长难句分析
原句 But things were even harder fr Srikanth Blla wh was brn in a small village in India，where the cmmn belief was that kids with disabilities were “f n use” and therefre, better ff dead.
句意 但是对于出生在印度的一个小村庄的 Srikanth Blla来说情况甚至更糟，那里普遍的观念是残疾孩子“没有用”，因此，不如死了算了。
分析这是一个主从复合句。wh引导定语从句，修饰先行词 Srikanth Blla，where引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词 village。

4.F【解析】本段中心句是 Ask yur kids t share their acts f bravery. F项建议家长花费时间专注于孩子们勇敢的突破上，故F项正确。
5.D【解析】本段首句 Teach yur kids hw t reduce fears表明本段的中心是教导孩子怎样减少恐惧，D项 Teach yur children simple strategies t be brave（教你的孩子简单的勇敢的策略）与本段内容相符且概括了空后所提及的具体策略，故D项正确。
