二、阅读理解：正误判断（每题10分）
Parenting is hard. If you're a parent, I'm sure that I don't need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I've been working on this for the past few months and I have to say, it's been amazing for both the kids and me.
If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!
One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can't expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect – taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a big difference.
You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you'd better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you'll get at communicating with them. You're both more likely to understand each other.
If your children aren't listening or it seems they only don't listen to you, you don't take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they're not going to be perfect.

解析：
1. 这是一道词义辨析题。第一句中形容词“hard”表示“艰难的”，意为”养育儿女是件艰难的事情。而题1中形容词“easy”表示“容易”，意为“作为父母，你可能知道养育儿女是件容易的事情”，与原句意义不符，所以选F。
2. 这是一道细节题。第二段的第一句话意为“如果你和孩子之间发生争执，那么你应该确保你和孩子都需要花时间去真正倾听对方的心声，所以选T。
3. 这是一道推断题。第三段的第二句话意为”你不应该期望你年幼的孩子能和年长的孩子那样，做事认真负责”，因此推断“通常年幼的孩子做事不如年长的孩子有责任感”，所以选T。
4. 这是一道细节题。第三段的第三句意为“你应该降低你的期望值”，所以选T。
5. 这是一道判断题。第四段的第三句意为“别对孩子大吼大叫, 你最好和他低声说话。这可以缓解气氛，使大家安静下来，而不会让事态变得更加激烈”，而题5意为：“大吼大叫和低声说话都可以有助时事态更平静”，与原句意义不符，所以选F。
