20．"Mummy，I don't know what to play with．"Steve interrupts his mother，who is talking to a friend，for the fourth time．"You've got a room full of toys!"his mother says，impatiently．In fact it is thejumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls，cars and stuffed （packed） animals．Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor，listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying："Mummy，I am bored．"A family therapist （心理医生） explains why children lose interest when they have a whole"toy shop"at home："According to their brain development，little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once．There is always just one favorite toy for the moment．All the rest is left lying about．"What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys？Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge．If he/she takes no more notice of a toy，a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away．Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then!A talk with relatives and friends may also help．Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie，and we like her way．A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current （at present） favorites．When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys，they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room．The box of"old"toys goes into the cupboard．When her child says she is"bored"，they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy．
Some favorite toys stay out all the time，and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner，but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something"fresh"to play with．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了孩子们经常抱怨他们没有什么可玩的，家庭治疗师研究发现是因为众多的玩具让孩子们不知道自己钟爱哪一个了，建议把玩具藏起来．
解答 71．A．推理判断题．根据第一段中"Steve's lack of interest in his dolls，cars and stuffed animals""Mummy，I am bored"，表明他对玩具没有兴趣；故选A．
72．D．细节理解题．根据第二段"There is always just one favorite toy for the moment．All the rest is left lying about"，强调了孩子们不会一次同时喜欢很多玩具；故选D．
73．B．推理判断题．jumble混乱，搞乱=mixture in disorder，如不知其意思，可以根据其语境进行推测：众多的玩具让孩子们不知道自己钟爱哪一个了，思维混乱，所以产生厌烦心理；故选B．
74．D．细节理解题．根据第二段"What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys？Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge"可知课文中给家长的建议是把玩具藏起来；故选D．
75．B．推理判断题．根据第二段A family therapist （心理医生） explains why children lose interest when they have a whole"toy shop"at home可知这篇文章最有可能是家庭治疗师写的；故选B．
