阅读理解 A child of five is friendly, competent and obedient, although he may be bossy with other children and is sometimes sufficiently independent to call his mother names. He is still dependent on adult approval and praise, and so orientated (对......感兴趣) to the grown-up that he tells tales without seeing the other child''s point of view. There is no real discussion yet—five talking together indulge in (沉浸于) a "collective monologue (独白) " ; quarrelling with words often begins towards the end of the year. Group play is often disrupted (破坏) because everyone wants to be the mother or the bride or the captain of the fire brigade. Each child has an urgent need for constantly recurring (反复的) contact with an adult in spite of all his efforts to be independent. In his unsureness he may make statements about his own cleverness and beauty, hoping that the adult will praise him: this is not conceit (自负) but a cry for reassurance. He loves to say" Watch what I can do. " Reality and fantasy are still intermingled and this confusion may lead him to elaborate on facts.
