It does not help them build self-confidence.Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children' s self-confidence the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. “Teachers should not say things like 'good job* or 'nice work, whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, “High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child, s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can. " Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students."It' s important to tell children the truth about what they, ve done. Honest feedback is far better than empty praise, “ Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not tel ling children when they* re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That' s just how the wor1d is.”According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children willA. become strongB. increase self-confidenceC. do better in their studies D. always look for praiseIn order to help children build sclf-confidencc, some researchers advise teachers to.A. make them live more happilyB. let them do more difficult workC. encourage them to improveD. help them do better in schoolWhich of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B. The same praise for all children has no meaning.C. ChiIdren don' t know what they* re really good at.D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children, s strengths.60. What is the last paragraph about?A. What children with high self-confidence are like.B. It' s important to have the habit of praising chiIdren.C. ChiIdren should know their mistakes as soon as possible.D. Wc should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.BTwo weeks ago, a 5-ycar-old girl named Sunshine Oelfke emptied out her piggy bank （存钱罐）onto the living room floor and immediately started counting. Her grandmother, Jackie Oelfke, thought she was playing as she carefully 1ined up the coins, but then she saw the girl put the coins into a plastic bag and place i t i n her backpack.“That aroused my curiosity, “ Jackie told CBS News.

A Moved GrandmotherB. Smal1 Coins, Big DeedsD. Piggy Bank and Carton MilkChristian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ （细菌）caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens.He didn' t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice（精炼米）.When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Ei.jkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins. The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actual ly removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person t s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don' t, they can also take vitamin pills.28.

We can learn from the passage that_.A. beri-beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn' t like vitaminsC. Christian Eijkmanf s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese* s disease was caused by a kind of germDShould we al low modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasonsfor example, economic reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical bui Idings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view, new architectural （ 建筑上的）styles can exist perfectly well alongside an olderstyle. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not influence its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt （破 坏）the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conser
