According to tradition, during Easter （复*舌节）,everything gets whitewashed. Make sure to plan your next trip to Greece if you won't want to miss this interesting and unique tradition.Generally speaking, the main purpose of whitewashing is to protect the tree from heat andinsects. And few are as effective and accessible as whitewashing.When the tree is exposed to too much sun in the daytime, the tree cells become more active; however, the roots as well as the other unexposed areas of the tree remain inactive. If the water that the tree needs cannot be provided from the roots, the tree will have a dry surface. Once you whitewash them, the surfaces of young trees won't get dry easily.Pure white paint works efficiently when it comes to reflecting both heat and sunlight away from the tree. White paint allows the tree to spend more time taking in carbon dioxide (CO2). The more carbon dioxide the trees take in, the more energy they create. Gardeners whitewash trees not only fbr protecting their trees but also increasing fruit production.If the tree is suffering from being sunburned, the wound can also allow the insects to enter the inside of the tree. Moreover, relative diseases can affect how the tree grows. Whitewash prevents any access to the inside of the tree.Painting the trees white won't stop traffic accidents, but it can make them less frequent, because drivers can see the trees much more clearly, even during the night.8. For what reason do the people paint the trees white in Greece?A. To have the trees seen more clearly.B. To protect the trees from extremeheat.C.

A product advertisement.DWhen dealing with children, we find that the carrot is much more powerful than the stick. Children focus on tasks up to 30% more when teachers praise them for good behavior rather than punish them for being troublemaking. If they want to improve students' behavior in classrooms, the teachers should praise more and punish less.Unfortunately, previous research has shown that teachers tend to punish students fbr problem behavior more than they praise them for appropriate behavior, which can have an opposite effect and worsen students* behavior.Researchers attended 151 classes in 19 elementary schools across Missouri, Tennessee and Utah. During a three-year period they observed 2,536 students from kindergarten to sixth grade.The idea that praise can result in greater fbcus than punishment is not surprising.When kids receive praise, it activates certain feel-good chemicals in the brain. These chemicals can improve the functioning in the parts of the brain that are responsible fbr things like fbcus, attention, planning and problem-solving.Punishment has the opposite effect. When severe criticism or punishment is used, it can activate the part of the brain responsible fbr fear. When fear responses are activated, the chemicals can actually cloud the parts of the brain that are needed fbr focus.Researchers in the past have given a specific ratio of praise to criticism that leads to the greatest focus in classrooms, but what we found out was that there is no particular ratio. The higher the praise is, the better the results are.This study suggests that praise is an important tool for teachers and can help motivate students to work harder, especially children who are troublemaking in class or struggle academically. Using praise over criticism or punishment would have benefits outside of the classroom as well.Instead of punishment, constructive criticism can be used, but it should be balanced with praise in order to create a safe environment where kids are motivated to focus, learn and grow. 12. What does the underlined word "stick“ mean in Paragraph 1?A. A long thin branch from a tree.B. A piece of wood used fbr walking.D. Physical punishment or severeC. The wrong idea or misunderstanding.criticism.13. Whom did the researchers mainly choose to carry out their experiments according to the text?A. Elementary students.B. Kindergarten students.C. Middle school students.D. College students.14. What is inferred from the passage?A. Punishment can benefit the troublemaking students.B Praise can result in better focus and attention greatly. C. Praise may contribute to the students' impractical pride.D Punishment can force the students to concentrate better. 15. What is the writer's attitude towards criticism?A. Criticism is completely harmful to the children.B. It is impossible to know whether criticism is good.C. Used correctly, proper criticism is recommended.D. Criticism can be only used outside the classrooms.河南省新乡市2021-2022学年高一下学期期末考试英语试题第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AFour unusual festivals around the worldWife Carrying Competition-Sonkajarvi, FinlandAlthough the exact origins of the tradition are unknown because of its long history, but today, wife carrying is practiced around the world.
