解答 EFBDA
31.E 概括总结.根据What they look for is your presence-to talk,to cry,or simply to sit with them quietly可知,他们需要的是父母陪伴,听他们说、哭或者仅仅安静的陪着他们,所以这是最好的方式,即倾听,故选E.
32.F 上下文语境理解.从主旨句Help them get organized可知,父母要帮助孩子有计划,所以紧接着提到Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly.父母帮助孩子们思考学什么以及计划等,故选F.
33.B 概括总结.从后面的句子If this happens,encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.A healthy diet,rather than junk food,is best for reducing stress谈到鼓励孩子饮食清淡,健康的饮食有助于减少压力,所以前句应该是考试的压力使孩子们没有胃口,故选B.
34.D 概括总结.根据Persuade your teen ager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying可知,父母要劝说孩子有充足的睡眠或者做一些积极的事情,这些都是放松的方式,故选D.
35.A 上下文语境理解.根据Show a positive attitude得知,此处说的是父母的态度问题,故选A.
