Time out, extra chores and taking away privileges are more useful forms of disciplining (惩戒)naughty children than spanking or hitting, according to a study on Wednesday.
About 94 percent of parents use some form of physical punishment to teach their two-year-olds right from wrong, according to research studies. But psychologists say it could lead to later emotional and behavioral problems.
Even children who were only spanked some of the time are more likely to show signs of sadness or have less confidence.
“The key is to be fair and do the same thing each time. Doing something like hitting a child that seems cruel at best doesn’t help and can put a child at risk for problems,” said Dr Paul Frick, of the University of New Orleans in Louisians.
“It is better to use other punishments,” he added.
The use of physical punishment to teach children has long been debated. In countries such as Austria, Finland, Germany and Sweden, it is illegal to use physical punishment at home or in schools.
Frick and his team, who studied the effects of physical punishment on 98 children, said they couldn’t find any positive effects. Some children learned more from the hitting than what the parent was trying to teach them.
“The key is to have a lot of different forms of punishment depending on the age of the child,” said Frick, who reported his findings in the Journal of Applied Child Psychology.
He recommended time out for younger children and taking away television and electronic toys for older children. Giving extra chores can also get the message across.
Other measures are at least as effective as physical punishment and have less harmful potential consequences.
The researchers kept children whom they thought were at risk of later conduct problems out of the test and an equal number of other children who acted as a control group, to study what measures would be most helpful.
They questioned the parents and the children about positive and negative parenting behavior including the use of physical punishment.
“We got it from both viewpoints,” said Frick.
He added that children on the receiving end of a hit can learn that when they are upset and angry they hit, rather than understanding their behavior was wrong and that they need to do better.
67. What’s the purpose of the writer to write this article?
A.To debate if physical punishment is illegal.
B.To introduce how to deal with young kids.
C.To talk about how to discipline young kids.
D.To order parents not to spank young kids.
68. Which of the following punishments is NOT recommended by Frick and his team?
A. Taking away toys B. Not allowing watching TV
C. Doing more housework. D. Switching TV channels
69. What should be kept in mind when disciplining a kid?
A. How he or she usually behaves.
B. Tell them why they are punished.
C. Use different forms of punishment each time.
D. Be fair and stick to the same principle.
70. According to the passage, why did Dr Frick advise against physical punishment?
A. Because the children may hit people as a solution to problems.
B. Because the children will learn their behavior is wrong in time.
C. Because it is illegal to use physical punishment in certain countries.
D. Because parents think it’s the easiest way to teach kids right from wrong.

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it" s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant" s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant"s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal" s tusk. The fourth, who caught hold of the elephant"s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant" s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant" s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man" s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a "simple fact", it" s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a "simple fact", try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it"s hot!
56. What makes people think about simple facts differently?
A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another.
B. The fact that people have different experience in the simple facts.
C. The fact that people often disagree with one another.
D. The fact that it" s hard to make up one"s mind about simple facts.
57. The writer"s advice is____.
A. we should never think about simple facts
B. we should never judge something with a one-sided view
C. we should not agree about simple facts
D. we must learn from the six blind men
58. After reading the last paragraph, we may think of ____.
A. Newton" s law B. Galileo" s theory of falling objects
C. Einstein" s Theory of Relativity D. Marx" s On Capital
59. The main idea of this passage is ____.
A. people often judge something according to his own experience

Having one of those days or weeks —— when everything seems to trouble you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster —— often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster（破坏者）. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper; the pessimistic (悲观的) messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job. ‘vs’ I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing (想象), all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to clear up worries is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options (选择权). By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won"t improve your mood
TV may not help much. You need to increase your energy level and stimulate something in your mind —— that the TV show “Neighbours” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.
72. We learn from the passage that it might help rid us of a bad mood_______.
A. to do nothing about it B. to take a slow walk on the beach
C. to do some exercises with light music D. to talk it to neighbours
73. Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A. It is not complicated to do so. B. It is an area to be easily controlled.
C. It helps beat a bad mood. D. It brings us a new technique.
74. TV may not improve your mood because_________.
A. it sometimes shows what happens around you
B. it keeps you stay unmoved
C. it reminds you of eating and drinking
D. it produces a calming effect
75. This passage most probably appears in_______.
A. a book on physical exercises B. a doctor’s handbook
C. a notice about amusement D. a magazine on health
B
Men are happier with money, while women find greater joy in friendships and relationships with their children, co – workers and bosses, a new global survey indicates.
The online survey of 28,153 people in more than 51 countries by global marketing and information firm Nielsen found that as the world struggles with a recession（衰退） and financial markets remain declined, many people are reminding themselves that money can’t buy happiness．
The Nielsen Happiness Study found that globally, women are happier than men in 48 of the 51 countries surveyed in August 2009, and only in Brazil, South Africa and Vietnam were men found to be happier than women．
“Because they are happier with non-economic factors, women’s happiness is more recession-proof which might explain why women around the world are happier in general than men are,” Nielsen Vice President of Consumer Research Bruce Paul said in a statement．
Japanese women reported the greatest difference and are 15 percent happier than Japanese men．Women are also more optimistic about the future, scoring higher than men on predictions of their happiness in the next six months．
Women were also more content with their marriage life, the study found．Japanese and New Zealand women reported the greatest difference in satisfaction with their marriage life．
Men are generally happier with their physical health than women, and this is especially pronounced in South Africa．Egypt bucks the trend, with women rating their happiness with their health considerably higher than men．
Globally, men rated their happiness with their mental health higher than women．It was the same in Belgium, South Korea, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Egypt, and Israel．
There are three main drivers of happiness globally, according to the study: personal financial situation, mental health and job/career．Being satisfied with your partner is also important for happiness．
61．The passage mainly centers around ______．
A．key drivers leading to happiness
B．a study on happiness between sexes

Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too 21 to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to 22 work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.
Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under 23 of death. In the next three days, I 24 my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, 25 the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long 26 back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so 27 taught me what to believe and what to 28 . They said to me: Take time, 29 time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蛎）to be opened but my opportunity to be 30 . To me, each day is such a 31 gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to 32 .
I’ve learned to 33 those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on 34 water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 35 of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like 36 one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost. 37 ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a 38 of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness 39 having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m 40 now, a little, and happier.
