“It hurts me more than you，’’and “This is for your own good．’’These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin，clean my room，stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in educafion in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school．The schools and the educators made it easy on us．They thought that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators，turned on the television，left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation．
Now teachers，faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years，are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake．One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-“so passive”-and-wonders what happened．Nothing was demanded of them，she believes. Television，says Klompus，contributes to children’s passivity．“We’re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus．“we’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry．They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ‘go look it up’，you tell them the answer．It takes greater energy to say no to a kid．”
Yes，it does．It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work．It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it"s for their own good．It’s time to start telling them no again.

解析

试题分析：本文介绍了父母亲对孩子疏于管理，听之任之对学习带来的负面影响。建议父母严格要求自己的孩子。
小题1:推理题。根据第三段4,5行内容Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity.可知看电视是引起学生学习被动的一个主要原因。可得出答案。选A.
小题2:推理题：从第三段的句子：“we’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry．They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying ‘go look it up’，you tell them the answer．It takes greater energy to say no to a kid．”可知对于文章中描写的孩子说yes比说no容易。选C.
小题3:事实细节题。从This is for your own good —these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin…(几年前母亲经常说“这是为了你好”来要求我把事情做好)即作者的母亲过去是很注重纪律的，故答案选C。
小题4:猜测句意题。根据横线后面得in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school指在这段时期里，让孩子做他们想做的事情。故A正确。
小题5:主旨大意题。文章在第三段中提及父母为孩子做了太多的事情，放任孩子自由，导致孩子没有受到挫折的打击，所以应该对孩子有更高的要求。故C正确。
