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。

One Sunday，my family had gathered at my parents，house to feast upon Mom，s wonderful cooking. During the

normal dinner chatter, I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混）his words. No one mentioned this during dinner,

but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.

We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.

Mom phoned me two days later. “ The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤）• It，s too large at this point to operate.

Maybe they can do something then，but the odds are long. ”

Even with the treatment, my father’ s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was

terminal. During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By

this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could

make faces at her.

Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though

grateful for the times they could share，I couldn，t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.

On the visit to my parents，home during what we all know was my father，s last days, my mother took Chelsey from

my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute. ”

I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.

“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”

He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.

“I，m sorry，but I can’ t understand you，” I said.

With great difficulty he said, “I love you. ”

We don' t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise

above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict ，uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show

emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of

his life.

Researchers at Brigham Young University spent three years observing 2,536 students, across three US states, from

kindergarten age through to sixth grade. The children observed were shown to focus on tasks up to 20% to 30% more when

teachers were required to consider the number of praise statements given, compared to the number of criticisms.

Dr. Paul Caldarella and his team sat in 151 classes, in 19 elementary schools across Missouri, Tennessee and Utah. In

half of the classrooms, teachers followed a behavioral intervention (行为介入）program called CW-FIT, where students are

told about the social skills they are expected to show in lessons and rewarded for doing so. In the other half of the classes,

teachers used their typical classroom management practices.

The study showed a relationship between the ratio of praise to criticism (PCR) used by the teachers and the extent

students focused on class activities. In other words, the more teachers praised and the less that they scolded, the more

students attended to the teacher, or worked on assigned tasks.

The difference was such that children in classes where the PCR was highest, the pupils spent 20-30% longer focusing

on the teacher or task compared to those in classes where the praise to reprimand ratio was lowest. This relationship was

present across both CW-FIT and ordinary classes.

"Unfortunately, previous research has shown that teachers often tend to scold students for problem behavior as much or

more than they praise pupils for appropriate behavior, which can often have a negative effect on classrooms and student

behavior," says Dr Caldarella, from the School of Education at Brigham Young.

The results suggest that praise is a powerful tool in a teacher's toolbox, inspiring students to work harder – particularly

those difficult to reach children who may struggle academically or be troublesome in class. Previous studies have shown a

clear link between the time spent by students attending to lessons and their academic achievement, suggesting that praise

could boost learning and improve children's grades too.

5. Which of the following is true of Dr. Paul Caldarella’s research?

A. Students showed equal focus in class activities.

B. Students were divided into two groups for observation.

C. There were more 6th graders than kindergarten students.

D. Students in the study were observed for the same behaviors.

6. What is the main finding of Dr. Paul Caldarella’s study?

A. 20-30% students liked their teachers.

B. Students’ age and their attitude were related.

C. Older students pay more attention to their teachers.

D. Praise from teachers increased students’ attention in class.

7. According to this passage, what did earlier research find about teachers’ practice in class?

A. Teachers used more criticism than praise.

B. Teachers used as much praise as criticism.

C. Teachers corrected students’ mistakes in time.

D. Teachers used praising and criticizing equally.

A local grocery store here is remodeling（改造）and not a single one of the changes is good for those

of us who shop there. The grocery aisles（通道）have been rearranged with some going in one direction and

others going in another. The aisles have been pushed closer together too making it harder to get through them.

All of the items have been moved from their usual spots as well. It seems like all of these changes have been

for the purpose of slowing the shoppers down so they will make more impulse buys and give the store bigger

profits. As I walked through the store today, no one was smiling and everyone was unhappy about it.

The change that bothered me the most, however, was in the checkout（付款台）aisles. Only a few

cashiers were left working with huge sections being changed into self-scanning checkouts. It saddened me to

see this. I knew that people were probably going to lose their jobs because of this change. I got in a cashier

aisle and patiently waited while I saw some other people struggling to find out how the self-scan machines

worked. I vowed（发誓）at that moment never to use one myself even if I had to wait longer every time I

shopped there.

When I finally arrived at the front of the aisle, I saw the cashier was someone I knew. I smiled and asked

her how her family was doing. She smiled back with a warmth and kindness that touched my soul. We chatted

happily while she scanned and bagged up my groceries. I felt a friendship and a connection with her that

warmed my heart. I wished her well before I left and said a little prayer to God for her and all the other hard

working cashiers there.

Machines can do a lot for us, but there are many things they cannot do. They can’t smile. They can’t

love. They can’t touch a heart. Only we can do that. Only we can make life worth living. It is time we realize

that profits aren’t more important than people and machines aren’t more important than us. It is time we see

that we are here not to conquer the world but to be a part of it. It is time we learn that Loving God, each other,

and this world are what life is all about.

Care is the most splendid medicine to those who have ever suffered some great sorrow or painful experience.

If you want to untie the knots(心结） in someone’s heart ，communicating with souls together.Please spare ceaseless

attempts to care about him.

I spent two years working with children with physical or mental disabilities. I devoted myself to touching their hearts

softly and learned that shouting and blasting would lead to a dreadful consequence that they would get hurt more awfully

and even developed a real desire to hide themselves in the darkness forever.Coming up against their behavior could only

make it harder to walk into their hearts and more tough to grab their feelings.

I found something literally worked.

There was a very naughty boy in my working place, and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children

was asked to take charge of him. One day,the boy struggled into his fight against the session in the room next to

mine,running around, hitting and kicking, almost destroying property. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension.The

teacher, after all, burst into sobs of frustration and deep despair.
