My daughter told me shed heard something at school a news story about an airport and bombs and people getting killed. We talked a bit about the story shed heard, about how terrible things do happen sometimes, then I promised her that the airplane roaring above wasnt going to harm us.In todays culture with mass media, families are surrounded by stories of shootings, bombings and other violent news. Our kids wont fully understand these stories, but theyll be frightened just the same. As parents, we need to help them have the necessary facts to process these terrible events and a broader understanding to ease their fears.A childs world is pretty small, and kids may think that the terrible news events theyve heard about are just across town or right next door. They might ask if its safe to go to a mall, or as in the case with my daughter, if the airplane roaring overhead is going to attack. Depending on the terrible events, kids may also believe a number of inaccuracies that are spread at school or from conversations with friends. So correct whatever exaggerations (夸張) or inaccuracies they may have heard. One of the first things I talk about with my kids is simple geographic distance. We look at a map or globe and talk about where the terrible events happened and how far away it is from our home.Tell the truth, but dont describe information that will deepen fears. Your goal as a parent is to help your kids feel safe and learn how to handle stress. Children are comforted by the safety their parents provide, knowing that even if bad things happen, the family will get through it together. This creates what scientists call “tolerable (可忍受的) stress”語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是說(shuō)明文。本文介紹如何幫助孩子正確理解暴力新聞，消除孩子的恐懼。1Why was the authors daughter so frightened at the airplane?AThe plane flew very low.BShe never saw an airplane before.CThey live where a war is going on.DShe had heard some terrible news at school.解析：選D推理判斷題。分析第二段可知，由于女兒在學(xué)校聽(tīng)到一些關(guān)于飛機(jī)轟炸的消息，故看到飛機(jī)感到恐懼，以為飛機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)轟炸他們。2What does the author usually do first to reduce his kids fears?AComforting and calming the kids.BTeaching them geographic distance.CGiving them information of the events in detail.DCorrecting exaggerations and inaccuracies about the events.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段“One of the first things I talk about with my kids is simple geographic distance”可知，為了消除孩子的恐懼，作者首先讓他們對(duì)地理位置有清楚的了解。3What can we learn from Paragraph 4?AKids shouldnt talk about terrible events at school.BKids are most fearful of events happening nearby.CExaggerations and inaccuracies deepen kids fears.DKids have a correct idea of geographic distance.解析：選C推理判斷題。分析第四段可知，孩子的恐懼會(huì)由于對(duì)事件的夸張和不準(zhǔn)確信息而加劇。4What would be the best title for the text?AHow to keep kids safe in dangerous situationsBHow to help kids process news of violenceCWhat “tolerable stress” meansDWhy kids get fearful解析：選B標(biāo)題歸納題。綜合全文可知，本文主要介紹了如何幫助孩子正確理解和處理暴力新聞，消除他們的恐懼。BMore People Are Leaving the Rat Race for the Simple LifeTime is more precious than money for an increasing number of people who are choosing live more with less and liking it.Kay and Charles Giddens, two lawyers, sold their home to start a B & B hotel. Four years later, the couple dished out banana pancake breakfast, cleaned toilets and served homemade chocolate chip cookies to guests in a B & B hotel surrounded by trees on a hill known for colorful sunsets.“Do I miss the freeways? Do I miss the traffic? Do I miss the stress? No，” says Ms. Giddens, “This is a phenomenon thats fairly widespread. A lot of people are reevaluating their lives and figuring out what they want to do. If their base is being damaged, whats the payoff？”Simple living ranges from cutting down on weeknight activities to sharing housing, living closer to work, avoiding shopping malls, borrowing books from the library instead of buying them, and taking a cut in pay to work at a more pleasurable job.Vicki Robin, a writer, lives on a budget equal to a fifth of what she used to make. “You become conscious about where your money is going and how valuable it is，” Ms. Robin says, “You tend not to use things up. You cook at home rather than eat out .”Janet Luhrs, a lawyer, quit her job after giving birth and leaving her daughter with a nanny for two weeks. “It was not the way I wanted to raise my kids，” she says, “Simplicity is not just about saving money; its about me sitting down every night with my kids to a candlelit dinner with classical music.”Mrs. Luhrs now edits a magazine, Simple Living, which publishes tips on how to buy recycled furniture and shoes, organize potluck dinners instead of expensive receptions, and generally how to consume less.“Its not about poverty，” Mrs. Luhrs explains, “Its about conscious living and creating the life you want.
