Try not to staying up too late. Having enough sleep can make your brain to work better.

Nothing succeeds like success, as every parent of a straight-A student knows, but trying to highlight academic excellence by telling your child, "You're so smart," may be counterproductive（负效的）. Telling kids they're smart strengthens the idea that intelligence is a genetic gift rather than a skill that can be developed.
In a recent study, researchers at Michigan State University looked at 123 children who were about 7. The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a "growth mindset（思维模式）" (believing that you can work harder to get smarter), or a "fixed mindset"(believing that your intelligence is unable to change). They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded. In the task, children played a game, helping a zookeeper capture escaped animals by pressing the space bar when an animal showed up in their screen—unless it was a group of three chimps. During the recording, researchers noted that brain activity spiked within a half-second after making a mistake, as children became aware of their error and paid closer attention to what went wrong. The larger the brain response, the more the children focused on the error.
Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children with a "growth mindset" were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake, and in turn were more likely to improve their performance by paying closer attention to the task after making an error.
For parents, the lessons are clear: don't pay compliments(赞扬) that suggest that intelligence is fixed. If a child hands you an A+ test, don't say, "You're so smart!" Instead say, "Wow, that studying really paid off!" Note the effort, not the intelligence. Second, focus on using errors to work together and learn. "Many parents and teachers shy away from addressing a child's mistakes, telling them "It's OK. You'll get it next time." without giving them the opportunity to figure out what went wrong." Dr. Schroder says. Here are additional ways you can help enhance your child's education.
1.What can learn about children's mindset from the study?
A. Children are born with a fixed or growth mindset.
B. Children with a fixed mindset pay no attention to mistakes.
C. Children with a growth mindset are more likely to make progress.
D. Children with a growth mindset can catch more animals in the game.
2.Which of the following has the closest meaning with the underlined word in Paragraph 2?
A. started B. stopped
C. paused D. rose
3.What should parents say to children's performance according to the passage?
A. "You are so clever!" for excellence.
B. "It's not good enough." for excellence.
C. "You can benefit from it." for a mistake.
D. "It's OK. Forget about it." for a mistake.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Never Call Your Kid Smart
B. Always Be Strict with Your Kid
C. How to Communicate with Your Kid
D. How to Comment on Your Kid's Performance

More than 30,000 people went to the White House on Monday for the 136th Easter Egg Roll (复活节滚彩蛋). President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama held the event by inviting thousands of kids to color and look for eggs. The theme of the day was “Hop Into Healthy, Swing Into Shape.” It was part of the First Lady’s “Let’s Move!” program to reduce obesity rates (肥胖率) among American kids. Mrs. Obama spoke to young reporters about her goal to get children to eat right and keep moving.
“We are working to make sure that kids born today grow up healthy, learn how to have balanced meals, and get more physical activity into their lives,” she said.
Mrs. Obama said she wants children across the nation to understand that “exercise isn’t just hard work, it’s play. If you’re running around with your dog, you’re getting exercise. If you walk up the stairs, that’s exercise. But if you’re sitting in front of the TV or on a computer game, you’re not exercising.”
The First Lady said that for kids who have balanced meals most of the time, having a special snack, like chocolate, will not hurt. “And if you are active, you can splurge (挥霍) a little more,” she said. Mrs. Obama’s favorite “splurge food” is French fries. But she balances her splurging by exercising almost every day. She loves to play tennis and she practices yoga.
“A lot of kids look up to athletes, and I think it’s important for athletes to share their good habits,” Mrs. Obama said. “Kids aren’t just going to wake up and be LeBron James. He’s practicing and eating right and working out and training. Our athletes can be really good messengers to kids who look up to them — they can say to kids, ‘If you really want to be like me, then you really do need to eat your vegetables.’”
1.The purpose of the “Let’s Move!” program is to _____.
A. help kids keep healthy

A. can be fun to do
B. means hard work

D. requires special equipment
3.“Splurge food” is allowed to be eaten when _____.
A. you don’t hurt yourself
B. you have a special snack
C. you never eat French fries
D. you eat right and stay active
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. All kids want to be LeBron James.
B. It is very easy to form good habits.
C. Athletes can set a good example for kids.
D. Kids like the messages the athletes give them.
5.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?
