【正确答案】正确答案： The Only Standard for Reward and Punishment When Xiao Ming gets a high score in his examination, his mother is very happy with it and awards him a large sum of pocket money. On the contrary, when he performs badly in the examination, his mother punishes him with a stick. This cartoon satirizes the phenomenon that some parents pay too much attention to their children"s school performance. I hold that this only standard for reward and punishment should be abandoned. The first negative side of this phenomenon is that ethical education is usually ignored by parents, which leads to serious social problems. The common values of courtesy, mutual respect, persistence, responsibility are not imparted to the children. As a result, some students are insensitive and unkind to their classmates, discourteous to adults, and quick to loose their temper. Secondly the only standard for reward and punishment confines children"s attention and energy to books, which will inevitably make them become bookworms. They are powerless when they leave school because they cannot overcome difficult situations by themselves. In conclusion, taking scores as the only standard for reward and punishment is harmful to both individuals and society. Our society does not need persons without ethical standard or useless bookworms. Therefore, for the benefit of our society and the individual child, every parent should abandon this practice.
