on with. It often made fun of George. So George decided to put it in the fridge. The parrot kept
shouting and saying bad words to George. However, after a while, it stopped.
George thought to himself, “Oh no! I froze my aunt’s bird and now it is dead.” He opened the
door and saw the bird alive!
The bird said, “I’m sorry for what I did to you. And I will never act up again. I promise I will
behave myself.”
George said, “What made you change ”
The bird answered and pointed to a frozen chicken, “Because I saw what you did to the other
bird.”

D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences.
As every parent knows, if you have children, you worry about them all the time. However, it
seems that these days we’re worrying about our kids a lot more than we used to. Are we trying to
protect our children too much and will this cause problems in later life
Kids in Britain used to walk to school every day in the past, but now parents don’t let their
children go out on their own because something bad may happen to them. If children stay indoors
all the time, they will have health problems in later life.
The danger of letting your kids go out by themselves is smaller than you might think. The
media makes parents worry about children’s safety. Now, children are safer than they have ever
been, so parents shouldn’t protect them so much. Children need to make decisions themselves.
Over 27% of British children are now overweight, partly because they spend too much of
their free time playing computer games and watching TV. But if kids never go outside, they can’t
learn to care for themselves in the real world.
So far, we can learn that if you want happy and healthy kids, give them back their freedom.
答案：18. more than 19. health problems 20. make decisions 21. care for
