Question

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.

Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn't even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?

 This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting them.As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way.

I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine.We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.

Answer 1

【语篇解读】作者通过辅导孩子写作业的经历意识到用传统的教育方式约束孩子已不再适用，父母应该引导和帮助孩子找到适合他们自身的学习方法，培养独特个性，进而获得成功。

61．A　细节理解题。根据第二段前半部分中的“I kept asking him to sit down ，telling him that he should concentrate better”可知作者让他儿子坐下来是想让他更专心地学习。

62．B　推理判断题。结合第三段的内容可推断作者开始怀疑传统教育方式。

63．D　正误判断题。根据第四段中的“…and all you can do is loving and accepting them”可知父母应该关爱并接受他们的孩子。

64．A　推理判断题。第三段是对传统教育的质疑，第四段指出父母应该引导并帮助孩子发现适合他们自己的学习方式，最后一段提到作者不再要求孩子坐下专心学习，由此可推断作者改变了他的传统教育观念。

65．C　主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地提出了本文的主题，如果孩子得到了认同，就能学会自爱并用自己的方式取得成功，所以C项最能概括文章大意。
