Question

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn’t come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.

Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. 【1】

Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. 【2】 Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks needs to improve. If he’s stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.

Help keep goals achievable. Don’t throw cold water on your child. 【3】For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can’t swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.

【4】 Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is the key in keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (横木). 【5】

A. Change goals every so often.

B. Make a visual goal reminder.

C. Don’t always tell him what you think.

D. He’s climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal.

E. You can take sports as example to help explain it to him.

F. Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it.

G. When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces.

【3】G

【4】B

【5】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文就怎样帮助孩子设定目标给了几个建议。

【1】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。本段的主题句是：解释单词“goal”。空前的意思是：当提到足球时，你的孩子可能知道“goal”是什么，但是他可能不理解日常生活中的“goal”意味着什么。故这里选E（你可以举运动的例子来向他解释“goal”。）与上下文一致。

【2】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。本段主要谈的是听你的孩子说话。空前的意思是：理论上，你想让你的孩子为他自己决定目标。空后句意：让他说说他认为他能把什么做好以及他认为需要改进什么。所以这里选C（不要总是告诉他你的想法。）与上下文一致。

【3】G 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：不要给孩子泼冷水。空后句意：例如，你的孩子想成为游泳冠军，但是他还游不了池塘整圈，你可以建议他把这作为他的第一个目标。所以这里选C（当目标超出他的能力范围时，帮助他把目标分成几步。）与上下文一致。

【4】B 考查对上下文语境的理解。本空缺的是本段的主题句，空后的意思：帮助你的孩子以简单能懂的方式写下他的目标。所以这里选B（制作一个能看见的目标提示。）与上下文一致。

【5】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前句意：一个很简单的方法就是在纸上画一个梯子，在顶部写下他的目标，在横木上写下通向目标的每一步。所以这里选D（他在向顶部爬梯时他在接近目标。）与上下文一致。
