五．阅读表达

阅读短文 根据要求完成文后的题目

For as long as we can remember, one of the most popular ways parents use to punish their children has been the“time out”

It seems that it is a good idea: the child sits on his own to reflect(反思)on what he has done.Then,when the time is up,he will apologize and learn from the mistake.

However, just because it’s something that’s been done for years that doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do.In fact,very often,children don’t sit nicely and think about what they’ve done. Instead,they need to be told a few(or many times )to go back to their places and stay quiet. They’re not reflecting on why they are in the “time out” at all. More likely than not, they’re probably just really angry, and so are the parents.In the end, both the parents and the children make each other unhappy, or even angrier.

What can parents do to change this situation?  It ‘s believed that trust and love should be built between parents and children. So,instead of starting a “time out”,try something called“time in”. A“time in” needs both parent and child to stay close until both get calm.After that,the parent and child can discuss what happened and solve the problem together. If the child can make changes, everyone can then move on.

As we all know, punishment and violence(暴力)seldom work and will never teach the children what the right way to act is. A“time in” can be the great time for the children to learn through mistakes.Kids learn how to build their emotional and social skills through difficult situations.So, instead of punishing them for acting their age, we can use chances to teach and guide them to a place of learning.

A “time in" may take more time, but it does work.

1.What is the mast popular way parents use to punish their children? (No more than 2)

2. In the writer's opinion, what should parents do when a child has done something wrong (No more than 11words)

3. What are the advantages( of " time in" ? No than 13 words)

5. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题
