小学生10分钟应用题系列答案科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：
Praise is like frosting(糖衣) on a cake. A little makes it taste better and too much will ruin everything. Kids need your encouragement and love it when you recognize their achievements. Just don't ruin their trust by leading them to believe every little thing they do is worthy of big cheers. When they grow up,they will find that they can't be accepted by society and probably think it is you who are making them so needy of praise.
Recently,I had the opportunity to observe a family,5-year-old Joshua and his parents,in action. They had arrived at my office about 15 minutes early,and having returned from lunch with a few minutes to spare,I was chatting with my secretary in the waiting room. As I was collecting my things to walk back to my office,I was taken aback by a series of Joshua's mother's comments. The kid was playing with some blocks on the floor,and Mom was giving a running commentary on his progress. “Oh,Joshua,that's such a nice stack (堆) of blocks. You are so smart!” followed by “What a great job. I couldn’ t have built that when I was your age." Then Dad added, “That's my boy”，which nearly caused my secretary to gag(使室息) .After all,the kid was 5 years old,and stacking up a few wooden blocks is not a great achievement. No wonder he was having problems following directions in school — no teacher would be able to give him the amount of attention and praise necessary to keep the child interested.
What is wrong with praising a child? Actually,it may cause a lot of harm if it is not given properly. Most parents believe that giving praise is like giving children healthy food such as calorie-free chocolate “ the more,the better. But praising children in certain ways may set them up to become praise junkies (成瘾者）一 expecting their parents or others to praise them for almost every act or feeling,rather than developing internal measurement for self-respect and feelings of achievement. Try to give praise only when necessary,no more and no less.

C. in the early afternoon
D. in his own office
3. The underlined words “taken aback” can best be replaced by.
A. shocked B. confiised
C. attracted D. encouraged
4. The family hoped the author could .
A. teach Joshua about blocks
B. help solve Joshua's problems
C. get in touch with Joshua's teachers

Isabella Milbank
People often comment that Tve always got my head in a book. I just find that reading is such a great way to pass boring moments. I '11 read almost anything,but on the whole,I am likely to go for books that have received praise from a newspaper or magazine. And I guess I 'd have to say that my favourite kinds of books are modem thrillers(惊险小说) . The very best ones are those that keep you guessing right up until the end.
Henry Crawford
I read modem novels,but generally,I prefer the classics,by authors like Dickens and Eliot,for example. However,no one compares to Jane Austen!People are often surprised when I tell them that Jane Austen is my favourite author because they think she only wrote romantic(浪漫的) novels. Her books do deal with love and marriage,but on the whole,they5 re actually more about general relationships and human nature.
Emily Hawthorne
I used to read a lot of romantic novels. Now, I'm interested in biographies(传记) .I ve read about many different kinds of people. I enjoy autobiographies,too,but I sometimes wonder how true a picture they actually paint. I mean,if you wrote about yourself,you'd probably try to leave out anything that showed you in a bad light. In this case you,re more likely to get a more rounded picture of a person by reading a well-researched biography,jIan Reed

You can learn quite a lot about the world by reading these kinds of books.
