Question

【題目】B

Having a bit of a temper tantrum(發(fā)脾氣), whether at home or in the classroom, is as harmful as you can get and only serves to discourage your teenagers.

What they really need at this stage in their lives are words that build them up according to their needs that it may benefit them-that is, words of encouragement, affirmation(肯定) and a good deal of praise. The benefits to them and us as parents and teachers are quite amazing-harmony, peace and love.

When I left my last school where I had been a casual(代課老師) for eight years, I received "thank you" notes from the students. I think these notes illustrate what teenagers want and need from their parents and teachers.

Some of the notes mention kindness, patience, thoughtfulness, encouragement and fun. Teenagers value these qualities and what I found was that the more I relaxed and enjoyed their company, the less I had to discipline them.

Below I've included a few excerpts from the notes to let the kids speak for themselves. These are teenagers speaking from the heart and show what, according to teenagers, they need and value.

Each note began, "Thank you for..."

making each student in the school happy

putting up with us every time you get us (i.e. having patience)

Always giving every student a chance and treating everyone like an adult giving lots

of merits and making every lesson fun and enjoyable

Being very kind & for giving me lots of (merit) stickers

You make working be fun

Being a patient and thoughtful teacher

Patience is needed as well as kindness, thoughtfulness, a sense of humor and fun and the ability to listen more than talk.

When we praise and value our teenagers, the results are nothing short of miraculous.

【解析】文章是一篇教育類的短文。短文主要關(guān)注的是青少年的需求。無論是在家里還是在學(xué)校，老師和家長都不應(yīng)該發(fā)脾氣。

【1】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“Having a bit of a temper tantrum(發(fā)脾氣)...is as harmful as you can get and only serves to discourage your teenagers.”可知，發(fā)脾氣對(duì)自己和孩子都是不好的。

【2】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段“What they really need at this stage in their lives are...words of encouragement, affirmation and a good deal of praise”可知，青少年需要的是鼓勵(lì)、肯定和表揚(yáng)的話語。

【3】A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“When I left my last school...I received "thank you" notes from the students.”可知，在作者離開的時(shí)候，他收到了來自學(xué)生們的感謝信。

【4】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)“These are teenagers speaking from the heart and show what, according to teenagers, they need and value...When we praise and value our teenagers, the results are nothing short of miraculous.”可知，作者想通過列舉感謝信的內(nèi)容來告訴其他老師和家長們青少年真正需要的是什么。

【5】C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)感謝信的內(nèi)容“Being very kind...You make working be fun...Being a patient and thoughtful teacher”和倒數(shù)第二段“Patience is needed as well as kindness, thoughtfulness, a sense of humor...”可知，作者是一個(gè)有耐心、友善、幽默的老師。
