【英语】英语阅读理解(教育文化)专项习题及答案解析含解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解Dear Mom,The big question which shocked parents often ask their child after a confrontational(冲突) moment is, "Where did you get this attitude from?" I know you hate to admit it, but I get much of my determined and strong-willed nature from you.Mom, I know it's hard dealing with the teenage anxiety and the ever-changing moods that come with raising a child. But you should also marvel at the fact that I've made it this far, that I'm healthy and happy.When I was small, I would attend barbecues and family events and wander away from my parents. It wouldn't be long before someone would stop me to ask whether I was my mother's daughter."Your mom is Melissa," they'd say, a warm smile on their faces. "Is that Tight?" I would nod. I think parents feel much hurt when their child talks back or defies them, I was shocked at this statement. To me, I acted nothing like you, Mom.No one says, "I know you're Melissa's daughter because of your eyes and nose". It's the character traits(特点)that seal the deal. Dry wit, intelligence, and yes, maybe a little bit of attitude-these are the things I am grateful I have received from you. There's nothing wrong with having attitude.Like for most black individuals, attitude is what defines you and me, and it's what keeps us from being mentally oppressed and defeated. Attitude is a non-violent form of protection and confrontation-where would we be in the world without this tool? Surely not where we are.Mom, when people ask me where I get my attitude from, I tell them: you. And when they ask me where I got my drive, my work ethic, my good hair, and my sense of humor, I say you as well. I will always say this.When I'm asked why I am the way I am, why I refuse to allow others to hurt me with their words or actions and why I think and speak about things openly and without fear. I'll tell them it's because of you.I'll complain to you about the arguments between us that leave me wondering about how God made us so much alike that we hardly even noticed. But I'll tell them about you.Love,Malahni （1）In this letter, Malahni mainly expressed her to her mother.plaintB.loveC.argumentD.anxiety（2）People recognized Malahni as Melissa's daughter mainly because of her .A.appearanceB.behaviorC.character traitsD.race（3）The underlined word "defies" in the 4th paragraph most probably means .A.refuses to obeyB.agrees withC.takes pride inD.tries to understand（4）Malahni can be a woman .A.easy to be oppressed and defeatedB.hard to get along withC.with a positive attitude towards lifeD.with violent confrontation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了作者母亲对于作者的人生态度的影响。

【英语】高三英语阅读理解(教育文化)及其解题技巧及练习题(含答案)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解By now you've probably heard about the "you're not special" speech, when English teacher David McCullough told graduating seniors at Wellesley High School: "Do not get the idea you're anything special, because you're not." Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony 一and a whole lot of other parents across the Internet — took issue with McCullough's ego-puncturing (伤自尊的) words. But lost in the uproar (喧嚣)was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether they're particularly talented or accomplished or not. In our eagerness to elevate their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities, a crucial requirement for getting better at anything from math to music to sports. In fact, it's not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above average.Such inflated self-judgments have been found in study after study and it's often exactly when we're least competent at a given task that we rate our performance most generously, in a 2006 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an essay test were the most charitable in their self evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor students, the authors note, "lack insight" into their own inadequacy. Why should this be? Another study, led by Cornell University psychologist David Dunning, offers an enlightening explanation. People who are incompetent, he writes with coauthor Justin Kruger, suffer from a “dual burden": they're not good at what they do, and their very clumsiness prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.In Dunning and Kruger's study, subjects scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor -extremely overestimated'' their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile (百分位数) they guessed they were in the 62nd. What these individuals lacked (in addition 9 clear logic, proper grammar and a sense of humor) was "meta cognitive skill" the capacity to monitor how well they're performing. In the absence of that capacity, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. There's a paradox here, the authors note: The skills that lead to competence in a particular domain are often the very same skills necessary to evaluate competence in that field? In other words, to get better at judging how well we're doing at an activity, we have to get better at the activity itself.There are a couple of ways out of this double bind. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you yourself don't possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. Second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. Find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly you're doing, but just what it is that you're doing wrong. As Dunning and Kruger note, success indicates to us that everything went right, but failure is more ambiguous: any number of things could have gone wrong. Use this external feedback to figure out exactly where and when you screwed up.If we adopt these strategies — and most importantly, teach them to our children — they won't need parents, or a commencement (毕业典礼)speaker, to tell them that they're special. They'llalready know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.（1）The author thinks the real problem is that .A.no requirement is set up for young people to get betterB.we always tend to consider ourselves to be privilegedC.we don't know whether our young people are talented or notD.young people don't know how to assess their abilities realistically（2）We can infer from the passage that those high-scoring studentsA.know how to cultivate clear logic and proper grammarB.tend to be very competent in their high-scoring fieldsC.don't view themselves as competent because they know their limitsD.don't know how well they perform due to their strict self-judgement（3）The strategies of becoming special suggest that .A.we need internal honesty with ourselves and external honesty from othersB.the best way to get better is to carefully study past success and failureC.through comparison with others, one will know where and when he failsD.neither parents nor a commencement speaker can tell whether one is special（4）Which can be the best title of this passage?A.Tip On Making Ourselves More SpecialB.Let's Admit That We Are Not That SpecialC.Special or Not? Teach Kids To Figure It OutD.Tell The Truth: Kids Overestimate their Talents【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，是特殊或者不是？我们要教会孩子理解它。

高三英语阅读理解(教育文化)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析

高三英语阅读理解(教育文化)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解Idioms are one of the hardest parts of learning a language. For those of you who don't know, an idiom is a phrase which has a meaning, but the meaning is not clear from the words themselves. If you translate an idiom word for word, it sometimes makes no sense at all. They are like puzzles and even native speakers can get confused when someone uses a phrase that they've never heard of.With that in mind, here are five common English idioms that you can use in a variety of Situations.⒈Get your act together (Meaning: you need to improve your behaviour/work)This might be something your teacher says to you if you score badly in an exam or if you misbehave in class. You can also use it to talk about people in general. For example, if your friend is being mean or nasty for no reason, then you can tell them that they need to get their act together.⒉Pull yourself together (Meaning: calm down)This is a somewhat impolite way of telling someone that they are overreacting and that they need to relax. Only use this if you think the person you are speaking to is getting upset over something insignificant. If your friend tells you that their close relative has died, it is NOT the time to tell them to pull themselves together.⒊I'm feeling under the weather (Meaning: I'm sick)Yes, it's longer and more difficult to say than 'I'm sick', but if your English teacher asks you why you haven't done your homework, he or she is more likely to forgive you if you say that you were feeling under the weather. You may not have done your English homework, but your teacher might be impressed that you know how to make eloquent excuses in a foreign language.⒋It's a piece of cake (Meaning: it's easy)I don't know why this means what it does, but sometimes you just have to accept that English people use weird phrases.⒌Break a leg (Meaning: good luck!)This is perhaps one of the most confusing yet well-known English idioms. If someone says this to you, do not take offence or think they are threatening you; they are just wishing you luck. It is most often used for people wishing success to actors and actresses before they perform on the stage, but it can be said in other situations, too.All in all, learning a new language can be challenging. It's definitely not a piece of cake, especially when there are so many confusing idioms. However, with enough hard work and interest, you will succeed in no time. Break a leg!（1）Which idiom is proper for you to say to your worried classmate who is to take part in the 800-metre race at the school sports meet?A.Get your act together.B.Pull yourself together.C.Break a leg.D.It's a piece of cake.（2）How should you respond when you hear your deskmate say, "I am feeling under the weather."A."What's wrong with you?"B."Don't worry. Let's call 120."C."Get up and finish your homework."D."Why don't you take an umbrella with you?"（3）According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about idioms?A.They sometimes make no sense at all.B.Native speakers have trouble understanding idioms sometimes.C.Idioms are the hardest part of learning a language.D.We can guess the meaning of an idiom from the words in it.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，习语是学习语言最困难的部分之一，作者列举了五个常见习语的用法。

Just like Fleabag, the character she played in the comedy-drama series of the same name,Waller-Bridge feels that her life is a mess. It's just really wonderful to know that a dirty andmessed up woman can make it to the Emmys, she said. She may be messed up, but Variety magazine calls her an all-around icon. Last month, Waller-Bridge took home three Emmy awards for her work on Fleabag —bestwriting in a comedy series, best lead actress, and best comedy series. Her success is partly because of her family. Waller-Bridge was brought up in a free environment.Her mother always told her, You can be whatever you want if you imagine it. So Waller-Bridgebroke all the rules about what a good girl should do. Our laws and moral codes don't apply —she lives without fear of consequence, The Sun noted. That fearlessness extends to being authentic (真实的) in her writing and acting. Unlike the can-do heroines and strong, successful women in many TV dramas, Waller-Bridge shows a flawed butreal character. The character Fleabag was a screw-up who always found a way to say or do thewrong thing. It resonated with the lives of stressed-out women everywhere in reality —doingtheir best to find balance in their lives, a viewer wrote on US movie website. Villanelle in Killing Eve, another hit TV series developed by Waller-Bridge, was a little bit violentbut showed no interest for the rules others created, which make many people see themselves in her.

高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)解题技巧讲解及练习题(含答案)

高考英语阅读理解(教育文化)解题技巧讲解及练习题(含答案)一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解I used to believe that love meant putting everyone else and their needs first, before my own. While I do think there is some truth to that, in the sense that being a giving person is one of the ultimate acts of being a loving person, I came to realize that I must give to and love myself first and foremost.Here's why. When you put everyone and everything else above you, you are no longer valuing yourself and your needs. And when you are not meeting your needs, and you don't take care of yourself (emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually), you can't be the best version of yourself to the special people in your life. So in fact, you don't love them at your full potential!Here are some things to consider. Are you physically taking care of yourself? Do you nourish yourself with the right foods? Do you get enough sleep and exercise? Are you at a healthy weight, and on top of your check-ups? If not, I bet your energy is low, you're tired and stressed, and your confidence isn't the highest (because you probably don't feel your best）. Now think about how much more you could give to others when you aren't exhausted, you're happy with what you see in the mirror, and you aren't on edge with stress.Are you emotionally and mentally healthy? As humans, we're so complex and having ups and downs is normal. But in general, assess where you stand emotionally. If it's in a healthy place and you can manage your emotions in a healthy way - great! But if you self-soothe(自我安慰)in destructive ways and have a negative attitude and energy about you, realize that it's not just affecting you, but others too. When you aren't an emotionally and mentally healthy person, that energy pours into everything you do, and everyone you're around will feel the effects, too.How's your spirituality? In this sense, spirituality is about having an ultimate purpose and being in tune with your true self. Do you wake up every day excited for what your life is about, and have gratitude for all the abundance you already have? If not, you may not be listening and living to what your heart truly desires. Living this way long term, may affect the essence(本质)of your inner being and, in turn, may not allow you to show up your very best for the world.Be kind to yourself. It can be difficult to put your health and well-being first when life is demanding between your career, family, friendships, relationships, and so on. If you can think of any ways to improve your well-being and love yourself more, start today! Take a baby step towards this. Perhaps try getting an hour more of sleep. Move your body in a way that feels good. Take time for yourself to be with your thoughts and without distractions and feel that peace.（1）Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Put Others Above YourselfB.Keeping Physically HealthyC.Meeting Your Own DemandsD.Taking Good Care of Yourself（2）According to the passage, it can be concluded that .A.only if you are at your best can you love your loved ones bestB.if on top of your health index, you're tired and stressedC.being kind to yourself means being cruel to othersD.physical health is more important than mental health（3）Keeping spiritually healthy means .A.dissatisfaction with what you haveB.waking up in time every dayC.showing up your best for the worldD.agreeing with your true self（4）Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage?A.B.C.D.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，作者认为在爱别人之前，必须首先给予和爱自己。

考研英语教育类阅读理解练习及翻译

考研英语教育类阅读理解练习及翻译考研英语教育类阅读理解及翻译：PLIGHT OF THE PRESCHOOLERS How do they beat the odds?Competition for admission to the countrys top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth Krents realized it had reached a new level.Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Krents is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information (they dont use an age cutoff), she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. "Well, we dont have a child yet," he told Krents. "Were trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem."School obsession is spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of independent and religious schools all told the same story: a glut of applicants, higher rejection rates. "We have people calling us for spots two years down the road," said Marilyn Collins of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. "We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters." Public-opinion poll after poll indicates that Americans No. 1 concern is education. Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are turning to privateschools, even at price tags of well over $10,000 a year. "Were getting applicants from a broader area, geographically, than we ever have in the past," said Betsy Haugh of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. "Every year, there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of, there are a significant number of children who dont have places," said Krents, who also heads a private-school admissions group in New York.So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no foolproof way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to siblings or alumni children. Some use lotteries. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or because too many applicants were boys.The worst thing a parent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform--for example, by pushing them to read or do math exercises before theyre ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all thats needed. Parents, meanwhile, may need a more open mind about relatively unknown private schools--or about magnet schools in the public system. Theres no sign of the private-school boom letting up. Daltons spring tours, forearly birds interested in the 2001-2002 school year, are filled. The wait list? Forget it. Thats closed, too.By Pat Wingert Newsweek; 05/15/2000, Vol. 135 Issue 20, p76, 2/3p, 1c注(1)：*选自Newsweek，05/15/2000, p76注(2)：*习题命题模仿对象2003年Text 4.1.The author uses the examples to show __________.[A]the concern of Americans[B]the charm of the private schools[C]the fierce situation for preschoolers[D]the economic situation of American families2.What is implied in Paragraph 4?[A]The harsh way of forming a class.[B]The high expectation of the parents.[C]The wise selection of the school.[D]The difficulty of getting enrolled.3.The authors attitude toward this event is __________.[A]indifferent[B]apprehensive[C]supportive[D]indignant4.Instead of giving their children great pressure to outperform, the parents should ______.[A]avoid the competition and wait for another year[B]give up their first choice and go to the unknown school[C]let their children be and do what they want to do[D]deal with the matter more casually and rethink the situation5.The text intends to express _________.[A]the popularity of the private schools[B]parents worry about their childrens schooling[C]the plight of the preschoolers[D]the severe competition in going to school答案:CABDC篇章剖析*采用提出问题---分析问题的模式。

【英语】高三英语阅读理解(教育文化)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解教育文化类1．阅读理解For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, I'll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrel on unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn't matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.（1）Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.B. Both are about where to draw the line.C. Neither has any clear winner.D. Neither can be put to an end.（2）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B.The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.C.The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.D.The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.（3）Parents and teens want to be right because they want to__________.A.give orders to the otherB.know more than the otherC.gain respect from the otherD.get the other to behave properly（4）What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A.Causes for the parent-teen conflictsB.Examples of the parent-teen warC.Solutions to the parent-teen problemsD.Future of the parent-teen relationship【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）C（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，对于父母来说，抚养一个十几岁的孩子就像是打一场持久战，但是是一场没有赢家的持久战。

考研英语教育类阅读理解及解析

考研英语教育类阅读理解及解析考研英语教育类阅读理解及解析：HOW TO LURE TEACHERS?Gore says that hed spend more to boost their pay, Bush that hed cut through the bureaucracyOn this one point George W. Bush and Al Gore would agree: our schools needmore Marilyn Whirrys. For 35 years, Whirry has inspired high school students to think deeply about great literature and to use its devices in their writing. She is the kind of teacher that students come back to visit decades later in her classroom in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Last May a national educators group named her its Teacher of the Year. And with the nations public schools planning to hire 2.5 million new teachers over the next decade, Whirry is excited that each presidential candidate is pushing ways to recruit, train and reward better teachers. "Theyre both talking about teacher quality," she says. "We have a real opportunity right now."Bushs plan combines most existing federal funds for professional development and class-size reduction into a flexible new fund for teacher training and recruitment, and he adds $400 million a year in new money. Bush would allow states to spend the funds as they see fit--so long as they establish teacher-accountability systems. This is similar to what Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s. But then, says Emily Feistritzer,president of the Center for Education Information, "the money disappeared." Under Bushs plan, she says, "I worry that the money wont go where its intended to once it reaches the states."Bush would expand funding from $2.4 million to $30 million for the Troops to Teachers program, which places veterans who want to teach in public schools. The program makes use of people like Arthur Moore, who retired in 1994 after 21 years in the Army and knew he wanted to teach. "There are a lot of people who would make excellent teachers but are discouraged by the bureaucracy of the certification process," says Moore, 45, who began teaching fourth grade in Baltimore and now tests students for special education. "Troops to Teachers is an excellent way to tap their potential by lowering the barriers." Bush would also expand loan forgiveness for math and science majors who teach in needy schools.Gores plan, endorsed by the teachers unions, would spend $8 billion over 10 years to help recruit 1 million new teachers, with provisions for college aid, loan forgiveness and signing bonuses. Gore would spend an additional $8 billion to provide raises of as much as $5,000 each to teachers in poor districts that have adopted aggressive plans to improve teacher quality, plus as much as $10,000 each to teachers certified by a national board. Gore would also require states to ensure that all new teachers pass rigorous assessments. Says Feistritzer: "Gores proposal might be a little excessive in the number of teachers he wants to recruit, but his teacher testing is exactly what we need."~~~~~~~~By Rebecca Winters Time; 11/06/2000, Vol. 156 Issue 19, p88, 2/3p, 1c注(1)：*选自Time;11/06/2000, p88, 2/3p, 1c注(2)：*习题命题模仿对象2005年真题text 1第一题(1)，2001年真题text 4第2题(2)和第3题(4)，text 3第1题(5)和第2题(3)1.In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topicby________.[A] quoting the Teach of the Year[B] citing an example[C] making an assumption[D] posing a contrast2.According to Emily Feistritzer, Bushs plan might_________.[A] be handicapped by the states[B] give the states too much freedom[C] help states recruit more teachers[D] be too flexible3.The basic problem many veterans encounter when they seek the teaching profession is _____.[A] their lack of training and experience[B] their background[C] that they do not have the making of a teacher[D] the barriers in the certification process4.From paragraph 4 we can infer that__________.[A] Gores plan is better than Bushs plan[B] poor districts will receive more funding from Gores plan[C] Gores plan focuses on the number of teachers while Bushs plan on the accountability[D] Gores plan gives qualified teacher generous paycheck5.What is the passage mainly about?[A] The competition between Bush and Gore.[B] Two presidential candidates plans of teacher training, recruitment and rewarding.[C] The increasing importance of the teaching profession.[D] The differences between Bushs plan and that of Gores.答案：C A D D B篇章剖析：本篇*是说明文，介绍了两位总统候选人布什和戈尔各自的教师招募和培训计划。

专题限时检测(十八)阅读理解之教育类(共3篇，限时23分钟)A(2014·重庆南川中学第二次诊断)You put a great deal of effort into reaching the college of your choice. It's time to get started. But what's next? Beginning college can be an exciting but awkward time. Follow these tips to adjust to your new life rapidly and make the most of your college experience.●To save time and money, use the college's bus system. Taking the bus to school is quick, easy and free in most college towns. You won't have to locate or afford a place to park either. It's also a good way to be environmentally aware.●Save pennies on books by waiting until class starts. You might not even need all of the recommended books. New textbooks cost an arm and a leg. Try buying used textbooks — it's a surefire way to save money and serve the purpose as well.●Do never look at college life as an endless series of parties and social activities. But there is a whole lot more to college if you're serious about graduating. Having a good college experience is all about balancing work and fun.●Be aware that your living environment can largely affect your academic success. If the dorm doesn't suit you, consider living at home with your family or renting your own apartment. The best location for your studies isn't always your dorm. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Alternatively, buy some headphones that block out noise.●Be mindful of your diet. Make healthy food choices and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are processed or high in sugar. The “freshman 15” is real. Many college students gain at least15 pounds during their freshman year.●While electives (选修课) can be helpful when figuring out your major, you shouldn't entirely rely on them. Clubs and other organizations exist around. Get involved. Make sure, though, that you still have time to study. Having_too_much_on_your_plate can hurt your grades.1．Which of the following ideas can be financially wise?A．Driving your own car.B．Buying used books.C．Renting an apartment.D．Taking part in activities.2．In the text, freshmen are repeatedly warned against________.A．academic failures B．physical problemsC．traffic accidents D．social activities3．The “freshman 15” tells the fact that some freshmen________.A．take part in limited activities on campusB．have little regular physical exerciseC．focus less on their academic workD．take relaxed attitudes to their diets4．The underlined phrase “having too much on your plate” probably refers to________.A．using too much money for mealsB．eating too many unhealthy foodsC．taking part in too many after-class activitiesD．taking an elective that has too many studentsB(2014·四川绵阳第三次诊断)I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (挫败的), but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and more accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up ?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to lead to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their ways.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.5．Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him________.A．work fast B．go politeC．stay relaxed D．keep attentive6．The underlined word “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to________.A．his son's doing better while standing upB．his failure in keeping his son under controlC．his own experience as a school boyD．his disappointment with his active child7．By this passage, the author attempts to tell other parents to________.A．correct their kids' manners from the early agesB．respect and trust their kids' ways of behaviorsC．develop a good relationship with their childrenD．guarantee their children's freedom at home8．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Parental help with teens' studyB．Adult influence on teens' growthC．Kids' success in their own stylesD．Friendship between generationsC(2014·重庆主城八区第二次调研)Many kids help out around the house with chores (家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances (补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doingchores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes thatby rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worthdoing unless you get something in return. “Running any kind ofhousehold is a team effort，” Susie said. “A home is a living space foreveryone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all haveresponsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards，”says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement (强化) to help motivate them.”What do you think?
