Answer 1

小題1:G
小題2:E
小題3:D
小題4:B
小題5:F

試題分析：本文外在的因素為影響孩子的發展。
小題1:G 上文提到是什么使人聰明，為什么有的人很笨，這是一個老的話題，沒有確切的答案。故選G 項。承上啟下作用。
小題2:E 上文提到思想就象肌肉，需要鍛煉，下方對于青少年來年精神的鍛煉是很重要的。承接上文的內容，與下方想呼應。故選E項。
小題3:D 上句話提到 許多兒童心理學家認為父母應過多的與孩子玩，讓他們思考問題，孩子就有可能變得聰明，明智。，另一方面，如果孩子被單獨扔下什么也不做，他們有可能變得愚鈍，與上句形成鮮明的對比，提出正反兩種情況。注意文章中on the other hand 的出現起重要的作用。根據上文得出D項。
小題4:B 根據下文，，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.父母說一些孩子不好的話，孩子可能變笨做蠢事。故父母應注意自己所對孩子所說的話。故選B項。
小題5:F 根據上句話So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，如果父母給孩子灌輸積極的因素是比較好，如你做這件事真不錯，你是個聰明的孩子，故選F項。
