1、. 阅读理解(2016广东高三适应性测试)It is only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kidsparticularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example,we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic
2、!” 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 arent scaring themselves about what not to do. Why does such a small thing make a difference?
3、It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think,we automatically rehearse(预演). For example,if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes,you wouldnt be able to do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things:“dont” a
4、nd “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 unde
5、rstand 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 firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or wo
6、rse still “How do you think Ill 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. 语篇导读在对孩子们做出命令和指示时,我们所用的正面或负面的表达方式,会影响他们的自信心。1Positive choice of words help
