How to teach a child to respect

As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart (传授) all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult.    1.   A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well. Here are some instructions.

Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

   2.   The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

Agree to disagree.    3.   Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn’t equate to disobedience (违抗).

Control your impulse (冲动) to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behaviour.    4.___  

Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough.   5.___

A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.

B. Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you.

C. Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D. If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

E. A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.

F. When you see your child exhibit respectful behaviour, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.

G. Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是如何教育我们的孩子学会尊敬他人，给出了一些具体的建议。

1.可知，这里讨论的都是尊敬在生活中的重要作用。故C项符合上下文。

2. 考查上下文的理解判断能力。根据下句The more you say “please” and “thank you”可知，这里的“please” and “thank you”都是一些礼貌的表示尊敬的用语。故A符合上下文。

3.，也就是说要学会接受孩子的反对。B项内容“孩子不会总是同意你的意见”与之吻合。

4. 考查上下文的理解判断能力。根据前句keep in mind that you are supposed to be modelling correct behaviour可知，你的一些好的行为也许会被模仿，那么D项“如果我们发脾气，孩子看见了，他们以后也会模仿这样的行为”符合上下文。

5.“告诉孩子为他们感到自豪”符合上下文。

考点：考查对文章的内容和结构的整体理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。

【名师点睛】

在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。比如：这篇文章的第36小题， 根据前句中的become a responsible, respectful adult.以及横线后一句的A child who learns to respect说明这里讨论的都是尊敬在生活中的重要作用。故C项符合上下文。

另外，做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。比如：文章第40小题, 本段的中心思想是Praise, praise, praise!也就是说要表扬孩子的优秀之处，F项“告诉孩子为他们感到自豪”符合上下文。
