Question

“A very disruptive (调皮捣蛋的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and unable to use the lavatory(卫生间) properly.

We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed (沉迷于) in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behaviour and sticking to those boundaries. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.

【解析】

试题分析: 文章的主要内容是小孩儿在学校里面的表现差，甚至有暴力的倾向。在学校有时候对老师造成了伤害，其中的一个原因是家庭原因，是受了他们父母的影响。在家里，他们没有得到应有的教育，他们不会和别人交往，很多的父母把约束控制孩子的责任推给了老师，他们缺少与孩子的沟通教育。孩子把大多数在家的时间花在了单独相处或者沉溺于电脑游戏上。这是造成孩子没有得到良好发展的原因。

1.D段落理解题。根据第一段“不管孩子的出生环境怎么样，也不管父母的财富和等级，每个孩子都有发展潜能的权力，我们已经意识到了这一点，但这种权利伴随而来的是学生应承担的责任，而我们却忽视了后者”，故选D。

2.A猜测句意题。根据下文，孩子们呆在自己的卧室里，沉溺于网络游戏，社交网站。同住一个屋檐下，孩子却不怎么和父母交流，父母无法监督孩子的行为，对孩子的关心太少。故选A。

3.C作者态度题。在文中作者列举了两个例子，一个父亲鼓励他的孩子在操场上去和别人打架。一对父母对一位老师训斥。由此可以看出作者对父母的表现是不满意的，故答案应为C。
