"Wow, you got an A without even studying．"
"Your drawing is wonderful --you"re my little Picasso．"
If you"re like most parents, you offer praise to your children believing it is the key to their success．But according to a new study, praise may do more harm than good．
For the study, after a simple IQ test, one group was told it did really well and must be very smart．The other group was told it did really well and must have worked hard． One group was praised for intelligence, .
Asked if they wanted to take a slightly harder test, the kids praised for their intelligence were unwillingly．Of those praised for their effort, however, 90 percent were eager for a more challenging task．And on a final test the effort group performed significantly better than the group praised for its intelligence．
Many of the kids who had been labeled "smart" performed worst of all．The "hard workers" got the message that they could improve their scores by trying harder, but the "smart" kids believed they should do well without any effort．Thus, kids who get too much praise are less likely to take risks, are highly sensitive to failure and are more likely to give up when faced with a challenge．
Tips for Parents:
◆Avoid labels．Praising for effort sends the message that your child has the power to improve and change．Be mindful of labeling yourself and others．
◆Teach kids from an early age that the brain is a muscle that can be strengthened with practice．This sends the message that kids can directly affect their intelligence．
◆Parents often praise their kids to make themselves feel good, or to protect their kids from failure．But it"s vital for parents to help their kids to learn to deal with setbacks and to help them focus on ways to improve．
小题1:What is the best title of the passage? （ Please answer within 10 words．）
小题2:Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
As a result of much praise, kids will lack enough courage to risk and face failure and a challenge．

［1］Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method．Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country?
［2］The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious．Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country．You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go．Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people．In Italy,it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower．
［3］On the other hand,              staying at home to study．You don’t have to make big changes to your life．As well as this,it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK．If you have a good teacher in Italy,I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school．
［4］So,in conclusion,I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK．This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only（可行的）viable option．The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities:to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class．

［1］When we were children, it seemed that father knew everything. When we grew up and father became older, sometimes we quarreled about our own views. So I try to get on well with father.
［2］Remember the age of father. Being aware of father’s age will help us to understand him better. He has lived in the years when attitudes towards matters, such as poverty, unemployment, higher education, were quite different from those in our time. Thus it is impossible for him to change mind totally.
［3］Listen to father. As we grew up, what our father has told us often sounds not sophisticated(圆滑的)enough from the world we live in today. Yet I have found that sometimes the words that my father told me long time ago are remarkably useful. If

father knows we respect his point of view, even if we do not share it, it will help him feel close to us.
［4］Remember that father has a past. When he was young, he lived a hard life. He came from remote village. How to stay in a strange city and how to earn money are problems he met first. He must work hard and face all kinds of difficulties. Full of wisdom, courage and hope,
                    at last. It is a part of his life that must have affected him deeply.
［5］Accept personality from father. Most of us have mixed feelings about taking after our father. We might feel fine about it when we are considering his admirable qualities. But we have realized that we and our fathers share those characteristics we do not admire. Accepting what we have inherited(继承)is important.
［6］Adopting any approach to get on well with our father is the issue of how we manage ourselves. We should keep a sense of humor with our father. Remember we will have our own child and surely we will be parents. Accepting and understanding our father is a part of our life.

〔1〕Too much TV-watching can harm children’s ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children．
〔2〕One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders．Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedrooms TVs．
〔3〕A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood．But the results don’t prove that TV is the cause and don’t rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters（年轻人）may watch lots of TV．
〔4〕Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15．Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood,___________ more than 2½ hours for those who had no education beyond high school．
〔5〕In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest．
〔6〕While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn’t have TVs in their bedrooms．

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .
According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person’s message. Intonation (语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal(not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate “OK” with their thumb and fore-finger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means “money” to the Japanese and “zero” to

the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.
Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about — space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有义务的) to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.
Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That’s why it’s possible to “read someone like a book”.

阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题。（注意问题后的词数要求）
[1] Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
[2] People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents ______________________. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
[3] Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
[4] The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
[5] Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.
[6] The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
[7] Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent

swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
[8] Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
