举一反三
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. That’s 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! You’re 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 didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.
小题1:The purpose of writing the passage is       .
A.to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetables
B.to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s diet
C.to explain why children hate to eat vegetables
D.to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents
小题2:The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “           ”.
A.shoot from behind the back
B.make a lire in the hackyard
C.produce an unexpected result
D.achieve what was planned
小题3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.
B.It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.
C.Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.
D.Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.
小题4:How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?
A.By comparison.B.By asking questions.
C.By giving examples,D.By discussion.
小题5:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Children like rewards, not verbal praise.
B.Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.
C.Children are difficult to inspire.
D.Parents should give up verbal praise.

A blocked airway(呼吸道) can kill someone in three to four minutes, but it can take more than eight minutes for an ambulance to arrive. So a simple procedure such as opening someone"s airway can save their life while they"re waiting for emergency medical help. This means you"re more likely to give first aid to someone you know than a stranger.
There are many misconceptions(误解) surrounding first aid. Below are the ‘most popular’ ones with details of what you should do.
You should put butter or cream on a burn. The only thing you should put on a burn is cold water - keep the butter for cooking. Put the affected area under cold running water for at least ten minutes.
The best way to treat bleeding is to put the wound under a tap. If you put a bleeding wound under a tap you wash away the body"s clotting agents(凝血剂) and make it bleed more. Instead put pressure on the wound with whatever is available to stop or slow down the flow of blood. As soon as possible call 999. Keep pressure on the wound until help arrives.
Nosebleeds are best treated by putting the head back. If you put the head back during a nosebleed, all the blood goes down the back of the airway. Instead advise them to tilt(倾斜) their head forwards and ask the person to pinch(捏) the end of their nose and breathe through their mouth.
You need lots of training to do first aid. You don’t - what you mostly need is common sense. You can learn enough first aid in a few minutes to save someone"s life – whether it’s from a book, attending a course or watching videos online.
Remember: anyone can save a life

A.It will help the bleeding stop at once.
B.It will help produce more clotting agents.
C.It will produce more pressure on the wound

小题4:Which of the following statement is RIGHT?
A.When a person’s nose bleed, please put the head back.
B.You can learn first aid in quickly in different ways.

Science can’t explain the power of pets,but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure(血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack,reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings.For some.an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife.A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress(紧张)1evels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(算术)or held a hand in ice water.Subjects completed the tasks alone,with a husband/wife,a close friend or with a pet.People with pets did it best.Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates.With pets in the room,people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions.It seems people feel more relaxed(放松)around pets,says Allen,who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits.Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs;a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program.On average,people lost about 11 pounds,or 5% of their body weight.Their dogs did even better,losing an average of 12 pounds,more than 15%of their body weight.Dog owners didn’t lose any more weight than those without dogs but,say researchers,got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs--and found it worth doing.
小题1:What does the text mainly discuss?

Cancer is feared by everyone. And there is more and more fear about cancer. Not the disease itself — there is no such thing as a high incidence rates(发病率) of cancer. Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are not on the rise. However, some kinds of cancer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety. The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less, scientific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is “cleaned up.” This is not at all the meaning.
The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world — for example, the high incidence of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America. These data show there may be specific environmental influences, but largely based on personal life-style, which determines the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities — that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer, counting up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere.
小题1:According to the passage, the incidence of cancer is generally believed _____.
A.to be based on inactive life style
B.to be due to anxiety
C.to result from environmental influences
D.to be caused by heavy smoking
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer’s opinion about the relationship between cancer and environment is _____.
A.positive  B.negative  C.neutral   D.approving
小题3:According to the passage, the writer seems to feel that _____.
A.the risk of catching cancer is on the rise
B.the whole earth is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen
C.the risk of catching cancer isn’t so great as people think
D.cancer can be cured if the environment is cleaned up
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Cancer and Environment  
B.The Fear Caused by Cancers
C.Data on Cancer Incidence  
D.Cancer and its Investigation

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self- respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here"s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk"s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don"t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk"s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it"s easy to think and act honorably again when we"re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it"s started, it"s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.
小题1:According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________.
A.self-respect B.financial rewards
C.advertising ability D.friendly relationship
小题2:The phrase "bringing the error to the clerk"s attention" (in Para.5) means ________.
A.telling the truth to the clerk
B.offering advice to the clerk
C.asking the clerk to be more responsible
D.reminding the clerk of the charged item
小题3:How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?
A.We"ll be very excited.
B.We"ll feel unfortunate.
C.We"ll have a sense of honor.
D.We"ll feel sorry for the clerk.
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A.How to Live Truthfully
B.Importance of Peacefulness
C.Ways of Gaining Self-respect
D.Happiness through Honorable Actions
