Unit 4 Pygmalion*阅读理解。How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available. Even as kids get older, quality time is important. Its really hard for some people to e home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their dayespecially if theyve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they re important to you. Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can e up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal. You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctors appointment is ing up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably wont need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress. Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that its OK to feel angry, scared, lonely or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too. When kids cant or wont discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that youre willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when theyre ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts. Most parents have the skills to cope with their childrens stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 讲述的是如何帮助孩子处理压力的事情。1.

A参见上题解析。notice“注意到”；record“记录”；remember“记得”；track“跟踪”。11C根据上文中的“the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree”和下文中的“I seem nowto hear and see”可知，此处指的应是作者以前不会注意到的东西。play“轻快变幻的动作，闪烁”，the play of sunlight on water“阳光在水面上的闪烁”。12B作者重新找回了童年时期看待事物的新鲜感。recovered“重新获得的，重新找到的”，符合语境。13C比如，回想起自己卧床两年后重新踏上这片土地的感觉有多好。for instance“比如，例如”，符合语境。in contrast“相反”；in return“作为回报”；by chance“偶然地”。14B这就像在一个差点失去的世界中重新获得公民身份一样。regain“重新得到”和下文的“lost”相对应。maintain“维持”；discover“发现”；forget“忘记”。15A作者经常提醒自己要记下这个自己现在生活的时刻，因为活在此刻，作者是健康且快乐的，而且能做自己最喜欢做的事情。remind“提醒”，符合语境。promise“许诺，允诺”；convince“使相信”。16B参见上题解析。moment“时刻”；inspiration“灵感”。17A参见第15题解析。pleased“快乐的，高兴的”；courageous“勇敢的”；confident“自信的”；strong“坚强的”。下文中的“Im wiser now，a little，and happier”亦是提示。18D它不会总是如这般存在，因此作者会充分利用它并心存感激。上下文之间是因果关系，故用therefore。meanwhile“与此同时”；otherwise“否则”；however“然而”。19B作者将这一切都归功于他卧病在床的那段漫长时光。owe.to.“把归功于”，是固定用法。20A更有智慧的人无需被困到如此境地也能明白这些道理。awareness“意识，明白”符合语境。promise“妥协”。*短文改错。Dear Tom，Im Li Hua, a student of Rongguang Middle School.
