问题     It’s never too early or too late for a parent to become a teacher. In this age of teacher accountability, endless school testing, increased pressure and competition, and the proliferation of "educational" toys, too many people forget that success begins at home.
    Freeman A. Hrabowski Ⅲ, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and co-author of Beating the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Males and Overcoming the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Young Women, says that in the interviews he and his co-authors conducted, the overwhelming factor in their children’s academic achievement was that parents inspired and envisioned their children’s success. They thought and talked about what would be required to have a .successful child.
    "It just makes such a difference when there’s someone in that house working to relate to that child and inspire that child," Hrabowski says. "These parents (of the high achievers discussed) are really inspirational in their commitment to their children."
    Professor Barbara T. Bowman, one of the faculty founders of Chicago’s Erikson Institute, an independent institution of higher education that prepares child development professionals for leader- ship, says that Black children must learn in two different cultures-the African-American culture in which they live and the mainstream culture on which school and education are based.
    Bowman also says the relationship between children and their parents is critical. "It is the early responsive ness of the caregiver to the infant’s behavior that creates a sense of well-being and optimism that affects the child’s interest in learning," says Bowman, who served as president of the institute from 1994 to last year. "Children who like and want to please the adult learn better what the adult wants them to learn."
    In this day of highly competitive testing and the stress of getting high SAT or ACT scores, it’s important also to avoid pressuring or overexposing your child. Your son or daughter is probably already facing stress at school and on the playground. Your role is to help him or her relieve and manage that stress. Help them to understand that life does not end or begin with a test. And while academic success is important, it’s also important to keep everything in perspective. Failure is a relative term in the grand scheme of things. If your child did poorly on a test, but answered a particularly tough question correctly, stress the positive. On the other hand, if schoolwork comes too easily to your child, find other ways to challenge him or her so they understand that life won’t always be that way.  
Which one of the following is the best title for the passage?
选项 A、How to raise a high-achieving child
B、Successful students whose parents are teachers
C、Key factors for children’s success
D、Motivation and challenge: what do children need most?
答案A
解析 标题题，主旨题的一种变形的呈现方式；结合我们对文章的理解和前面4个问题的解答，我们已经基本可以确定，这篇文章主要讨论的是家庭教育对于孩子成功的影响及其重要作用。比较阅读4个选项，我们可以看到，A选项和原文的主旨是最贴切的，也就是我们需要的最佳标题。B选项的错误和第一个题目中一样是对原文第一句话的误解，同时也偏离了文章中心。C选项过于宽泛，这篇文章只是集中关注在促进孩子成功的因素构成中，家庭教育的重要作用，而C选项的key facotrs这样的表达对于文章来说是一种“大帽子，小身子”的标题，需要排除。D选项和C选项对应属于对于“大身子”的文章主体给出的“小帽子”的标题，也是需要排除的。
