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 400 fifth 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(zhì)) 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.”

1.

A. tired of being praised B. worthy of being praised

C. very proud of being praised D. extremely fond of being praised

2.

A. better-known B. better-organized

C. more persuasive D. more interesting

3.

A. praise for efforts should be more encouraged

B. praise for results works better than praise for efforts

C. praising a child’s achievements benefits his or her success in life

D. praising a child’s abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges

“Mobile phones killed our man，”screamed one headline last year．Also came statements that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss. And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly showing how mobile phones heat the brain．For anyone who uses a mobile phone，these are worring times．But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scared and you will hear a different story.

What we do have，however，are some results suggesting that mobile phones’emission(輻射) have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can’t be explained by the general radiation biology．And it’s only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we’ll be able to say for sure what moblie phones might be doing to the brain．

One of the strange effects comes from the now famous “memory loss” study Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device(裝置) that copied the microwave emission of mobile phones to the left ear of volunteers．The volunteers were all good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen．Preece says he still can’t comment on the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end．But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive(感知的) abilities．“I’m pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory，”he says．

Another expert，Tatterasll，remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss．One result，for instance，suggests that nerve cell synapses(神經(jīng)元突觸) exposed to microwaves become more—rather than less—receptive to under—going changes linked to the memory formation.

It would be an even happier outcome if microwave turned out to be good for you．It sounds crazy，but a couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California，found that mice exposed to microwave for two hours a day were less likely to develop brain tumours(腫瘤) when given a cancer—causing chemical．

So should we forget about mobile phone radiation causing brain tumours and making us unable to think clearly or reasonably?

“If it doesn’t certainly cause cancer in animals and cells, then it probably isn’t going to cause cancer in humans，”says William．And while there’s still no absolute evidence that mobile phone does damage your memories or give your cancer，the unanimity is：Don’t panic.

1.What worries people who use mobile phones?

A. Mobile phones will kill them.

B. Mobile phones cause memory loss.

C. Mobile phones heat the brain.

D. All above is right.

2.What is the attitude of Preece on the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our congnitive abilities?

A. Doubt.B. Disagree.C. Approve.D. Wait and see.

3.The underlined word “unanimity” in the last paragraph most probably means “________”.

A. consensusB. disagreementC. possibilityD. impossibility

4.From the fifth paragraph，we can infer that being exposed to microwaves for two hours ________.

A. can result in killing you

B. is likely to develop brain tumours

C. is unlikely to develop brain tumours

D. will cause your loss of memory for ever

Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 1.(help) if you say the words aloud. But this often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.

Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have come up 2.a new idea. They suggest 3.(draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!

The researchers did a study 4.(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 5.the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.

When the time 6.(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 7.they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 8.(good) job than those who wrote them.

So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 9.(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 10.(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.

As is known to us, some students cheat in exams at school. As students, we often take exams at school, sometimes we have many exams that is too difficult for us. In addition, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard on our lessons. So when taken exams, we sometimes cheat in order to get good results to make our parents and teachers pleased.

In my opinion, it was wrong to cheat in exams because it breaks the rules of the schools. Our students should be honesty and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in exams. What’s more, we should improve our method of study and make well preparations for exams. With the saying goes, “Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

Time:2017-01-24 From:kekenet.com Editor: clover

The head of China's largest online seller Alibaba does not think China and the United States will have a trade war despite comments from the Trump administration.

Jack Ma is the chairman of the Alibaba Group. At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, "China and (the) U.S. will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. He's open-minded, he's listening."

The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse.

Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small U.S. businesses to sell goods on Alibaba's online shopping platform.

During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese government's support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away U.S. jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan.

Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies.

According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, "American international companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization." He added that the U.S. should not blame the loss of jobs and companies on globalization.

However, a new study by an American business group says many U.S. businesses feel unwelcome in China. The companies say the cost of doing business in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way.

The American Chamber of Commerce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 companies.

William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American companies. He says, "we feel that over the last few years that we've been taken advantage of to some extent, with our open market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market."

Another major concern for U.S. companies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year.

Ma defended Alibaba's efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform. He said his company is doing all it can to fight the problem.

"Fighting against fake products is a war against human greediness," Ma said.

I'm Mario Ritter.

1.The underline phrase “The Chinese billionaire” refers to ________.

A. TrumpB. Jack MaC. Mario RitterD. Willian Zarit

2.The text likely take from the ________.

A. economic magazine

B. trade speech

C. website

D. global news

3.About this passage, the most suitable title is “________”.

A. Chinese Billionaire Does Not See China-US Trade War

B. The American international companies removed most tariffs on products traded between the U.S and China

C. Group says American businesses in China concerned

D. The war about fighting against fake products
