阅读理解专项
A
Do you often communicate with your parents Some parents are always comparing their children with themselves or other people when they were young.
“When I was your age，” a father said to his sixteen year old son one day, “I was at the top of my class every year. And I knew what I wanted to do when I left school. I had goals. You are always at the bottom(最末位置) of your class because you have no goals.” The man's son said nothing. He had already heard this from his father many times. “And when your mother was your age，” the young man's father went on, “she had a good job and she made lots of money. You don't even have a part time job. You earn nothing.” The man's son still said nothing. He had heard this before, too. “And when your elder brother was your age，” the young man's father said, “he studied hard. But you just waste your time.” And the man's son still said nothing.
Finally, the young man's father said, “And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he worked all day and studied at night.” This time the son didn't stay silent. “And when Abraham Lincoln was your age, father，” he said, “he was President of the United States. What are you？” His father had no answer to this.

Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies all the time! It can be a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent(依赖的) on them!
In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care, their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents, these children will be in a big trouble!
It's nice that parents show their care to their children. It's nice that children know that their parents' care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.

It’s not an easy thing to speak out how we really feel sometimes. An English teacher from Fremont, California, thought of a creative way to help her students express(表达) their feelings.
Erin Castillo is a special education teacher. She made a “mental health checklist(心理健康调查表)” for her students. The checklist asks kids if they are “Great”, “OK”, “Meh”, “Struggling(挣扎)”, “Having a hard time” or “In a really dark place”. Each student needs to write his name on the back of the paper and put it in the section(部分) describing how he is feeling. If he puts it in the “Struggling” section, he knows he should talk with friends or parents. If he is “Having a hard time” or “In a really dark place”, Castillo goes to talk with him.
Also, Castillo made a table for “Coffee Time”. Students can sit at the table and work quietly and independently. They can listen to music, have a snack or just enjoy some “me time”.
“It is important for teachers to create(创造) a classroom where students feel safe to communicate with others,” Castillo said.
