Question

【題目】 According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.

Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children's self-confidence-the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job 'or 'nice work' whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.

Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child's advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.

"It's important to tell children the truth about what they've done. Honest feedback（反饋）is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That's just how the world is."

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章講述了過(guò)多表?yè)P(yáng)孩子沒(méi)什么好處，成人應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)孩子繼續(xù)提高，誠(chéng)實(shí)地表?yè)P(yáng)孩子，告訴他們錯(cuò)在什么地方。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best.”（如果大人表?yè)P(yáng)孩子做的每件事，就會(huì)讓孩子一直在尋找表?yè)P(yáng)，而不是盡力做到最好。），可知如果成人過(guò)多表?yè)P(yáng)孩子，孩子就會(huì)一直尋找表?yè)P(yáng)。故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“"Teachers should not say things like 'good job 'or 'nice work' whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.”（“老師不應(yīng)該在孩子做任何事情時(shí)說(shuō)“干得好”或“干得好”。他們應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)他們繼續(xù)提高，”一些研究人員建議。），可知研究人員建議成人應(yīng)鼓勵(lì)孩子繼續(xù)提高。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中的“Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.”（如果表?yè)P(yáng)對(duì)所有學(xué)生都一視同仁，它也會(huì)失去作用。），可知相同的表?yè)P(yáng)對(duì)孩子沒(méi)有意義。故選C項(xiàng)。

【4】

指代猜測(cè)題。由倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.”（如果表?yè)P(yáng)對(duì)所有學(xué)生都一視同仁，它也會(huì)失去作用。），可知it在這里指代Praise（表?yè)P(yáng)）。故選B項(xiàng)。

【5】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段中的“"It's important to tell children the truth about what they've done. Honest feedback（反饋）is far better than empty praise," Duke adds.”（“告訴孩子們他們所做的事情的真相是很重要的�！罢\(chéng)實(shí)的反饋遠(yuǎn)勝于空洞的贊揚(yáng)，”杜克補(bǔ)充道。），可知我們應(yīng)該誠(chéng)實(shí)地表?yè)P(yáng)孩子，告訴他們錯(cuò)在哪里。故選C項(xiàng)。
