Question

Nearly every parent loses control and screams at the children now and then. But what if you do it repeatedly?

Researchers suspect parents are yelling more. 1       Three out of four parents yell,scream or shout at their children or teens about once a month,on average,for misbehaving or making them angry,research shows. Increasingly,therapists and parenting experts are homing in on how it hurts a child,as well as how to stop it.

Research shows that many parents lose control because they feel attacked or think the child's actions reflect poorly on them. Teens whose parents use "harsh verbal discipline" such as shouting or insulting are more likely to have behavior problems and depression symptoms,says a recent study.

2       Eight-year-olds whose parents disciplined them by yelling have less satisfying relationships with romantic partners and spouses at age 23,according to a 15-year study led by Stephanie Parade,an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University.

3       Warning signs can include：tightness in the throat or chest,rapid breathing,negative thoughts about oneself or feelings of being overwhelmed.

"Learning to start sentences with ' I,rather than * you' can help parents shift from an angry attack to a teaching moment," Ms. Faber says.

Leigh Fransen felt like yelling when her daughters,Alona and Elisha,forgot to feed the family dog,Balto,on two evenings in the same week. Ms. Fransen said, "I wanted to yell, 'You're not getting any dinner tonight,because you didn't feed the dog. 4       ，―that would lead to nothing but tears and misery."

Instead,she started her response with "I” ，saying, "I don't like seeing the dog not fed. Look at him: He is miserable.5       Ms. Fransen says. Alona and Elisha needed to be reminded of the deadline twice,but soon learned to remember on their own. Ms. Fransen praised them for taking responsibility and encouraged them.

   A. And you're going to know how it feels.

   B. I expect him to be fed before you eat your own dinner.

   C. Parents have been conditioned to avoid spanking,so they vent their anger by shouting instead.

   D. Parents can learn to notice signs that a blowup is brewing and dial down their own tension.

   E. Apologizing can help repair a relationship after an outburst.

   F. Another study suggests yelling at children may have consequences that go beyond those of spanking.

   G. Parents can turn a meltdown into a teaching moment by involving kids in finding solutions.

Answer 1

本文主要介紹父母應(yīng)如何避免將沖孩子發(fā)脾氣演變成為一種習慣。

1. C 考查順承關(guān)系。前文說父母現(xiàn)在吼孩子比以前更頻繁，下文說四分之三的父母吼孩子，

在所有選項中，C可以承接上下文，"父母為了不打孩子屁股，只有通過吼叫來發(fā)泄憤怒"。

2. F考查總分關(guān)系。根據(jù)下文可知，這段講的是父母吼孩子容易造成孩子長大后與戀愛伴侶之間關(guān)系的不和諧。因此，此處選的是總領(lǐng)句。

3. D考查總分關(guān)系。根據(jù)下文可知，這一段講的是發(fā)脾氣之前的一些warning signs,因此第一句應(yīng)是總領(lǐng)句而且與signs有關(guān)，所以選D.

4. A考查并列關(guān)系。前文說西為孩子沒喂狗，她就準備不讓孩子吃飯，因此"孩子就能體會到狗俄著的時候是什么感覺"，選A。

5. B考查順承關(guān)系。前文說教育孩子的時候最好用"我"開頭，而且說狗餓著的時候很痛苦，因此下文應(yīng)該是"我希望在你們吃飯之前先喂它"，選B.
