       Are your parents helicopters? That's a new term I read about. It describes parents who hover(原意指發(fā)飛機(jī)盤旋)  over their children. They worry about every little thing in their children's life: Are you
hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you feel cold? Do you need more books? .
       These parents love their children and want to make sure that everything in their life is perfect. Some
kids may find that annoying but others like being pampered. The pampered kids like the idea of being
waited on hand and foot. They like the idea of not having to make decisions.
       I don't think this is a good idea. I think it's important for kids to do things and make decisions by
themselves. This helps them grow up and become  responsible (負(fù)責(zé)任的 )  persons.
       How can you become responsible? It's easy: just start with little things. You can make your own
meals sometimes or help with cooking. You can also make your own bed and clean your room...
       Your parents are helicopters because they love you. So, tell them that you know it and that they
really shouldn't worry. Tell them they can land the helicopters because you are a responsible kid.
1. The parents become helicopters because _______ .        
A. they love their children too much, and hope their children's lives are perfect
B. they don't want their children to do anything except study
C. they have much free time to look after their children
D. they want to do everything for their children
2. If Mary's mother is a helicopter, what should Mary do according to the passage?        
A. Do everything without her mother's permission.
B. Argue with her mother and then say sorry to her mother.
C. Thank her mother for all that her mother has done for her.
D. Tell her mother that she understands and that her mother shouldn't worry.
3. The meaning of the underlined word is " _________" in Chinese.  
A. 關(guān)懷  
B. 歧視  
C. 嬌慣  
D. 鼓勵(lì)
4. How can children become responsible?         
A. Do as parents say.
B. Start with little things.
C. Let parents do everything.
D. Let others help them make decisions.
5. Which of the following is the best title?        
A. How to be perfect helicopters
B. Let your helicopters rest
C. Thanks for helicopters
D. The term of helicopters
