    The Power of Praise

    在日常生活和学习中，肯定和赞美的力量是巨大的。请描述一件你经历的类似的事情，并谈谈你的感受或看法。

    One possible version:

    Praise is like sunlight to our spirit. It gives us confidence and hope. However, this heavenly gift usually shows up unexpectedly.

    In junior high, it seemed fashion was never my cup of tea, for I had neither a lovely face nor an attractive figure. I found it boring and even heart-breaking to go shopping.

    The time came when we had to dress up for the prom. Unwillingly, joined my friends on the trip to Macy's. Unsurely, I tried on a bright violet flowered dress and stepped out of the dressing room. A good-looking lady was standing there. She glanced at me, smiled and said, “I love your dress." She had no idea how much her praise meant to me. These magic words touched my heart and I started to love my imperfect appearance.

    I appreciated that stranger's words of praise, which are not often heard. Now I keep reminding myself of the power of praise, even strangers, because we never know where it might lead.…

    In the Second World War ,some people didn＇t use gas made from petroleum （石油）in their cars .They made gas from wood and plants instead . The cars didn＇t go fast ,but they ran ,so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can＇t cut down all our trees to make gas; we need our trees for other things, too.

    One terribly cold day, a snowstorm hit our area. Needing firewood, I quickly set out with my best friend, Bruce, to look for a tree to cut down. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. (1) So to have a friend who could warn me of dangerso was important.
    When I chose a big 23-meter-tall tree and prepared to cut it down, Bruce suddenly warned me, “Don’t cut down that tree! It’s too close to the power line!” I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I couldn’t wait to finish the job and go back home. I began cutting down the tree. (2) When the tree fell, there was no longer any doubt whether my friend was right.
    The tree caught the power line, bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all, electricity can’t travel through wood. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree, pain ran up my arm and through my head. I had been shocked!
    After I returned home and told my mother what happened, she quickly called the power company. Workers from the power company soon arrived. One of them asked if I had touched the tree, and when I told him I had, his face turned pale. “You should have been killed,” he said. It was my boots that saved my life.
    (3)Within two hours, the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down——but not my mother. Even though she was glad that I wasn’t hurt, my mother was still serious with me. After all（毕竟）, I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.

    A famous study was done in a school by a professor （教授） from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

    　　What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachers’ attitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

    　　Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”

    　　Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it.” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude(态度) toward children.

    1.The professor started his research(研究)by _______.

    A. teaching the five children himself

    B. asking the five children to find a new teacher

    C. telling the five students to work harder than ever before

    D. telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class

    2.The five average students became top students mainly because of ________.

    A. the professor’s study              

    B. the teachers’ hard work

    C. the change in the teachers’ attitude       

    D. the change in the professor’s attitude

    3.Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny？

    A. To let us know how good his new teacher was.

    B. To show the importance of encouragement.

    C. To show that the boy was clever enough.

    D. To let us know the famous boy.

    4.The writer writes the passage mainly by ______.

    A. giving reasons and result               

    B. giving result and examples

    C. describing what he thinks               

    D. asking and answering questions

    5.What does the passage mainly tell us？

    A. If you want to get more，you should have new teachers.

    B. A professor’s study can help you score highest.

    C. Only teachers can make you a top student.

    D. Attitude and belief can change a person.
