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 studies

2.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 improve

3.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.The underlined word "it" in the third paragraph refers to 　　　 .

A.the effect B.the praise

C.the advantage D.the confidence

5.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.

As many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers.

They say the problem is growing.

Teenagers really don’t pay attention to how much noise they are exposed (暴露) to, Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston told Reuters. “Often people won’t notice it, but even slight hearing loss may affect language development,” said Shargorodsky, one of the researchers.

The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s. Each included a few thousand teenagers. In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss. Some 15 years later, that number had risen by a third, to nearly 20 percent.

“This certainly is big news,” said Alison Grimes, an ear doctor. Hearing loss is very common in old people, Grimes said, but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group.

In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to slow language development. The science is less clear for teenagers, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning, said Grimes,.

The reasons for the rise are still unclear. When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure – on the job, at school or from activities, for example – the teenagers didn’t report any change. But Shargorodsky said that might not be true. “We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure – they underestimate (低估) it.” Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 player, for example. “There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear,” said Grimes.

Although it’s not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers’ hearing loss, Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening.

1.According to the researchers, in a US class of 40 students, about ____ students have some degree of hearing loss.

A. one              B. five             C. six           D. eight

2.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?

A. Slight hearing loss does not influence learning.

B. Only a few old people have hearing problems.

C. Hearing problems can slow language development.

D. Noise exposure is clearly noticed by teenagers.

3.About hearing loss, it can be inferred that ________.

A. the reasons for the rise have been found           B. MP3 players are to blame

C. listening to loud music may be a cause            D. noise is the main reason

4.The article was written to ______.

A. warn teenagers that loud music might be harmful

B. explain what kinds of noises might affect studies

C. suggest that teenagers shouldn’t listen to loud music

D. show how important hearing can be for learning

If a business wants to sell its products internationally, it had better do some market research first. This is a lesson that some large American corporations have learned in the hard way.

What’s in the name?

Sometimes the problem is the name. When General Motors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin America, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish means “It doesn’t go”. Sure enough, the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin America.

Translation problems

Sometimes it is the slogan that doesn’t work. No company knows this better than Pepsi-Cola, with its “Come alive with Pepsi!” campaign. The campaign was so successful in the United States that Pepsi translated its slogan literally (按字面意思的) for its international campaign. As it turned out, the translations were not quite right. Pepsi was begging Germans to “Come out of the grave” and telling the Chinese that “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.”

A picture is worth a thousand words

Other times, the problem involves packaging. A picture of a smiling baby has helped sell countless jars of Gerber baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in African countries, the picture on the jar shows what the jar has in it, for many people there can’t read.

Twist of fate

Even culture and religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thorn McAn shoes have a Thorn McAn “signature” inside. To people in Bangladesh, which is a Muslim country, this signature looked like Arabic script for the word Allah. In that country, feet are considered unclean, and Muslims felt the company was offending God’s name by having people walk on it.

1.From the text we learn that ________.

A.Chevy Nova was brought in Latin America

B.General Motors did the best market research of all companies

C.Pepsi still sold well in China owing to the translation problems

D.the “Come alive with Pepsi” campaign worked well in the US

2.What was Gerber’s problem?

A.A translation problem. B.Cultural factor.

C.Religious factor. D.The picture on the jar.

3.For what reason were Thorn McAn shoes turned down in Bangladesh?

A.They are not designed attractively.

B.Their advertisements are not persuasive.

C.A signature looking like the word Allah was in the shoes.

D.Problem for Thorn McAn was the company’s name.

4.The intended readers of the passage are ________.

A.product advertisers B.market researchers

C.managers of Sales Department D.businesses to promote products abroad

5.What does the text mainly tell us?

A.Lessons from some large corporations. B.How to make use of advertisements.

C.The importance of market research. D.The importance of packaging

One day a mime(哑剧演员) is visiting the zoo and wants to make some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper drags him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.

The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep all as he likes, play and make fun of the people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — the job he likes but loses.

However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience(观众), he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lion’s cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.

At the end of the day he is given a pay raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime’s pay keeps going up.

Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified(吓坏). He starts screaming, “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”

1.How does the mime find the job dressing up as the gorilla?

A. Hard and tiring.   B. Dangerous.          C. Easy and fun.                 D. Boring.

2.The mime’s first contact with the lion is to __________.

A. find pleasure for himself                                    B. get the lion’s attention

C. get his pay raised                                                D. win back his audience

3.The underlined works “a fuel” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by __________.

A. frightening              B. common                         C. exciting                           D. familiar

4.From the last paragraph we can know that ___________.

A. the lion will eat the poor mime

B. the lion is also played by a person

C. the animals in the zoo are all played by people

D. animals played by people can attract more visitors
