Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的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。

It’s natural for all kids to worry at times, and because of personality differences, some may worry more than others. 【1】 They typically worry about things like grades, tests, their changing bodies, fitting in with friends, the goal they missed at the soccer game, or whether they’ll be bullied (欺负), or left out. Luckily, parents can help kids manage worry and deal with everyday problems.

To help your kids manage what’s worrying them:

Find out what’s on their minds.

Be available and take an interest in what’s happening at school, on the team, and with your kids’ friends. 【2】 As you listen to stories of the day’s events, be sure to ask about what your kids think and feel about what happened. Sometimes just sharing the story with you can help lighten their load.

【3】

Being interested in your child’s concerns shows they’re important to you, too, and helps kids feel supported and understood. Reassuring (令人安心的) comments can help—but usually only after you’ve heard your child out. Say that you understand your child’s feelings and the problem.

Guide kids to solutions.

【4】 When your child tells you about a problem, offer to help come up with a solution together. If your son is worried about an upcoming math test, for example, offering to help him study will lessen his concern about it.

Offer reassurance and comfort.

Sometimes when kids are worried, what they need most is a parent’s concern and comfort. 【5】 It helps kids to know that, whatever happens, parents will be there with love and support.

A. Show you care and understand.

B. Take casual opportunities to ask how it’s going.

C. It might come in the form of a hug or time spent together.

D. Kids sometimes worry about things that have already happened.

E. Not all the kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school.

F. What kids worry about is often related to the age and stage they’re in.

G. You can help reduce worries by helping kids learn to deal with challenging situations.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】B

【3】A

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了父母如何帮助孩子解决他们遇到的烦恼。

【1】F 根据上一句：孩子有时候担忧是很自然的。因为个性的差异，一些人会比别的人担忧更多。故F项What kids worry about is often related to the age and stage they’re in.（孩子们担心的往往与他们所处的年龄和阶段密切相关）符合语境，故选F。

【2】B 根据上句：要关注自己的孩子在学校发生的一切。再根据下句：当你听到孩子在学校的故事时，一定要问孩子在想什么，事情发生时的感觉怎样。故此处表达的意思是：采取随便的机会问在学校的情况如何。故选B。

【3】A 本空是一个小标题，根据小标题的特点，通常用祈使句做小标题，故在A/B中选择，B已经被排除；另外，再根据本段第一句：对你孩子的关注感兴趣表明他们对你也很重要。故A项Show you care and understand.符合语境，故选A。

【4】G 根据下句：当你的孩子告诉你一个麻烦事时，提供帮助想出一个解决方案。可知上句的意思是：通过帮助孩子处理挑战性的境况，可以帮助孩子减少担忧。故选G。

【5】C 根据上句：有时当孩子担忧时，他们最需要的是父母的关心和安慰。可知下句的意思是：它可能以一个拥抱的形式或在一起度过的时间。故选C。
