高考英语阅读理解训练题（
24
）附答案


Most
recently,
it's
very
common
in
students
who
need
a
parent
present
for
job
interviews
．
Naturally,
it's
easy
to
blame
the
students
in
these
situations,
but
the
bigger problem is us
．
We
—
as parents
—
are so eager to shelter our kids
that
we fail
to realize that this in itself is harming them
．
As the mother of two young sons, I
have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent
is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me
．
So, I'll
let them fail
．

I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort
zones,
they
will
never
grow
．
And
failure
—

along
with
loss,
heartbreak,
disappointment,
etc
．—

will
be
part
of
growth
for
them
．
Call
me
the
anti-tiger
mom,
but
leaving
them
alone, is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it
today
．
From terrorism and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt
and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems
of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish
．

My children now
are
becoming
little masters
of compromise, but they
try
to negotiate
（协商）
everything now
．
It's a small price to help them learn a skill they'll use
for
the
rest
of
their
lives,
including
when
I
don't
accompany
them
on
job
interviews
．

B

A
．
Sheltering them
．
B
．
Keeping them safe
．

C
．

．

to
the
anxiety
people
show
when
they
have
to
stay
or
perform
on
social
events,

speaking
in front of the class. Lastly, there are a wide range of specific phobias. People

worse,
so
that
it
may
disturb
the
sleep
pattern,
cause
physical
symptoms,
and
finally
affect
their
daily
activities.
As
for
treatment,
clinical
research
has
discovered
that
medicine
for
anxiety
is
not
successful
in
curing
phobias.
However.
the
anxiety
disorders
can
be
efficiently
treated
through
cognitive
behavioral therapy (
认知行为疗法
), through which patients are led to inspect the

choose
the
acceptable
treatments.
Also,
other
treatments
proved
effective
in
reducing
phobias
are
Meditation(quiet
thought
that
can
help
people
relax),
listening
to
calming
music, and so on.
