问题     It’s so difficult to follow the ups and downs of a 2-year-old. One moment he’s beaming and friendly; the next he’s sullen (愠怒的) and weepy, often for no apparent reason. These mood swings, however, are just part of growing up. They are signs of the emotional changes taking place as your child struggles to take control of actions, impulses, feelings and his body.
    At this age, your child wants to explore the world and seek adventure. As a result, he’ll spend most of his time testing limits, his own, yours and his environment’s. Unfortunately, he still lacks many of the skills required for the safe accomplishment of everything he needs to do, and he often will need you to protect him.
    When he oversteps a limit and is pulled back, he often reacts with anger and frustration, possibly with a temper tantrum (发脾气) or sullen rage. He may even strike back by hitting, biting or kicking. At this age, he doesn’t have much control over his emotional impulses, so his anger and frustration tend to erupt suddenly in the form of crying, hitting or screaming. It’s his only way of dealing with the difficult realities of life. He may even act out in ways that unintentionally harm himself or others. It’s all part of being 2.
    It’s not uncommon for toddlers to be angels when you’re not around, because they don’t trust other people enough to test their limits. But with you, your toddler will be willing to try things that may be dangerous or difficult, because he knows you’ll rescue him if he gets into trouble.
    Whatever protest pattern he has developed around the end of his first year will probably persist for some time. For instance, when you’re about to leave him with a sitter, he may become angry and throw a tantrum in anticipation of the separation. Or he may whimper, or whine and cling to you. Or he could simply become subdued and silent. Whatever his behavior, try not to overreact by scolding or punishing him. The best tactic is to reassure him before you leave that you will be back and, when you return, to praise him for being so patient while you were gone. Take solace in the fact that separations should be much easier by the time he’s 3 years old.
According to the passage, when a toddler is an angel (Para. 4) , he_____.
选项 A、is pretty and lovely
B、always smiles
C、doesn’t cry
D、doesn’t test his limits
答案D
解析 推断题。在第四段中讲，当你(父、母)不在跟前时，蹒跚学步的小孩子经常会像天使那样乖顺，因为他对别的人不信任，所以他不会去试探自己的能力极限，也就是说他不会去尝试做一些困难、危险的事。只有当跟着父母的时候，他才会显得很不老实，因为他相信父母会保护好他。所以，本段中说蹒跚学步的小孩子像天使，就是说他们表现得很老实、乖顺，不做危险的事。故D为正确答案。
