CHICAGO ---Call it a reward, or just “bribery(賄賂)”.
Whichever it is, many parents today readily admit to buying off their children, who get goodies(好東西) for anything from behaving in a restaurant to sleeping all night in their own beds.
That’s what worries parenting experts.
“I think that reward systems have a time and a place and work really well in certain situations,” says Marcy Safyer, director of the Adelphi University Institute for Parenting.
“But what often gets lost for people is being able to figure out how to communicate to their kids that doing the thing is rewarding enough,” Safyer says.
Parents and experts alike agree that the dynamic(動力) is partly a reflection of the world we live in. It’s unrealistic to think a parent wouldn’t reward their children with material things sometimes, says Robin Lanzi, a clinical psychologist and mother of four who’s the research director at the Center on Health and Education at Georgetown University.
“But you want to make sure that they match the behavior, so it’s not something huge for something small,” Lanzi says.
She recalls hearing about a father who offered his child a Nintendo Wii game system for scoring a couple goals in a soccer game.
Elizabeth Powell, a mother of two young daughters in Austin, Texas, knows what she means.
“You want to raise them in a way that they’re respectful and appreciate things,” Powell says of her children. “But sometimes, you wonder now if kids appreciate even a new pair of shoes. ”
Parenting experts are worried that ____ .
A. today’s children are fed up with material things
B. parents are rewarding their kids improperly
C. today’s children are more and more demanding(苛求的)
D. there is lack of communication between parents and children
What Safyer says suggests that ____ .
A. reward systems are quite limited in developing abilities
B. reward systems work well regardless of(不管) time and place
C. reward systems are still not made full use of to develop abilities
D. reward systems are often used at the wrong time and place
What can we learn from what Robin Lanzi says?
A. She holds a different opinion from other parenting experts.
B. She thinks children can’t behave well without being rewarded.
C. She holds a similar belief to Safyer and gives further explanation.
D. She doesn’t believe in rewarding children for good behavior.
The father who offered his child a Nintendo Wii game system can be regarded as
_____.
A. over-rewarding his child
B. giving his child proper reward
C. respecting and appreciating his child
D. giving something small for something huge

第二節(jié)讀寫任務(wù)(共1小題,滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
In junior high school, one of my classmates, Ethan, was addicted to TV. This boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as Who’s the Boss?
Then one day Ethan’s mother made brim an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us thought Ethan could do it, but he did quite well. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the biggest he could find.
In recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with each for showing up or getting good grades. All school kids admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will. Psychologists warn that money can actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap. The debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should he despite decades of reforms and budget increases.
