Many people like to eat at a favorite restaurant on their birthday. 小题1: Here are the tips about how to eat for free on your birthday.
Notice promotional (促销的) cards or signs at restaurants for their e-club or online notification of special offers. Sometimes it is called a birthday club. In some cases they ask for your email address and at other times, you register online from your own computer. 小题2:
If you don’t know whether your favorite restaurant has an e-club, look them up online. Just search their name if it’s a chain. Look over the webpage for anything that says SIGN UP or JOIN. It may call it an e-club.
You will receive e-mail advertisements from them. 小题3:If it asks for birthday and anniversary dates when you sign up, then the restaurant usually will send you a personal coupon and invitation for that event.
Check your e-mail the week leading up to your birthday. All the e-clubs that you signed up for will be sending their invitations.
Read the fine print on all the offers before deciding where to eat on your birthday. Some are only on the exact date. 小题4: There may be other requirements, like free dessert when you buy an entree (主菜).

Punishment is a term used to refer to any change that occurs after a behavior that reduces the likelihood that the behavior will occur again in the future. Punishment is focused on reducing or getting rid of unwanted behaviors. Punishment can be effective in some cases. 小题1: Prison is one example. After being sent to jail for a crime, people often continue committing crimes once they are away from prison.
Why is it that punishment seems to work in some instances, but not in others？Researchers have found a number of factors that contribute to how effective punishment is. First, punishment is more likely to lead to a reduction in behavior if it immediately follows the behavior. 小题2: It may help explain why sending people to jail does not always lead to a reduction in criminal behaviors.
Another factor is that punishment achieves greater results when it is consistently applied. 小题3: For example, people often continue to drive over the speed limit even after receiving a speeding ticket. Why? Because the behavior is inconsistently punished.
小题4: One of them is that any behavior changes that result from punishment are often temporary(暂时的). Perhaps the greatest one is the fact that punishment makes people not perform certain actions, but it does not actually offer any information about more appropriate or desired behaviors.
Another thing to consider about punishment is that it can have unintended and undesirable consequences. For example, approximately 75 percent of parents in the United States report hitting their children. 小题5: For this reason, psychologists suggest that any short-term gains from using punishment should be weighed because it may produce potential long-term consequences.
A．Punishment also has some notable disadvantages.
| B．Parents and teachers consider punishment an effective tool.
| C．Prison sentences often occur long after the crime has been committed.
| D．There are two types of punishment, positive punishment and negative punishment.
|
E. In fact, it can be difficult to administer a punishment every single time a behavior occurs.
F. However, you can probably think of situations where punishment does not reduce a behavior.
G. Researchers have found that this type of physical punishment can lead to antisocial behaviors among children. |
