24、

There are many lawnmower parents（割草机父母）in the world. These parents prevent their kids from facing any kind of difficulty. Here are three signs you are a lawnmower parent.

1. You discover coming problems for kids.

If you always tell your child a coming problem instead of letting him or her discover it, your child won’t learn to recognize a challenging situation before it happens. Being able to see it coming helps a child begin thinking it through. When kids hit an obstacle, parents should be available to walk and talk them through it. Leave space for the learning to happen.

2. You become their voice.

Having worked in early childhood education, I know it is good for children to use their words. They develop confidence. I often see a parent answering a question that was asked to the child. But being able to hold good talks improves your child’s interpersonal skills. That will also help kids make more friends. When parents become the voice for their children, the children never develop problem-solving skills or learn how or where to ask for help or protect themselves.

3. ___________

Roger Lewin said, “Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.” Allow your children to develop the work discipline（纪律）they will need for life and to understand the results of not completing work on their own. Just allow your children to take in everyday tasks such as household chores and serving and cleaning up. This will help them get confidence, living skills, and good manners.

【1】The best sentence to fill in the blank is “________”.

A．You cook the food for them

B．You do the work for them

D．You help them to become independent

【2】According to the writer, parents should ________.

A．stop kids discovering problems

B．answer the questions for them

C．develop living skills for kids

D．let kids take in everyday tasks

【3】The passage is mainly written for ________.

A．parents

B．kids

C．teachers

D．students

【4】The best title for the passage is ________.

A．Lawnmower Parents in the World

B．Prevent Kids from Facing Problems

C．Three Signs You’re A Lawnmower Parent

D．Three Ways to Become A Lawnmower Parent

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to offer her help until the last possible moment. When the island had almost gone down, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”

Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you .” “Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time understands howvaluableLove is.”
