安顺市第一高级中学2015-2016学年度上学期高三年级第五次周考 英 语分数120分，时间90分钟第Ⅰ卷（共52分） 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分22分）第一节 （共6小题；每小题2分，满分12分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项A All parents have sky-high hopes for their children. We want them to be confident and content. What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy lives? Experts advise: 1. Helping them find their talents. In order to succeed, children need to feel they're good at something. So expose your children to as many interests as possible, then let them choose those they like best.      2. Applauding their achievements. A study found that students whose parents paid attention to their abilities were far more likely to do well in school and in life than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small they are.       3. Praising their efforts. Kids won't always come out on top. Still, they deserve kudos （赞誉） for trying their best. Ten- year- old April Cutler,  for example,  has had trouble with math since second grade. “She usually gets C's on her report card, but last year she was determined to get A's and worked hard at it," says her mom. "When the first grading period ended, April was disappointed when she got a B minus m math," Lueille continues. "But my husband and I told her we were very proud that she'd improved. That inspired her to try even harder. She got a B plus for the next period!"  4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes. Making his/her own decisions increases a child- s sense of control and builds his/her self-esteem （自尊心）. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions ----so long as doing so won't harm them ----helps kids learn from their mistakes.   5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is blaming her, step back and let them work it out.1. What is the purpose of the passage?   A.
