Their parents believe in them and their abilities and try to persuade them with the support and examples they need. Positive-minded parents are 36 in themselves and their own skills. They remain calm and focused during 37 times. This will provide the child with the 38 he/she needs to become the same type of individual -secure in himself/herself and his/her abilities. In an article titled “Why Positive Parenting?” psychologist Laura Markham states that 39 positive parenting “kids reap the rewards of good behaviorgood grades, self-esteem and 40 from peers. It becomes part of their self-image, and they automatically act to 41 that self-image.”Children with positive parents are more 42 to be motivated to do well in their personal lives and academic environments. Being able to self-direct themselves towards goals will give them the 43 that will push them to excellence. 44 parenting increases childrens chances of learning how to 45 challenges and reach objectives without coddling. Markham said she believed that love, not physical 46 or force, “becomes a more effective motivator over time.”A child raised by a parent with a positive attitude has a 47 to become an optimist. According to author of the “The Optimistic Child”, raising children is about identifying and expanding their 48 and virtues and helping them live these positive traits to the 49 .A parents goal is to produce well-adjusted, independent children. Positive parenting encourages children to learn how to do activities on their own. Mistakes and 50 become opportunities to develop a stronger character and learn new skills. Positive parents encourage their children to try again when their 51 fail. Their children will learn to 52 the good or the lesson in a difficult event or 53 outcome. Parents who do everything for their children do 54 to them. They send the message 55 they are not good enough, smart enough or turstworthy to take on the tasks themselves.36.

Despite the windfall, Jump, a longtime teacher at Central Fellowship Christian Academy in Macon, Georgia, has no plans to quit the work she considers her calling. She spoke with us about her secrets for creating units that kids and fellow teachers cant resist.How did you get the idea of selling your work online?Deanna Jump: Ive always created my own activities and units, and Ive always shared them with my fellow teachers. A few years ago, we were in our weekly team meeting, and one of my team members said, “Your stuff is so good. Youve got to put it on Teachers Pay Teachers.” She gave me the link, and I got started. That was 2009. The first year, my sales were really slow. I made about $300. At the time I thought that was great.How has the income changed your life?Deanna Jump: We teachers in America dont make a whole lot of money, so I really consider it a blessing. I have a brother whos a quadriplegic. For about 13 years, he was stuck at home unless he had a doctors appointment. With my first big check, we bought him a van so our mother could take him to the movies and the park. I try to be careful with the money. I gave some to my community. But I still drive a Kia. I still live in the same house.What advice would you give fellow teachers who might want to sell their lessons?Deanna Jump: Stay true to yourself. My teaching style is reflected in my units. I dont try to say, “Okay, how would this teacher over here to do it?” and try to create something for her. Also, be a teacher first, and a seller second. Be careful to make sure that you dont say, “Oh, my goodness, I havent put anything out for two months. I need to get something out.” I never think like that. But so many people do. I create things with my students in mind.56. The underlined word “windfall” in Paragraph 1 probably means _. A. top secret B. good stuff C. great difficulty D. sudden gain57. Deanna Jumps lessons _. A. brought her great fame B. were put online by her colleague C. sold well as soon as they were put onlineD. were created with the help of her colleague58. Deanna Jump will probably share her lesson plan if _. A. she is in need of itB. its successful in her classroom C. its expected to be a good sellerD. she adopts a new teaching styleBWhen we analyze the salt salinity (盐浓度) of ocean waters, we find that it varies only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction (减少) of water from the ocean by means of evaporation (蒸发). In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salt stays behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained.The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted (稀释) so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation.Normally, in hot regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with theformationand melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.In the Weddell Sea, the densest water in the ocean is formed as aresultof this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portion of the oceans of the world.59. This passage mainly tells us about_.A. the analysis of the salinity of ocean watersB. the causes of the variation in oceanic salinityC. the importance of the changes in oceanic salinityD. the different forms of salts in ocean waters60. It can be known from the passage that increase in the salinity of ocean water is caused by_.A. melting of sea ice B. precipitationC. evaporation D. supplement of salt61. Which of the following is not the cause of the decrease in the oceanic salinity?A. Precipitation. B. Rain and snow.C. Formation of ice. D. Addition of water by rivers.62. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Oceanic salinity has great effect on sea life.B. Many factors combine to cause changes in oceanic salinity.C. The movement of the water is related to the amount of salt.D. The temperature of the water has much to do with the oceanic salinity.CCall it the learning paradox: the more you struggle and even fail while youre trying to learn new information, the better youre likely to recall and apply that information later.The learning paradox is at the heart of “productive failure,” a phenomenon identified by researcher Manu Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing students to new knowledge providing lots of structure and guidance early on, until the students show that they can do it on their own makes intuitive sense, it may not be the best way to promote learning. Rather, its better to let the learners wrestle with the material on their own for a while, refraining from giving them any assistance at the start. In a paper published recently, Kapur applied the principle of productive failure to mathematical problem solving in three schools.With one group of students, the teacher provided strong “scaffolding”-instructional support and feedback. With the teachers help, these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems. Meanwhile, a second group was directed to solve the same problems by collaborating with one another, without any prompts from their instructor. These students werent able to complete the problems correctly. But in the course of trying to do so, they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like. And when the two groups were tested on what theyd learned the second group “significantly outperformed” the first.The apparent struggles of the floundering (挣扎的) group have what Kapur calls a “hidden efficacy”: they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems, not simply their correct solutions. When these students encounter a new problem of the same type on a test, theyre able to transfer the knowledge theyve gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone elses expertise. In the real world, problems rarely come neatly packaged, so being able to discern their deep structure is key. But, Kapur notes, none of us like to fail, no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praise the beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start-up company that crashes and burns. So we need to “design for productive failure” by building it into the learning process, Kapur has identified three conditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle. First, choose problems to work on that “challenge but do not frustrate.” Second, provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on what theyre doing. Third, give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad solutions to the problems. And to those students who protest this tough-love teaching style: youll thank me later.63. Why does the author call the learning process a paradox?A. Pains do not necessarily lead to gains. B. What is learned is rarely applicable in life.C. Failure more often than not breeds success. D. The more is taught, the less is learned.64. What does Kapur disapprove of in teaching?A. Asking students to find and solve problems on their own.B. Developing students ability to apply what they learn.C. Giving students detailed guidance and instruction.D. Allowing
