The Japanese Macaca monkey has been studied in the wild for over 50 years, in 1952. on one small Japanese island, scientists dropped some 36 made dirt for the monkeys. The monkeys liked their taste, but they found the dirt 37.　 One clever 18-month-old monkey found he could 38 the problem by washing the sweet potatoes in a nearby river. She taught this to her mother. Her 39 also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

All the younger monkeys 40 learned to wash the dirty tweet potatoes to make them 41 to eat. But many old monkeys found it very hard to learn this and still ate the 42　 sweet potatoes.

Then something very surprising 43 . In the autumn of 1958. scientists found that the monkeys on other nearby 44 began washing their sweet potatoes too. Scientists still don't fully understand how this knowledge was 45　 from one island to another.

I live in a big city．It’s noisy and dirty and I always feel very 36 ．At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some 37 air and have a good rest．A few weeks ago I decided to go to see my 38 . I was really looking forward to them．

One day I was watching a movie at home . Tears 　31 from my eyes as I saw a touching scene. My three-year-old son came to me and asked me 　32 I was crying for. I kept silent as I couldn’t explain 　33 him it was just an emotional thing. To my 34 , he touched my face with his little hand and said, “Dear Mom, stop crying! You see, everything will be fine. You are my good 　35　 .So just get up and let’s get ready for school.” On hearing him say this to me, I couldn’t help laughing. It was so 　36 for a child to say so. Later I realized that he had repeated(重复) almost all 37 I had told him while he was crying one morning.

　　 The first time a child begins to speak, he tries to 　38 what his parents have been telling

him for a long time. Usually parents start with the words “Mama” , “Papa” and so on. But as the child 　39 learning and possibly starts speaking on his own without being taught, we as parents always forget he’s still being tutored (教导)by us. The only difference is that we’re now doing it in a more active way than before. We 　40 use words which we don’t want our child to say, and when he says those words , we 　41 where he has learned them. Even then, some of us don’t realize the child has learned the words from us only. Instead we start to put the blame(指责)on his friends , or 　42 who has talked to him when we’re not present.

　　 So if you want your child to have perfect behavior, you’ll have to 43 a good example to him. And if you can’t do that, you have no 　44 to expect your child to have such a thing. After all, the parents’ words and behavior have a great 　45 over their child.
