Question

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( 全面的) efforts, 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 overpraise on 400 fifth grades while she was at Columbia University. She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on the 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 efforts, so children are afraid to take on challenges, ” says Dweck, now at Stanford University. “They figure they’d better quit while they’ re ahead.”

【小題1】D 推理題。根據(jù)前一句But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect.可知本句的Praise-aholic kids就是指那些被過(guò)度的表?yè)P(yáng)，也特別喜歡被表?yè)P(yáng)的學(xué)生。故D正確。
【小題1】C 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段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.”引用了斯坦福大學(xué)的Dweck教授的話正是為了證明這項(xiàng)研究成果的準(zhǔn)確性。增強(qiáng)說(shuō)服力。故C正確。
【小題1】A 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段最后3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”.可知作者認(rèn)為鼓勵(lì)孩子更加努力要比鼓勵(lì)他聰明更有說(shuō)服力。故A正確。
