How could that be? So I spent years talking with experts, reading about the effects of praise, and finally d
10、ecided to close the door on praise and focus on building an encouraging family.Even today, with many studies available to parents, I still hear people say, “How can that be? How can saying Good job or Youre smart be bad?” I understand. It can be a difficult habit to break.If we tell a boy “You are s
11、mart!” when he brings home an A in his math test, how does he feel when he comes home with a D? If weve told him that he is smart, then he will more likely feel a failure when he struggles with homework“Im supposed to be smart. Why cant I do this?”Praise trains children to depend on constant feedbac
12、k on what a “great job” they are doing. This dependency damages childrens confidence. Praise trains children to ask, “Do you like it?” “Did I do a good job?” They begin to believe that what others think is more important than what they think about their achievements and mistakes.Praise breaks the re
13、lationship between parents and children. Without even realizing it, parents may be using praise as a tool to direct the childs behavior. The message is clear I approve of you when you . and I dont approve of you when you . Living with this kind of constant judgment damages the relationship.The solut
14、ion to the problem of praise is encouragement. Encouragement can be given at any time, to anyone, in any situation. It is a comment, an acknowledgment, a statement that focuses on effort, improvement or choice. Hearing “You are smart!” can leave a child at a loss when they dont do well. Using “That

After leaving the cashier, he calculated that he had saved
19、80 cents and thought that he had got good value for his money again.At the exit, the chilly wind reminded him of his gloves. “Where are they?” He searched here and there, but nowhere could he find them. George was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. It was obvious that they must have
20、 been dropped somewhere inside the store.George bought the gloves at a 25% discount, for just $30, ten years ago. They were genuine lambskin (小羊皮). Until then, he had worn cheaper ones that lasted no more than three years. His impulsive decision to buy the expensive gloves turned out to be a good on
21、e, which even promoted his social status on the bus, as passengers stared at him enviously for six months out of the year. He enjoyed being envied.Bad luck, George thought, to lose his gloves on New Years Eve. He, calm on the outside but frantic in the inside, reentered the store. Several minutes of
22、 search turned out to be in vain. “Society has changed. People have changed he murmured to himself. “Years ago, if people picked up something lost, they would give it back.”Back home, George was at a loss. In deep winter, he could not do anything without a pair of gloves.After the holiday, George de
23、cided to buy another pair of leather gloves. Before boarding the subway, he stepped into Value Mart again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office.“What color are they?” the woman in the office asked.“Black,” he answered.She looked into her drawer and drew ou

26、l happen.B.A penny saved is a penny earned.C.Never ever jump to conclusions.D.A loss may turn out to be a gain.DThe sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely base
27、d on escaping regulations and breaking the law.Airbnb is an Internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such s
28、ervices.The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those cha
29、rged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention.

30、tels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airbnbs customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that t
31、hey dont form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit
32、 with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers ability to
33、 earn a minimum wage.This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesnt mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.32.What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?A.It is a global trend.B.It is beyond regulations.C.It brings in modest profits.D.It takes a
34、dvantage of spare resources.33.What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?A.They can be noisy to hosts neighbours.B.They are likely to commit thefts.C.They are allowed not to pay taxes.D.They are not regularly inspected.34.What is the argument over Uber according to the passa
35、ge?A.Whether it provides reliable services.B.Whether it guarantees customers safety.C.Whether it lowers customers expenses.D.Whether it can compete with standard taxis.35.What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?A.Existing regulations and laws.B.Further development of Airbnb and Uber.C.

39、eaving little reason to broadcast detailed and revealing personal stories to establish a unique self.Ironically, the more unique Americans strive to be, the greater their need to feel connected with others.
