，会使孩子依赖家长。父母对孩子关爱原本是好的，但父母的爱要适量。围绕主要内容，标题合适即可。如：Children are no longer babies.

It’s easy to have a fight in your family. Sometimes your parents fight with each other, or you fight with your parents, or even you fight with your brother or sister. When it happens, you may feel sad or even angry. Remember even people who love each other fight sometimes.
