【解析】

试题分析：有报告说家长靠着给孩子钱进而让孩子取努力地学习，这是错误的观点。研究者建议孩子应该更努力地学习，相信接受教育是他们实现自己梦想的途径，而不是借助于家庭背景和金钱等。应该教会孩子如何去学习，这才是最重要的。

1. Say后面跟的是that从句，动名词形式作主语。A new report says_____(承诺)children money does not help exam grades．新的报告说承诺给孩子钱并不利于考试分数。

2. could be a w of money using cash to get kids to study more．那给钱让孩子去更好更多地学习就是一种金钱的浪费，所以填waste名词。

3. taking kids on a trip somewhere nice could encourage them带孩子去某些好的地方去旅行可以鼓励……，前文中提到金钱不会利于孩子，而这里是有益于孩子的，所以这里表示转折。

4. do better at sch001后文中有do better，和and前的内容应是同级的，所以填harder表示更努力的。

5. do better at sch001．Of 10,000 pupil_________ (调查)in the research.这里用survey的过去分词作research内容的定语。

6.

7. education is a way to a ,their dreams,教育是实现他们梦想的方法。Achieve their dreams实现他们的梦想。

8. there are other kids who think one’s efforts make little d , 但是有些别的孩子认为每个人的努力几乎没有差别。Make little difference几乎没有什么不同。

9. of后面直接跟名词genes，表示因为，由于……. These kids might think exam success is because___________ genes and their family background．孩子可能认为考试成功是因为基因和他们的家庭背景的不同。

10. really m is how students are taught真正的重要的是如何教孩子。
