Despite the temptation for parents to say yes to their children’ s wishes, research shows there’ s an insidious side to chasing after the newest thing others have. It【C1】________a sense of deficiency that can never be fully【C2】________. First they want the doll, then all of the accessories.
And so I’ ve taken on the work of saying no sometimes. At first, not surprisingly, my daughters, aged 4 and 9,【C3】________. They called me a bad father and I got plenty of【C4】________looks. But over time, they realized the【C5】________that comes from a no. Now my daughters pretend that their Elsa doll plays with a package of shopkins,【C6】________gives both toys a second, and better, life.
It【C7】________out that saying no pays off far beyond avoiding raising spoiled kids. When we always【C8】________to our children’ s wants, we rob them【C9】________the opportunity to find solutions by adapting what they already have. Kids who learn from【C10】________realize at an early age that they won’ t always have the perfect tool for every job.
Youngsters are naturally【C11】________. Give toddlers a frying pan and all sorts of uses come to their minds.【C12】________, as adults, we’re stuck using it to make a stir-fry. Many years of chasing after things we don’ t need【C13】________our own ability to make more out of what we already have. It also【C14】________a bad example for our kids.
Each time we acquiesce to our kids’ latest【C15】________to buy something, we subtly condition them that their resources have limited uses. An occasional veto will【C16】________them, in this case literally, to think outside the box. Many people who grow up without much recognize【C17】________as an essential skill to get by. Those of us fortunate to live in relative abundance can【C18】________from occasionally experiencing scarcity. To be sure, I’m not suggesting denying children a generous supply of things they actually need like healthy meals, warm clothes and love. But plenty of wishes we cater to teach the【C19】________message. By having children occasionally experience scarcity, we can help them solve problems more【C20】________.
【C17】
选项
A、idea
B、thought
C、intelligence
D、resourcefulness
答案
D
解析
本句意为“很多在成长过程中拥有的东西并不多的人意识到,________是一项重要的技能,能够让他们利用已有的东西解决问题”。此处much作名词,表示“许多东西”。联系上文可知,作者一直强调足智多谋的重要性,故D项resourcefulness“足智多谋”为正确答案。A项“观点”、B项“想法”和C项“智力”不够具体。且在文中均未提及。
