问题    "Helicopter parenting" describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much. The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s. It describes parents who watch over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modem technology allows these helicopter parents to watch over from even far away. They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.
   Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise An Adult. In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.
   " Over-parenting," she says, " comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredictable. And therefore, I must protect and prevent them from this. The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say. You’ll study these topics, do these activities and you will be highly achieving at all of it. The third type is the concierge(看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping track of their deadlines, to making sure they haven’t forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid. "
   Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting first-hand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on papers. But many were unable to take care of themselves.
   " They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem-solving, to have them make the choice about something. " Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.
It can be inferred that a concierge mother will______.

选项 A、regard the world as very dangerous
B、allow children to do whatever they like
C、keep a close eye on the kid’ s assignment
D、let the kid alone when he falls on the ground

答案C

解析 根据第三段最后一句“The third type is the concierge…”可知,第三种类 型是看门人式的,这种父母只想让生活更容易些,从叫孩子起床,记住他们交作业的 时间,到保证他们没有忘记任何事情,甚至替孩子做作业。由此可推知,这种父母对孩 子看得很严,也管得很多。选项A(认为世界很危险)属于第一种类型所描述的父母的 情况;选项B(让孩子想做什么就做什么)和选项D(当孩子摔倒在地时不管他们)都不 属于第三种类型父母的做法;而选项C(密切关注孩子的作业)符合题意。故选C。
