But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.The implication (含义) of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class,” or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort, is that you love her only when she looks the best, scores the highest, achieves the most. And this carries over to the classroom.Social psychologist Carrol Dweck, PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University. She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”.“Praising attributes (品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges,” says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They figure theyd better quit while theyre ahead.” 56. The underlined words “Praise-aholic kids” refers to kids who are _. A. very proud of being praised B. worthy of being praised C. extremely fond of being praised D. tired of being praised 57. The author quoted (引用) Dr. Dwecks words in the last paragraph in order to make the article _. A. better-known B. better-organized C. more persuasive D. more interesting58. We can infer from the passage that _. A. praise for efforts should be more encouraged B. praise for results works better than praise for efforts C. praising a childs achievements benefits his or her success in life D. praising a childs abilities encourages him or her to take on challengesBOne morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.Only after a weeks leave during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach was Rudenstine able to return to work.In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax this has become the model of a successful life.Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week for followers of some religions for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. 59. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_”. A. a signal of stress B. a warning of dangerC. a sign of age D. a spread of disease60. According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _.A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other peopleC. be more important than anyone else D. be busy working without time to rest61. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they _.A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitionsB. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of lifeC. fail to realize that religions force them to restD. think that taking a rest means being lazy62. What is the main idea of this passage? A. We should balance work with rest. B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am busy.”D. We should be available to our family and friends.CThe Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically (心理上) and physically.Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (营养成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them. 63. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet products fail to bring out peoples potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet products64. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foods B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet65. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _.A. losing weight is effortless B. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories66. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energyDMost Americans who earned money last year are expected to pay the I.R.S. part of what they earned. Only those who earned very little are not required to make such a payment. They still must send a tax report to the government.Most American workers have already paid all or most of their federal income taxes. This is because part of the tax goes to the I.R.S. each time a worker is paid. The government returns some of the money if too much was withheld. People who work for themselves usually send a tax payment to the I.R.S. every three months.The federal tax rate is not the same for everyone. People who earn a lot of money pay taxes at a higher rate than those who earn less. But even people who earn the same amount do not always pay the same amount of tax. That is because of the many tax laws written by Congress. These laws were created for social or economic purposes.For example, people who borrow money to buy a house may pay less in taxes than people who rent a home. Homeowners can subtract (减掉) the interest on the loan from their taxable income. Americans also can help reduce their taxable income by subtracting the value of money given to organizations that help the needy.Personal income tax is not the only tax that the federal government collects. It taxes property or money left when someone dies. And it taxes earnings from the sale of some investments, such as a house. Americans also pay a federal social security tax that is used to pay retired workers.Americans pay many other taxes, too. Most pay taxes to the state in which they live. Most states also collect sales tax. That is an amount added to the cost of goods bought in stores.And local city and county governments collect tax on property its citizens own. Many Americans say they pay too many taxes and their taxes are too high. Others say they are willing to pay taxes to receive services from their local state and federal governments.67. Why are some people willing to pay taxes? Because _.A. they want to receive services from their local state and federal governmentsB. they wanted to make contributions to their country C. part of the money goes to the I.R.S.D. the tax laws were created for social or economic purposes68. Why dont the people who earn the same amount of money always pay the same amount of tax? Because _.A. some people are rich and others are poor B. they live in different areasC. they pay the taxes according to different tax lawsD. some people dont want to pay too much money69. Who might pay sales tax? _.A. Stores B. Consumers C. Salesmen D. Factories70. Which of the following is wrong? _.A. The persons who earn very little may not pay personal income taxB. People who borrow money to buy a house may pay less in taxes than people who rent a house C. The money left by a dead person can be taxedD. The federal tax rate is the same for everyone第二节：信息填空题 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。71 They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. 72Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. 73Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty (贫穷) caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small ch
