ASK LASKAS
YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS. SHE'S GOT ANSWERS
My children go to a primary school where they are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that a child might be hurt. Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this? Puzzled Dad
It can't if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which wishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little common sense and courage. Children need risk if they arc to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potential. Complain, loudly.
I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is. Plain Mom
You can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she docs, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful — even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa (健康美容中心). Let her try various looks until she's comfortable in her own skin.

1.A.细节理解题。根据这个父亲的陈述,“这个学校的学生不允许在操场上踢足球是因为学校怕他们可能会受伤”,从第一句话的“for fear that a child might be hurt”可得答案。
2.C.细节推理题。根据这个母亲的陈述,困扰她的是“她的十几岁的女儿每天在镜子前化妆一个小时”,所以,选择C项。
3.D.段落大意题。根据最后一段,概括出解决这个母亲问题的方法就是“让她的女儿自己感觉到自然状态的她是最美的,而不是靠化妆才美丽的”。
