It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.
Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”
Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.
4. Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.
A. learn in different situations
B. do things carefully
C. build up their confidence
D. improve their imagination
5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. A child will act on what is instructed.
B. One can't help imagining what is heard.
C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D. One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.
6. Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?
A. How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?
B. Don't play by the lake.
C. Don't you dare to walk through the red light?
D. Fasten your seat belt.
7. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. positive instructions guide kids
B. praise makes kids confident
C right instructions keep kids safe D. clear commands make kids different
C
Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.
Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publicationToxicon.
The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.
More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.
Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.
“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.
Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.
The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.
“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By telling a story.
B. By listing figures.
C. By referririg to documents.
D. By making a comparison.
9. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer?
A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.
B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.
C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.
D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.
10. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa?
A. Lack of antivenom medication.
B. Environmental damage and climate change.
C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.
D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.
11. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?
A. Itis taken from antibodies of sheep.
B. There is only one effective antivenom available.
C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.
D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.
D
Once small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.
However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the
shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.
The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.
“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.
12. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.
A. stress their need for preserving produce
B. show their challenge in harvesting crops
C. express their wish to reach larger markets
D. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport
13. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?
A. It is financially supported by FAO.
B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.
C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.
D. It is based on plants’own defence system.
14. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?
A. How to expand farms.
B. How to earn more money.
C. How to produce more tasty food.
D. How to profit farmers in remote area.
15. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. promote a product
B. present a technology
C. advertise SmartTech
D. introduce James Rogers
