【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 see an unreasonable child lying on the ground drumming his heels. Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a wellbehaved kid is really a headscratching thing. If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit (因紐特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Don39。t shout or yell at small children. Inuit39。s noyelling policy is their central ponent to raising coolheaded kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents39。 buttons. Playful storytelling is another trick to sculpting kids39。 behavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents retell what happened when a boy threw a tantrum(發(fā)脾氣)by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well: putting on a drama. After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: Can you show us how to throw a tantrum? Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a followup question with a playful tone. For example: Does that seem right? or Are you a baby? She is getting across the idea that big boys won39。t throw a tantrum. Kids39。 brains are still developing the circuitry needed for selfcontrol. What you do in response to your children39。s emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit39。s storytelling approach. And don39。t forget to keep cool. After all, boys will be boys.（1）Which of the following best explains pushing parents39。 buttons underlined in Paragraph 2?

They are surrounded by thesea, so it is not surprising that the sea has always played an important role intheir lives. After the development of large, ocean173。going sailing ships in the fifteenthcentury, the sea became even more important to the country39。s development. Shipssetting sail from England determined to extend Britain39。s territories, its wealthand its knowledge of the world. Ships returned to England bringing goods, peopleand new ideas from foreign places. By the nineteenth century, Britain had the largest,most powerful navy in the world. The great sailing ships were so much a part of British life thatthey even affected the language. Many English expressions we use today were originallynautical (航海的)terms, although most people no longer realize this. For example, people monlydescribe an honest and fair business deal as being above board. Thisexpression was originally used in sailing ship times when secretive, dishonest ship39。sbusiness would be carried out below decks (below the boards) out of public the other hand, honest business was always conducted on deck (above the boards),in the open where everyone could see what was going on. Pipe down!, meaning Be quiet!, is anothermon expression that has nautical origins. The ship39。s boatswain (水手長(zhǎng)) would blow a whistle, or pipe, at theend of the day to indicate (表明) to the sailors it was time to quieten down and go to sleep. Most native English speakers have heard the expression notenough room to swing a cat, but few know that the cat does notrefer to a small furry animal with four legs and a tail. The cat isactually a short form of cat of nine tails — a whip with nine, knotted(打結(jié)的) tails. A boatswain needed a lot of spacein order to swing the whip properly when lashing (鞭打) a poor sailor under his control!（1）The British have been strongly influenced by the sea because ________.
