【命题目的】本题考查对信息的捕捉和推理能力。
【解题要点】A项是事实,文中倒数第三句有原文表示。文中倒数第六句提到了“这位妇女在抽烟时会感到紧张,要连抽4根烟,因为害怕如果少抽几根,会给她的孩子带来灾难”,从原文可推测,这是因为她将自己抽的每一根烟看成自己孩子的安全的象征,漏了哪一个,就都会给哪个孩子带来灾难,这间接说明她有4个孩子,故B项也属实。根据倒数第五句“她喝了一杯咖啡,那她就一定要连喝到4杯咖啡”,C项符合原文意思。D项说她有4个儿子,文中只说她有4个孩子,不一定都是儿子。

How Can a Parent Help?
Mothers and fathers can do a lot to ensure a safe landing in early adulthood for their kids. E-ven if a job´ s starting salary seems too small to satisfy an emerging adult´ s need for rapid content,the transition from school to work can be less of a setback if the start-up adult is ready for the move. Here are a few measures, drawn from my book Ready or Not, Here Life Comes, that par-ents can take to prevent what I call "work-life unreadiness" :
(51)__________
You can start this process when they are 11 or 12. Periodically review their emerging strengths and weaknesses with them and work together on any shortcomings, like difficulty in communicating well or collaborating. Also, identify the kinds of interests they keep coming back to, as these offer clues to the careers that will fit them best.
(52)__________
Kids need a range of authentic role models--as opposed to members of their clique, pop stars and vaunted athletes. Have regular dinner-table discussions about people the family knows and how they got where they are. Discuss the joys and downsides of your own career and encourage your kids to form some ideas about their own future, When asked what they want to do, they should he discouraged from saying "I have no idea. " They can change.their minds 200 times,, but having on-ly a foggy view of the future is of little good.
(53)__________
Teachers are responsible for teaching kids how to learn; parents should be responsible for teaching them how to work. Assign responsibilities around the house and make sure homework deadlines are met. Encourage teenagers to take a part-time job. Kids need plenty of practice dela-ying gratification and deploying effective organizational skills, such as managing time and setting priorities.
(54)__________
Playing video games encourages immediate content. And hours of watching TV shows with canned laughter only teaches kids to process information in a passive way. At the same time, lis-tening through earphones to the same monotonous beats for long stretches encourages kids to stay inside their bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors. All these activities can prevent the growth of important communication and thinking skills and make it difficult for kids to develop the kind of sustained concentration they will need for most jobs.
(55)__________
Theyshould know how to deal with: setbacks, stresses and feelings of inadequacy. They should also learn how to solve problems and resolve conflicts, ways to brainstorm and think criti-cally. Discussions at home can help kids practice doing these things and help them apply these skills to everyday life situations.
What about the son or daughter who is grown but seems to be struggling and wandering aim-lessly through early adulthood? Parents still have a major role to play, but now it is more delicate.
They have to be careful not to come across as disappointed in their child. They should exhibit strong interest and respect for whatever currently interests their fledging adult (as naive or ill con-ceived as it may seem) while becoming a partner in exploring options for the future. Most of all,these new adults must feel that they are respected and supported by a family that appreciates them.
A.Set a Good Example for Your Kids
B.Build You Kids’Work Skills
C.Place Time Limits on Leisure Activities
D.Talk about the Future on a Regular Basis
E.Help Kids Develop Coping Strategies
F.Help Your Kids Figure out who They Are
G. Build Your Kids´ Sense of Responsibility
