37、r hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent._4_According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.

40、些都是古老的问题，这些问题的答案仍然不清楚。符合上下文的问答串联。2F根据本段第一句that just being born with a good mind is not enough.可知天生聪明是不够的；再根据下句Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children.精神方面的锻炼对小孩子尤其重要。因此我们的智力需要锻炼。也就是F项It needs exercise.符合上下文串联。3D根据前一句Many child psychologists think that parent
41、s should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.可知很多儿童心理学家认为父母亲应该多和儿童一起玩耍，多给问题让儿童思考。这样的孩子才可以长大以后聪明勤奋。所以D项The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.内容与上下文一致。4B根据下一句According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that
42、he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.可知如果父母亲总是对孩子说他是傻子，孩子真的有可能变成傻子。也就是说父母亲要特别注意自己对孩子所说的话。故B正确。5G根据4题可知，父母亲对孩子所说的话很重要，有的父母亲总是批评孩子，说孩子是傻瓜，结果孩子真的表现不好。再根据横线前一句So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children可知父母亲要多对孩子说积极的话。G项You are such a smart child.与前面一句“That was a very clever thing you did.”都是父母亲对孩子说的鼓励的话。故G正确。
