【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容， 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Helicopter parenting is an expression that describes parents who are over focused on their child, like a helicopter hovering ( 盤旋 ) closely over him, whether he needs them or not.

__【1】__ As family sizes are getting smaller, more attention is focused on the one or two children and some parents have responded by taking more control over their lives. Also, many parents are making an attempt to develop close bonds with their children, often being overly involved in their lives. Also, some parents always fear that their children may fail in what they want to achieve, so they try to prevent the serious consequence, especially if it seems it could be avoided with parental involvement.

Sometimes the practice continues to spread due to what is called “peer (同齡人) pressure”. When parents observe other parents overparenting, it will pressure them to do the same to make sure that their own children don’t fall behind.

__【2】__ For example, by always “doing” for the child, the hovering parents don’t give the child a chance to fully develop his sense of independence. As a result, the child may lack the confidence necessary to do well in school. As an adult, he might find it difficult to deal with life’s challenges. __【3】__ Research has shown that helicopter parents have more anxiety because they constantly judge their own value by their children’s success.

__【4】__ Experts suggest that you should let your child do tasks that he is physically and mentally capable of doing by himself, which will help to build a self-confident kid. __【5】___ Gradually, your child will learn independence as he steps out on his own. Meanwhile, valuable lessons can occur when making mistakes. So if your child is allowed to make mistakes, he’s given the opportunity to learn from those lessons.

A. So how can you avoid being a helicopter parent?

B. There are a number of reasons for helicopter parenting.

C. There may be various consequences of helicopter parenting.

D. The term “helicopter parents” has been widely used in the media.

E. This parenting style also affects the parents.
