Reading – Answer the question
Bringing
up Children
In bringing
up children, every parent, regardless of ethnicity, income, education, or
geographic location, watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill.
However, it is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning
rate, which can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the
child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too
early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the
meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left
alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural
enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents
vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be
especially strict in money matters. Others are severed over times of coming
home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed
represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as
the child's own benefit.
1. According to the passage, in the process of children's learning new
skills, parents ………………………….
A. must encourage them
to read before they know the meaning of the
words they read
B. should achieve a
balance between pushing them too hard and leaving
them on their own
C. never expect too much
of their children
D. should create as many
learning opportunities as possible for themselves
2. It is pointed out in
the reading that ………………………………………
B. parental controls
reflect only the needs of the parents and the values
of the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not
always enforced for the benefit
of the children alone
D. parents must maintain
strict control over their children's pocket money
3. As we understand
from the passage, watching the child's acquisition of new skills ……………………
C. ensures the security
of their children D.
is what parenting is all about
