His father was so poor that he couldnt send him to school. The boy had to help his parents to do some farming and learned English and maths by himself when he was free. Later on he was made to leave his home villageand hoped to find a job in a city. And as soon as war broke out, he joined the army. He couldnt forget his terrible past and fought with the enemies bravely. So he became a general when he was fifty. He was honest and friendly to his soldiers and often punished those who tried to pocket a portion of the soldierspay(克扣军饷). And his soldiers liked him very much.Once Mr. Parker heard from a soldier. In the letter the young man said the food in their military camp was very bad and he wished the general could go to find out the reasons. The old man went there at once without telling anybody. He went in the kitchen and examined everything carefully and found it was very dirty. Then he went in the soldiers bedrooms and found there were a lot of flies. He became angry and asked the soldiers, “What do you think of your food, young men?” The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing. Only a new soldier said, “Very bad, sir!”“What did you have for lunch today?” asked Mr. Parker. “A fried chicken, some fish and pork, a cake, six eggs and I had three cups of wine.” “Really?”Mr. Parker called out in surprise.“Its the Kings lunch, I think!”“So do I, General,” said the young man. “But its my birthday today.

Words such as “well done” may make them doubt their own abilities, a leading psychologist (心理学家) Stephen Grosz has warned. He says that words such as “youre so clever” or “youre such an artist” could also hinder their future development at school. He says that such empty praise causes children to be unhappy as they may say they cant live up to these expectations. Instead he advises parents and teachers to praise children less frequently and use words like “trying really hard,” Mr. Grosz said, “Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism (批评). People often pay no attention to childrens feelings and thoughts.” He also mentions research showing that children who are heavily praised probably perform worse at school.Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. Afterwards, some were told, “You did really well you re so clever.” But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well you must have tried really hard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.He says that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher tell her, “You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done,” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz writes, “How could I explain to the teacher that I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter?”As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I praise them when praising is proven right. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.32. The underlined word “hinder” in Paragraph 1 probably means”_”. A. allowB. preventC. encourageD. control33. Which of the following praise does Mr. Grosz like most? A. You are so clever! B. Well done, darling! C. You are such an artist! D. You must have tried hard!34. Hearing what that teacher said, Mr. Grosz _. A. realized the importance of praiseB. was very proud of her daughter C. didnt know how to thank her D. was not really satisfied35. What does the author mainly tell us in the text? A. Too much praise can sometimes hurt children. B. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse. C. Parents should spend more time with their children. D. Many children cant live up to their parents expectations. (E)Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(pocket money)The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.In any case，parents should make clear what，if anything，the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first，young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this，they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands a choice between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs，like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the house，however，can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. You have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.A saving account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest. So，for example，one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year，the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents，and so on. That may not seem like a lot，but over time it adds up.36.Giving an allowance, parents should consider all the following EXCEPT _.A. how much the child should get each timeB. whether the child has made a budgetC. where the money really goes D. how often a child can get it37. The underlined part compound interest in the passage probably means _.A. increasing curiosity to learn how to make more moneyB. stronger power to hold ones attention to saving moneyC. money paid by the bank on your original money and the gain from itD. your parents money from working in the bank38. The author of the passage holds the opinion that _. A. what children learn by handling allowances may be beneficial in the futureB. children can learn to set up their own business with their allowancesC. keeping allowances in the bank is the best choice for childrenD. it is not a good idea to pay children for housework at home39. What is the best title for the passage?A. Be Generous to Pay Your ChildrenB. Be Wise to Avoid Financial MistakesC. Saving Allowances Does Good to ChildrenD. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money(F)Ladji Doucoure of France beat Olympic champion Liu Xiang of China in the final meters to claim the title of the mens 110 meters hurdles at the 10th world championships in Helsinki on Friday.Doucoure, who led the world this season with 12.97 seconds, overtook the Chinese to win the race in 13.07 seconds. Liu was second in 13.08. Four-time world champion Allen Johnson of the United States took the third in 13.10.The 22-year-old Doucoure said after the race, “ I can not tell you just how long I have been dreaming of this. This victory is the result of a lot of hard work, and also a lot of support from people who have believed in me. I had a bad start, touched a few hurdles, but after the 4th hurdle I picked up my race and went straight to the finish line.”Liu, who won the Olympic gold with a world record-tying time of 12.91 seconds, said, “Im very satisfied with the second place. The result could have been worse. I felt quite well and did my best. I m not tired, I had some clearance problems at the start, so I should practice that some more. Finally, I didnt lose by much, only by a little bit, but I did think I could win it.”Lius coach, Sun Haiping said on Friday he was content with Lius performance.“ Liu Xiang was quite good during his reaction period, but he was a little bit slow in the middle and he finally caught up during the last two hurdles,” Sun told Xinhua.Although satisfied with the silver medal and the clocking of 13.08 seconds, Sun said Liu might have added the world title to the Olympic championship if Liu had run the track neighboring his major rivals(对手) of Doucoure Ladji or Allen Johnson.“ If he had run next to Ladji Doucoure or Allen Johnson, Liu could have kept pace with them and then sprinted(疾跑) at the last stage. In this case, he could grab the gold,” said Sun, who had become a household name for coaching Chinas first mens Olympic champion in the track.40.
