24、 Are kids getting too much praise? Too much praise may be doing kids more harm than good.
A cover story in Scholastic Instructor magazine asks whether kids today are over-praised. The worry is that while trying to build up kids’ confidence (自信), parents are paying little attention to kids’ real goals and achievements. In a recent study, eighth graders in Korea and the United States were asked whether they were good at math. Among the American students, 39 percent said they were excellent at math, compared to just 6 percent of the Korean eighth graders. But the reality was kind of different. The Korean kids scored far better than the over-confident American students.
The disadvantage of too much praise is that kids may start to focus on the reward (奖励) rather than what they are learning. Worse, when a student fails, whose confidence comes from a blind sense of achievement rather than his or her real abilities, the result can be devastating (毁灭性). This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t praise our kids or that teachers shouldn’t try to build up their students’ self-confidence. But self-confidence should be the result of good grades and real achievements instead of empty praise from others.
Last month, Cognitive Daily reported that parents and teachers should be specific rather than general when they offer praise. An example of general praise is telling a child, “You’re smart.” Specific praise would be to say, “You did a good job on reading...”, or “You did great on your math test.” Kids who receive general praise about their abilities probably show “helpless” behavior when they meet with problems with learning, compared with kids who receive specific praise about their achievement on a task. The reason: a child who knows she’s a smart girl feel defeated (挫败的) if she has trouble reading a sentence. But a child who has been told she is a good reader will probably have confidence in that specific ability and work a little harder to deal with a more difficult book.
【1】The study of the eighth graders in Paragraph 2 shows that ________.
A.Korean students are over-praised so they got higher scores
B.American students are over-confident but they achieve less
C.American students are really good at math
【2】According to Paragraph 3. kids’ self-confidence should come from ________.
A.teachers’ love and support
B.what they are able to do well
C.a blind sense of achievement
【3】Which of the following is the best example about specific praise?
A.Mr. Miller told her daughter “You are a fantastic girl”.
B.The headmaster wrote to one of his students, saying “I am so proud of you”.
C.Your English teacher said to you, “Your writing has improved a lot because of practice.”
【4】Kids getting general praise will ________ in the face of problems with learning.
A.probably give up easily
B.encourage themselves to try again
C.work harder than before
【5】The writer of the passage means to prove that ________.
A.too much praise may be doing kids more harm than good
B.Korean students are less confident than American students
C.Achievement lies in self-confidence
25、If you go to London, you can see a lot of buses and cars on the roads. You can also see many bikes because more people go out by bike. Why? There are many reasons. First, it is very cheap to buy a bike. Second, people often need to wait for a bus for half an hour. Finally, when the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the roads. So the bus moves very slowly.
I go to work by bus for about four years. I often arrive at work late and feel tired. One day, a friend of mine says, “I go to work by bike. Why don’t we go to work together?” “My bike is old. I leave it at my home for a long time. And there are so many buses and cars on the roads.” I answer. “Don’t be afraid. If you follow me and we ride slowly, you’ll be fine.” He says.
Later, I buy a new bike. We ride slowly, but we arrive at work quickly. It takes me about 40 minutes to go to work by bus, but only half an hour by bike! Now I love riding a bike. And I feel healthy. Many people think my idea is good and maybe you can see more bikes on the roads in London.
【1】The writer tells us ________ reasons to explain(解释)why more people ride bikes to work.
A.two
B.three
C.four
D.five
【2】What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “follow”?
A.跟着
B.遵守
C.模仿
D.学习
【3】According to the passage, we know that ________.
A.the writer always feels very relaxed after taking a bus to work
B.the writer has a very expensive bike at home
C.the writer doesn’t want to ride his bike to work at first
D.the writer likes riding his bike very much at first
26、Active listening is a communication technique that includes carefully listening to the speaker, rephrasing (重新措辞) what you hear to be sure you got it right and then listening again for agreement or understanding. Some people think that it just means repeating what the other person said. 【1】.
The Art of Active Listening
When you are doing active listening, it will help you a lot to face the other person. 【2】 Clear your mind so you can understand what the other person is saying.
Next, rephrase what you heard, with tentative (试探性的) language since you don’t want to jump to a result. 【3】 Don’t simply repeat the same words because that may not actually show that you understand the meaning.
【4】 He may say, “No, that’s not it,” and catch what he exactly meant. In that case, you should continue active listening, and again rephrase the meaning. Repeat that process until you get agreement.
Understanding the Emotions (情绪)
During active listening, you can try to show the emotions behind the conversation. If a child is complaining about classmates laughing at him in school, you might say, “【5】” That gives the child a chance to correct you by saying, “No, I was angry!”
When both persons understand each other, you’re more likely to have pleasant communication going forward.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺,内容完整。
A.It’s not that simple, however.
B.I wonder if you felt embarrassed (尴尬的)?
C.You can use phrases like “It sounds like”.
D.Finally, listen carefully to what the other person says next.
E.Move forward a bit and make eye contact to show that you’re paying attention.
