Most recently, it's very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews． Naturally, it's easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us． We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them．As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me．So, I'll let them fail． I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow．And failure — along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc．— will be part of growth for them．Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone, is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today．From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish． My children now are becoming little masters of compromise, but they try to negotiate （协商） everything now．It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don't accompany them on job interviews． 1.Why do parents accompany their kids on job interviews? A．Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties． B．Because they think they can help them on the questions． C．Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews． D．Because their kids strongly request them to do so． 2.According to the author, what is beneficial to kids' development? A．Sheltering them． B．Keeping them safe． C．Leaving them alone． D．Blaming them． 3.Why does the author stress failure in kids' life? A．To make them stronger than other kids． B．To help them grow in this tough world． C．To help them develop all social skills． D．To make them learn to compromise． 4.Which of the following might be the best title for die text?

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。 Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time．Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage．But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention? Here are some tips from Dr．Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia． 1．Laceration （裂口） The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration． 1. A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep．However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention, 2．Fingertips cut off Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery （外科手术） to repair． 2. More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful． 3．Bleeding 3. Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous （静脉的） bleeding．This means the blood flows steadily from the injury．The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound．In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial （动脉的） bleeding．__4._ Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection．Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water．_5. Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage． A．How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is． B．That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip． C．This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible D．The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth． E．Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty． F．With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood． G The length is usually not as important as the depth．
