Sitting in his usual spt in the cmer is my grandfather. He lks up fr a quick "hell" befre heading back dwn t the crsswrd puzzle in frnt f him.
"S，hw is this ne cming alng？" I'll ask. With a failed laugh，he'll slide the crsswrd tward me. Carefully cut and neatly flded frm his newspaper，three﹣quarters f it will already have been finished. Many f the clues（线索）are far t advanced fr me t figure ut. Hwever，I'm happy t help with the strange clue related t sprts ﹣ my expert knwledge ﹣ that still remain.
Even if I'm certain f an answer，I fill in the squares with a pencil，as clues are always checked thrughly by my grandfather. In the rare event that we're unable t finish the crsswrd by the end f lunch，he'll call me later that evening t g ver the clues he later slved.

Passage 3．（2021•山东模拟）
Children whse fathers make time t play with them frm a very yung age may find it easier t cntrl their behavir and emtins as they grw up， research suggests.
The study， by academics in the University f Cambridge and the LEGO Fundatin， pulled tgether fragmentary（零碎的） evidence frm the past 40 years t understand mre abut hw fathers play with their children when they are very yung.
Althugh there are many similarities between fathers and mthers verall， the findings suggest that fathers engage in mre physical play even with the yungest children. This seems t help children learn t cntrl their feelings. Children wh enjyed high﹣quality playtime with their fathers were less likely t exhibit emtinal r behaviral prblems. They als appeared t be better at cntrlling their aggressin， and less likely t give ther children a sund beating during disagreements at schl.
The reasn fr this may be that the physical play fathers prefer is particularly well﹣suited fr develping these skills.
Paul Ramchandani， Prfessr f Play in Educatin， Develpment and Learning at the University f Cambridge，said，"It's imprtant nt t verstate the impact f father﹣child play as there are limits t what the research can tell us， but it des seem that children wh get a reasnable amunt f playtime with their father benefit as a grup."
Despite the benefits f father﹣child play， the authrs stress that children wh nly live with their mther need nt be at a disadvantage.
"One f the things that ur research pints t time and again is the need t vary the types f play children have access t， and mthers can， f curse， supprt physical play with yung children as well，" Paul Ramnchandani said， adding，"different parents may have sightly different inclinatins（倾向） when it cmes t playing with children， but part f being a parent is stepping utside yur cmfrt zne. Children are likely t benefit mst if they are given different ways t play and interact."
（1）Why are fathers advised t play mre with little children？
A. It can imprve their relatinship. B. It can spare mthers frm tiredness.
C. It makes fathers mre respnsible. D. It benefits children's emtinal health.
（2）What can we knw abut the impact f father﹣child play in Paragraph 5？
A. It is wrthy t be verstated. B. It shuld be viewed bjectively.
C. It has been widely recgnized. D. It's supprted by adequate evidence.
（3）What's Paul's attitude twards mther﹣child play？
A. Disapprving. B. Dubtful. C. Sympathetic. D. Supprtive.
（4）What can be a suitable title fr the text？
A. The Pleasure f Playing with Kids B. The Respnsibility f Being a Father
C. Father﹣child Play Benefits Children D. Play with Father r Play with Mther

Passage 2．（2021•郑州一模）

Sitting in his usual spt in the cmer is my grandfather. He lks up fr a quick "hell" befre heading back dwn t the crsswrd puzzle in frnt f him.
"S，hw is this ne cming alng？" I'll ask. With a failed laugh，he'll slide the crsswrd tward me. Carefully cut and neatly flded frm his newspaper，three﹣quarters f it will already have been finished. Many f the clues（线索）are far t advanced fr me t figure ut. Hwever，I'm happy t help with the strange clue related t sprts ﹣ my expert knwledge ﹣ that still remain.
Even if I'm certain f an answer，I fill in the squares with a pencil，as clues are always checked thrughly by my grandfather. In the rare event that we're unable t finish the crsswrd by the end f lunch，he'll call me later that evening t g ver the clues he later slved.
Tday，lunch unflds in its usual manner. Hwever，large parts f the puzzle are blanks "Grandfather，I think this is 49﹣dwn…and this，52﹣acrss，" I say.

Passage 3．（2021•山东模拟）
Children whse fathers make time t play with them frm a very yung age may find it easier t cntrl their behavir and emtins as they grw up， research suggests.
The study， by academics in the University f Cambridge and the LEGO Fundatin， pulled tgether fragmentary（零碎的） evidence frm the past 40 years t understand mre abut hw fathers play with their children when they are very yung.
Althugh there are many similarities between fathers and mthers verall， the findings suggest that fathers engage in mre physical play even with the yungest children. This seems t help children learn t cntrl their feelings. Children wh enjyed high﹣quality playtime with their fathers were less likely t exhibit emtinal r behaviral prblems. They als appeared t be better at cntrlling their aggressin， and less likely t give ther children a sund beating during disagreements at schl.
The reasn fr this may be that the physical play fathers prefer is particularly well﹣suited fr develping these skills.
Paul Ramchandani， Prfessr f Play in Educatin， Develpment and Learning at the University f Cambridge，said，"It's imprtant nt t verstate the impact f father﹣child play as there are limits t what the research can tell us， but it des seem that children wh get a reasnable amunt f playtime with their father benefit as a grup."
Despite the benefits f father﹣child play， the authrs stress that children wh nly live with their mther need nt be at a disadvantage.
"One f the things that ur research pints t time and again is the need t vary the types f play children have access t， and mthers can， f curse， supprt physical play with yung children as well，" Paul Ramnchandani said， adding，"different parents may have sightly different inclinatins（倾向） when it cmes t playing with children， but part f being a parent is stepping utside yur cmfrt zne. Children are likely t benefit mst if they are given different ways t play and interact."
（1）Why are fathers advised t play mre with little children？
A. It can imprve their relatinship. B. It can spare mthers frm tiredness.
C. It makes fathers mre respnsible. D. It benefits children's emtinal health.
（2）What can we knw abut the impact f father﹣child play in Paragraph 5？
A. It is wrthy t be verstated. B. It shuld be viewed bjectively.
C. It has been widely recgnized. D. It's supprted by adequate evidence.
（3）What's Paul's attitude twards mther﹣child play？
