问题     A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble in getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out (退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. "When children work on a project", says Lillian Kate , an educational professor at the University of Illinois, " they learn to work together, to disagree , to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills. Relationships should be the first R.
    At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as a 1-year-old struggling to walk, a 6-year-old is struggling to meet adults’ expectations. "Young kids don’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability, "says Professor Hill, an early-childhood educator for the state of New Jersey, " If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. The effects of obvious methods comparison such as posting grades can be serious, " says Hills, "a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation".
In the first paragraph, the word" spot" means______.

选项 A、teach
B、help
C、find
D、treat

答案C

解析 词语理解题。根据文章第一段第三句话“…youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.”可知老师鼓励孩子们参加集体活动,这样他们才能发现哪些孩子不善于与同学相处。由此可推断spot意为“发现”。
