Question

Your daughter has finally reached the age of 18, and you think perhaps your job will finally get a little easier. That could be wrong thinking - as the parent of any 18-year-old will tell you.  Learning to cope with an ungrateful 18-year-old daughter takes patience, understanding and time.

_______ When she was a little girl, she wanted you to be involved（參和） in everything of her life from her daily activities to her friends. This is' no longer the case. She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life. Comment（評論） on her choices only when asked to do so - especially if you want to say no to her.

    Allow her to make mistakes. No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end. Unless（除非） you see a train coming, let her fall when she makes poor choices. It will enable her to grow past the ungrateful "know it all" stage.

    Encourage dialogue whenever you can, rather than planning talks. She's more likely to open up to you when talking over something trivial (瑣碎的). Anytime she wants to talk, become a willing listener in the conversation. You never know when a deeper, more important conversation will develop.

4.C

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章主要講述了父母應該怎么對付長大的女兒。需要給她自己的空間，允許她犯錯，多和她溝通交流，而不是找她談話。

1.詞意猜測題：聯(lián)系整個句子，意為：對付一個不領情的18歲的女兒需要耐心，理解和時間。Cope with對付，相當于deal with，故選D。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段后文She's a grown woman who needs her own personal life.她是個成年人了，需要她自己的私人生活。所以選擇B，給她需要的空間。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段描述No parent wants to see his or her child fall, but the days of protecting her all the time are at an end.沒有父母愿意看到孩子摔跤，但是保護他們的日子已經(jīng)結束了，所以選A,父母不可能時時刻刻保護孩子。

4.推理判斷題。結合文章內(nèi)容，主要講述了父母怎么對待孩子，所以文章是寫給父母的，選C。

考點：教育類短文閱讀。
