30、eu ch an artist ”co uld also hinder their future development at school. He says that such empty praise causes children to be unhappy as they may say they can't live up to these expectations.Instead he advises parents and teachers to praise children less frequently and use words like “ trying rea

31、lly hard,” Mr. Grosz said,“ Empty praise is as bad as thocriticism （ 批评）. People often pay no attention to children's feelings and thoughtsalso mentions research showing that children who are heavily praised probably perform worse at school.Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 p

32、upils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. Afterwards, some were told, “Youd id really well you'r e so clever. B”u t the researchers told the other group, “Youd id really well you must have tried really hard. ”B oth groups of children were then given more difficult questions and

33、 those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.He says that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher tell her, “Youh ave drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done, ” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same t

34、eacher said,“Ware really an artist. I”n his book, Mr. Grosz writes, “How could I explain to the teacher that I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter?”As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I praise them when praising is proven right. I want them to know if I praise

35、 them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.32. The underlined word“ hinder ” in Paragraph 1 probably means ” ” .A. allow B. prevent C. encourageD. control33. Which of the following praise does Mr. Grosz like most?A. You are so clever!B. Well done, darling!

36、C. You are such an artist!D. You must have tried hard!34.

37、ch praise can sometimes hurt children.B. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse.C. Parents should spend more time with their children.D. Many children can ' t live up to their parents' expectations.(E)Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocket money

38、)The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get

39、 a monthly allowance.In any case，parents should make clear what ，if anything ，the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first ，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this ，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budge

40、t. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs ，like clothing or electronics. Many people who have w

41、ritten on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house，however ，can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances giv

42、e children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs a

43、nd plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.

44、 Compounding works by paying interest. So ，for example ，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year ，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents ，and so on. That may not seem like a lot ， but over time it adds up.36

45、. Giving an allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT .A. how much the child should get each timeB. whether the child has made a budgetC. where the money really goesD. how often a child can get it37. The underlined part "compound interest" in the passage probably means .A

46、. increasing curiosity to learn how to make more moneyB. stronger power to hold one's attention to saving moneyC. money paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from itD. your parents' money from working in the bank38. The author of the passage holds the opinion that .A. what chi

47、ldren learn by handling allowances may be beneficial in the futureB. children can learn to set up their own business with their allowancesC. keeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for childrenD. it is not a good idea to pay children for housework at home39.
