阅读理解     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 (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect
(影响) if it is given equally to all students.
     "It"s important to tell children the truth about what they"ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) 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."1. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praise
B. increase self-confidence
C. become strong
D. do better in their studies2. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______. A. make them live more happily
B. let them do more difficult work
C. help them do better in school
D. encourage them to improve3. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.
B. Children don"t know what they"re really good at.
C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children"s strengths. 4. What is the last paragraph about?A. It"s important to have the habit of praising children.
B. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D. What children with high self-confidence are like.

举一反三

阅读理解     Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar,
the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ 1_
     First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all
learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
     __2_  The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
     Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited
understanding. __3__
     Here is some of the advice I give my students:
     ●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
     ●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
     ● Do not translate everything into your native language.
     ● ___4__ Don"t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
     ● Listen to something you enjoy.
     I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the
beginning, when I didn"t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually
resulted in confusion.   _5_   Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.
Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn"t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A. But you can"t follow a native English speaker at all!
B. What should you do?
C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

阅读理解     Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. I and many others have followed his
lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were "passion",
"focus" and "delegate" and I stayed true to them. This year, 2012, my goals are more personal and less
professional.
     FOCUS
     Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I"m too much of a multitasker. The
problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me.  When I was working as
a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, which kept me organized. This year I"m going to
have each task scheduled. I"m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
     HEALTH
     I get so busy taking care of everyone else, I forget to take care of myself and this has to change.  My
health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check, not only for me-but because I
promised my 9-year-old son. I"ll make sure to take time to exercise every day and make good food and
lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it"s time to get it back.
     CELEBRATE
     What good is having it all if I"m not taking time to enjoy it?I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and
so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our
first vacation in four years, the best thing I"ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I"m
making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.
     Do you have any words for 2012?

1. The underlined word "multitasker" probably refers to a person who________.

A. makes a living by writing
B. always fails to finish a task on time

2. Why does the writer have "health" as one of his three words?

A. He wants to take better care of others.
B. He"s gaining weight and feeling bad.
C. He did not take any exercise in the past.
D. He got the idea from his son.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The word "celebrate" can remind the writer to enjoy life.
B. The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.
C. The word "focus" can help the writer focus on his family.
D. The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise.

4. The best title for the passage might be________?

A. Three Words for 2012
B. Health Should Go First
C. Keep Organized
D. Goals for 2012

阅读理解Speak, speak, speak!
     Practise speaking as often as you can. Speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can.
     Compare your pronunciation with the master version(原版)to see how you can do better and have
another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each time is better than last.
Why not learn with someone else?
     It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study
with you, it will make you keep working.
Don"t get stuck by a word you don"t know.
     Practise improving ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地),even
if you don"t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have
spare time. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to make yourself understood.
Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)．
     Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren"t expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will
most probably understand something new each time.
Build up your vocabulary.
     A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don"t try to learn too much at once.
It"s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and
learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, and then come back to them later.
And above all, have fun!1. What"s the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us the importance of practicing speaking as often as we can.
B. To tell us a few tips to help us learn a new language well.
C. To tell us that guesswork is an important way to learn a new language.
D. To tell us that a wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning.2. What"s the meaning of the underlined phrase in the first part?A. Have another try or attempt.
B. Move away from a place to another.
C. Enter a certain state or condition.
D. Follow or take a certain course.3. To learn English well, we shouldn"t _______ according to the passage.A. practice speaking as often as possible
B. study frequently, for short periods of time to build up our vocabulary
C. try to understand everything and stop when we meet a new word
D. try to persuade a friend or family member to study with us4. According to the passage, to learn a new language well, the most important thing is ______.A. speaking as much as possible
