8.Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

A.cause more problems in children

34.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB.
A.a good game plays a big role in training young minds
B.overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
C.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need

35.The last paragraph tells us thatC.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们介绍了研究表明,父母的教育方式对孩子有很大的影响,父母既应该培养孩子的独立性,也要适当的参与孩子的生活,才会让孩子拥有更好的学习和情感结果.

解答 32.D.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence"可知这类型的父母在孩子身上抱有期望,但同时也加以适度的关注并参与,故选D.
33.A.推理判断题.根据第二段"These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved",由此可推断控制型的父母所带出来的孩子通常在学业、心理、社交等方面都不如别的孩子,拥有更多的问题.故选A.
34.B.细节理解题.根据第四段中的praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence,可知过分表扬孩子反倒会动摇了他们的自信,由此分析,故选B.
35.C.细节理解题.由本文最后一段"It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children"可知父母应该让自己的孩子在错误中学习,从而得到自身的成长,故选C.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

3.Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten,according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.
   Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation(相关性) between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.
   In  1991,teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted(互动) with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting(激励),if they're helpful to others,whether they're good at understanding feelings,and if they can solve problems on their own.
  Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time,get a college degree,and find and keep a full-time job by 25.They also monitored the participants'involvement with crime,drug abuse,public assistance,and mental health issues.
The results showed that socially competent(有能力的)children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25  than those with  limited social skills.Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested,binge(放纵) drinking,and applying for public housing.
"This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future,"said Kristin Schubert,program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation,which funded the research,in a release.
"From an early age,these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison,and whether they end up employed or addicted."
 The good news,according to Damon Jones,lead author of the study,is that intervention(干预) at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills.
"This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on,"he said."But when combined with other research,it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in s chool,work,and life."
28.What has the 20-year study found?D
A.Most kindergartners can solve problems alone.
B.Helpful children understand other's feeling better.
C.Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.
D.Social skills play a key role in children's development.
29.Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about?C
A.when the researchers began their study
B.how long it took to complete the study
C.how the researchers conducted the study
D.what factors were studied by the experts
30.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?A
A.Teach them how to cooperate with others.
B.Teach them some basic living skills.
C.Tell them to keep off alcohol
D.Coach them in their lessons.
31.The text makes very good sense toB.
A.teenagers

13.Why does Facebook use blue as its primary branding color?According to The New Yorker,the reason is simple:it's because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind.As the Facebook CEO told the magazine,"Blue is the richest color for me-I can see all of blue."
While Facebook's choice of blue didn't come after extensive research,it's most likely not sheer coincidence that two other major social networking sites-Twitter and LinkedIn-also picked blue as their dominant color.
Blue is the color of the intellect,the mind,making it the color of communication.And when you think about social media,it's all about communicating.Besides,blue is the world's favorite color,multiple surveys have shown.Ask people their favorite color,and in most parts of the world roughly half will say blue,a figure three to four times the support for common second-place finishers like purple or green.The color is also associated with trust,honor and productivity,which constitute how a lot of businesses want to be perceived.
Another example is CocaCola.It's not by accident that its logo and cans have remained red for decades.The mention of the beverage probably had you think of red immediately,the most emotionally intense color associated with boldness,love and life.
The visual sense is the strongest developed sense in most human beings.Research has revealed that people make a subconscious judgment about a person,environment,or product within 90 seconds of initial viewing and that between 62 percent and 90 percent of that assessment is based on color alone.It's only natural that advertisers and marketers have spent vast amount of time and money in attempts to use color for the purpose of influencing consumers to use their services or buy their products
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
 
78.Why do some networking sites use"blue"as their dominant color?Because it stands for the intellect and the mind.
79.That businessmen are supposed to think carefully about the color they choose is thatit is associated with trust,honor and productivity.
80.According to the survey about their favorite color,roughly half in most parts of the worldsupport blue.
81.What is the main factor when people make a subconscious judgment?The main factor is based on color alone.
