27、All parents know that one of their most important tasks is to prepare their children for an independent life, but any parent can tell you that it’s hard to let go of your children. That balance between keeping your children safe and allowing them to learn from their own mistakes can be heartbreaking. Years of experience means that parents often do know best, but on the other hand, the young, being less bound by tradition, are often more creative, more able to find new solutions to old problems. Revolutions are led by the young.
Good teachers make the growth of critical thinking easier in their students, only to find that this can lead to a questioning of the teachers’ basic beliefs. Schools encourage. parents to become involved, but are often embarrassed when parents have reservation about some of the educational methods being used. Governments encourage unimportant groups to empower themselves in order to participate fully in the development process. And they are often surprised when the new leaders of these groups turn around and attack the policies of that same government. The rebellious(叛逆的) young and the newly unimportant groups are important in social development. They are not necessarily representatives of those they want to represent or not realistic in their demands, but their voices must be heard.
Good parents know that just forbidding particular behaviors does not prevent their children from finding ways to engage in these forbidden activities. Indeed, sometimes the forbidden fruit is more inviting, just because it is not accepted by authority. Parents must work with their children to educate them on the facts, know as much as possible about the lives of their children, provide a good example, encourage more wholesome activities but also support their children when they don’t follow what is expected of them. But the most important point is that they also need to learn how to let go.
【1】By saying “Revolutions are led by the young”, the author indicates that young people are more ________.
A.conventional
B.realistic
C.creative
D.heartbreaking
【2】From the second paragraph we know ________.
A.teachers’ basic beliefs should be questioned by students
B.schools encourage parents to question their education methods
C.movement is satisfied with the new leaders’ attack on the policies
D.the voice of the rebellious young should be heard by the government
【3】In order to educate children well, parents should ________.
A.forbid particular behaviors in their daily life
B.know them well and set a good example to them
C.educate them with facts and expect much of them
D.know as much as possible as their children
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Letting Go—for Children’s Independent life
B.Parents’ Tasks—in Children’s Development
C.Way of Growth—for the Young Groups
D.Teaching Methods—for Teachers and Schools

29、A child plays many roles, such as friend, neighbor, son or daughter. Simply reminding children of that fact can lead to better problem-solving and more flexible (灵活的) thinking, finds a new research from Duke University.
“This is some of the first research on reminding kids about their many roles said lead author Sarah Gaither, a professor at Duke. “Such reminders improve their problem-solving skills and how flexibly they see their social worlds.”
In one experiment, Gaither and her workmates looked at 196 children, aged 6 and 7. All were native English speakers. The first group of children was reminded of their various identities, such as son, daughter, reader or helper. A second group of children was reminded of their many physical features. The rest of the children were reminded of other children’s many roles, not their own.
All the children solved many tasks. The first group of children showed stronger problem-solving and creative thinking skills. For example, when shown pictures of a bear looking at a honey-filled beehive (蜂巢) high up in a tree, these children had more creative ideas for how the bear might get the honey, such as turning over a bowl as a seat.
The second group of children also showed more flexible thinking about social groupings. When asked to group different photos of faces, they suggested many ways to do so. For example, they identified smiling faces VS unsmiling ones, and old VS young faces. The other children mainly grouped people’s faces by race and gender.
“We often only think about ourselves in connection with one important group at a time,” said Christopher Marlowe, a schoolmaster in Durham, North Carolina. “When we remind kids that they have various identities, they think more and remember that there are many other groups. They are more open-minded.”
【1】Who is Sarah Gaither?
A.A reader.
B.A professor.
C.A reporter.
D.A schoolmaster.
【2】What can we learn from the experiment?
A.The research was intended for people of all ages.
B.The first group was reminded of various identities.
C.Children in the second group are the most creative.
D.All tasks were solved by the other children.
【3】Why are photos of a bear talked about in Paragraph 4?
A.To remind children of childhood.
B.To make children more creative.
C.To show the result of the research.
D.To inform children of wildlife protection.
【4】What’s Christopher’s attitude to the new research?
A.Critical.
B.Unclear.
C.Doubtful.
D.Positive.
