• 2．For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue，N.Y.，today is speech day，and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn.The 8-year-old is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes，he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
     But he's，nervous. "I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…" Chris trips on the "-ld"，a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.His teacher，Thomas Whaley，is next to him，whispering support. "…Vote for …me …" Except for some stumbles，Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion，Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
     A son of immigrants，Chris started learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
     Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student， " Whaley explains，"especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say， 'I don't know，but I want to know.'"
     Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.
     "Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities，" Whaley says，"is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."

  A．Telling a story.

• 3．Move over，helicopter parents． "Snowplow （掃雪機(jī)） parents" are the newest reflection of an intensive （強(qiáng)化的） parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts，texting their college kids to wake them up so they don't sleep through a test，and even calling their kids' employers．
     Helicopter parenting，the practice of wandering anxiously near one's children，monitoring their every activity，is so 20th century．Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows：machines moving ahead，clearing any difficulties in their children's path to success，so they don't have to suffer failure，frustration （挫折） or lose opportunities．
     It starts early，when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them．It gets more intense when school starts：running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team．
     Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don't ever meet with failure，but it's not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting．This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children，regardless of income，education，or race．
     Yes，it's a parent's job to support the children，and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren't mature enough to do so．That's why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager's car keys until he finishes his college applications．
     But snowplow parents can take it too far，some experts say．If children have never faced a difficulty，what happens when they get into the real world？
     "Solving problems，taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills，" many child development experts say， "and if parents don't let their children experience failure，the children don't acquire them．"
  
  （1）What do we know about snowplow parenting？

  
  A．It appeared before helicopter parenting．
  B．It costs parents less than helicopter parenting．
  C．It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century．
  D．It provides more than enough services for children．
  （2）What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．Its cost．
  B．Its benefits．
  C．Its popularity．
  D．Its ending．
  （3）Why does the author mention parents' taking away car keys？

  
  A．To show teenagers are no better than babies．
  B．To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys．
  C．To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers．
  D．To show it's appropriate to help children when necessary．
  （4）What's the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts？

  
  A．Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality．
  B．Children mastering more key life skills than parents．
  C．Children gaining great success in every aspect of life．
  D．Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up．

     It was summer，and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before．He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West．
      We took a plane to Albuquerque，a big city in the state of New Mexico．We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon．Uncle Paul，my dad's friend，picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos．
      His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle．My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby．Very early in the morning，Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast．"The day starts at dawn on my farm，" he said．After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens，while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze（吃草）．I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses．They looked really cool．
      In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me．I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway．So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains． "Don't be late for supper，"Uncle Paul cried，" and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!" "OK!" my dad cried back．After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight．It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene．It looked like beautiful woven（編織的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us．
