www.gkstk.com阅读理解体裁题材词数难度建议用时记叙文家庭教育3177分钟My daughter has been in karate (空手道) since the first grade，and has been in high honor and gifted classes her whole life.She is always a joy，and at 15，though people tell me we should be fighting and she should be hanging out at malls and chasing boys，she is none of that.My 11yearold son，Tom，for years would fight with me over everything.If I said the sky was blue，he would say it was black.For years he was failing several subjects.We took games away and then TV; we tried a reward program，but nothing worked long.He would bring a grade up to get his stuff (物品) back，and then go back to where he had been.My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class，and maybe life in the martial arts (武术) would help him turn around.At first he didnt like it because he had to ask permission to do anything，and he had to say “yes，sir” and “no，sir” for everything.He even had to respect his sister，because she was of a high rank.So he wanted to stop.However，my husband told our son，“If I can do this at 40 something years old，so can you.”And then I would take my whole family three or four times a week to learn martial arts.My son learned so much about a better way of living：respecting others，following the rules，and above all respecting himself.I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students，and we could not be closer than we are.There is always an answer to your problem.If you do your research or just ask another person，or even a kid for help，you will find it.And when it comes to our kids，the right answer is always worth finding.【解题导语】作者通过自己的经历告诉父母们，在教育孩子的过程中遇到困难不要放弃，只要努力总会找到解决问题的办法。1Before Tom learned karate，_Ahe didnt have a good sense of colorBhis parents had tried many ways to change himChe studied very hard to please his parentsDhe didnt show any interest in physical exercise答案B考查推理判断。根据第一段内容可知，作者曾经试过很多办法改变儿子，但是都不奏效。2How many people in the writers family learned karate?AOne.
