7、 do. It does not help them build self-confidence. Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase childrens self-confidence the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children
8、look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. “Teachers should not say things like good job or nice work whenever a child does anything.

About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, “High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a childs advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much pr
10、aise can.“ Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students. “Its important to tell children the truth about what theyve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise,“ Duke adds. “People have got into the habit of not telling children when theyre wrong. That mak

CMany young people want to become pop-stars. It is their great ambition(雄心) of life. They think: pop- stars earn a 1ot of money; they lead
15、interesting and exciting lives; thousands of fans love them; they become famous!Yes, but first they must become stars. Most performers start life with a group. This is the pattern nowadays.

16、all number survive. Almost without exception(例外) they have to work very hard before they reach the top.And very few reach the top-and stay there.
