My 8-year-old son, Kevin, has made friends

题目内容：

My 8-year-old son, Kevin, has made friends with some boys in the neighborhood. He has been 36with them after school. My wife，Qugen, and I are __37__ he has other kids to be with and we have __38__ and encouraged him to play with his friends. We also want Kevin to learn __39__，so we have asked him to tell us __40__ he's going and to come home at a specified time.

The __41__ started when Kevin didn't come home on time. On one occasion，I asked Kevin to be back at 6 pm. By 6：30，I needed to go __42__ him. I found him at a friend's house，and he looked __43__ that he couldn't continue playing. After we came home，I sat Kevin down for a talk about the __44__ of keeping his word. I told him I was not worried about him arriving a few __45__ late，but after half an hour，I’m going to be 46. He told me he understood.

The next day，I came home from work at about 6:30 p.m. and Qugen asked me to go and get Kevin __47__ she said he should be back home at 6. I walked to his friend's house and a look of __48__ appeared on Kevin's face when he came to the door.

At __49__，Qugen and I spoke to Kevin about why he didn't come home on time again. He said he just wanted to _ 50__ playing. This was __51__，so Qugen and I decided to ground(罚不准出门)him for a week. This __52_ no playing with his friends.

For the next week，whenever his friends came to ask for Kevin，we let him _53__ to them that he was grounded. We felt this would help him be responsible for his __54__.

As a __55__，I believe one of the most important things we can teach our kids is self-responsibility and that actions have consequences.

答案解析：

文章讲述的是作者鼓励他的孩子出去和朋友一起玩，但是一定要准时回家，后来儿子没有准时回来，作者给予了不准出门的惩罚。

小题1:上下文，根据后面的 after school可知，他们课后在一起玩耍

小题2:上下文，根据后面的encouraged him to play with his friends可知，作者父亲两人对此很满意

小题3:上下文，该空应当和encourage意思相近，因此选择allow，意为，我们允许并鼓励他和朋友们一起玩耍

小题4:上下文，根据下文so we have asked him to tell us __40__ he's going and to come home at a specified time可知，作者想让儿子有责任感，在出去的时候告诉我们他的去向，并在特定的时间回家

小题5:同上

小题6:句意理解，问题出现了，当kevin没有按时回家

小题7:上下文，上文讲到kevin没有回来，因此作者要出去找她，look for寻找 pick up接，捡起，接受，偶然学到 wait for等 call up让某人想起

小题8:上下文，根据后面的 he couldn't continue playing可知，他感到失望，不能继续玩下去了。

小题9:句意，我跟他谈谈关于遵守承诺的重要性，

小题10:句意为，我告诉他我并不担心他晚回来几分钟，但是半小时之后，我要开始担心了

小题11:同上 concerned意为担心的

小题12:句意理解，Qugen让我去把kevin带回来，因为他应当在六点就回来了

小题13:上下文，根据上文可知他同意了作者要在六点回来，可是这次又没有按时回来，所以他感到愧疚

小题14:上下文，根据后文可知，此时他们已经回到家里，Qugen和作者问kevin为什么没有按时回来

小题15:他说他就是想继续玩下去

小题16:上下文，根据后文作者惩罚他不准出门可知，kevin的这种想法是完全无法接受的，因此就罚他不能出门

小题17:句意理解，罚他一个星期不准出门，这意为这不能和朋友出去一起玩了

小题18:句意理解，朋友来找他出去玩，可是他不能出去，因此要向朋友们解释，

小题19:我们感觉这会有助于帮助他对他自己的行为负责

小题20:上下文，作者是kevin的父亲，所以此处是作为父母，家长
