2 . According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. “Teachers should not say things like ‘good job’ or ‘nice work’ whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve,” some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, “High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s advantages and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can.” Praise also loses its effect if it is given equally to all students.
“It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise,” Duke adds. “People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is.”

In the mountains in southwest China lie my village. Although the climate and landscape are delighted, people lead a tough life there. At the beginning of the 21st century, the government began to attach great importance with its development, under the influence of that people’s living conditions began to improve. A lot of roads were built and plenty of trade centers were newly found, which made them convenient to develop economy. What’s more, with a great many students admit into famous universities, the education has been improving.

5 . A study by the British government has discovered the mental well-being of the country's teenage girls has worsened.
The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2014 and 2021, showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2014. British boys 'stress level was actually seen to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent. The report's authors pointed out the “appearance of the social media age” could be a major contributing factor for increasing stress among teenage British girls.
“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive (认知的) and emotional development,” Pam Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a blog post. “Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults. In the past, they would engage with parents, teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”
Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control .Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens don't have the cognitive awareness and impulse control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be circulated far and wide with disastrous implications.
“Social media can also feed into girls' insecurities about their appearance,” Ramsden said. “These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, these images and the messages tied to them gradually grow into some widely-accepted social standards.”
“Social media allows girls to make comparisons among friends as well as celebrities and then provides them with ‘solutions’ such as extreme dieting tips and workouts to reach their goals,” Ramsden said. “Concerns about body image can negatively impact their quality of life preventing them from having healthy relationships and taking up time that could be better spent developing other aspects of their personalities.”

| C．By making comparisons. | D．By analyzing cause and effect. |
| A．Supportive. | B．Indifferent. | C．Critical. | D．Concerned |
| A．spread | B．promoted | C．maintained | D．advertised |
| A．have already rid themselves of the destructive effects of social media. |
| B．can't tell the right from the wrong for their lack of cognitive awareness. |
| C．are extremely concerned about their body image due to some unwritten social rules. |
| D．should adopt the most efficient and popular approaches posted online by celebrities |
6 . While waiting in bus stations, airports or parks, some people are busy with a friendly conversation, and others read newspapers, comics (漫画), novels and pocket books. That was many years ago.

In the COVID-19 times, these products of modern technology have protected us from public exposure and direct interaction with people.

8 . Charity is simple in theory: A heart warms, a hand reaches out. In practice, though, charity can become a troubled mix of motives (动机) and consequences. Giving can be driven by guilt (负罪感), duty, praise, or perhaps the hope that giving will somehow make up for past cruelty (残酷) or ignorance. Too little charity is far less than valuable. Too much can cause dependence, which makes the receiver continuously ask for more.
Giving from the heart is good. But critics (批评家) have long worried about misdirected charity that does more harm than good. In his 2012 book, Harmful Charity: How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help (And How to Solve the Problem), Robert Lupton, an experienced social worker of 40 years of community work in inner-city Atlanta, argues that charity must not do for the poor what they can do for themselves.
Due to emergencies such as natural disasters, the afterward financial aid is greatly welcome. Mr. Lupton advocates (提倡) it should focus on the development of self-supporting. The task can be carried out via, for instance, offering microloans (小微贷款), hiring local builders and suppliers, and trying to found self-supported, locally owned and operated factories. What seldom works, he argues, are untargeted handouts from far-off providers and the sudden arrival of inexperienced volunteer-tourists hoping to earn personal reputation by digging wells or mending roofs that locals are perfectly able to take care of themselves.
Getting charity right isn’t easy. But from money raising to the rising in volunteering among Millennials (千禧一代), from the increasing worldwide willingness to give to the efforts by charity organizations to become more effective and fruitful, there is strong evidence that human beings’ ability of taking care of others is growing along with their ability to help without harming.
Charity can be as simple as holding the door for a stranger and as complex as a global campaign to get rid of malaria (疟疾). Charity works best when it returns the weak to strength, and helps a small town shaken by an earthquake get back on its feet. A successful charity is one that eventually is no longer needed.

My grandfather had a car’s accident yesterday, which made me worried and sadly. The disaster is happened like this. My grandfather was working in a field. Feeling tiring, he sat beside the road to rest. All of sudden, a truck changed its direction, rushed straight to my grandfather, but hit him heavily. The truck driver caused the accident due to speak on his cell phone. My grandfather didn’t get emergency care unless the ambulance arrived. After examination, it was found that my grandfather had several bone broken. He had to receive operations. The doctor said it would take a long time for him to recover.
We should always take care of us as danger is everywhere.
