Ms Calland and Ms Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year.They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”．

　　Ms Calland said，“All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we’re only building up problems for the future.We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”

　　“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind，they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it.Make sure you and your partner are working together on this.Be consistent.And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”

　　【语篇解读】　本文是时文阅读。由于父母对孩子圣诞节的要求无限制地满足，产生了“I want it now”一代。

　　5．What is the main problem with the “I want it now” generation?

　　A．They are quite self­centered.

　　B．They like to live in fairy tales.

　　C．They waste a lot of money on gifts.

　　D．They can’t keep their interest in gifts.

　　解析　细节理解题。从第一段最后一句中的“Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish”以及倒数第二段中的“a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others”可知“ I want it now”一代很自私、以自我为中心。
