For many, strong 21 of anger, shame, sadness, or disappointment can 22 psychological difficulties such as anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. These problems can be far more than the 23 challenges themselves.Several heading experts in the field of LD have offered suggestions on ways to help 24 children from these problems.To be most effective in supporting 25 , it can help to understand some primary 26 for the psychological and emotional challenges they may face.First, it is not difficult to see 27 children with LD are at greater risk for developing psychological difficulties if one considers the repeated failure they 28 . Although they make efforts to “try harder,”children with LD may receive little 29 feedback（反馈）. Their academic struggles and failures are often met with 30 by teachers, peers and parents. Such disapproval can take the form of unpleasant labeling（标签）of a child 31“slow,” “lazy” or “dumb.” 32 developing a sense of pride in their accomplishments, children with LD may 33 in disappointment and shame. Low self-esteem and a lack of confidence only 34 prevent learning and academic success.The second reason is the 35 difficulties they often experience. Research indicates that as many as 75% of kids with LD have such 36 as making and keeping friends. Children with LD are less 37 and often rejected by their peers. Teachers and other adults also may 38 to have negative views of them. Such social rejection(排斥)can result in 39 of self-esteem and feelings of loneliness, which, 40 may lead to psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression.42．A. opinions B. feelings C. ideas D. attitudes43． A. cause B. get C. solve D. overcome44． A. mental B. physical C. potential D. academic45． A. protect B. prevent C. remove D. separate46． A. experts B. children C. teachers D. parents47． A. ways B. rules C. reasons D. directions48．A. where B. why C. which D. when49． A. practise B. experience C. possess D. find50． A. hopeful B. timely C. subjective D. positive51．A. sympathy B. courage C. disapproval D. respect52．A. as B. for C. with D. to53．A.
