　　Five ways to make conversation with anyone

　　In choosing a new home, Camille McClain's kids have a single demand: a backyard.

　　McClain's little ones aren't the only kids who have an opinion when it comes to housing, and in many cases youngsters' views weigh heavily on parents' real estate decisions, according to a 2018 Harris Poll survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults.

　　While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions, realty agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial, personal and long-term effects kids' opinions may have.

　　The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process, said Ryan Hooper, a clinical psychologist in Chicago.

　　“Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system,” he said.

　　Greg Jaroszewski, a real estate brokers with Gagliardo Realty Associates, said he's not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home --- but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities, if possible.

　　Younger children should feel like they're choosing their home --- without actually getting a choice in the matter, said Adam Bailey, a real estate attorney based in New York.

　　Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they're being included in the decision-making process, Bailey said.

　　Many of the aspects of homebuying aren't a consideration for children, said Tracey Hampson, a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita, Calif. And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.

　　“Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise, but I wouldn't base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.” Hampson said.

　　The other issue is that many children - especially older ones - may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows, said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside , Calif .

　　“They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us,” he said. “HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate. It's not shelter , it's a lifestyle. With that mindset change come some serious money consequences.”

　　Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, Norris said.

　　Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time, said Julie Gurner, a real estate analyst with Fit Small Business. com.

　　“Their opinions can change tomorrow,” Gurner said. “Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child's opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best - and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.”

　　This advice is more relevant now than ever before, even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children, despite the current housing crunch.

　　A. remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.

　　B. says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.

　　C. advises that home purchases should not be based only on children's opinions.

　　D. thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.

　　E. notes that aspects like children's friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.

　　F. believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children's needs rather than their opinions.

　　G. assumes that many children's views on real estate are influenced by the media.

　　41. 【題干】Ryan Hooper_____.

　　【選項】

　　A.A

　　B.B

　　C.C

　　D.D

　　E.E

　　F.F

　　G.G

　　【答案】A(remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children)

　　【解析】題干考察Ryan Hooper的觀點，回文定位Ryan Hooper這個人說的話，一共兩句，很多同學容易根據第一句話(第四段)誤選D選項。仔細觀察D選項，原文第四段說的是應該給孩子a sense of control and ownership, D選項說的是a sense of involvement，屬于偷換概念，因此排除;再看Ryan Hooper說的第二句話(第5段)，根據第二句話，得出A選項是Ryan Hooper觀點的等價代換，其中significant moves 對應原文中的significant moves，pose challenges to children就等于原文中的children may face serious difficulties. 故此題選A。

　　【選項】

　　A.A

　　B.B

　　C.C

　　D.D

　　E.E

　　F.F

　　G.G

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】題干考察Adam Bailey的觀點，回文定位Ryan Hooper這個人說的話在第七段，第八段。其實這兩句話意思幾乎一致，為同義復現，第七段中的 should feel like they are choosing their home 等同于第八段中的...will make them feel like they are being included in the decision-making process，D選項中的involvement 對應原文中的being included, in homebuying decisions對應原文的in the decision-making process. 故此題選擇D。

　　F.F

　　G.G

　　【答案】C

　　【解析】 根據人名“Tracy Hampson”定位至第十段，“Speaking with your children before you make a decision is wise, but I wouldn't base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.”這句話中的 wouldn't base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions是 should not be based only on children's opinions 的同義改寫。

　　【選項】

　　A.A

　　B.B

　　C.C

　　D.D

　　E.E

　　F.F

　　G.G

　　【答案】G

　　C.C

　　D.D

　　F.F

　　G.G

　　【答案】F
