It does not help them build self-confidence.Most parents and teachers agree that praise ca n help increase children’s self-confidence — the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job' or 'nice work' whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."61.

It’s important to have the habit of praising children.B. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.C. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.D. What children with high self-confidence are like.CHorseback riding has been popular for centuries for many reasons. Very early in history, horseback riding became an important means of travel. In the very beginning,horses were used for fighting and hunting. Today, horseback riding is mostly used for fun and therapy (治疗). When choosing a horseback riding camp, you must first decide which style of riding you want to learn. American riding is generally related to cowboys (牛仔) and all kinds of competitions. American saddles(马鞍) were made to make sure that the rider feels comfortable and safe.English riding, on the other hand, focuses on jumping, racing and horsemanship (马术). This style of riding gives the horse and the rider more freedom of movement, so the saddles don’t provide as much support and security as an American-style saddle does. If you are a new rider, you should think about going to an American riding camp.Horseback riding is a great therapy for people of all ages with physical or mind disabilities. This type of therapy provides a fun environment in which people can practice new and old skills. The riders try to improve their skills. In addition, they can enjoy the feeling of being with other people in the camp.If you’re looking fo r something a little different next summer, think of horseback riding camps, whether you own a horse or not. The experience and fun of horseback riding will stay in your memory forever.66.

In my opinion, the Internet affects(影响) young people not only in a positive way, but also in a negative way.There is no doubt that the Internet has a good effect on widening young people’s knowledge. It keeps everyone informed. In just a few minutes each day people can get the most recent news. Moreover, more and more young people are using the Internet to help them in their work or studies. They can also learn a lot about culture and history on the Internet.On the other hand, the Internet also has negative influences on young people. Firstly, the over-use of computers can bring in bad physical side-effects(副作用). It will do harm to people’s eyes to sit in front of a computer for a long time without a break. Other health problems, such as stomachache, headache and back pain, also happen quite easily to those who spend too much time on computers. Wha t’s more, the Internet seems to separate young people from the real world. Although they are usually familiar with the current affairs(社会时事), their face-to-face communication skills are very poor. They communicate with other people through Yahoo, Myspace and MSN instead of going out with their family or meeting friends. As a result, young people can show a lack of common sense in relationships or have difficulty communicating in the real world. In addition, a lot of websites are not good for teenagers. For example, some websites contain violent(暴力的) videos that should be deleted.In conclusion, besides helping young people to increase their knowledge, the Internet may also bring in some bad results. Although the advantages seem to fill all the need, the drawbacks also need the same attention. The young really need guidance on how to use the Internet.71. What’s the best title for the passage?A.

What can we infer(推断) according to the author?A. The use of the Internet among teenagers should be stopped.B. The Internet has more disadvantages than advantages.C.
