(4)推理判断题。根据第四段Begin by helping your child learn sympathy ("Ben is crying.What's making him so sad?")(首先帮助孩子学会同情((本在哭。是什么让他这么伤心?"))以及then suggest how he could resolve the problem ("Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.")(然后建议他如何解决这个问题("如果你让他打球,也许他会感觉好些。"))可知,这些引用是通过举例说明这两个建议:帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题,故选B项。
