【题目】短文改错
When I was a very young children, my father created a regular practice I remember well years late. Every time he arrived home at end of the day ,we'd greet her at the door. He would ask who we was and pretend not to knowing us. Then he and my mother would have had a drink while she prepared dinner and they would talk about his day and hers. While they chat, my father would lift my sister and me up to sit in the top of the fridge. It was both excited and frightening to be up there！My sister and I thought he was so cool for putting us there.
【答案】
【1】children改为child
【2】late改为later
【3】at后加the
【4】her改为him
【5】was改为were
【6】knowing改为know
【7】去掉had
【8】chat改为chatted
【9】in改为on
【10】excited改为exciting
【解析】
试题分析：作者回忆了儿时父亲回家时的一种习惯做法及当时的感受。
【1】children改为child.考查名词单复数。因为前面有不定冠词a，所以这里用单数。故children改成child.
【2】late改为later.考查副词。late是形容词“迟的”，或副词“迟地”，但是“一段时间后面应该接later”，表示“……时间以后”。故late改成later.
【3】at后加the.考查冠词。at the end of“在…结束时”是固定短语，故at后加the.
【4】her改为him.考查代词。根据上文可知我们每天在门口迎接爸爸。用him指代my father，作greet的宾语。故her改成him.
【5】was改为were. 考查主谓一致。这句话的主语是we，谓语用复数，而且这篇文章是作者回忆小时候的事情，用一般过去时。故was改成were.
【6】knowing改为know. 考查动词不定式。pretend后面接不定式作宾语，这里是否定式pretend not to do，故knowing改成know.
【7】去掉had. 考查动词形式。句意：他和我妈妈会喝一些东西。此处不是虚拟语气不用would have done，用would do表示过去常常做。故去掉had.
【8】chat改为chatted.考查动词时态。根据主句内容my father would lift my sister 可知while引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时。故chat改成chatted.
【9】in改为on. 考查介词。on the top of…为固定搭配，意为“在……顶部”。故in改成on.
【10】excited改为exciting. 考查形容词。excited“兴奋的”主语是人；exciting“令人兴奋的”主语是物。这句话的主语是形式主语it，真正的主语是to be up there，主语是物的时候，表语应该用现在分词形式的形容词。故excited改成exciting.

The emotional bond a child secures with its parents has a greater impact on its education than previously thought, a report suggests. The Sutton Trust study says children’s early attachment to parents has far-reaching consequences for their ability to speak, learn and think. Parents who are insecure themselves find it harder to provide children with security, it says. And the report calls for more help so parents can develop such crucial bonds. The study focuses on the application of the theory of attachment—a key theory in child developement and psychology. This says the degree to which children are secure and resilient as they grow up depends on their own early experiences with their mothers and fathers and how they have bonded.
The report from the Sutton Trust education charity, entitled Baby Bonds, makes the case that it has an important impact on children’s future educational chances as well as their emotional well-being. It is based on an analysis of more than 100 studies on the issue, including home visits and assessments and observations of children in a range of countries. The trust argues that although psychologists have been aware of attachment theory, it has not been seen by policy makers as a key influence on educational attainment. And it asks them to take this into account. The report says when babies and toddlers do not form these strong parental bonds—known as secure attachment—they are more likely to exhibit poor language and poor behavior before they reach school.
And it cites international studies which suggest this continues late into life, with insecure children more likely to leave school early or duck out of employment or training. They are also more likely to suffer from aggression, defiance and hyperactivity later in life.
The Sutton Trust says its analysis of the research suggests that about 40% of children in the UK lack a secure attachment with their parents. Lead author Sophie Moullin said that when her team looked at large scale representative studies in a number of countries they all found, from their observations, that between 38% and 42% of children suffered from poor attachment in all the different study locations. She added: “Secure attachment really helps children with emotional and social development and at school it really helps them to manage their behavior. Shouting, looking out of the window, hitting each other…These are the things that teachers will tell you that are stopping children from learning. It’s really only as we understand more about these behavior problems that we have decided that a lot of it goes back to this early bonding with parents. ”
Research director at the trust Conor Ryan said: “Better bonding between parents and babies could lead to more social mobility, as there is such a clear link to education, behavior and future employment. The educational divide emerges early in life, with a 19—month school readiness gap between the most and least advantaged children by the age of five.
This report clearly identifies the fundamental role secure attachment could have in narrowing that school readiness gap and improving children’s life chances. “More support from health visitors, children’s centers together with local authorities in helping parents improve how they bond with young children could play a role in narrowing the education gap. ”
