How to raise a sweet boy in an era of anger

Hours after I gave birth to my first child,my husband held our five-pound boy in his arms and said,gently,"Hi,Sweet pea."Not“＂Buddy”or"Little Man."Sweet pea.The word filled me with unexpected comfort.Like most parents,we knew what we'd name our son but never discussed how we'd speak to him.I was witnessing my husband's commitment to raising a sweet boy.

Because this is what the world needs now,urgently:sweet boys and people who grow them.

There are so many angry men among us.There are angry women,too,but they're only beginning to claim this emotion that has long been denied them.Women 's public anger is the kind of anger that gives girls voices,such as MeToo.But men 's anger tries to shut down the voices of others.Today's angriest women encourage people to solve a problem;today's angriest men murder.

A man uses his car to murder an anti-Nazi protester.A man shoots a congressman at his baseball practice.A man commits mass murder at a Vegas concert.A man kills a large number of worshipers in their church...

The world has turned so upside down that it is impossible for a man to display his vulnerability(脆弱）。Walk into any baby store,and you can see clothes for newborns declare, ＂TOUGH LIKE DADDY”＂。They don't receive explicit encouragement to fully access their emotions.Boys have always known they could do anything;all they had to do was look around at their presidents,religious leaders,professional athletes,at the statues that stand erect in big cities and small.Girls have always known they were allowed to feel anything- except anger.Now girls,led by women,are being told they can own righteous anger.Now they can feel what they want and be what they want.

What about boys?The boy taught from infancy to be tough still seems emotionally doomed.It's time to change.

We don't need to raise kids with gender neutrality or deny natural differences between boys and girls.We do need to recognize that children,regardless of gender,have natural sweetness that we,as a society,would do well to develop and preserve.

Sweet boys grow up to be men who recognize the strength in being vulnerable and sympathetic.Sweet boys are children who've been given,by their parents and wider society, the permission to feel everything and to express those emotions without shame.

At a young age,this should be done explicitly,in organized discussions at school.It must be done all the time in our family homes.Parents must invite their sons to be sad, afraid,hurt,silly and affectionate,and must embrace them as often as they hug and kiss their daughters.Sweet boys learn early on that they can defend themselves against loneliness by reaching out and asking for support rather than turning into people who, literally,grab for power.Sweet boys evolve into open-hearted men who aren't confused about consent and sexual boundaries,because they experience women as equals.Boys will not be merely boys.If we let them,boys will be human.

【2】reasons

【3】Different

【4】discouraged

【5】grab

【6】awareness

【7】permission

【8】bravely

【9】equals

【10】seek

【解析】

這是一篇任務(wù)型閱讀。講了性別刻板印象培養(yǎng)孩子的壞處，導(dǎo)致男性極端表達(dá)憤怒，女性過于溫和，鼓勵(lì)一視同仁的讓孩子合理表達(dá)情感。

【1】

原詞重現(xiàn)。第一段最后一句...my husband’s commitment to raising a sweet boy.我見證了丈夫?qū)τ陴B(yǎng)育兒子的付出，名詞轉(zhuǎn)形容詞，故填committed。

【2】

理解概括題。結(jié)合第二段可知接下來談原因，結(jié)合題干的for，故填reasons。

【3】

理解概括題。第三段在說，男女表達(dá)憤怒的方式是不同的，女性的憤怒來源于為自己爭取平等的權(quán)利，而男性往往是為了發(fā)泄而去犯罪，故填Different。

【4】

理解概括題，也考察固定搭配。第五段第三行They don’t receive explicit encouragement to fully access their emotions.男性不被鼓勵(lì)表達(dá)自己情感的脆弱，discourage from doing就是不鼓勵(lì)做某事，故填discouraged。

【5】

原詞重現(xiàn)。最后一段倒數(shù)第三行...grab for power.男孩子一直以來被鼓勵(lì)攫取力量，故填grab。

【6】

理解概括題。第七段第二行We do need to recognize that...這一段就在說大眾要意識到無論孩子什么性別，生而都是性格甜蜜柔軟的，故填awareness。

【7】

原詞重現(xiàn)。第八段最后一行...the permission to feel everything and to express those emotion without shame.家庭和社會要準(zhǔn)許男孩可以毫無羞恥的表達(dá)自己的任何情感，故填permission。

【8】

理解概括題。定位句同上，沒有羞恥的表達(dá)，也就是勇敢的表達(dá)，故填bravely。

【9】

理解概括題。結(jié)合第九段前半部分，要和用對待女孩的方式一樣對待家里的男孩，也就是平等的對待，故填equals。

【10】

理解概括題。第九段第四行...defend themselves against loneliness by reaching out and asking for support...男孩子可以尋求幫助來抵抗孤獨(dú)感而不是變成所謂強(qiáng)大的人，故填seek。
