"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 hover(悬停)over their kids like a helicopter. Today, modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover 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. 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 firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University. The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper. 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.
The term "helicopter parenting" ______.
选项
A、describes parents who give children directions in the air
B、was probably invented in the late nineteenth century
C、gains more meaning as modern technology develops
D、refers to parents who concern too much about kids
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据文章第一段第一句可知,“直升机式育儿法”指的是父母过于保护孩子、为孩子做太多的养育方法,因此,选项D(指那些为孩子考虑太多的父母)正确。选项A(指那些在空中给孩子指导的父母)只是字面理解的意思,与文章的意思不符,错误。由第一段第二句可知,该词在20世纪末被首次使用,故选项B(可能是在19世纪末期发明的)错误;选项C(随着现代科技的发展,有了更多的意义)文中没有提及。
