【题目】For years we have been told that encouraging a child’s self-respect is important to his or her success in life. But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.
The implication(含义) of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class,” or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort, is that you love her only when she looks the best, scores the highest, achieves the most. And this carries over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carol Dweck, PHD, tested the effects of over-praise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University. She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”.
“Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges,” says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They figure they’d better quit while they’re ahead.”
【1】The underlined words “Praise-aholic kids” refer to kids who are ______.
A. tired of being praised B. worthy of being praised
C. very proud of being praised D. extremely fond of being praised
【2】The author quoted Dr.Dweck’s words in the last paragraph in order to make the article ______.
A. better-known B. better-organized
C. more persuasive D. more interesting
【3】We can infer from the passage that _______.
A. praise for efforts should be more encouraged
B. praise for results works better than praise for efforts
C. praising a child’s achievements benefits his or her success in life
D. praising a child’s abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges
【答案】
【1】D
【2】C
【3】A
【解析】试题分析:本文讲述了在教育孩子方面存在的一个问题就是过度的表扬孩子会导致很多孩子特别喜欢被表扬,而带来了很多不好的东西。建议我们要多表扬孩子的努力,而不仅仅是表扬孩子聪明。
【1】D 推理题。根据前一句But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect.可知本句的Praise-aholic kids就是指那些被过度的表扬,也特别喜欢被表扬的学生。故D正确。
【2】C 推理题。根据文章最后一段Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges,” says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They figure they’d better quit while they’re ahead.”引用了斯坦福大学的Dweck教授的话正是为了证明这项研究成果的准确性。增强说服力。故C正确。
【3】A 推理题。根据文章倒数第二段最后3行. She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”.可知作者认为鼓励孩子更加努力要比鼓励他聪明更有说服力。故A正确。

【题目】Why do some people eat too much? Is it because they’re hungry? Or is there a scientific 【1】(explain)?
There are a number of theories to account【2】overeating. One factor depends on the time of day. “It’s all part of a routine,” says Randy Seeley,【3】professor of psychiatry in Cincinnati. “You’re hungry at noon because that’s the time you 【4】(eat)lunch for the past 100 days.” Another reason we may eat more than necessary is that the body needs to satisfy a salt and sugar balance. Drinking alcohol also increases appetite, because the body wants something 【5】(absorb) the alcohol.
【6】(basic), overeating can also be a question of more biological factors. For instance, your body temperature can tell your brain that you feel hungry. “Your body temperature【7】(drop) when it’s time to eat, and eating warms you up,” says Gina Harlow, a paediatrics professor at Harvard University. Also, the smell of certain foods can make us imagine subconsciously the pleasure of eating【8】. Harlow adds, “If you know you love French fires, 【9】(smell)them will make you want to eat them because you know how good they are,【10】 can lead to eating too many.”
So, the next time you realize you’ve eaten too much, don’t worry about it. You can always blame it on science.

【题目】Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment(环境). “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices .
Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling(回收利用) programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .
Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program.” Until we do that, nothing else will change!” say Bruce Anderson.

【题目】It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.
It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern,by observing our own behavior.We can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior?If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.
Moreover,we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.
Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice:"We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
【1】According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to______.
A. determine one's behavior B. reflect one's taste
C. influence one's surroundings D. result from one's habits
【2】Which of the following would Daryl Bern most probably agree with?
A. The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.
B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.
C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.
D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.
【3】What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.
B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.
C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.
D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.
【4】What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?
A. Personalities and attitudes.
B. Preferences and habits.
C. Behavior and personalities.
D. Attitudes and preferences.

【题目】Fewer Americans are reading newspapers and more Americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country,according to a survey.
Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet,while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Center's survey on the ways of getting news said. Pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online,but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.
“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However,they are older.” the survey said.
Pew found that the largest group of news consumers — 46 percent of those surveyed — watch television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest,with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.
The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group,at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.
The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.
【1】We can find this passage most probably ________.
A. in a textbook
B. in a government report
C. in an advertisement
D. on the Internet
【2】According to the passage, people who like getting news online are ________.
A. younger B. older
C. poorer D. richer
【3】According to the passage, Net consumers and integrators ________.
A. are mostly old people

C. also like reading newspapers
D. must have their own computers

A. Advice on how to choose which media to get news.
B. Many people get their daily news on the Internet.
C. TV remains top source of news even as online grows.
