问题     Most injures can be prevented, provided a parent goes about it the right way.
    Mr. Grant was a skilled and capable surgeon. His wife--intelligent, charming and a qualified nurse--had suggested they see me about their 16-month-old son, Neville.
    Mrs. Grant spoke first. "We’re both professional people, and I guess we’re supposed to know more than most people. It hurts us to admit our little Neville is such a problem."
    "He’s all over the house, climbing, handling things he’s not supposed to be touching," Mr. Grant interrupted, "and we’re afraid he’ll badly injure himself and it’ll be our fault."
    "Does he have some understanding of the word ’ no’," I asked…
    "That’s just it, we can’t be sure if he has or not. Sometimes he seems to understand, but at other times he just doesn’t seem to mind when we say ’no’," the father replied.
    "Teaching a child the meaning of the word ’no’ can be crucial in preventing accidents. Unless your Neville can understand the true meaning of ’no’--and only you two can teach it to him at this stage--there’s bound to be trouble," I stated emphatically.     Children between the age of one and two often injure themselves, sometimes quite seriously, if they’ve not been properly trained to respond to the word ’no’. It’s only natural that our child, having only recently learned to move about, should want to explore and find out about this big, beautiful world around him. His sense of curiosity gets the better of him.
    To begin with, the fewer "no’s" you tell your child, the better off things it will be. This can be done by thoughtfully removing from the room all those forbidden objects you suspect he’ll reach for.
    You must be absolutely consistent. Be quick, alert, and fast-acting in preventing him from reaching for a forbidden object.
    Draw his attention, towards something else he can play with. [br] Which of the following is true?
选项 A、The Grants and the author are all professional people.
B、The parents have failed in teaching their son how to read and comprehend the word "no".
C、Reading between the lines, we may conclude that Neville has injured himself more than once.
D、It is implied, but not directly stated that Mrs. Grant is Neville’s stepmother.
答案 A
解析
