67、iplining her child. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process？” Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other peoples children has become a minefield. “Kids arent all raised the same，” agrees Professor Naom
68、i White of Monash University. “But there is still an idea that theyre the possessions of the parents. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if youre saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then thats somehow a criticism(批评) of me.” In those circumstances, its difficult to kn
69、ow whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought. “Id go to the child first，” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet reminder thatwe dont do that here is enough. Kids have finely tuned antennae(直觉) for how to behave in different sett
70、ings.” He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel overlooked, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too. This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first.“Raise your concerns with the parents if they
71、re there and ask them to deal with it，” she says. Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers “Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Begin your remarks with something like I know youll think Im silly but in my house I don
72、t want.” He doesnt believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other peoples kids. “Look at kids that arent your own as a potential minefield，” he says. He recommends that we dont stay silent over inappropriate behavior, particularly with regular visitors.64What did Stella do after the young bo

74、s important not to hurt them in any way.B. Its no use trying to stop their wrongdoing.C. Its advisable to treat them as ones own kids.D. Its possible for one to get into lots of trouble.答案与解析：D第三段可知让自己的孩子表现好已经是很难了，对付别人家的孩子会让你进入雷区(有更多的麻烦)。66According to professor Naomi White, what will the parents pr
75、obably do when other people find fault with their kids?A. They will feel hurt as well.B. They will scold their kids.C. They will lose control of themselves.D. They will defend their child successfully.答案与解析：A第四段从Naomi White可知孩子是父母的延续，如果说孩子不好，父母会觉得在批评他们，故会感到受伤害。67According to Andrew Fuller, what shou
76、ld one do when seeing other peoples kids misbehave?A. Express dissatisfaction to their parents politely.B. Make comments on inappropriate behavior.C. Talk to the kids directly in a mild way.D.
