In general，laws for children are a good thing.

　　One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.

　　Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished，others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaskaalmost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit them. If the children go too far，the parents punish them by making fun of them.

　　Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true inGermany. In contrast(對比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

　　D篇

　　【文章大意】通常而言，為兒童制定法律是件好事。100多年前，在工業(yè)國家，7歲大的孩子在工廠一天要工作18小時，工廠的老板可以打小孩，家長和老師們也可以這樣做。今天世界上有很多保護兒童的法律。有些人認(rèn)為兒童應(yīng)該遵紀(jì)守法，否則就要受到懲罰。其他人則不同，愛斯基摩人從不懲罰兒童。如果孩子們做得太過份了，父母親用開玩笑的方式來懲罰他們。在其他地方則不同，美國的家長可以在家打孩子的屁股，但老師不能在學(xué)校打?qū)W生。德國跟美國一樣。但在瑞士任何人都不能打孩子，并有專門的政府部門來維護孩子們的權(quán)利。

　　16. They were treated very badly.

　　17. Do something too much.

　　18. No, he can’t.

　　19. None can do that.

　　20. A plan for ending the children’s relationship with their parents.
