专题07 阅读理解之议论文
（2022秋·广东肇庆·九年级校考期中）Scientists found that people who have fewer friends in real life are happier than those who have plenty of friends.
Researchers from the University of Leeds, UK, studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1,500 people. Those who took part in the survey gave details (细节) about their ages, social interactions (社交活动), and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally were happier than those who had a large number of superficial (表面的) friends.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Wandi Bruine, one of the researchers.
Bruine found that older people had smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles were closer to them. Younger people, on the other hand, had bigger circles that were made up of “peripheral (次要的) others”—people who are not true friends, but just people they know. These so-called friends didn’t affect younger people’s happiness.
The results of the study showed that the stereotypes (偏见) society had about old people being sad and lonely might not be right.
“The research shows that older people’s smaller social circles didn’t have a bad effect on social satisfaction and happiness. In fact, older people had a better feeling of happiness than younger people,” said Brine.
Based on these results, the study believes that people should pay more attention to the ties with close friends instead of increasing the number of friends.
1．According to the study, people may be happier when they ________.
A．have a lot of followers on social media B．are satisfied with their work and lives
C．make friends with people who are older D．have a small circle of friends
2．(新题型) The underlined word “affect” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A．matter B．hurt C．influence D．discover
3．What can we know from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A．Older people have closer friends than young people.
B．Young people don’t need to make peripheral friends.
C．Older people’s happiness has nothing to do with their friends.
D．Both old and young people find it hard to make friends.
4．According to the passage, Bruine thought the older people were ________.
A．nervous B．happy C．lonely D．sad
5．The passage mainly talks about ________.
A．different types of friends
B．changes in people’s happiness levels
C．the relationship between happiness and the number of friends
D．interactions between old and young people

【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项最新的科学研究发现，即现实生活中拥有少量亲密朋友的人比拥有大量普通朋友的人更幸福。

（2022秋·广东佛山·九年级校考期中）Everyone lives in social groups from the day they were born. In the family, there are parents and relatives. In the school, there are teachers and classmates. At work, there are teammates and leaders.
Often, some small things may lead to misunderstandings(误会). Then the relationship(关系) between each other may get worse and worse. However, if we can stand in others’ shoes, we may understand other people’s feelings, and then things will be solved. So how to treat and deal with the relationship correctly becomes more important.
In society, understanding other people can help us see and understand situations in a different way. Learning some basic skills can help us understand each other better. Understanding others is influenced(被影响) by feelings. This means that if a person is happy, he’ll be more willing to help and understand others. But if a person feels angry, he is less likely to want to understand other people.
Listening is one of the best ways to understand others better. If someone is talking, listen carefully. This will make him or her feel good. He or she will be more likely to share the problems with you. Sometimes, we only care our individual opinions, so we think everything we say is correct. No matter what others say, we just refuse to listen. As a result, we won’t understand others.
No matter what kind of roles we are in society, when having different opinions or meeting difficulties, we should keep calm to think about the situation we’re facing. Every small act can build good social connections and make us have a better understanding of each other.
6．When a person feels ________, he will be more willing to help and understand others.
A． B． C． D．
7．Which is one of the best ways to understand others better?
A．Talking loudly. B．Communicating less.
C．Refusing directly. D．Listening carefully.
8．What does the underlined word “individual” probably mean?
A．Important. B．Personal. C．Interesting. D．Bad.
9．What can you learn from the passage?
A．People should care more about the important things in life.
B．Small misunderstandings may not lead to worse relationship.
C．We should keep calm when facing difficulties or having different opinions.
D．If we stand in others’ shoes, things will become worse.
10．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Ideas about understanding others
B．Differences between social groups
C．Ideas about communicating with people
D．Ideas about changing the situation you are facing

【答案】6．A 7．D 8．B 9．C 10．A

7．细节理解题。根据“Listening is one of the best ways to understand others better. If someone is talking, listen carefully.”可知，仔细倾听是更好地理解他人的最好方法之一。故选D。
8．词义猜测题。根据“Sometimes, we only care our individual opinions...No matter what others say, we just refuse to listen.”可知，拒绝倾听他人的观点，也就是只关心自己的观点，所以“individual”与“Personal”意思相近，为“私人的，个人的”。故选B。

（2022秋·广东广州·九年级广州市第二中学校考期中）Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades? Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles (斗争) of great scientists.
The American Psychological Association (美国心理学会) did a study. More than 400 students in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great Scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein escaped from Nazi Germany to avoid being killed. Group 3 read about the scientists’ intellectual (智力的) struggles, such as Marie Curie’s tailed experiments. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these problems.
The students took a science test before the study. After the six-week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn’t see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.
The study was led by Xiaodong Lin Siegler, a professor. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was born a genius. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures.
Students who read the struggle stories were more likely to say great scientists were like themselves. The “great minds” also had to solve problems to achieve success.
Xiaodong says today’s science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students hardly consider science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And they should pay more attention to how these scientists responded to the problems they met along the way.
11．According to the passage, we can improve our physics and chemistry grades by ________.
A．reading the achievements of great scientists more carefully
B．listening more carefully to our physics and chemistry teachers
C．learning about the difficulties that great scientists once experienced
D．spending more time remembering the lists of facts in our science textbooks
12．Who took part in the study held by the American Psychological Association?
A．Students who went to schools in New York City.
B．Students who Studied in secondary school.
C．Students who were interested in physics and chemistry.
D．Students who were poor at physics and chemistry grades.
13．According to the last paragraph, Xiaodong thinks that ________.
A．Today’s science textbooks bring much science to life
B．Students should study harder to become a great scientist.
C．Students only need to remember a long list of facts.
D．It is meaningful to learn how scientists struggle to succeed.
14．Where can we probably find this passage?
A．A novel. B．A fashion magazine. C．A story book. D．An education website.

【答案】11．C 12．A 13．D 14．D

【导语】本文主要从探讨如何提高物理和化学成绩入手，通过美国心理学会做的研究和相关教授的看法，得出结论：学习科学家在解决问题中的思维方式才是最有意义的。
11．推理判断题。根据“These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these problems.”和“Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades.”可知，这些分组研究告诉学生们科学家们是如何应对这些问题的，也就是说通过学习科学家们曾经经历的困难去改善物理和化学成绩，故选C。
12．细节理解题。根据“More than 400 students in New York City took part in it.”可知，来自纽约的学生参加了这项研究，故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据“Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed.”可知，肖东认为教科书应该包含更多关于伟大的科学家是如何努力取得成功的故事，也就是说了解科学家如何努力取得成功才是有意义的，故选D。
14．推理判断题。本文主要是以提高物理和化学成绩入手，讨论应该学习科学家解决问题的思维方式和方法，可推测这篇文章应该出现在教育网站上，故选D。
（2022春·江苏南通·九年级校联考期中）A phenomenon known as “kuakuaqun” or “praise group” has taken Chinese social media by storm. The number of topics like this on Weibo has reached more than 23 million. Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ, where they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement.
Just imagine the scenes: You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise. When you post it into a praise group, you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein. It’s 10 p.m. and you are the only person in the office. You receive a reply, “You are so hardworking! You’ll definitely get a higher position! Praise to you!” Even if you go to a toilet and forget taking some tissue, someone points out that “you’re caring about trees and the environment! Good for you!”
How would you feel?
The appearance of “praise groups” provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hears. It also shows the life and social pressure of today’s young people. Moreover, the popularity of these chat groups is a reflection of Chinese culture which values modesty and humility—people often hide their true emotion of seeking and giving praise. As long as people’s praise doesn’t sound obviously untruthful, you’re likely to welcome it. Sometimes, people enjoy praising others as well, just because here they can drop everything and have fun by giving lavish(夸张的) comments. However, some people are also willing to encourage and support others from their hearts.
Some netizens(网民) shared their ideas, “I take it as a way of adjusting the mood. The praise group helps in adding our confidence. Some sincere praises can even be inspiring(鼓舞人心的). However, if you’re really in trouble, it is you who holds the final key.” Clearly, some dishonest praise comes at a cost. Chen Kan, an professor in Fudan University’s psychology department warned that “The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the ‘false self’, which makes it harder to see the ‘true self’. In the end, people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn’t help solve the real problem. Soon the whole group will be silent and dead.”
Perhaps the praise groups are “a flash in the pan”, which might disappear sooner or later. No matter how you think of it, only when you can understand the pressure. criticism and praise correctly, will you face them bravely. Don’t lose yourself in others’ voices—that is what really matters.
15．The writer mentions the examples in Paragraph 2 to show ________.
A．who wants to join “praise groups”
B．how people can join “praise groups”
C．what people can get from “praise groups”
D．when people need to join “praise groups”
16．Why do people like to join “praise groups”?
A．To hide real feelings of themselves. B．To ask for suggestions from others.
C．To express the values of their own. D．To get comfort and be encouraged.
17．According to the passage, the writer may agree that ________.
A．we should see ourselves correctly and positively
B．praise group is effective for dealing with troubles
C．we should speak highly of others to please each other
D．praise group is necessary for building self-confidence
18．Which is the best title for the passage?
A．“Praise Group”: Is it worth giving it a try?
B．“Praise Group”: Does it help to know yourself?
C．“Praise Group”: Is it important to praise others?
D．“Praise Group”: Does it change your personality?

【答案】15．C 16．D 17．A 18．A

【导语】本文主要就“夸夸群”这一现象进行讨论，辩证分析其背后的原因。
15．细节理解题。根据“You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise. When you post it into a praise group, you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein.”你考试得了A，你想得到表扬，当你把它发到一个夸夸群时，你不仅因为你的努力得到表扬，还因为你和爱因斯坦一样聪明。可知是讲在“夸夸群”能得到什么，故选C。
16．细节理解题。根据“The appearance of ‘praise groups’ provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hearts.”“夸夸群”的出现为日常生活中不易获得的积极反馈的普通人提供了一个从内心获得安慰的机会，可知是因为希望被认可，故选D。
17．细节理解题。根据“only when you can understand the pressure, criticism and praise correctly, will you face them bravely. Don’t lose yourself in others’ voices”只有当你能正确理解压力、批评和表扬时，你才会勇敢地面对它们，不要迷失在别人的声音中，可知作者认为要正确积极地面对自己，故选A。
18．最佳标题题。根据“The appearance of ‘praise groups’ provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hearts.”“夸夸群”的出现为日常生活中不易获得的积极反馈的普通人提供了一个从内心获得安慰的机会；“The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the ‘false self’, which makes it harder to see the ‘true self’.’ In the end, people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn’t help solve the real problem.”最大的风险是继续强调“虚假的自我”。这使得更难看到“真实的自我”，最终，群里的人会发现这种不合理的表扬无助于解决真正的问题，结合文章内容，可知文章主要探讨了“夸夸群”是否值得加入。故选A。
（2022春·安徽宿州·九年级统考期中）Everyone has dreams and goals for the future. But why do you still end up with nothing? What separates success people from the dreamers is their persistent（饮而不舍的）action. You will often find some of your lessons in school very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.
This is the famous formula（公式）for success:
Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Achieve
Most people have what they want（Dream）and think they can realize their dreams（Believe）. But they do nothing. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to Take Persistent Action（Act）. “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be difficulties in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
19．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?
A．Ask people for help B．Try and keep trying
C．Get ready to create wonders D．Prepare for a harder one
20．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve” ?
A．To support his idea. B．To ask readers to explain it.
C．To show what his goals are. D．To compare it with a bridge.

A．Doing Something Valuable B．Studying Hard and Making Progress
C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D．Separating Successful People from Dreams

【答案】19．B 20．A 21．C

【导语】本文主要讲述了我们要用实际行动实现我们的梦想。
19．细节理解题。根据“You will often find some of your lessons in school very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.”可知，你会经常发现你的一些功课很难。努力继续努力，你一定能成功地处理你遇到的任何困难。故选B。
20．细节理解题。根据“For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to Take Persistent Action （Act）. ‘I’ll try’ creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be difficulties in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.”可知，作者在公式下面对公式进行了相关描述并阐述了作者的一些见解，也就是使用例子来支持自己的观点。故选A。
21．最佳标题题。根据“Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.”及全文可知，整篇文章都在讲述我们要用实际行动实现我们的梦想。故选C。
（2022春·四川自贡·九年级四川省荣县中学校校考期中）Modern technology has made it easier for common people to rent things or services to (将……租给……) others. With an Internet connection and a mobile phone, we can find almost anything. It could be a new dress to wear on the weekend, or someone to clean our house. This is the sharing economy (共享经济), and it is now a $20 billion-a-year business. But some people are now asking: Just how good is it for society in general?
Not long ago, when people went on vacation, they usually stayed in a hotel. Today they have the choice of staying in someone’s private house. They pay less, but what influence does this have on the hotel industry and the economy? Hotels receive fewer guests, but they still have to pay salaries (薪水) to their staff and taxes (税) to the government. Many people who rent out rooms do not. So the government gets less money, and some hotels might even close down.
Then there are car-sharing websites. Instead of using your own car for a long trip, you can get a ride with someone for a small amount of money. Some people argue this is better for the environment since fewer cars on the roads mean less pollution. But how many people choose to use these websites rather than taking the bus or the train? Public transportation is, after all, much kinder to the environment than cars.
Many websites offer cooking services. Instead of going to a restaurant, you can use your mobile phone to order dishes from people in your neighborhood. There is even a website where you can buy leftovers (剩饭) that people haven’t eaten! This is sure to save you time and money. But is it risky? Can you trust the people cooking your food? Restaurants have to follow strict rules to make sure their food is safe to eat.
There is no doubt that the sharing economy is growing. Some economists think it will be worth $335 billion by 2025. As new technology makes accommodation ( 住宿), transportation, and sharing food easier, the question of “Is it good for the economy, the environment, and people?” will remain.
22．What does the underlined word it in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Modern technology. B．A mobile phone. C．The sharing economy.
23．What may happen if people choose to stay in private homes instead of hotels during their vacation?
①People can save a little money.    ②The government gets more taxes.
③Hotels might go out of business.
A．①② B．①③ C．②③
24．Which of the following does the writer support most according to Paragraph 3?
A．Driving your own car. B．Getting a ride with someone. C．Taking the bus or the train.
25．What do the economists think the sharing economy will be like for the next few years?
A．It will end. B．It will grow. C．It will bring the government trouble.

【答案】22．C 23．B 24．C 25．B

【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了共享经济日益壮大，使得住宿、交通和共享食物变得更加容易，但它无疑会对一些传统行业造成冲击，如酒店；而且对环境、餐饮带来的问题也有待考究。
22．词句猜测题。根据“This is the sharing economy (共享经济)”和“But some people are now asking: Just how good is it for society in general?”可知，第一段介绍了什么是共享经济，但有些人会问：共享经济对整个社会到底有多好；因此，这里的“it”指的是“共享经济”。故选C。
23．细节理解题。根据“Today they have the choice of staying in someone’s private house. They pay less ...”和“So the government gets less money, and some hotels might even close down.”可知，如果人们选择在度假期间呆在私人住宅而不是酒店，他们将花费更少的钱，从而使得他们可以节约一点钱；而政府获得的钱更少，酒店可能面临倒闭的风险。故选B。
24．推理判断题。根据“Public transportation is, after all, much kinder to the environment than cars.”可知，就环保而言，公共交通比汽车对环境更友好；由此推知作者更支持人们乘坐公共交通（如公交车、火车）出行。故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据“Some economists think it will be worth $335 billion by 2025.”可知，经济学家认为共享经济在未来几年将会增长。故选B。
（2022春·重庆沙坪坝·九年级重庆南开中学校考期中）Two months ago, Starbucks apologized (道歉) to the public for asking four local policemen eating food outside a Starbucks store to leave, which caused lots of discussions on the Internet.
Reports show some people threw eggs to the store and some stopped the cleaning staff from cleaning up to express their dissatisfaction and anger with the company.
Such behavior should not happen, nor is it necessary. We don’t support any radical (激进的) action. And it is believed this is not what most Chinese people would like to see, nor does it stand for the general public opinion in China.
In fact, the backlash (激烈反应) about Starbucks’ behavior happened for some reasons. Starbucks said that there was no “driving away the police”, and it was just a “misunderstanding” caused by the improper communication between the staff and the policemen. The way Starbucks apologized didn’t take the feelings of the Chinese public seriously.
As an American company that has been deeply developed in China for many years, Starbucks should have a full understanding of the basic values of Chinese society and respect them. People in China respect the hard work of the police and show their kindness to the police, but the Starbucks staff drove away the four policemen and asked them to find another place, complaining that they could have a negative influence on the store’s image. That is another reason why many people were still angry with what the company did.
________ It once apologized to the public for some other events such as selling food that went bad and not accepting coins from customers, but the result even added the oil to the fire. Starbucks should reflect on why this happens repeatedly.
26．The reason why Starbucks apologized to the four policemen was that ________.
A．the Starbucks staff failed to invite them to the store
B．the policemen punished the staff for their bad behavior
C．the Starbucks staff were influenced by the policemen
D．the policemen were required to leave by the staff
27．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A．Many people weren’t pleased with Starbucks.
B．Starbucks should fully understand Chinese basic values.
C．The writer is for the radical behavior towards Starbucks.
D．Starbucks once apologized to the public for some other events.
28．Which sentence is the best to put in the “________”?
A．Starbucks should care more about food safety as well.
B．This is not the first time for Starbucks to light a fire.
C．However, that does not mean Starbucks has no problems.
D．So what action should Starbucks take to deal with the terrible situation?
29．The structure of the passage may be ________.
(①=Para.1  ②=Para.2  ③=Para.3  ④=Para.4  ⑤=Para.5  ⑥=Para.6)
A． B． C． D．

【答案】26．D 27．C 28．B 29．A

【导语】本文介绍了星巴克引发的一些负面事件及对这些事件的评价与剖析。
26．细节理解题。根据“Two months ago, Starbucks apologized (道歉) to the public for asking four local policemen eating food outside a Starbucks store to leave”可知，星巴克向四名警察道歉的原因是这些警察被星巴克员工要求离开。故选D。
27．细节理解题。根据“We don’t support any radical (激进的) action.”可知，作者不支持任何激进的行为，选项C与原文表述不符。故选C。
28．推理判断题。根据“It once apologized to the public for some other events such as selling food that went bad and not accepting coins from customers, but the result even added the oil to the fire.”可知，此段介绍了星巴克引发的另一些负面争议，它对此的道歉结果甚至火上浇油，由此可知选项B“这不是星巴克第一次点火。”符合语境。故选B。
29．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段引出星巴克道歉的事件；第二、三段回顾了该事件并简单评价了此事；第四、五段是对该事件背后原因的剖析；第六段回顾了星巴克此前引发的另一些争端。故选A。
（2022春·山东烟台·九年级统考期中）
①In July last year, China introduced the “double reduction(双减)” policy. It hopes to reduce students’ learning burden(负担). How do students feel about this new policy?
②“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13-year-old Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “I have joined a group. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.”
③According to Shen, teachers now teach at a much slower speed. “Our teachers are also giving us more chances to do experiments(实验) and learn from real life,” said Shen. “For example, we went to research ants in a field during a biology class. Some students now spend more time having fun when homework is finished early.”
④For 13-year-old Zhang Hangming from Tianjin, the best thing about “double reduction” is the increased time in after-school activities. “We are not encouraged to buy workbooks anymore, I can learn all kinds of skills out of class,” said Zhang.
⑤Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing. “This is a much better way to learn things than just hitting the books. Each exam shows my progress as well as my weak points,” Zhang said.
⑥Shen also pointed out that when the burden is reduced, self-discipline becomes the key. “Exams push me to study harder. But if you use all the free time to relax, you might fall behind your peers(同龄人),” he said.
30．How do Shen and Zhang like having fewer exams?
A．It has some disadvantages.
B．It can certainly bring good results.
C．It is good for their health and study.
D．It will be welcomed by every student.
31．What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To encourage students to relax themselves in their free time.
B．To express how happy Shen feels about the new policy.
C．To tell students that they still need to spend certain time studying.
D．To discuss how to solve the problems the new policy brings.
32．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．How to reduce students’ learning burden.
B．What students do in their spare time.
C．How to make students’ free time more colorful.
D．Different ideas about the “double reduction” policy.

【答案】30．A 31．C 32．D

【导语】本文是学生们对于“双减政策”发表了不同的看法。
30．细节理解题。根据“Both Shen and Zhang find there are fewer exams now. But they don’t think it’s necessarily a good thing”可知，他们并不认为这是一件好事，这样会有一定的弊端，故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据“self-discipline becomes the key…”可知，最后一段想表明虽然“双减政策”减轻了学生的学习负担，但是自律变成了关键，学生们仍然要在学习上花费一定的时间，故选C。
32．主旨大意题。根据“In July last year, China introduced the ‘double reduction(双减)’ policy…How do students feel about this new policy”可知，本文是学生们对于“双减政策”发表了不同的看法，故选D。
（2022秋·河北石家庄·九年级统考期中）Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player till now. Once he was making a television advertisement, all he needed to do was to miss a shot.
For Michael, this was difficult. He had conditioned(定位) himself to succeed whenever he was throwing the ball. Every time he threw a basketball, it went in. Every time he tried to miss a shot, he couldn’t. It took him over 20 attempts(尝试) before he missed a shot.
For Michael, success is a strong habit. It took him a lot of time to break it. Just like drinking, smoking and collecting things, success is also a habit. Once it is formed, it is difficult to break. Many people think that success is difficult to keep. They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus. The truth is that it is simply a habit and as easy to keep as any other habit.

（2022秋·河北石家庄·九年级统考期中）All kids are good, but all kids can also be bad. Even the best kid can be bad sometimes. So, what should happen when a kid does something bad? Should parents just talk to the kid? Or, should they punish the kid?
These used to be easy questions. In the past, young children and students were beaten when they did something bad. It was common for parents to beat young children. They would hit the child with their hands. If a student talked in class or didn’t do his homework, his teacher would hit him on the hand.
I’m shamed to say that I was often punished when I was a very young boy in primary school. I didn’t like it, and sometimes I didn’t think I deserved it. But, was I harmed by this punishment? No, not really. Did the punishment improve my behavior? Well, only for as long as my hand hurt.
Beating children is not allowed in most countries, including China. Today, most children can only be punished with “words”. But, is talking to them enough? Or are there some other better forms of punishment?
