How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.
Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day—especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.
Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.
You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.
Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.
When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts.
Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist,

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国的传统文化艺术之一——年画的用途、起源和分类。
1.known 考查非谓语动词。分句间无连词且已有谓语动词are,故此处应用非谓语动词。be known as “作为……而知名”,故填known,为过去分词在句中作状语。
2.a 考查冠词。年画是中国民间文化中的一种独特的艺术形式。此处表示泛指,故填不定冠词,且unique的发音不是以元音音素开头的,故用a。
3.mostly 考查词性转换。因为它们通常都在春节期间被张贴,作为装饰画。修饰谓语动词用副词。mostly “通常,多半,大部
分”。
4.for 考查介词。此处表示目的,故用介词for。
5.appeared 考查动词的时态。年画大约起源于唐代,表示过去发生的动作,故使用一般过去时。
6.featuring 考查非谓语动词。此处表述代替先前的以神为特色的门画。分析句子结构可知,空处作定语修饰door pictures。door
pictures与feature之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故填动词的-ing形式作定语,feature在此是动词,意为“以……为特色”。
7.diverse 考查词性转换。本句为系表结构,作表语应用形容词。diverse
8
“多种多样的”。
8.when 考查定语从句的引导词。年画在明清时期走向成熟,达到鼎盛。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,且从句中缺少时间状语,故填when。
9.methods 考查名词的数。从后文可知,年画的制作工艺有很多种,故填method的复数形式。
10.are 考查动词时态和主谓一致。木版年画最为盛行,也最有趣。由主语paintings可知,谓语动词应使用复数。且此处是对客观情况的陈述,应用一般现在时。
***完形填空。
Ten years ago,a doctor told me something was wrong with my lung and I had to give up work at once and went to bed.I was totally __1__ and felt I was suddenly placed under __2__ of death with an indefinite reprieve(缓刑).After careful thought,I __3__ my affairs;then I went home and got into bed.But 2 years later,I left my bed and __4__ the long climb back.It was another year __5__ I made it.
I speak of this experience because these past years have __6__ me what to value and what to believe.I __7__ now that this world is not my oyster(牡蛎)to be opened but my __8__ to be grasped.

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一场重病让作者明白了什么是人生中最重要的东西。因此他对自己当下所拥有的倍加珍惜,并心存感激。
1.B 根据上文中的“Ten years ago, a doctor told me something was wrong with my lung and I had to give up work at once and went to bed”可知,当被告知自己的肺部出了问题且不得不立即放弃工作卧床休息时作者感到非常震惊(shocked)。confused“困惑的”; annoyed“恼怒的”。
2.C 作者突然觉得自己好像是被判了死缓一样。根据语境尤其是下文的“with an indefinite reprieve(缓刑)”可知,此处应选sentence“宣判,判刑”。under sentence of death“被判处死刑”。
3.D 仔细思考之后,作者把手头的事务处理掉,然后回家了。根据上文中的“I had to give up work at once and went to bed”可知,clear up“解决,清理”符合语境。make up“组成,编造”;set up“设立”;take up“开始从事,占据”。
4.B 两年后,作者离开了病床,开始(began)了漫长的重回之前的生活状态的“攀登”。recall“回忆起”;avoid“避免”;accept“接受”。
5.D 过了一年,作者就做到了。It was/is+一段时间+before...是固定句型,意为“过了……才/就……”。
6.B 作者谈及这段经历是因为那些过去的岁月教会(taught)了作者应该珍惜什么,相信什么。assign“分配,分派”;treat“招待”;assure“使确信”。
7.D 现在作者意识到(realize)这个世界不是等待他去打开的牡蛎,而是需要他去抓住的机会。admit“承认”;expect“期待,期望”。
8.B 参见上题解析。grasp the opportunity“抓住机会”,是固定搭配。knowledge“知识”;attention“注意力”;point“观点”。
9.D 作者也学会了欣赏(appreciate)那些不起眼的但却很重要的东西,而作者之前从未想过自己会去注意这些东西。dismiss“不予理会,不予考虑”;list“列举”; define“给……下定义,解释”。
10. A 参见上题解析。notice“注意到”;record“记录”;remember“记得”;track“跟踪”。
11.C 根据上文中的“the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree”和下文中的“I seem now…to hear and see”可知,此处指的应是作者以前不会注意到的东西。play“轻快变幻的动作,闪烁”,the play of sunlight on water“阳光在水面上的闪烁”。
12.B 作者重新找回了童年时期看待事物的新鲜感。recovered“重新获得的,重新找到的”,符合语境。
13.C 比如,回想起自己卧床两年后重新踏上这片土地的感觉有多好。for
8
instance“比如,例如”,符合语境。in contrast“相反”;in return“作为回报”;by chance“偶然地”。
14.B 这就像在一个差点失去的世界中重新获得公民身份一样。regain“重新得到”和下文的“lost”相对应。maintain“维持”;discover“发现”;forget“忘记”。
15.A 作者经常提醒自己要记下这个自己现在生活的时刻,因为活在此刻,作者是健康且快乐的,而且能做自己最喜欢做的事情。remind“提醒”,符合语境。promise“许诺,允诺”;convince“使相信”。
16.B 参见上题解析。moment“时刻”;inspiration“灵感”。
17.A 参见第15题解析。pleased“快乐的,高兴的”;courageous“勇敢的”;confident“自信的”;strong“坚强的”。下文中的“I'm wiser now,a little,and happier”亦是提示。
18.D 它不会总是如这般存在,因此作者会充分利用它并心存感激。上下文之间是因果关系,故用therefore。meanwhile“与此同时”;otherwise“否则”;however“然而”。
19.B 作者将这一切都归功于他卧病在床的那段漫长时光。owe...to...“把……归功于……”,是固定用法。
20.A 更有智慧的人无需被困到如此境地也能明白这些道理。awareness“意识,明白”符合语境。compromise“妥协”。

难项分析:
第一处:what→that'考查名词性从句的连接词。宾语从句成分和意义完整,故用that引导。
第二处:it→one'考查代词。此处指代前文提到的a book,表示泛指概念,属同类指代,因此用one;it指同一个物品。
第四处:only后加does'考查倒装句。not only放在句首时,其后分句使用部分倒装。文章基本时态为一般现在时,故需要not only后添加助动词does构成部分倒装。
