4.Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail.Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s hastily making table as ―Perfect! even though it couldn’t stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time —and that it’s possible to enjoy a game even when you don’t win. A child who’s not invited to a birthday party, who doesn’t make the honor roll or the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, ―It doesn’t matter because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment —and be helped to master it.Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you can learn to use it. Step one is to ask ―Why did I fail? Control the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. Second, is the goal you’re to reach the right one? Think about this question. ―If you dosucceed in this, where will it get me? This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyhow. The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that it’s part of life. Learn to ―live with yourself even though you may have failed. Remember, ―You can’t win themall.(1) The main idea of this passage is ().A、why people are afraid of failureB、the trouble with failure prevention methodsC、how to deal with failureD、both A and C(2) According to the passage, which of the following is not true?A、Most parents think failure may hurt their children.B、Most parents do not want their children know they have failed.C、A mother describes her child’s work ―perfect because she didn’t want to hurt him.D、If a child fails a subject, he should blame his teacher.(3) According to the writer, ().A、parents should tell their children to think nothing of not being chosen into a baseball teamB、children should be encouraged to get rid of disappointment all by themselvesC、parents should judge what their children have done as it isD、children should learn to enjoy a game that they won’t win(4) The last paragraph tells us ().A、there are three methods to deal with failureB、there are some methods to deal with failureC、failure is not enjoyableD、failure is part of life(5) ―Live with yourself in the last line may mean ().A、to tolerate yourself when you failB、to face failures all by yourselfC、to live in a house aloneD、to support yourself when you fail

  • 第1题:

    Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.

    Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.

    Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.

    Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.

    Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it

    A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.

    B. Television has much influence on children.

    D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.

    2). In what ways do children suffer from television?

    A. They become the victims of social violence.

    B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.

    C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.

    D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.

    3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______

    A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising

    B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers

    C. commercials help to sell products

    D. they don’t like commercials

    4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____

    A. it does have the same commercials as others

    B. it offers programs for both children and their parents

    C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children

    5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

    A. Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.

    B. Television Is More Harmful than Educational.

    C. Television’s Influence on Children.

    D. More Education Television.

  • 第6题:

    Passage Two

    Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American par- ents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior. will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may con- cern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sexual behav- ior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adoles- cents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents' expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents' values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.

    40. According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect ______.

    A. feelings of hatred

    B. power struggle

    One-third of Parents Lack Facts about Child Development
    One-third of parents of babies have a surprisingly low knowledge of child development,in-cluding basic concepts about what their children should know or how they should act,a new study finds.
    For instance,the study found that many parents don't know that 1 -year-olds can't tell the difference between right and wrong,and often don't cooperate or share when playing with other children.
    The results are surprising because the parents who took part in the survey had young chil-dren,said lead author Dr. Heather Paradis,a pediatric fellow at the University of Rochester Med- ical Center in New York.“They were watching or had just watched their kids go through this de-velopment,and they were probably the most knowledgeable of anybody.”
    Paradis and her colleagues examined the results of a survey of parents—98 .6 percent of whom were mothers—of more than 10,000 9-month-old babies.As part of the survey,the parents were asked 11 questions designed to test their knowledge of a baby's development.
    The researchers also examined what the parents said about their interactions with their chil- dren,and watched videotapes of how the parents taught new things to their kids.One-third of those surveyed incorrectly answered four or more of the questions .Even when the researchers ad-justed the statistics to account for such factors as education levels and income,those parents were still less likely to enjoy“healthy interactions”with their children.
    A lack of proper understanding of a child's development can cause assorted problems,Para- dis said. For example,she said,a mother might expect an 18-month-old child to sit still for a doctor's appointment,even though children that age are normally curious and like to wander around.
    “A mom could misinterpret a child's normal curiosity as intentionally being defiant,and could respond with harsh discipline,withdrawal of affection and repetition of that pattern over time,”Paradis said.“That could hinder the child's potential for full growth and development.” The findings were to be presented Sunday at the Pediatric Academic Societies' meeting in Honolulu.
    One solution,Paradis said,is for pediatricians to take a more active role in educating new parents.“By improving knowledge of child development among all parents,not just those who are at highest risk,there's an opportunity to enhance parent-child interaction,”she said.“It can ul-timately lead to better parenting.”

    Most American families are nuclear rather than extended ones.
    A: Right
    B:wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    才良据第一段第一句“One-third of parents of babies have a surprisingly low knowledge of child development”可知,只有1/3的婴儿父母儿童发育知道很少。因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    根据第二段“…that 1 -year-olds can't tell the difference between right and wrong. ”可知,题干叙述正确,选A。


    根据第四段“…the parents were asked 11 questions designed to test their knowledge of a baby's development.”可知,参与调查的父母被问了11个关于儿童发育的问题。故选A。


    文章并未提到题干所述信息。


    文章并未提到题干所述信息。


    根据第七段的“…a mother might expect an 18-month-old child to sit still for a doctor's appointment,even though children that age are normally curious and like to wander around.”可知,一岁半的儿童通常很好奇并喜欢到处跑,而不是坐着不动。故本题选B。


    根据最后一段的“…there's an opportunity to enhance parent-child interaction.”可知,亲子互动有机会提升。故本题选B。

  • 第13题:

    In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.

    Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents' divorce.

    A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.

    The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

    Practice 4  The line of demarcation between the adult and the child world is drawn in many ways. For instance, many American parents may be totally divorced from the church, or entertain grave doubts about the existence of God, but they send their children to Sunday school and help them to pray. American parents struggle in a competitive world where sheer cunning and falsehood are often rewarded and respected, but they feed their children with nursery tales in which the morally good is pitted against the bad, and in the end the good inevitably is successful and the bad inevitably punished. When American parents are in serious domestic trouble, they maintain a front of sweetness and light before their children. Even if American parents suffer a major business or personal catastrophe, they feel obliged to turn to their children and say, “Honey, everything is going to be all right.” This American desire to keep the children’ s world separate from that of the adult is exemplified also by the practice of delaying transmission of the news to children when their parents have been killed in an accident. Thus, in summary, American parents face a world of reality while many of their children live in a near-ideal unreal realm where the rules of the parental world do not apply, are watered down, or are even reversed.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    成人世界和儿童世界在许多方面泾渭分明。比如说,许多美国人可能从来不去教堂,或者对上帝是否存在十分怀疑,但是他们却会把孩子送到主日学校,教会他们祈祷。美国人生存的社会充满竞争,尔虞我诈才能名利双收,但是在他们教育孩子的幼儿故事里,在好人与坏人的斗争中最终却总是善有善报、恶有恶报。如果美国人出现严重的家庭危机,在孩子们面前,他们表面上却仍然是温柔可亲。即使工作、生活遭遇重大挫折,他们也认为有必要对孩子说:“宝贝儿,一切都会好起来的。”如果大人遭遇事故身亡,不会立刻把噩耗告诉孩子,这种做法也可以说明美国人希望让孩子的世界和成人的世界分离开来。因此,总的来说,美国人生活在现实的世界中,孩子则生活在一个几乎完美的天地里,这里成人世界的规则则不适用,淡化了,甚至完全相反。
