International Beer Day is a day that is celebrated     1     the first Friday of every August all over the world. The purpose of this holiday is for friends to gather together and enjoy some beers together, to celebrate people     2     brew and serve beers, and to celebrate the beers of all nations. Although this holiday started out as a small local event, over the years it has spread to all six continents.

    3     (imagine) originally by Jesse Avshalomov in 2007, International Beer Day     4     (found) by Aaron Araki, Evan Hamilton and Richard Hernande in California. They then convinced their local bars     5     (celebrate) it and even made a website for it. However,    6     they didn’t realize was how fast it was going to take off. Almost immediately, they started receiving emails from people, some of which were as far away as Africa and the UK. Today, International Beer Day is celebrated on six continents in almost sixty countries and over 210     7     (city).

According to psychologist Katherine Phillip's research, parents often praise when their child completes a task,     1     (believe) they are building their child's self-confidence. However,over-praising can have     2     negative impact. When parents use the same praise repeatedly, it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an     3    (expect) that anything they do must     4    (reward) with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of disappointing their parents.The key    5     healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the outcome. It is the recognition of a child's attempt, effort or the process in which they achieved something     6     is essential. Phillip says it's important to distinguish between "person praise" and "process praise". Person praise like "You are really clever" is     7    (simple) saying how great he is, which is a     8    (person) approval. Process praise is acknowledgment of the efforts a person has just made, like "You worked hard". The research     9    (suggest) that giving people process praise after success can help     10    (they) deal much better with failures because it owes outcomes to effort rather than fixed ability.
