【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 5% of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying. But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted, causing tempers to flare. Instead, they say, parents should get objective outsiders, like principals, to mediate. Meanwhile, if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child39。s bullying, listen without getting defensive. That39。s what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley, California, did when a caller told her that her then 13yearold son had spit in another boy39。s son had confessed, but the victim39。s mom “wanted to make sure my son hadn39。t given her son a nasty disease,” says McHugh, who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases. She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote, but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh39。s son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously. McHugh, founder of Parents Coach Kids, a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results. All were negative. Remember: once you make a call, you might not like what you hear. If you have an itchy dialing finger, resist temptation. Put it in your pocket. ［419 words］ word “bullying” probably means______. ［A］ frightening and hurting ［B］ teasing ［C］ behaving like a tyrant ［D］ laughing at 2.

My child is a little angel 體現(xiàn)了欺負人的孩子的家長對此問題的態(tài)度。 [b第二、三段為第二部分，解釋現(xiàn)象：打電話投訴的方式對解決孩子之間的沖突起不了作用。 第二段：引用了兩類研究結(jié)果。一類研究結(jié)果表明：仗勢欺人現(xiàn)象在增多而家長管教卻在減少（bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline）。另一類研究結(jié)果表明：①家長的投訴電話毫無用處（more futile than ever）；②這種電話常導(dǎo)致相互指責(zé)（lead to recriminations）；③達不到教育孩子的目的（not teach our kids any lessons）。 第三段：引用心理學(xué)家 Laura Kavesh 的觀點指出，一方面，受欺負的孩子的家長打電話的目的是希望對方家長幫助其孩子改掉壞毛?。╡xtract the cruelty）；另一方面，接到電話的家長卻很少相信（blow away）自己的孩子會欺負別人。作者進而用警察局調(diào)查結(jié)果的數(shù)據(jù)（89% students engaged in bullying，18% parents thought children bully）支持Laura的觀點。 第四、五、六段為第三部分，解決問題：建議家長雙方正確對待這一問題。 第四段：提出了第一種解決方法，即希望通過客觀的局外人（objective outsider）來調(diào)解（mediate），而不是當(dāng)事人雙方直接聯(lián)系。 第五段：提出了第二種解決方法，即家長學(xué)會耐心傾聽（listen without getting defensive）。列舉了“父母教導(dǎo)孩子組織”的創(chuàng)始人 Laura McHugh處理問題的實例進而教育家長該怎么做：①認真傾聽；②積極處理；③通過嚴肅處理事情借以教育孩子，這與第二段末句中“don t really teach our kids any lessons”對應(yīng)起來了。 第六段：呼應(yīng)開始部分，用警句的形式，告誡家長不要采取打電話投訴這種解決方式。 試題命制分析 通過對文章的整體分析，我們可以從以下幾個方面命題，考查考生的閱讀理解能力。 1. 事實細節(jié)題 （1） 可以考查“打電話投訴”這種行為的結(jié)果，參見試題2。 （2）
