【题目】In a typical business situation, women, find themselves bumping their heads on "glass ceiling", a barrier to their career which may be impossible to break

A.as they might tryB.try as they might

C.hardly as they tryD.as they try very hard

【答案】B

【解析】

考查部分倒装及副词辨析。句意:在一个典型的商业环境中,虽然女性有可能努力尝试打破职场上的“玻璃天花板”,这是职场上的一道无法逾越的障碍。hard为副词时“努力地,艰难地”,而“hardly”意为“几乎不”。本句是说女性努力尝试打破这个障碍,所以不能用hardly,用hard 分析句子可知,本句前后两句是转折关系。当as译为“尽管”时,只用于倒装语序结构中,语气强于 although though。这种倒装常把副词置于as引导的从句的句首。如Hard as he works, he can't support his family.尽管他工作努力,可还是无法养活一家人。分析可知只有B项正确。故选B

Before I went to Yunnan to attend a teaching activity, I had wondered what music to bring into the mountains to share with the children there. Music is an universal language, that is the best way to communicate with the children there. And I was afraid that the children would be too shy not to sing a song.

However, when I arrived, I found there was nothing to worry. They were extreme energetic during my class. I choose a famous song by Jay Chou “Fragrance of Rice”, tell the children whatever happened, their family would always be there for them. They should cherish anything and try their best to overcome difficulty in their life.

【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words, Use your own words as far as possible

Parents everywhere praise their kids when they do well in school, win a ball game, or build an impressive sandcastle, anything that seems to be something "remarkable". Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be stricter." giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they're building their children's confidence

In fact they may he wrong. Too much praise can make kids afraid to try new, things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents praise has put them. Still, not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they're not good enough and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments

So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused an the effort - mot the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. "We should especially recognize our children's efforts to put themselves and work hard to achieve a goal, says Donahue, author of parenting Without Fear, "Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he's out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses."

Praising the effort can also mean you need to identify the part where your kids make special

efforts in a particular scenario(情景). Instead of saying, "you are such a good baseball player", say, "you hit the ball really hard. You are an excellent first baseman. "Being specific is much better and helps kids identify with their special skill, Donahue says
