passage 15

Question No - 1

- Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d : Bringing up children is a complex process. The parents are the child's first educators. Every mistake they make in bringing up their children is a battle lost in the fight for a better future. Children should be armed with good qualities to become good citizens. During the first year a baby needs a lot of motherly care. He has to be fed, he eats often, and his food is usually different from the adults. For his spirit to grow normally, he needs someone to dote on him, to think that he is the most wonderful in the world, to make noises and baby talk to him, to hug him and smile at him and to keep his company during wakeful periods. In big families, children are not always given due care. A child is a liable to be neglected by the mother because she is either busy or has many other children to care for. The infant whose mother can't take care of him during the day time needs individual care whether it is in his own home or someone else's. It may be a relative, neighbor or a friend whom the other knows and has confidence in. If a new maid or a nurse is to come to the house, the mother should know her well before she leaves the baby in her care. Nearly all working mothers nowadays take their children to nurseries.
