5.For years we have been told that encouraging a child's self-respect is important to his or her success in life.But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.
The implication (含義) of saying"You are the prettiest girl in class,"or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort,is that you love her only when she looks the best,scores the highest,achieves the most.And this carries over to the classroom.
Social psychologist Carol Dweck,PhD,tested the effects of over praise on 400fifth graders while she was at Columbia University.She found that kids praised for"trying hard"did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being"smart".
"Praising attributes (品質) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality,and it devalues effort,so children are afraid to take on challenges,"says Dweck,now at Stanford University."They figure they'd better quit while they're ahead."

解答 29-31BAB
29 B 細節(jié)推理題,根據前一句But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect.但是兒童專家現在了解到太多的贊揚會導致負面的影響.可知本句的Praise-aholic kids就是指那些被過度的表揚,也特別喜歡被表揚的學生;故本題答案為B選項.
30 A 細節(jié)推理題,根據文章最后一段Praising attributes(品質) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality,and it devalues effort,so children are afraid to take on challenges,"says Dweck,now at Stanford University,"They figure they'd better quit while they're ahead."來自斯坦福大學的Dweck說贊揚的品質或能力做出了一個錯誤的承諾--成功會降臨到你身上因為你有那種品質而且它貶低了努力,因此孩子害怕接受挑戰(zhàn)""他們認為當他們進步時最好停止".可知引用斯坦福大學的Dweck教授的話正是為了證明這項研究成果的準確性.增強說服力;故本題答案為A選項.
31 B 細節(jié)推理題,根據文章倒數第二段最后一行.She found that kids praised for"trying hard"did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being"smart."她發(fā)現因為努力嘗試而得到贊揚的孩子在測試時比因為聰明而得到贊揚的孩子做得更好而且更有可能接受困難的任務".可知作者認為鼓勵孩子更加努力要比鼓勵他聰明更有說服力,因此本題答案為B選項.
點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
