A
A Fighter for Justice
He was denied admission to one law school because he was black. But today that same school has a law library named after him. You may not know much about Thurgood Marshall, but he strengthened education rights for African Americans all over the USA.
Marshall was born in Baltimore in 1908. Like other African American students of his time, he went to segregated schools. These schools were not illegal. An 1896 law stated that schools for blacks and whites could be “separate but equal.” But Marshall knew that most black schools were not equal. He decided to do something about it.
Marshall received a law degree from Howard University. Then he began to work at changing the country’s schools. Marshall’s strategy was to start with colleges and graduate schools, because he thought judges would sympathize with ambitious young African Americans searching for an education.
In 1935, he successfully started a legal case against the University of Maryland Law School to accept its first black student. Other cases followed, with similar results. By the 1950s, Marshall was ready to turn to grade schools and high schools. In 1954, he accepted the case of Linda Brown, who wanted to attend a white grade school near her home. As a result of Marshall’s arguments, the Supreme Court changed the law. It said that “s

eparate” schools could never be “equal.”
In 1967, Marshall became the first African American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Until he retired in 1991, he supported many other civil rights bills.

Does your teen spend all of his or her free time playing video games, talking on the phone or hanging out with friends that don’t really meet with your approval? Is your son or daughter always asking you for money? Perhaps it’s time to tell your teen to get a job. You might disagree by asking “But he’s still in school and if he gets a job his schoolwork might suffer.”
Does he have a cell phone or want one? Are you going to buy it? Are you going to pay the monthly phone bill? If you are, that’s your choice but it might not be the best way to teach your teen responsibility. Helping kids out on the path to adulthood is teaching them to be independent, but buying them whatever they want and paying the bills for them is the first step in creating a dependent adult. This process is often referred to as enabling. You might ask, “Enabling them to do what?” The answer is enabling them to depend on others throughout their lives rather than themselves. Teaching them to be self-supporting is the bes

t alternative.
Parents may argue that it is their responsibility to support their children and it is true that as parents it is our responsibility to suit the needs of our children until they reach legal age but part of responsible parenting is preparing our children to be responsible and self-supporting as they move into adulthood. When teens get their own jobs it gives them a sense of achievement. It also helps keep them out of trouble since they have less time to be tempted(誘惑) by peer pressure. They are making their own money, which allows them to make purchases such as cell phones and pay the bill on their own rather than depending on their parents. Allowing them to pay their own bills also gives them a chance to get to know the world of adulthood.
All too often, teens view adulthood from the view of being old enough to drive and drink but they overlook such aspects of adulthood as working, paying bills, saving money and managing expenses responsibly. When your teen gets a job you should encourage him or her to open a bank account with the first paycheck. It may be best to suggest a savings account at first since balancing a checkbook may lead to problems for those who are not conservative spenders. Encourage your teen to spend money wisely. Believe it or not, it really does make a difference to them when they’re spending their own money rather than yours.
46. The purpose of the first paragraph is ________.
A. To point out a serious phenomenon B. To complain about careless parents
C. To tell what kids are doing nowadays D. To raise the topic by asking questions
47. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “it” refers to ________.
A. teaching your teen to be independent B. meeting the needs of your teen
C. buying a cell phone for your teen D. paying your teen’s phone bill
48. The author wants to _______ through this article.
A. persuade teens to spend money wisel

y B. advise parents to help teens be independent
C. suggest teens being independent early D. encourage parents to be more responsible
49. It can be learned from the passage that _______ .
A. it is very important for teens to be self-supporting
B. nowadays teens are more dependent on their parents
C. it is very important for teens to balance a bank account
D. teens often hope to have more freedom just like adults

My cousin Casi agreed to watch my children for me, while I went to a lunch meeting. To thank her, I went by Starbucks to get her a drink. I remembered she didn’t like coffee, so I ordered apple cider. I pulled up to the window, and the cashier informed me that they were out of apple cider. I said it was okay, and changed my order to a mocha. As I handed my credit card to the cashier, she handed me a coupon(贈券) “This is good for a free drink on us, any time you want it. You would not believe how many people have yelled at us today.”
The manager then told me how awful customers had been, and how much they appreciated my willingness to accept the problem of the lack of apple cider. I left Starbucks with a giant smile on my face because of my behavior of a patient, accommodating citizen.
A few days later, I went to the bank. I pulled up next to the window. The teller never even looked up, just continuing to count her money. Finally, she looked up and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t see you.” She opened the tray, and I placed my deposit in the tray, and she pulled it back in. However, to my surprise, I watched her walk away without my deposit. After ten minutes, this “teller” finally took my deposit. By then, I had reached my boiling point. I violently grabbed the receipt and hit the gas of my minivan as hard as I could. I yelled, “She deserved it. She didn’t see me.”
A few days later, I had a rough day with my kids. Near the Starbucks, I knew I deserved to use my free coupon. I ordered

my favorite. As I pulled up to the window, I handed the cashier my little gift card. She said, “Oh, that’s nice.”
I smiled, and explained how I had earned the gift by my remarkable display of politeness. The manager had a quick look at me, and said, “Oh, I remember this lady. She was so sweet. We had run out of apple cider, and she said it was OK.”
We only get one chance to make a first impression. I don’t know what the bank teller had to do was more important than my little deposit. I could have asked nicely, and to be honest, I wasn’t even in a hurry. I was only concerned with myself.
