专题检测卷(十六) 阅读理解(建议用时: 25分钟)A体裁议论文话题性格和行为的成因词数369(2013·潍坊模拟)People have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. Its not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture. Those who support the“nature”side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined(注定)to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts(本能). Proponents of the“nurture”theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli(something that helps sb. /sth. to develop better and more quickly)as the basis of their behavior. The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the United States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some“nature”proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do. Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain. 1. The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem.

He may say he doesnt care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending its not there. Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesnt matter! ”Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “Im going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school. ”If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc. There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider. When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends. What you can do is give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build a real friendship of his own. 6. A child who has been informed of being“uncool”may. A. care nothing about itB. do something uncool on purposeC. develop a sense of angerD. pretend to get hurt very much7. A teacher can help an unpopular child by.

But the way you quit can have a long term impact on your career. How to resign on good terms: Be prepared. Review your employee handbook or employment contract before announcing your decision, so you know what company policy is regarding resignations, severance, the return of company property and pay for unused vacation time. If you have another job lined up, be sure to have your offer in writing before you resign. Use it or lose it. If you havent used vacation time and will lose it if you quit, you might want to use your time before leaving or link it to your resignation date. But if you dont want to burn any bridges, dont take vacation and announce your departure just after you return. Make an appointment. Be formal and make an appointment with your boss. Prepare what you want to say. Be direct and be transparent. After the discussion, put your resignation in a hardcopy letter that includes your last day and any transitional help youve offered. Keep a copy. Two weeks advance notice is still standard but experts recommend offering more time if youve worked at the company for more than five years. You also need to be prepared to leave right away some companies require it. Scrub your digital footprint. Clear your browser cache, remove passwords to Web sites you use from work, such as your personal email or online bank account and delete any personal files on your work computer that arent relevant to work. Dont delete anything work related if youre required to keep it. Stay close. Consider joining an employee alumni association, which often serves as a networking group for former employees.
