The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyones a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Heres how they work: A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic youre a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes its sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, its quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties. On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isnt on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, its quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldnt be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dwecks book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.21What does the author think about the present generation?A. They dont do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.22A fixed mind-set person is probably one who _ .A. doesnt want to work hard B. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with others D. can succeed with the help of teachers23What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful. B. Talent comes with ones birth.C. Scores should be highly valued. D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.24What should parents do for their children based on Dwecks study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures. B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.You never played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight! Like many other teenage boys, Jones loves sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight in trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may be a good football game player by the end of the summer. Jones chose the popular Dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10! A health study is being done by an insurance company. The company hopes that the game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims last year cost us $ 77 million. We have to cut those costs,” said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console (游戏主机), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study. The study is more than a commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals. In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher. Researchers are now looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video games in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination (协调能力), and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games. The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such to dance away your extra weight?25The underlined part is trying to tell us _.A. the study involves many insurance companiesB. the study is only an insurance companys businessC. the study is less important than the insurance companys money D. its not only the insurance company that is concerned about the study26It can be inferred that _. A. the government thinks highly of the dance gameB. in West Virginia, more than 25 % of the adults were too fatC. a teacher is a failure in using the video game in her classesD. the US Education Department isnt interested in the game27The most suitable title of the passage is _.A. Dance Away Your Weight B. Play the Video Dance Game C. Solve the Problem of Obesity D.

This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education.Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligence is developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communicationboth written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligencetextbook, pencil, and paperare giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of the above, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills vis-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance (加强) and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer-based reading.Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing software promotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence. Although there have not been comprehensive studies on the use of technologies to aid K-12 English-language learners, there have been many individual computer programs and other technologies that accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks.Title: How Technology Can Help Language LearningParagraph outlineDetailed informationBrief introduction to Verbal-linguistic IntelligenceHoward Gardner thinks that intelligence is of eight types, 52_ from verbal-linguistic to naturalistic intelligence.Verbal-linguistic Intelligence, 53_ of three aspects, is developed by three specific activities.Technology is 54_ traditional tools used to develop verbal/linguistic intelligence efficiently.The learning ground of language and linguistics has been 55_ by adding multisensory elements to language learning.Effects on language and literacy skillsDigital reading materials have been used to help children in developing countries get 56_ in storybooks, enhancing the emergent literacy among them.Effects on reading abilityTechnology can enhance and sustain childrens interest levels
