Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another.Understandably so.Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything,from organized sports to music,dance and more.But we can overdo it,leaving our children feeling a little burnt out,and according to parent educator Diane Loisie,it’s their school work that suffers the most,“After school,if they’re busy in a number of sporting events,besides,they need to do their homework,then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom.Your child needs free time.So if you’re filling up that after school time,then it’s during the day they’re going to be taking a break.”
Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away.“Relaxing time is important for children.It’s time just to do the things they want to do.Children can go up to their room,or they can play around.It doesn’t look like productive time;parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow,are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day.It helps a child prepare for sleep,but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”
It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons.After all,many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is part of that.However,Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.“When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything,then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gain a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely.It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!
【语篇解读】 为了孩子的成长,父母煞费苦心,可是,这么做对孩子有益吗?艺在精而不在多,明智地为孩子选择适合他们自身的活动才是对他们最好的呵护。
1.What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?
A.They can get bored easily about everything.
B.They might have no time to do the homework.
C.They might not pay much attention to learning.
D.They can not easily focus on learning during the day.
答案 D推理判断题。结合第一段后半部分中的“then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom”以及“then it’s during the day they’re going to be taking a break”可推知,如果孩子们放学后上太多的课,白天他们就不容易集中精力学习。
2.What does Professor Claire McDermott think of children’s playing around?
A.It is productive.
B.It is a bad habit.
C.It is helpful.
D.It is a waste of time.
答案 C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句的内容可知Claire McDermott教授认为孩子们玩耍是有益处的。
3.What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Don’t be children’s drivers after school.
B.Let children learn something from various subjects.
C.Make your children learn as much as possible.
D.Choose activities for your children wisely.
答案 D 主旨大意题。最后一段是对文章主题的归纳,结合本段后半部分的内容,尤其是倒数第二句可知本文意在倡导父母明智地为孩子选择活动。
B
Slow parenting means parenting children in the contact of nature without any interference of materialistic influence.We can also term it as “selfraising”.In slow parenting children are allowed to do what they think proper and parents just keep a watch over the child.Curiosity of the child leads to exploring and discovering things.Parents provide little help only when it’s too necessary,otherwise keep themselves away from the child and just have a look on him/her.This brings about a feeling of selfdependency and they are encouraged to solve their problems.
This is a natural way of learning.When a child is left to learn in a natural environment,the child’s natural development takes place.Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally.Watching TV,playing video games or joining classes of dance,swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.
Here creativity of their mind is developed.They explore ideas.The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature,so can our kids.So let our children play in the garden,to watch flowers,plants,birds,butterflies and other gifts of nature.In the classes of dance,swimming etc.their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed.In these classes they are overburdened and can’t enhance their creativity.So let them play in the open air or garden withont any burden instead of joining classes.
Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them.But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them.Their skill to learn and understand comes out.Maybe the process is slow,but it will be their exploration,which will make them selfdependent,and selfcapable to learn.

4.In slow parenting,parents________.
A.give the whole directions to what their children do
B.keep a close watch over their children

A.Keeping children away from materialistic influence.
