         The expression "down to earth" means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with someone who
    is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.
         Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be
    better than others who are less important. A person who is filed with his own importance and pride is said to
    have his nose in the air.
         Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both
    feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality
    (现实). He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is
    real.
         The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds
    is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day-dreamer.
         When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses
    in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us—solid (牢固的) and
    strong.

         Without question, the most stressful years for parents are when their children are between 13 and 20.
    With young children, control seems to be quite easy. If a child doesn't do what he is told to do, he is just
    made to do it. If a child is leaving the house and doesn't listen when the parent calls him back, the parent
    simply goes after the child picks him up and brings him back. But as the child grows older and bigger,
    parents can't do that any more. They can't just pick the child up and bring him back. With older children,
    control is best achieved when the parents do those things the children want. In this way, the things do the
    controlling for you. For example, parents may think it is necessary for the child to clean his own room, but
    the child may think it's no use and refuses to clean his room. It is important for parents to understand how
    their use of control must change as their children grow older.
    1. Many children do what they are ________ to do ________ they are under the age of thirteen.
    2. A child sometimes ________ to his parents when he grows older.
    3. If a child leaves the ________ without permission (同意), he will be brought ________.
    4. When a child ________ to clean his room, he may think it's not ________.
    5. It's important for parents to ________ their children and ________ their way of controlling as time goes on.
