If you thought helicopter parents were too much, wait till you learn about “lawnmower (割草机) parents”. These are the next generation of helicopter parents, who take over-parenting to the next level. Rather than staying overhead in the air, these parents actively prepare the way for their children to succeed, cushioning every bump along the way.

Their goal is to create a soft, even surface onto which their child will proceed, free from harm and worry. They get involved before problems reach their child, sometimes even going to immoral lengths, such as writing college papers for a child who’s running out of time.

One teacher told the Irish Times: “These days you would often hear from a mother or father insisting their child be put in the top math class, for example. Self-esteem (respect) is the buzzword (popular word). They feel it would harm their child’s confidence. The irony is their self-esteem would be damaged far more by sending them into a class where they can’t catch up with others.

It’s not children who are out of control. It’s parents. There will come a point when these children won’t have parents on which to depend, and then how are they going to function? It’s frightening, too, to imagine these children becoming adults and attempting to raise families of their own. They would hardly be capable of teaching independence, confidence, work ethic, and discipline to their own children if they’ve never learned it themselves.

At the end of the TIME article, Gibbs shared a wonderful quote from writer D.H. Lawrence, written in 1918: “How to begin to educate a child. First rule: leave him alone. Second rule: leave him alone. Third rule: leave him alone. That is the whole beginning.

1.Which of the following would the author agree with about “Lawnmower parents”?

A. They are children of helicopter parents.

B. They always stay over their children’s head in the air.

C. They want to win over helicopter parents.

D. They do much more for children than helicopter parents.

2.According to the teacher mentioned in the text, what does the underlined it in Para 3 refer to?

A. That children belong to the ordinary class.

B. That children are put in the top maths class.

C. That children can’t catch up with the class.

D. That children don’t do well as expected.

3.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A. Letting children be is the last thing to do in education.

B. We must allow children enough freedom in their development.

C. Gibbs must have been an expert in children education.

D. There is no definite answer to how to educate a child.

4.What’s the author’s attitude toward the children with “Lawnmower parents”?

A. Very appreciative.    B. Quite surprised.

C. Much worried.    D. A little disappointed.

 

1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 【解析】作者在文中分析了割草机父母的行为及对孩子的不良影响,对这种教育方式深表担忧。 1.D 推理判断题。根据第一段These are the next generation of helicopter parents, who take over-parenting to the next level.和 these parents actively prepare the way for their children to succeed, cushioning every bump along the way.可知割草机父母比直升机父母为孩子做得更多,为孩子扫平一路的所有障碍。故选D. 2.A 猜测词义题。此处指许多父母坚持让孩子上顶级数学班,对孩子来说自尊很重要,如果不去顶级班会伤害孩子的信心。it指不去顶级班去普通班,故选A. 3.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段writer D.H.

It’s parents. 作者认为是父母失控不是孩子;There will come a point when these children won’t have parents on which to depend, and then how are they going to function? It’s frightening, too, to imagine these children becoming adults and attempting to raise families of their own.这样做后果很可怕;They would hardly be capable of teaching independence, confidence, work ethic, and discipline to their own children if they’ve never learned it themselves.这些孩子长大后会没有独立性、自信、职业道德和自律性。根据以上内容可知作者对割草机父母培养出来的孩子非常担忧,故选C. 【名师点睛】 推理判断题属于主观题,是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上,做出判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思,也就是通过文章中的文字信息,上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息,推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。 本文主要考查推测文章的观点或结论。如小题1要求推断割草机父母的特点,根据第一段These are the next generation of helicopter parents, who take over-parenting to the next level.和 these parents actively prepare the way for their children to succeed, cushioning every bump along the way.可知割草机父母比直升机父母为孩子做得更多,为孩子扫平一路的所有障碍。小题3考查最后一段得出的观点,根据最后一段writer D.H. Lawrence关于教育的名言First rule: leave him alone. Second rule: leave him alone. Third rule: leave him alone.可知在教育孩子过程中要给孩子足够的自由,来促进其发展。小题4要求推断作者对割草机父母培养出来的孩子的态度,第四段It’s not children who are out of control. It’s parents. 作者认为是父母失控不是孩子;There will come a point when these children won’t have parents on which to depend, and then how are they going to function?

When I started teaching at school, I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.

Although my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching , there was a small group of girls who became more and more hostile towards me.

One day a fight happened in my classroom. Trying to end it, I stepped in to face one of these hostile young women, who started hitting me in the face. Two boys jumped up to control the girl, but the damage was done.

While the girl was suspended for a few days, I was determined that she would not return to my classroom. But I also prayed. I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.

On the top of my daily lesson-plan book, I wrote this statement, “To see all the children in my classroom is always beautiful.” With this view I could expect to heal any anger towards the girl in my heart.

After her suspension, she returned to my classroom. The student’s young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war. The mother and I agreed to work together to help her oldest daughter.

There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year. In fact, In the seven years I remained at that school, I taught all six of this family’s children. When the youngest was in my class, the mother told me, “Our family love you. Every year one of my kids says, ‘I hope I’m in her class!’”

The standard of seeing each of my students as a perfect one was the best teaching tool I had, and led to success.
