Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to
school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.
Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be
involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was
parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may
either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically
insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved
parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big
surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."
(1)The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A.parents'expectationonchildren'shealth
B.parents'participationinchildren'seducation
C.parents'controloverchildren'slife
D.parents'planforchildren'sfuture
(2)What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?
A.Modernparentsraisechildreninamorescientificway.
B.Punishingkidsforbadmarksismentallydamaging.

【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)A
【解析】文章介绍和很多人预期不同的是父母过度地参与孩子的教育未必有好的效果。父母应该帮助孩子意识至学校教育的重要性。
1.句意理解题.根据第一段的句子:Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class。可知 prenatal involvement 指的是父母参与孩子的教育,故选B。
2.细节理解题,根据文章第二段的句子:but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.可知Robinson 的研究发现是父母参与孩子的嫩育没有预料的那么有效,故选C。
3.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段的句子:They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."可知美国父母的例子暗示父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性,故选A。

【题目】阅读理解
Like many thickly populated urban neighborhoods, Lincoln Park also has rats. A lot of rats. “Every night when I walk down the sidewalk, I see rats, ” says 36-year-oId Kelly McGee, who has come to accept this aspect of city living. “It's an urban area; I don't know what else we can expect.”
McGee lives just down the block from the old Children's Memorial Hospital, which is about to be torn down as part of a massive redevelopment project. “Construction all over the city often disturbs rats that are living underground,” says Lincoln Park’s City Council representative, Alderman Michele Smith. “Every developer has to do active rat reduction on site, ”Smith says. Already, there are poisonous and inviting food boxes all around the old hospital complex. But the developer of the hospital site still warned residents in a recent community meeting that when digging begins later this month, the rat problem could be awful.
Victoria Thomas, who lives a few miles north of Lincoln Park in Chicago’s Lake View neighborhood, says she tried everything from underground fencing to poison traps to wipe out rats, but nothing worked until she got some cats. From the first day she got the cats, Thomas says the rats started to disappear.
“The cats will kill off a great deal of the initial population of the rats, ”says Paul Nickerson, who manages the Cats at Work program for Tree House Humane Society. “And through spreading their pheromones, a chemical produced by an animal, the cats will keep other rats from filling their absence.” Nickerson says that is what makes the cat program so successful in keeping rats away for the long term. ” The rats are far from stupid. They smell the cats’ pheromones so they’ll stay out of the cats’ territory(领域).”
After Smith highlighted the program in a recent newsletter, Nickerson and Tree House Humane Society have been getting lots of calls from people seeking their own cat colonies. That means a lot more wild cats that might otherwise be killed out of pity will be cared for while doing something that they love: hunting rats.
(1)What is McGee’s attitude towards the rat problem?
A.Indifferent.
B.Tolerant.
C.Annoyed.
D.Frightened.
(2)What does the underlined word in the last but one paragraph refer to?
A.Rats’ stupidity.
B.Tree House Humane Society.
C.Cat’s nature of killing rats.
D.The smell of cat’s pheromones.
(3)What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.The program is a win-win thing.
B.Cats should be taken good care of.
C.Wild cats are more skilled at hunting.
D.It's important to keep the ecological balance.
