Most recently, it's very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews． Naturally, it's easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us． We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them．As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me．So, I'll let them fail．

I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow．And failure is along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc．—will be part of growth for them．Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone  is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today．From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish．

My children now are becoming little masters of compromise, but they try to negotiate （協(xié)商） everything now．It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't accompany them on job interviews．

1.Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews?

A．Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties．

B．Because they think they can help them on the questions．

C．Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews．

D．Because their kids strongly request them to do so．

2.According to the author, what is beneficial to kids' development?

A．Sheltering them．                      B．Keeping them safe．

C．Leaving them alone．                  C．Blaming them．

3.Why does the author stress failure in kids' life?

A．To make them stronger than other kids．

B．To help them grow in this tough world．

C．To help them develop all social skills．

D．To make them learn to compromise．

4.Which of the following might be the best title for die text?

A．Never Shelter Your Kids

B．Let Your Kids Fail

C．Be Eager to Grow Up

D．Live Without Parents

Annie had just begun school. Her parents were tired of the methods they were using to correct her behavior, including scolding (訓(xùn)斥), and taking away privileges (特權(quán)). Annie still needed to be scolded for her bad behavior, but her parents felt the good things she did needed to be recognized. So, they began to spend more time recognizing the improvements (改進(jìn)) in Annie’s behavior and the good things she did every day rather than like before when they only noticed her bad behavior. Within a few weeks Annie began to change her attitude and her behavior improved.

Praise is one of the most powerful tools parents can use to teach their children good skills and help them grow. Praise works well when it is given and when you remember to use it frequently. It is important to praise all good behavior. Look for the good things your child does. Praise will have a lot of effects on your child. Use the 4 to 1 rule. For every bad behavior you notice, find four good behaviors or reasons to praise. It is a good way to remember to look for good behavior.

Remember to praise the things your child has already done well, or improvements in his behavior and new skills. Show your agreement by smiling and touching his shoulder or back. Be sure to say what your child did well in detail. Tell your child how good behavior helps and that it is liked by others.

What was the result of recognizing Annie’s good behavior?

A. She started to correct her bad behavior.

B. She was tired of her parents’ scolding.

C. She was not scolded for her bad behavior.

D. She spent more time praising her good behavior.

A. praising their children for what they did in detail

B. encouraging their children to go on doing good things

C. telling their children more about their bad behavior

D. praising their children in a good way with smiles

What can we learn from the passage?

Another man-made wonder of the US was built long before the nation was established. About 900 years ago, the Ancestral Puebloan people built villages high in the walls of canyons（大峽谷）in Colorado, where 600 cliff dwellings are now part of the Mesa Verde National Park.    

Visitors can stand at the top and look into the dwellings almost hidden in openings of the rock walls.The Puebloan people cut small steps into the rock, which connected buildings containing hundreds of rooms.

The rock walls have protected the buildings from severe weather in the area; therefore, they remain mostly unchanged in the hundreds of years since they were built.

Our final man-made wonder is in the northwestern city of Seattle, Washington. The Space Needle was built as the central structure for the 1962 World’s Fair.          

The 184-meter-tall structure was designed by Edward Carlson, which has a wide base on the ground, with its middle narrow and a large ring-like structure on top.The structure was meant to look like a “flying saucer,” a vehicle that was popular in science fiction space travel stories. The saucer includes an observation area and eating place.The restaurant slowly turns to provide visitors with a 360 degree view of Seattle.

The Space Needle was not very costly, and was designed and completed in about a year and opened on the first day of the World’s Fair.

Today, the Space Needle is the most popular place for visitors to Seattle. And it remains the internationally known symbol of the city.

What can be talked about before the text?

       A. American geography.

       B. Touring in the USA.

       C. Other US artificial wonders.

       D. World natural wonders.

The underlined word “dwelling” is closest in meaning to “????????????________”.

       A. houses       B. people C. canyons      D. steps

The buildings in the rock stay almost unchanged because________.

    A. the weather there is severe

    B. they were well built

    C. people look after them well

    D. the rock walls protect them

Which is true of the Space Needle?

       A. It remains a symbol of the US.

       B. Edward Carlson built the structure.

       C. It has a ring-like structure on top.

       D. It is a man-made wonder in Colorado.

What is the best title of the text?

       A. Cultural Relics          B. Artificial Wonders in the US

       C. Symbols of Cities    D. Natural Places in the US
