【5】D

【解析】

本文介紹了荷蘭人的一種育兒方式——“丟棄”訓(xùn)練。對(duì)于這一訓(xùn)練方式，有的人反對(duì)，認(rèn)為這是不負(fù)責(zé)任的養(yǎng)育方式。而中國(guó)的家長(zhǎng)則是“直升機(jī)家長(zhǎng)”。最后提到好父母需要在保護(hù)孩子和放手之間找到平衡。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文的句子After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say "good luck" and drive away. 在三個(gè)青少年下車之后，父母說“祝你們好運(yùn)”，然后開車就離開了�？芍�，下文應(yīng)該解釋這些孩子接下來干什么。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)可知，選擇The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves. 那些完全迷路的青少年，必須自己找到回家的路。符合語境。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文的句子Dutch(荷蘭的) people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents. 荷蘭人認(rèn)為孩子不應(yīng)該太依賴父母�？芍�，下文應(yīng)該提出荷蘭人是怎樣訓(xùn)練孩子的。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)可知，選擇And they should learn how to solve problems through activities like “dropping”. 他們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)如何通過“丟棄”這樣的活動(dòng)來解決問題。符合語境。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文的句子Although the Dutch enjoy this tradition, other people think it's a bad idea. 雖然荷蘭人喜歡這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，但其他人認(rèn)為這是個(gè)壞主意�？芍�，下文應(yīng)該提到認(rèn)為這是個(gè)壞主意的原因。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)可知，選擇Some parents don't think it is responsible (負(fù)責(zé)任的) parenting. 有些父母認(rèn)為這是不負(fù)責(zé)任的養(yǎng)育方式。符合語境。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文的句子People have many different opinions about parenting. 人們對(duì)養(yǎng)育子女有許多不同的看法�？芍�，下文應(yīng)該用舉例（舉中國(guó)父母的例子）來說明這一觀點(diǎn)。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)可知，選擇In China, some parents try too hard and become “helicopter parents”, which is basically the opposite of “dropping”. 在中國(guó)，有些家長(zhǎng)太過努力，變成了“直升機(jī)家長(zhǎng)”，這與“丟棄”基本相反。符合語境。故選F。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前文的句子What is a good parenting style? 什么是好的育兒方式？可知，下文應(yīng)該提到好的育兒方式是什么樣的。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)可知，選擇Good parents need to find a balance between protecting their children and letting go. 好父母需要在保護(hù)孩子和放手之間找到平衡。符合語境。故選D。
