While encouraging children to do something with rewards of money, toys or even a special activity can be very effective, some eperts believe this prevents youngsters from developing their own sense of responsibility.Alfie ohn, author of Punished by Rewards, believes that giving rewards —even nonmaterial ones —only serves to control youngsters.
But not all eperts agree.According to Dr Virginia Shiller, a psychologist and instructor at the Yale Child Study Center and coauthor of the boo Rewards for ids, rewards can help parents teach their children new habits.Shiller says the ey is in how the rewards are given.“I was inspired to write this boo by my own parenting eperience, and I'm happy to say my sons —now in their late 20s —are very responsible people，”says Shiller.
Whether or not to offer rewards is a personal decision.Here are some tips to help your family.
Mae rewards fairly immediate.Younger ids may need more immediate goals, while older ids can understand woring toward longer­term rewards.Rewards can be small, and they don't need to be money or a toy.Even a trip to the library or par can be a treat.
Set realistic, specific goals.Don't try to convert too many things at once.If you try to wor on getting to school on time, being nice to siblings (兄弟姐妹) and cleaning up toys all at once, that's too much.It's better to target just one or two actions in a particular time.
Mae sure there's not a hidden problem.For eample, if your child refuses to go to school, you may want to loo into whether there is an unnown problem, such as bullying (欺凌) or a learning problem.
Rethin your requests.Are the tass you're asing of your child age­appropriate (合适的) and beneficial？If they are, spend time eplaining the value of those actions.

You now the saying "You're as young as you feel." Well, there may be some truth, according to researchers at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Ellen Langer, a Harvard psychologist who studies how the mind influences the body, and colleagues
their health. They published their results in the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.
In one study that Langer led, 47 women had their hair done. The women who thought their new hairdos made them loo younger did loo younger to objective observers, who were shown before-and-after pictures. The women who thought they looed younger also showed a drop in blood pressure. Another study involving 4,421 men found that thise who became bald(秃顶)at a relatively young age were more liely to get cancer and heart disease than men who did not. Similarly, another study involving 2,017 men found that those who lost their hair early were more liely to develop heart disease.
“We believe that the feelings associat ed with being older than one’s real age account for some of these health outcomes,”the researchers wrote.
The researchers also described studies that found that women who had children later in life were more liely to be healthier and live longer than those who had children early, which they attributed to the fact that these mothers tend to spend more time with younger women. Similarly, people who marry younger partners tend to live longer than those who marry older partners, according to other studies.
Taen together, the research “supports the general mind-body hypothesis(假说)that when a younger mind is prepared, a younger body can accompany it.”While the mechanism remains unclear, the researchers figured that suggestions associated with aging can “mae one unconsciously or consciously aware of old age and set in motion a series of physiological processes that can have real effects on short-term and long-term health.”
A. view
B. appearance
C. Influence
D. creation
29. Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 3?
A. Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos.
B. Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems.
C. Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing.
D. The women who love hairdos loo younger than those don’t.
A. a younger mother is more liely to live longer
B. the younger one of a couple lives much longer
C. often staying with younger people can benefit people’s health
D. people who want to live longer need to marry young
A. Getting bald too early is not good to marry young
B. Women had better give birth later in their life
C. Feeling younger to a couple is very important to their health
D. People’s feeling of their age may have an effect on their own health
D
Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to loo for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seeers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and
friends may accept us, but the worplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a boo by its cover, yet people do “cover”themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an epression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances» so do companies. Dress standards eist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to mae or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would mae the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t epect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to chang e to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
32. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.
B. Customers’choices influence dress standards in companies.
C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
D. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the worplace.
33. What can be inferred from the tet?
A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D. Hiring managers mae the best impression on their candidates.
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the tet?
A. Employees Matter
B. Personal Choices Matter
C. Appearances Matter
D. Hiring Managers Matter
35. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the worplace may best be described as
