分析 本文以大树和小树来比方家长和孩子，如何教育孩子，就像短文中所说的，在大树和小树两棵树中间系一根绳子，用这根绳子去帮助小树长的直立，不断松开绳子来看一下小树是否能长直立，如果可以不用绳子了就可以把它去掉了，这就好比家长管教孩子一样的道理．
解答 5．B 归纳概括题．第一段They were standing in the old man's garden，talking about children．The young man said，"How strict should parents be withtheir children？"他们站在老人的园子里，谈论着孩子．年轻人说，"父母应该对孩子多严格呢？"第二段及第三段是老人巧妙地告诉年轻人这个问题的答案，因此应该选答案B．
6． C 细节理解题．根据题中untiedthe string，到文中去找信息源．第二段Theyoung man untied it，and the young tree bent over to one side．年轻人解开那根绳子，小树弯到一边去了．可知应该选答案C．
7．A细节理解题．由最后一段倒数第二句"There，it is the same with children．You must be strict with them，but sometimes you must untie the string to know how they are getting on．可知，如果孩子不能独立就应该严格要求他的孩子．故选A．
8．B 细节理解题．根据整篇课文的内容可知那棵大树相当于家长，小树相当于小孩，故选B．
