【题目】A Great Way to Teach Children to Take Responsibility
As parents, one of the most important things to teach children to take responsibility is to include chores as a part of their daily routine. In order to make a family function smoothly, every member must contribute. Teaching your children to take responsibility at an early age makes it easier for them to shoulder greater responsibilities as they grow older.
【1】 If your children leave their crayons lying on the table after drawing, picking up those crayons is not a chore. It is cleaning up a mess they have created. 【2】
【3】. For example, if it is to feed the dog every day, make sure the children understand that if they fail in their responsibility, the dog will go hungry.
Make rewards and punishments a part of the lesson. Together decide whether they will be rewarded or not. 【4】 Some parents make their reward a monetary payment, while others choose to reward with certain privileges, such as extra television viewing time.
Children need to be taught that there are punishments for their actions in case of not doing their assigned chores. Decide and agree from the start what the punishment will be.
Teaching your children the importance of contributing to the family is of great importance. 【5】 By taking this step, you have done a wonderful thing for your children by providing them with life skills they can take with them into society.
A.A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family.
B.And what punishment they will receive if a chore isn’t done.
C.Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future.
D.Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves.
E.Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters.
F.Children will not be rewarded at all for merely cleaning up.
G.And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done.

【解析】
这是一篇议论文。通过实例说明父母应该如何教孩子承担责任。
【1】
根据段落行文的规律,第一段往往是总说。而到第二段开始就是分说了。既然第一段已经总起这篇文章,那么第二段开始的地方就应该是描述如何承担责任的第一个环节。再根据这段后面的内容:如果你的孩子在画画之后将蜡笔留在桌上,那么收拾这些蜡笔就不是琐事,而是收拾打扫他们所造成的乱糟糟的环境。那么这段刚开始就应该说明这些内容的总起:以什么样的方式开始教孩子承担责任呢?选项D内容:Start by teaching children the difference between a chore and cleaning up after themselves. 事后通过教孩子区分琐事和清洁之间的区别开始。这一选项切合题意。故选D。
【2】
根据空格前面的内容:如果你的孩子在画画之后将蜡笔留在桌上,那么收拾这些蜡笔就不是琐事,而是收拾打扫他们所造成的乱糟糟的环境。那么接下来就应当讲述一下什么是琐事这个定义。因此A选项:A chore is a specific task a child has been assigned which helps improve the life of the entire family.琐事就是一项特别的任务,小孩子得到的任务是帮助提升整个家庭的生活质量而付出的努力。此项切合题意,故选A。
【3】
根据空格后面的描述:如果是每天喂狗的话,要确保孩子懂得如果他们哪天没有履行职责的话,狗会挨饿。这件事情的描述告诉我们一定要告诉孩子每一件事情的重要性以及这件事为什么重要。而E选项:Teach children the importance of each assignment, and why it matters.教会孩子每件任务的重要性以及为什么重要。此项切合题意,故选E。
【4】
根据上下文得知此段的核心和关键词是讲回报和惩罚。空格前面两句话可以推出如下结果:让回报和惩罚成为每日功课的一部分。和孩子一起决定他们是否应该得到奖励,如果是的……,有些父母亲……根据此推定,选项G最切合题意:And if so, what the reward will be for a job well done. 如果是的话,对于做的好的工作应该得到什么奖励。故选G。
【5】
空格前的句子告诉我们教孩子为家庭做贡献非常重要。空格后句子告诉我们通过采取这个步骤,你已经为你的孩子做了一件很精彩的事情,那就是为你的孩子形成了走向社会的生活技能。这个生活技能在这里指的是父母亲在培养孩子承担责任的同时收获了的技能,可以在社会上立足的技能。这个与孩子的未来生活密切相关,而选项C:Actually you are taking a critical step in empowering them for their future.事实上你正采取的是关键的一步,帮助孩子为他们的将来赋能。为他们的将来赋能不就是培养孩子的责任感让他们在将来走向社会时可以立足吗?由此可以推出答案为C选项。故选C。
