Question

Nearly every parent loses control and screams at the children now and then. But what if you do it repeatedly?

Researchers suspect parents are yelling more. 1       Three out of four parents yell,scream or shout at their children or teens about once a month,on average,for misbehaving or making them angry,research shows. Increasingly,therapists and parenting experts are homing in on how it hurts a child,as well as how to stop it.

Research shows that many parents lose control because they feel attacked or think the child's actions reflect poorly on them. Teens whose parents use "harsh verbal discipline" such as shouting or insulting are more likely to have behavior problems and depression symptoms,says a recent study.

2       Eight-year-olds whose parents disciplined them by yelling have less satisfying relationships with romantic partners and spouses at age 23,according to a 15-year study led by Stephanie Parade,an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University.

3       Warning signs can include：tightness in the throat or chest,rapid breathing,negative thoughts about oneself or feelings of being overwhelmed.

"Learning to start sentences with ' I,rather than * you' can help parents shift from an angry attack to a teaching moment," Ms. Faber says.

Leigh Fransen felt like yelling when her daughters,Alona and Elisha,forgot to feed the family dog,Balto,on two evenings in the same week. Ms. Fransen said, "I wanted to yell, 'You're not getting any dinner tonight,because you didn't feed the dog. 4       ，―that would lead to nothing but tears and misery."

Instead,she started her response with "I” ，saying, "I don't like seeing the dog not fed. Look at him: He is miserable.5       Ms. Fransen says. Alona and Elisha needed to be reminded of the deadline twice,but soon learned to remember on their own. Ms. Fransen praised them for taking responsibility and encouraged them.

   A. And you're going to know how it feels.

   B. I expect him to be fed before you eat your own dinner.

   C. Parents have been conditioned to avoid spanking,so they vent their anger by shouting instead.

   D. Parents can learn to notice signs that a blowup is brewing and dial down their own tension.

   E. Apologizing can help repair a relationship after an outburst.

   F. Another study suggests yelling at children may have consequences that go beyond those of spanking.

   G. Parents can turn a meltdown into a teaching moment by involving kids in finding solutions.

Answer 1

本文主要介绍父母应如何避免将冲孩子发脾气演变成为一种习惯。

1. C 考查顺承关系。前文说父母现在吼孩子比以前更频繁，下文说四分之三的父母吼孩子，

在所有选项中，C可以承接上下文，"父母为了不打孩子屁股，只有通过吼叫来发泄愤怒"。

2. F考查总分关系。根据下文可知，这段讲的是父母吼孩子容易造成孩子长大后与恋爱伴侣之间关系的不和谐。因此，此处选的是总领句。

3. D考查总分关系。根据下文可知，这一段讲的是发脾气之前的一些warning signs,因此第一句应是总领句而且与signs有关，所以选D.

4. A考查并列关系。前文说西为孩子没喂狗，她就准备不让孩子吃饭，因此"孩子就能体会到狗俄着的时候是什么感觉"，选A。

5. B考查顺承关系。前文说教育孩子的时候最好用"我"开头，而且说狗饿着的时候很痛苦，因此下文应该是"我希望在你们吃饭之前先喂它"，选B.
