So Rentzsch and her colleague Michela Schroder-Abe decided to take a closer look at how such self-enhancement affects relationships, so they turned to the eighth-grade classroom, somewhere they could measure differences between actual academic performance, and social popularity. The 358 students came from 20 eighth-grade classes in schools in southeast Germany.The researchers asked each student to rate their classmates, in terms of their likability and of their feelings of academic superiority. They then compared those ratings with the students grades in math, physics, German and English. Importantly, they conducted the analysis at two different social levels: “habitual”the way people act in general, and “relationship”the way someone acts around a specific individual.In future work, Rentzsch would like to look at these effects on adults, perhaps specifically in team work. Shes also interested in self-enhancement beyond academic achievements, for example physical attractiveness. And another question to explore is why students overestimate their academic abilities. Perhaps it is because of too much praise from their parents or teachers.12. According to paragraph 1, what should a student do to be more popular in class?A. Try to love other students.B. Share with others his achievements.C. Think highly of others academic abilities.D. Have a correct view of his academic abilities.13. What was each student required to do during the study?A. Analyze their relationships with others.B. Compare themselves with the others.C. Make assessments about each other.D. Share their academic performance.14 The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .A. students academic abilities.B. students desire to be praised.C. students difficulty in exploration.D. students overestimation of their academic abilities.15. What would Rentzsch study in the future?A. The effect of self-enhancement on students.B. The influence of self-enhancement on adults.C. The cause of peoples physical attractiveness.D. The ways of making academic achievements.【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B【解析】本文为介绍说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，我们对孩子们的学习能力的不切实际的感知会损害一个孩子与其他人同学之间的关系。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的We all want our kids to be self-confident, but unrealistic perception(认知) of their academic abilities, a new study finds, damage a childs relationship with others in the classroom（我们都希望我们的孩子是自信的，但一项新的研究发现，对于他们的学习能力的不切实际的感知会损害一个孩子与其他人同学之间的关系）可推知，对自己的学习能力有一个正确的感知，才能让自己在班里更受欢迎。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的The researchers asked each student to rate their classmates, in terms of their l
