漳州市2014 高考英语（阅读理解）一轮暑假训练（3）（答案）if your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a uk study said.though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the american journal of clinical nutrition. thats because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said jane wardle, a researcher at university college london who worked on the study. verbal praise, such as “brilliant! youre a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.the study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. the children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.researchers randomly assigned（分派）173 families to one of these groups. in one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. a second group of parents used verbal praise. the third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. the turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.why didnt the verbal praise work? wardle said the parents words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.16the purpose of writing the passage is .ato introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetablesbto show the procedure of an experiment on childrens dietcto

(b) abdb *结束cdo you know what really troubles me? for some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. for example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. all of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them. some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced. even foreign languages, especially french, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. i know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. especially if they are no longer logical. unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because theres no group of people who can c
