Last Saturday, my parents and I paid visit to my grandparents by train. There was a
large number of people in the crowded train, but everyone help those who had lots of
baggage and behaved politely. Along the way, we enjoyed beautifully views. At first, we saw
one hill after another. Then what came into our eye were fields with green crops. In a six-hour
trip, we arrived at my grandparents’ house. Exhausted though I felt, but I was happy to see my
grandparents, which I hadn’t seen for a long time. It’s really an excited trip because it was the
first time I had taken so a long-distance train.

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。
Since the day of its birth, the United Nations has been the subject of much debate.
1. Others think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history.
The U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world’s problems.
2.
The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes.
3. National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President at the time, believed that the Allies (联盟) should plan for peace before the war ended. On December 1, 1943, Roosevelt, Britain’s Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace.
4.
During the next year and a half, the idea of such an organisation was debated around the world. Then came the big day. On April 11, 1945, the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco. The goal of the meeting was to write the U.N. Charter (宪章). All of the fifty-one nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for the Charter.
5. Every nation present voted for the Charter. No one voted against it.
A. The U.N. Charter is a beautiful piece of writing.
B. After a long debate, a final Charter was agreed upon.
C. Even the smallest country on earth can have its voice heard.
D. They asked all countries, large and small, to join the organization.
E. These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself.
F. Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.
G. They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace.
Phrases like “tiger mom” and ‘‘helicopter parent” have made their way into everyday language. Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort, we might turn out children with bright futures. But is there anything wrong with a kind of “overparenting style”?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied. Many of the studies, conducted by Diana Baumrind, a famous psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way, who sets high expectations but gives her child independence. These “authoritative parents” appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically, psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved, or controlling and more involved. Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children. Carol Dweck, a social psychologist at Stanford University, has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children. In a typical experiment, Dr. Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle. Most do so with little difficulty. But then Dr. Dweck tells some, but not all, of the kids how clever they are. As it turns out, the children who are not told they’re smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles. They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests, praising children’s talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence. Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one’s status as “smart”. Dr. Dweck’s work strongly supports that of Dr. Baumrind, who also found that reasonably supporting a child’s independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident. If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can’t walk, you reduce her confidence. Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is easier when they are young. The potential mistakes carry greater risks, and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.
1.According to the passage, a “tiger mom” ______.
A. helps her children realize their dreams
B. speaks her children’s everyday language
C. places reasonable expectations on her children
D. pays close attention to her children’s experiences
2.It is implied that controlling style of parenting may _____.
A. cause more problems in children
B. foster independence in children
C. face more challenges of children
D. lead to children’s academic success
3.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests that ______.
A. a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B. overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
C. puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D. bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
4.The last paragraph tells us that ______.
A. children should not be given much freedom
B. parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C. parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D. children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
