Detective: What we've learned is the fact that he left the Level One Club which is a drinking club in Neasden Lane about 1: 30 a. m. , and we' re trying to account for movements up till 2:15 because it was about that time he was found by a member of the club, an employee. He was found in the underpass, the pedestrian way, under the North Circular Road. Death was due to multiple head injuries. We understand that there may have been two girls and a man who was drunk in close proximity to the entrance to the subway, who may have seen our man walking in that direction, or any attacker who may have been following him.
Interviewer: About what time would you think that they were there?
Detective: Just after half past one to a quarter to two.
Interviewer: Then in that case the gap you have is really quite short. It's only more or less half an hour or forty minutes.
Detective: In fact, yes, as short as that.
Interviewer: Any idea of what he was wearing?
Detective: Yes, he was wearing, in actual fact, a light-coloured raincoat, grey trousers, black shoes, collar and tie with a metal tie-pin, dark hair, 165cm, fresh complexion.
Interviewer: Is there any speculation that the motive might have been robbery?
Detective: I don't think it is robbery in the circumstances. I'm more inclined to think there was another reason for him to have been attacked.
Interviewer: And how far away from the Neasden underpass was the drinking club?
Detective: Fifty meters.
Interviewer: And at the moment you know of no other people in the area whom you want to talk to, other than the drunk man and the two women who were seen with him or near him at some time?
Detective: Yes. The club closed at half past one and there may have been other people who left the club who went that way. We understand that there were also mini-club drivers parked in the area who may have seen something as well.
Interviewer: As it is, I take it you haven't been able to identify them.
Detective: No, not at this stage.
Interviewer: Well, thank you very much.

The case that everyone has talking is the arrest of Dale Clover, a thirty-six-year-old father of three, at a shopping mall in St. Louis, Missouri. He was arrested after an employee at the mall saw him spanking his five-year-old son, Donny, and called the police. The father was arrested for child abuse. Mr. Clover admits that he hit his son but says that it wasn't child abuse. He says it was discipline.
Across the country, parents disagree on this issue: What is the difference between loving discipline and child abuse? Some parents like Rhonda Moore see a clear difference between spanking and child abuse. Rhonda Moore believes a little bit of pain is necessary to teach a child what is right and wrong. "It's like burning your hand when you touch a hot stove. Pain is nature's way of teaching us." Moore believes that spanking is done out of love, but child abuse is done out of anger, when the parent loses control. "When I spank my children, I always talk to them before and afterward, and explain why they are being spanked. I explain what they did wrong, and they remember not to do it again." Moore says that her children respect her as a parent and understand that she is spanking them for their own good.
In contrast, Taylor Robinson, father of four, feels that parents should never hit their children for any reason. Robinson wants his children to learn right and wrong, but not because they are afraid of being hit. "Spanking teaches children to fear their parents, not respect them. When a parent spanks a child, what the child learns is that problems should be solved with violence." Robinson believes that children learn that it is acceptable for parents to hurt their children. "None of these are lessons that I want to teach my children. I want my children to learn to talk about their problems and solve them without violence, but spanking doesn't teach that."
Parents are split about corporal punishment, and doctors also disagree about the issue. Dr. John Oparah thinks our child abuse laws sometimes go too far; that is, they make it difficult for parents to discipline their children. Oparah says that today many children do not respect their parents. "Children need strong, loving discipline. Sometimes spanking is the best way to get a child's attention, to make sure the child listens to the parent."
Most doctors, however, say that there are many harmful effects of spanking. Dr. Beverly Lau is opposed to spanking. Lau argues that spanking can lead to more violent behavior. in children. She points to research shows that children who are spanked are more violent when they grow up. "A child may stop misbehaving for the moment, but over time, children who are spanked actually misbehave more than children who are not spanked." Lau adds that research shows that, if you want a peaceful family, parents should not spank their children.
The issue of spanking and corporal punishment will continue to be debated among parents and in the courts. In the meantime, if he is convicted of child abuse, Dale Clover could get up to five years in prison.
What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Doctors believe that spanking is harmful to children.
B.Parents and doctors disagree about the benefits of spanking children.
C.Spanking teaches children the difference between right and wrong.
D.Child abuse laws make it difficult for parents to discipline their kids.

When the war ended in 1783, Washington eagerly returned to Mount Vernon. But his peaceful retirement was interrupted when he was unanimously chosen first president of the United States. He took office in 1789 and was reelected in 1792. In 1796, he refused a third term and retired from political life. He died two years later and was buried at Mount Vernon, which one million tourists visit every year. Shortly after his death, Washington was praised in these famous words: "First in war, first in peace, and first in the heart of his countrymen."
To the American people, Washington symbolizes dignity, statesmanship, and, above all, honesty. The famous cherry tree story, which was invented by Washington's first biographer, has become a lesson in morals for all American schoolchildren. The story goes like this: When George Washington was about six years old, his father gave him a hatchet (small axe), which the little boy loved to play with. One day, he tried the edge of his hatchet on his father's favorite young cherry tree and did enough damage to kill the tree. Next morning, his father noticed the damage and ran into the house shouting, "George, do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry tree.., in the garden? George's famous reply was, "I can't tell a lie, Pa, you know I can't tell a lie. I cut it with my hatchet." His father, pleased with the boy's courage and honesty, quickly forgave him.
Because of this story, traditional dessert on Washington's birthday are cherry pie or a log-shaped cake decorated with cherries. Washington's Birthday is a legal holiday throughout the U.S.A. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February. In some states, this date is called Presidents' Day and honors both Washington and Lincoln.
