We’ve all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting.Remaining too involved in a kid’s life,especially throughout college,can lead to depression,lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.
This wisdom seems sound.But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling resistance.The concern:that too much of warning and horror stories—the cover of Julie Lythcott-Haims’ bestseller How to Raise an Adult instructs moms and dads to avoid “the overparenting trap”—is discouraging parents from getting involved at all.
“Yes,parents can be intruders,”says Marjorie Savage,a researcher in the University of Minnesota. “At the same time,there are increasing examples of parents refusing to step up when students genuinely need their family.”At Hofstra University,for example,parents now ask embarrassedly about mental-health and campus-safety resources,as if bringing up those topics were forbidden,says Branka Kristie,who heads the family-outreach programs.And Svage recalls talking to a mom who kept quiet about her son’s signs of depression until right before he failed a semester.She did not want to “helicopter in”
That means colleges,which have spent the past decade learning to cope with parents who get too involved,now have a different problem.In recent years,hundreds of colleges have either launched or increased their parent offices,which serve as one-stop shops for moms and dads looking to make complaints,report problem and generally stay in touch.
Much of this began,of course,because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students connected with their parents like never before.On average,they communicate 22.1 times per week,according to research from Barbara Hofer,a s=psychology professor at Middlebury College.That’s more than twice the rate of a decade ago,before almost every student had a smartphone.
With some moms and dads thinking twice of contacting the school in the first place,some programs are being used to encourage a more balanced approach,often through email and other social media.Hofstra’s Kristic advises parents to “be a guide,while granting that the student owns the journey.”That means asking questions,listening to answers,being patient and trusting kids to
resolve their own problems.But if issues persist,or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger,it also means hopping in the chopper,at least for a little while.
63.In paragraph 3,parents of Hofstra University students are mentioned to __________. A.show that parents have gone to the other extreme of overparenting B.provide educators with a new understanding of overparenting C.give a further example of supportive overparenting D.place emphasis on the necessity of overparenting
64.The phrase “hopping in the chopper” in the last paragraph refers to __________. A.having trust in kids
B.stepping in to solve kids’ problems C.joining a family-outreach program D.turning to social media for help
65.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Mental-health and campus-safety resources are sensitive topics among parents. B.How to Raise an Adult encourages parents to get engaged in family education. C.Overparenting is no longer a problem because of students’ self-reliance. D.There was less student-parent communication in the past than today. 66.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Why Colleges Need Helicopter Parents. B.How to Improve Parent-school Relations. C.Why Overparenting Is in Question. D.How to Communicate More as Parents.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.The two types of comics are created in very different ways. B.But for people who love comic books,they can be a fantastic escape from the tough realities of modern life. C.They find it hard to understand why comic books appeal so many people. D.Comics have lost its charm in America. E.In Japan,the contrast couldn’t be greater. F.Manga heroes look smaller,younger than all-conquering American heroes who have large muscles and lots of themed clothes. Japanese and American Comic Book Heroes To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.(67)__________ Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions dominate the market despite the fact—or perhaps because—they differ in a number of ways.
(68)__________ American comics are a group effort, beginning with the story-writing team and the artist who produces drawings of initial ideas. When these drafts are finalized, the outlines,dialogue,and color are added.Also,creators of comic superheroes sometimes sell their titles to other creative teams,who keep the superhero “alive”.This is in sharp contrast to manga(日本漫画) creators,who are often individual authors merely responsible for the storylines,dialogue,and artwork.When a manga creator decides to stop,so does the hero.
Another difference is the appearance of the heroes.(69)__________ Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories do not typically take place in a Japanese context.However,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their readiness to defend U.S. cities.
Probably the biggest difference is the readership.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The arrival of TV,however,led to a decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.(70)__________ There manga sales are still booming,reaching as high as $7 billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Shyness
If you suffer from shyness,you are not alone,for shyness is a universal phenomenon.It is not surprising that social scientists are exploring its environmental causes.
The first environmental cause of shyness may be a child’s home and family life.Today’s children are growing up in smaller and smaller families,with fewer and fewer relatives living nearby.Growing up in homes in which both parents work full time,children may not have the socializing experience of frequent visits by neighbors and friends.Because of their lack of social skills,they may begin to feel shy when they start school.
A second environmental cause of shyness in an individual may be one’s culture.In a large study conducted in Japan,57 percent of participants rated themselves as shy.Researchers Lynne Henderson and Philip Zimbardo say, “One explanation is that in Japan,an individual’s performance success is credited externally to parents,grandparents,teachers,coaches,and others,while failure is entirely blamed on the person.”Therefore,Japanese learn not to take risks i public and rely instead on group-shared decisions.
Technology may also play a role.In the United States,the number of young people who report being shy has risen from 40 percent to 50 percent in recent years.Due to our huge advances in technology,watching television,playing video games,and surfing the Web have replaced recreational activities that involve social interaction for many young people.Adults,too,are becoming more isolated as a result of technology.Face-to-face interactions with bank clerks,gas station attendants,and shop assistants are no longer necessary because people can use machines to do their banning,fill their gas tanks,and order goods.In short,they become shy.
It appears that most people have experienced shyness at some time in their lives.Therefore,if you are shy,you have lots of company.
