Question

2．Some children are natural-born bosses．They have a strong need to make decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow．Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，"operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine，"says his mother．"The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers（剑）．Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones．"
"Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation．It's an inheritable trait，"says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina．Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位） when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other．
Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family．Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，says family psychologist John Taylor．Children，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，"have secret feelings of weakness"and"a desire to feel safe．"It's the parents'role to provide that protection．
When a"boss child"doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family．The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends．It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways．
"I see more and more parents giving up their power，"says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years．"They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were．But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills．Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious．"

Answer 1

分析 文章主要讲述了究竟是什么导致了孩子bossy的行为，原来的父母对他们的放纵，对他们的要求不够严格，导致他们缺乏安全感．

解答 66．B  细节题．从文章的第一段operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine可以得出结论：这类孩子以自我为中心．
67．A．第二段的第一句话"Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation．可以得出文章开头说的人的几个本性特征是可以继承的．
68．B 推理题．从文章的第三段…too much control in the hands of young isn't healthy for the children or family和第四段…doesn't learn limits at home进行判断，家长应该set the limits．
69．D．细节题．从文章的倒数第二段最后一句It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways．可以得到答案为D．
70．C 主旨题．文章的一段说明了什么样的孩子是bossy children，第二段说明了两种可能的原因（先天和后天），第三段挖掘了心里方面的原因； 下面又说了什么样的家庭更容易导致这种情况，所以答案是C．

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
