Question

Every family with kids has seen its share of arguments, shouting and complaining. It turns out that all those conflicts serve an important purpose in the development of children . Saying “no” followed by a bad temper, just may be an unavoidable part of growing up. And that’s a good thing. These are the first steps toward independence. Even young children have to challenge their parents sometimes. Studies have shown the following:

·Although stressful, conflicts are beneficial for children.

·Learning to manage conflicts is necessary for a child’s development.

·Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire more attention than parents can or should give.

If you understand why conflicts occur, it can minimize the conflicts between you and your children. Conflict is a child’s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or she learns to express his or her needs and ideas. Parents develop and drive this independence by putting children to the outside world both formally and informally.

Conflicts can grow out of a difference of opinion or might just be a way to blow off steam(發(fā)脾氣). In rare situations, constant conflicts between parents and children can indicate a deeper emotional problem. Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.

It’s important to offer your child choices, which should be determined by age and developmental level. The more responsible a child is, the more choices he or she gets in reward. You can threaten your child with punishment, but often offering a choice will better improve angry situations. Consequences and rewards should have some meaning to your child.

Often a child’s adverse(敵對的)reaction when he or she hears the word “no” can be avoided by giving the child an explanation as to why you have refused his or her request.

【解析】試題分析:

1.這是一道推斷題。全文圍繞父母和孩子的矛盾展開，并著重向父母們分析了孩子產(chǎn)生抵觸情緒的原因、意義等，因此C項正確

2.這是一道猜測詞義題。只有B項解釋針對性地照應(yīng)了下文，即“These are the first steps toward independence.”

3.這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)“Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire more attention than parents can or should give”可知A項正確。

4.這是一道細節(jié)題。B項與文中“In rare situations，constant conflict...”語義一致。

5.這是一道推斷題。從該文末段可知，父母針對性的解釋可以避免和孩子產(chǎn)生摩擦，因此D項推論成立。

考點：這是一篇研究社會現(xiàn)象的文章。

點評：文章通過一系列的事例說明了父母與孩子之間所產(chǎn)生的沖突是孩子成長過程中起著很重要的作用。文章告訴父母通過什么樣的方法可以使他們與孩子們之間的沖突變成對孩子們的成長有利的方面。閱讀中要注意這些要點之間的關(guān)系。然后帶著問題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀。
