【1】根據(jù)下文提示“而一生都活得精彩的關(guān)鍵在于管理情緒”，承接下句，E項(xiàng) Kids need to have a wide variety of emotions.（孩子們需要有各種各樣的情緒）切題。E項(xiàng)符合邏輯，起銜接作用。故選E。

【2】該空是小標(biāo)題，根據(jù)上下文小標(biāo)題，可知應(yīng)該在A/B中選擇。再根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容“不要向小孩妥協(xié)，要堅(jiān)守自己的原則”，可知，本段勸說(shuō)父母不要妥協(xié)于孩子們的不當(dāng)行為。由此推知，A項(xiàng)Giving in to misbehavior（屈服于行為不當(dāng)）切題。故選A。

【4】根據(jù)下文提示“讓他們體驗(yàn)失望并教會(huì)他們?yōu)樽约合胍�的東西而奮斗”。承接下文，C項(xiàng)Set limits on what you give your children（對(duì)你能提供的物質(zhì)條件，一定要設(shè)定界限）切題。故選C。

【5】根據(jù)上文提示“無(wú)論你在體育領(lǐng)域期望你的孩子太多,或者你的學(xué)術(shù)期望是不合理的,那些覺得他們不能成功的孩子很可能會(huì)停止嘗試。”承接上文，G項(xiàng)They are also more likely to struggle with self- respect issues（他們也更有可能與自我尊重問(wèn)題斗爭(zhēng)）切題。故選G。
