四.阅读理解

A

Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building?

She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. “I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts （工作班次）are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school.n

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just ￡ 90, before tax and insurance?“It's better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work 'unsocial hours' should get a bit extra/*

The hours she's chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesift think that puts any pressure on their relationship?

Her work isn't physically very hard. but it's not exactly pleasant, eithe匚"I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs .If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they'd be a bit more careful."

The fact that she s working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three?“ Since Fve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself - and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all lia^-e a good laugh, so the time ne^'er drags."

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living?"They think you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write,M said Margaret. “ I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what Fd been doing, but I don't think tliat way any more.

For years we have been told tliat encouragmg a child's self-respect in important to his or her success in life ?But child expert are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect ? Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the

The implication （含义）of saying ^You are the prettiest girl in class「or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort ,is that you love her only when she looks the best .scores the highest ?achieves the most ? And this carries over to the classroom ?

Social psychologist Carol Dweck , PhD, tested the effects of overpraise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University ? She found that kids praised for "trying bard did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being smart .

Praising attributes （品质）or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you ?have that quality , and it devalues effort , so children are afraid to take on challenges / says Dweck , now at Stanford Unh-ersity . "Th已y figure they'd better quit while they be ahead ?"
