About 94 percent of parents use some form of physical punishment to teach their two­year­olds right from wrong, according to research studies. But psychologists say it could lead to later emotional and behavioral problems. Even children who were only spanked some of the time are more likely to show signs of sadness or have less confidence. “The key is to be fair and do the same thing each time. Doing something like hitting a child that seems cruel at best doesn't help and can put a child at risk for problems，” said Dr Paul Frick, of the University of New Orleans in Louisians. “It is better to use other punishments，” he added. The use of physical punishment to teach children has long been debated. In countries such as Austria, Finland, Germany and Sweden, it is illegal to use physical punishment at home or in schools. Frick and his team, who studied the effects of physical punishment on 98 children, said they couldn't find any positive effects. Some children learned more from the hitting than what the parent was trying to teach them. “The key is to have a lot of different forms of punishment depending on the age of the child，” said Frick, who reported his findings in the Journal of Applied Child Psychology. He recommended timeout for younger children and taking away television and electronic toys for older children. Giving extra chores can also get the message across. Other measures are at least as effective as physical punishment and have less harmful potential consequences. The researchers kept children whom they thought were at risk of later conduct problems out of the test and an equal number of other children who acted as a control group, to study what measures would be most helpful. They questioned the parents and the children about positive and negative parenting behavior including the use of physical punishment. “We got it from both viewpoints，” said Frick. He added that children on the receiving end of a hit can learn that when they are upset and angry they hit, rather than understanding their behavior was wrong and that they need to do better.1.

Switching TV channels.3. What should be kept in mind when disciplining a kid? A. How he or she usually behaves. B. Tell them why they are punished. C. Use different forms of punishment each time. D. Be fair and stick to the same principle.4. According to the passage, why did Dr Frick advise against physical punishment? A. Because the children may take hitting people as a solution to problems. B. Because the children will learn their behavior is wrong in time. C. Because it is illegal to use physical punishment in certain countries. D. Because parents think it's the easiest way to teach kids right from wrong.答案与解析：对于如何对待犯错的孩子这个问题人们看法不一，然而一项调查表明，比体罚更有效的做法是timeout, extra chores与taking away privileges。1C推理判断题。结合全文尤其是文章第一段给出的调查结果可知，本文的中心是如何惩罚犯错误的孩子，因此选项C正确。2D细节理解题。根据文章倒数第六段中的“He recommended timeout for younger children and taking away television and electronic toys for older children. Giving extra chores can also get the message across.”可知，转换电视频道不是他们给出的惩罚孩子的建议。3D细节理解题。根据文章第四段首句“The key is to be fair and do the same thing each time.”可知惩罚孩子时关键要做到公平和原则一致。选项C与本句矛盾。4A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“. learn that when they are upset and angry they hit.”可知，体罚会让孩子采用错误的处事方法，即会采用粗暴的方法。*结束 - 6 -
