8．The term"helicopter parents"refers to"a style of parents who are over focused on their children"．
Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25to family problems at age 30，40 or even older．They constantly shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time．
Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons．Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their child's life in an attempt to protect them．Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate with their own children．When parents see other overinvolved parents，it can cause a similar response．They feel that if they don't involve themselves in their children's lives，they are bad parents．
The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire．To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen．Mary called the landlord（房东）to install an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations（协商），her mother rushed in and demanded action．"I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord．We could have gotten it done ourselves．She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，"says Mary．
Obviously，overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite．In the long run parents are actually damaging their child's basic skills to deal with matters independently．It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own．They're winning the battle，but actually losing the war．

解答 29．A推理判断题．根据第二段第一句Helicopter parents are always making a big push to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30，40 or even older．可知，直升机式家长总是尽力地为孩子提供成功机会．由此可推知，直升机式家长过分管教孩子的目的是为孩子做些有帮助的事．
30．D 细节理解题．根据最后一段第二句In the long run parents are actually damaging their child's basic skills to deal with matters independently．可知，从长远来看，直升机式家长对孩子的过渡管教会对孩子造成巨大伤害．
31．B 推理判断题．最后一段最后一句句意为：直升机式家长可能赢了某场战役，但实际上输了一场战争．由此可推知，下一段的内容应该是劝说家长不要做直升机式家长．
32．D观点态度题．根据最后一段It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own．They're winning the battle，but actually losing the war．
可知，家长对孩子的过度管教会对孩子的生活造成伤害，让孩子失去自信，失去处理生活压力的能力．由此可推知，作者不赞同对孩子进行直升机式管理．
