阅读理解题型分类练（二） 细节理解题———间接信息类 A （外刊原创·NPR网站）Many parents and teachers today are feeling frustrated because children don’t behave the way they used to in the good old days. What happened？ Why don’t today’s children develop the same kinds of responsibility and motivation that seemed more common in children many years ago？ There are many possible explanations， such as broken homes， too much television， video games， and working mothers. These factors are so common in our society today that the situation would seem rather hopeless if they really explained our current challenges with children. Rudolf Dreikurs had another theory. There are many major changes that have taken place in society over the past few years that more directly explain the differences in children today. The first major change is that adults no longer give children an example or model of obedience （顺从）. Adults forget that they no longer act the way they used to in the good old days. Remember when Mom obediently did whatever Dad said because it was the culturally acceptable thing to do？ In the good old days few people questioned the idea that Dad’s decisions were final. Because of the human rights movement， this is no longer true. Mom quit giving the children a model of obedience. This is progress. Many things about the good old days were not so good. Another major change is that in today’s society children have fewer opportunities to learn responsibility and motivation. Today children are given too much in the name of love without any effort or investment on their part and they develop an entitlement attitude. Too many mothers and fathers believe that good parents protect their children from all disappointment. They rescue or overprotect — thus robbing their children of the opportunity to develop a belief in their capability to handle the ups and downs of life. Children do not develop responsibility when parents and teachers are too strict and controlling， nor do they develop responsibility when parents and teachers are permissive （纵容的）. Children learn responsibility when they have opportunities to learn valuable social and life skills for good character in an atmosphere of kindness， firmness， dignity， and respect. 1.Rudolf Dreikurs’s theory intends to .（ ） A.tell us what changes have taken place B.prove today’s children lack motivation C.analyse how our society has been developing D.explain why today’s children don’t behave well 2.What attitude does the author take towards Mom’s obedience？（ ） A.Curious.
