Most children with healthy appetites
are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely
dislikes food {{U}}(31) {{/U}} it is badly cooked. The way a meal is
cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often
improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child {{U}}(32) {{/U}} he likes
or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow
{{U}}(33) {{/U}} else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or
the mother refuses vegetables, in the child's hearing he is {{U}}(34)
{{/U}} to copy this procedure; Take it {{U}}(35) {{/U}} granted that
he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted
from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good
{{U}}(36) {{/U}} to give a child a small portion and let him come back
for a second helping rather than give him as {{U}}(37) {{/U}} as he is
likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child {{U}}(38)
{{/U}} meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not
{{U}}(39) {{/U}} him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he
will soon learn to swallow his food so he can hurry back to his toys. Under
{{U}}(40) {{/U}} circumstances must a child be coaxed (哄骗) or forced to
eat.
【正确答案】
D
