And it seems that how to draw a line between too little and too much praise has become a high-pressure 1 for parents.Self-esteem(自尊)serves as a kind of tool to measure how much children feel valued and accepted by 2 . This sensitivity to others’ 3 develops because of humans’ need for social acceptance, which is considered to be 4 to survival. As early as age 8, children’s self-esteem tends to rise and fall in response to feedbacks about 5 peers see them as likable or attractive. 6 , it can also be beneficial for kids to feel bad about themselves occasionally, if they behave in selfish, mean or hurtful ways that might 7 their ability to maintain relationships or hold a job in the future.In the past, many parents and educators believed that high self-esteem 8 happiness and success, and kids could gain self-esteem simply by getting 9 and awards from their parents, teachers and people around. But recently researchers have found self-esteem doesn’t 10 these desired results. Instead, if parents praise their kids 11 , their self-esteem becomes focused on being very smart, being the best and being perfect. Building too much self-esteem of the children cannot go as planned, making them feel 12 later on when they hit setbacks(挫折).According to some experts, it can actually be good for kids to have 13 self-esteem, at least once in a while. And praise can be 14 if it disregards the world outside the home. Children who have a 15 understanding of how they are seen by others tend to get recovered more readily 16 disappointment, depression or the like. The best path is a 17 road, helping children develop a positive but 18 view of themselves in relation to others by praising them for the 19 they invest and behavior they are able to sustain, like “It’s 20 that you’re working so hard on your homework.”1．A．balancing B．crashing C．forcing D．embarrassing2．A．themselves B．parents C．others D．teachers3．A．views B．envies C．favors D．blames4．A．irrelevant B．similar C．important D．sensitive5．A．when B．whether C．how D．where6．A．Indeed B．Otherwise C．Therefore D．However7．A．improve B．damage C．change D．develop8．A．promised B．delayed C．purchased D．ruined9．A．support B．help C．challenge D．praise10．A．settle down B．work out C．give away D．bring about11．A．rarely B．carefully C．constantly D．casually12．A．worse B．stronger C．better D．madder13．A．high B．much C．low D．little14．A．powerful B．harmful C．grateful D．stressful15．A．practical B．limited C．basic D．perfect16．A．with B．to C．about D．from17．A．straight B．smooth C．middle D．rough18．A．general B．realistic C．different D．negative19．A．talent B．time C．money D．effort20．A．necessary B．awesome C．worthless D．awfulⅣ．阅读理解A group called Story Pirates goes into schools and performs shows for children. But these shows are based on stories written by the children themselves. The grown-ups are there to help them become better writers. The Story Pirates are active in more than 200 schools across the United States. Their method is designed to help children learn about the purpose and structure of writing.Actors and teachers help students write stories. The children feel the pride of ownership in their work and may get to see their stories performed. About 200 actors and teachers are members of the Story Pirates. It involves two visits to a school. On the first visit, the teachers and actors hold a writing workshop(研讨会) at a student gathering. They help students express their ideas.The Story Pirates is not just a creativity and self-confidence-building program. It is a writing program. And they focus on elements(要素) of structure and style as broad as conflicts(冲突) and creative conflict resolution, and as detailed as grammar.After about a month, the Story Pirates return to the school. This time, they perform the stories they have chosen and prepared for the stage. They sing, dance, and tell jokes — whatever they can do to make the experience fun.Ann Ledo is the arts director for a school, where most of the students are black and poor. She says, “The work of the actors is an important part of the children’s education. As a school that has a focus on the arts, we bring the Story Pirates in to further our students’ experience. ” Some educators may think of the importance currently placed on testing in schools, and wonder how they can measure the effects of a program like this. But Ann Ledo praises the results. She says, “It really is a magical moment when the kids see their stories come to life.”1．What is the purpose of the Story Pirates? ________A．To get inspiration from school children.B．To help the grown-ups to create more stories.C．To help school children to improve their writing skills.D．To encourage school children to be writers when they grow up.2．From Paragraph 2we can learn that ________.A．the teachers and actors pay several visits to each schoolB．the children can build confidence during the process of the activityC．a writing workshop will be held after the performanceD．the children are asked to perform the stories3．What happens at the writing workshop? ________A．The teachers write the stories.B．The actors give acting classes.C．The students are chosen for the performance.D．The ideas of stories are expressed by the students.4．The forms of the performance include the following EXCEPT ________.
