Parents might say "honesty is the best policy," but when it comes to talking with their own children, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada.
Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child’ s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child’s crying and says, "The police will come to get you if you don’t stop crying now. "In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child.
Whether parents he to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such
tall tales
could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world.
Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. "If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z. " Heyman, one of the researchers, said.
Heyman also said, "It is common for parents to try out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you’re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment. "
According to the research, how may children be affected by their parents’ lies?
选项
A、They may fall behind in school.
B、They may lie to their parents too.
C、They may get confused about the society.
D、They may feel they are being overprotected.
答案
C
解析
推理题。题干意为“根据研究调查,父母的谎言会对孩子造成什么样的影响?”。文章第三段“…give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with thesocial world.”,由此可推理出,父母的谎言会影响孩子们对于社会的理解,故C为正确答案。
