7．阅读理解

Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie—the evidence（证据）of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial "I didn't do it!"

Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral （道德）development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.

Early 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate's toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrong doing to a parent or confessing （承认） it. In each case, they asked the children, "How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?"

The children's answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more possible （可能的） to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive （积极的） feelings towards a confessor. Smith says, "kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action." He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

（1）What does the underlined word "denial" in Paragraph I mean?

A. 委屈

B. 责备

C. 否认

D. 拒绝（2）Paragraph 2 mainly tell us .

A. kids can't tell "right" from "wrong"

B. it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth

C. it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truth

D. all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act

（3）What did Professor Smith and his workmates find in their study?

A. Older kids are more possible than younger children to confess to a bad act.

B. Younger children are more possible than older kids to confess to a bad act.

C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime

D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.

（4）According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?

A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.

B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.

C. Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.

D. Parents should show positive feeling about their children's confessions.

【答案】（1）C

（2）B

（3）A

When a man was walking by some elephants, he suddenly stopped He wondered why these huge animals were being held only by a small rope tied to their front legs. No chains, no cages. It was clear that the elephants could break the rope at any time, but for sonic reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why the animals just stood there and didn't try to get away. "Well," the trainer said, "when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope to keep them from running away. At that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break tile rope. They believe it can still hold them, so they never try to break free."

The man was surprised. These animals could break flee whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

How many of us go through life like the elephants-holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesn't mean we can never succeed. If we try again and again, maybe we will succeed one day. So don't be afraid of failure and keep on trying. （1）Why did the elephants never try to break the rope after they grew up?
