As a parent, you cant do this, because you and your child arent equals.For example, when youre sitting on your family room floor and your very young child asks you to pass him the blocks, you probably hand them right over. If your child is sitting with a peer and asks the same thing, though, he might not get what he wants.To succeed, your child will need to learn strategies for getting what he wants. For example, he might simply yank (猛拉) the toy out of his friends hand. If he does that, he may learn that its not the best way of getting what he wants because it leads to fighting and timeouts. The successful child will learn that he needs to negotiate a trade, to wait patiently, or to find something else equally fun to play with.Friends also provide emotional support, something that is part of the foundation of healthy adulthood. You cant be with your child on the elementary school playground or at the high school dance. Your childs friends will be the ones to stick_up_for her, to include her in games, and later, to tell her she looks great even if her lousy prom (糟糕的舞会) date wanders off instead of dancing with her.Friends also help your children learn. Friends solve problems together, imitate each other, and pass on knowledge.Some experts believe that the single biggest predictor of your childs success later in life is her ability to make friends. In fact, they claim its even more important than IQ and grades.This doesnt mean that the kids who are most popular in school do the best later on in life. What matters is not the number of friends a child has but rather the quality of the relationships.This is good news for those of us who hate to think that popularity really is the Holy Grail of childhood and adolescence. While its true that popularity has many advantages, and that many popular kids really are nice people and not just the best dressed or best looking its better to have a few good friends than to have the admiration of the masses.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。孩子们会从和朋友的相处中学到许多大人怎么想教都教不会的事，所以真正的好朋友对一个人的成长至关重要。5By giving the example in Paragraph 3, the author wants to show that _.Akids can learn how to deal with the relationships when they stay with their peersBparents should spend more spare time playing with their kidsCkids should learn how to be polite when they ask their parents for helpDparents can teach their kids how to be good members in the modern society in their daily life解析：选A推理判断题。一般而言，在议论文中，举例都是为了证明作者的观点。由此可知，第三段所举例子是为了证明第二段作者的观点，即“Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships.”。故选A。6What does the underlined phrase “stick up for” in the fifth paragraph mean?AEnvy.BOppose.CSupport. DIgnore.解析：选C词义猜测题。根据本段第一句中的“Friends also provide emotional support”可知，此处将家长与同龄朋友进行比较是为了说明同龄朋友会给孩子们以情感上的支持。由此可知，画线词意为“支持”。故答案选C。7In the authors opinion, _ is more important than being popular for kids.Agetting high gradesBhaving some real friendsCdeveloping a good habitDknowing how to dress themselves up解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章最后三段可知，朋友的质量比朋友的数量、智商、分数和外表都重要。故选B。8Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AHow to Bridge the Generation GapBWhat It Takes to Be a Good FriendCWhy Friends Are ImportantDHow to Be Popular in School解析：选C标题归纳题。文章的中心段是第一段，由此结合全文内容可知，文章主要说明了同龄朋友对孩子成长的重要性。故选C。C(2017万州二中模拟) Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is 23,870.According to a study, a BFF (Best Friend Forever) does not come cheap with devoted pals blowing 4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime.And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pickmeups (提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.Theres a further 242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason.And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping (巨大的) 18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage.The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect 431 spent on them and a further 283 on gifts when they have children.And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking.The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives.However, they come at a cost.From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up.But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”语篇解读：最好的朋友也许是无价的，但维持一段友谊却是高价的。那么你知道维持一段友谊需要多少钱吗？一项研究给出了答案。9What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?AAmbitious.BGenerous.CTroublesome. DEnergetic.解析：选B词义猜测题。画线部分后的“go the extra mile and spend 168 . the breakup of a relationship.”就是对它的进一步说明。此处指虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠并不需要花费什么，但是英国人会为朋友付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如关系破裂等困难时期。画线部分的意思应该是“慷慨的”，故选B。10To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend m
