    Children are being indirectly affectly by the impact of the recession (经济衰退) on their parents, the Children’s society warns.

    The chief executive of the Children’s Society, Bob Reitemeier, said that children were “on the front of recession”. He said the recession made it even more important to try to end child poverty.

    The answers suggest children from poorer backgrounds are more likely to be affected, but over a third of children across all backgrounds said they were aware that the recession was worrying their parents.

    Fifteen-year-old Patricia said her family felt the impact of the recession on their everyday budget(预算). “We have to save up our money and do not spend it so much on unnecessary things,”she said.

    Those questioned appeared to have great awareness of the economic crisis, which, unsurprisingly, was higher among the older children. But around 15% said they hadn’t been affected by it.

    Recent figures showed that in 2007 there were 850,000 young people with no particular occupation. An official from the government said it was so “disappointing” that some young people were concerned about the economy.

    Parents are clearly best placed to talk to their children about their worries, but schools also play an important role in teaching young people the skills they need to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.

    (    )68.Which of the following is true?

    A. It is more important to try to end child poverty in the recession.

    B.Children from poorer areas are less likely to be affected.

    C.All the children questioned are worried about the economy.

    D.That some young people are worrying about the economy is “good news”.

    (    )69.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5?

    A. The poorer background.   B.The impact of the recession. 

    C. Everyday budget.        D.The government.

    (    )70.What’s the main idea of the passage?

    A. Many children are concerned about the recession.

    B.Children are being directly affected by the recession.

    C.The recession affected children indirectly.

    D. Schools play an important role in teaching young people how to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.

    Are your children liked by their teachers? All parents want their children to impress(给...的印象) their teachers and succeed in school. You can get your children to impress their teachers by following these easy steps.

    Make sure they’re prepared. Teachers are impressed by children coming to school prepared to learn. Make sure they have everything they need—pencils textbooks, erasers and so on.

    Require them to be active in class. Teach them to ask teachers questions when they don’t understand something. Some children think teachers are bothered by questions, but most teachers are impressed when children take the initiative(采取主动) in asking questions. They should take part in class discussions, giving their opinions politely.

    Keep your children healthy. If your children are tired and hungry, they won’t be ready to learn. Children need at least 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Feed your children a solid breakfast and prepare a healthy lunch. Provide them with fruit and other healthy foods—apples or bananas are better for them than cookies.

    Make sure that your children do their homework. If they really don’t understand it, discuss it with them patiently. Don’t help them do their homework. Teachers can always tell who it is that does the work.

    Teach your children good manners and habits. Children need to arrive at the school punctually, and be polite to their teachers and classmates. Parents need to teach these skills at home. Nothing is sweeter than children who say “please” and “thank you”, and these are children their teachers are certain to love.

    If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said.

        Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster,” did not work as well.

        The study found t hat when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of the vegetables-either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas-in laboratory taste tests, the study said.

    Researchers randomly assigned（分派）173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”.

    Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day of 12 days, Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables-and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once disliked vegetable three months later.

    Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.

    1.The purpose of writing the passage is        .

    A．to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetables

    B．to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s diet

    C．to explain why children hate to eat vegetables

    D．to present a proper way of vernal praise to parents

    2.The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “            ”.

    A．shoot from behind the back              

    B．make a lire in the hackyard

    C．produce an unexpected result            

    D．achieve what was planned

    3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

    A．Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery.

    B．It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables.

    C．Oral praise wokrs quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables.

    D．Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables.

    4.How did the researchers get their conclusion from the experiment?

    A．By comparison.                           B．By asking questions.

    C．By giving examples,  D．By discussion.

    5.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

    A．Children like rewards, not verbal praise.

    B．Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone.

    C．Children are difficult to inspire.

    D．Parents should give up verbal praise.
