问题    When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons’ good points, things will be quite different.
   One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.
   The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it.
   Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.
   Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.
The writer criticizes the parents who______.

选项 A、ignore their children’ s achievements
B、are not interested in baking a cake
C、set high demands upon their children
D、don’t help out when their kids have difficulties

答案A

解析 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“Somehow,we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she…”可知,当孩子们把好的成绩单拿回家时,父母常常疏 于表扬他们;当孩子们第一次烘焙成功或者建了一个鸟窝时,父母经常未能鼓励他 们。而父母的这些表现都是作者不赞同的。因此可推知,作者批判的是忽略孩子们 的成就的父母。其他三个选项与文义不符。故选A。
