问题     However important we regard school life to be, there is no denying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of the parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder (阻碍) and thwart(阻止) curricular objectives.
    Administers have been aware of the need’ to keep parents acquainted with the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics.
    Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home.
    To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent elevate his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or measuring up at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
    If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.
    Too often, however,  teachers’ conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children’s misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home.
    What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.
    In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters’ capacities.
Which of the following is discussed in the passage?
选项 A、parents drill their children too much in arithmetic
B、principals have explained the new art programs to parents
C、a father can have his son help him construct articles at home
D、parents’ misguided efforts can be properly directed
答案D
解析 细节概括题。该题问哪个选项是文章讨论的问题。答题依据在文章第四段。通过阅读和概括，我们可以知道该部分文章举例说明了教师可以如何对辅导孩子方法不当的家长给予指导。由此，我们可以确定答案为 [D] parents’ misguided efforts can be properly directed(家长的不适当的辅导方法可以得到很好的引导)。[A]项说的是“家长对孩子的数学辅导得太多”，[B]项的意思是“校长向家长介绍新的艺术课程”，[C]的意思是“家长可以在家里让孩子帮助他做东西”。可见，这三项与文章意思相去甚远，故都不是正确答案。
