Being a good parent is, of course, what every parent would like to be. But defining what it means to be a good parent is undoubtedly very (1)_____, particularly since children respond differently to the same style of parenting. A calm, rule-following child might respond better to a different sort of parenting than, (2)_____, a younger sibling.

    (3)_____, there’s another sort of parent that’s a bit easier to (4)_____: a patient parent. Children of every age benefit from patient parenting. Still, (5)_____ every parent would like to be patient, this is no easy (6)_____. Sometimes parents get exhausted and frustrated and are unable to maintain a (7)_____ and composed style with their kids. I understand this.

    You’re only human, and sometimes your kids can (8)_____ you just a little too far. And then the (9)_____ happens: You lose your patience and either scream at your kids or say something that was a bit too (10)_____ and does nobody any good. You wish that you could (11)_____ the clock and start over. We’ve all been there. 

    (12)_____, even though it’s common, it’s important to keep in mind that in a single moment of fatigue, you can say something to your child that you may (13)_____ for a long time. This may not only do damage to your relationship with your child but also (14)_____ your child’s self-esteem.

答案精析：动词辨析题。空格所在句大意为：我可以向你保证：如果不断向着这个目标努力，你和你的孩子都将受益，并且会从压力中____，身心都会感觉良好。由空格所在句中的benefit和feeling better可知，空格处所表达的意思是从压力中解脱出来。emerge from表示“摆脱（困难或糟糕的情形）”，因此emerge填入空格符合语境，故B项正确。

错项排除：四个选项都可以表示“摆脱”的意思，但关键在于感情色彩不同。hide侧重于“隐藏”或“逃避”，withdraw侧重于“后撤”，escape则表示“逃脱”，三个选项都有“消极回避”的含义，而emerge有“迎难而上，找到解脱之道”的含义，因此A、C、D三项的感情色彩与上下文不符，故排除。

长难句分析：I can promise you this: As a result of working toward this goal, you and your children will benefit and emerge from stressful moments feeling better physically and emotionally.

本句中出现了表示解释说明的冒号，冒号前面的是一个简单句，结构为“主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语”；冒号后面是一个复合句。复合句句首是由As a result of引导的原因状语，you and your children作主语，will benefit and emerge作谓语。后面是一个由from引导的状语成分，表示范围，即“从压力中脱离”。在句子的末尾，由现在分词feeling做伴随状语，表示主语在完成一个动作之后又伴随着某种状态，其逻辑主语为you and your children。

句意为：我可以向你保证：不断向着这个目标努力的结果是，你和你的孩子都将受益，而且会从压力中解脱出来，身心都会感觉良好。
