An 11-year-old boy has become a hero since his quick thinking saved two lives. Davyon Johnson helped save a choking（窒息的） classmate and a woman trying to escape a fire． On Dec． 8,2021 the Muskogee County Sheriff＇s Department honored Johnson for his heroics at a meeting. At the event, Undersheriff Greg Martin gave the sixth-grader a certificate naming him an honorary deputy for the Muskogee County Sheriff's Office. “We are all so proud of you, Johnson!!” wrote the sheriff's office in a post on Facebook on Dec.14,2021.

The Muskogee Public Schools recognized Davyon Johnson during the meeting Tuesday. Principal Latricia Dawkins considered Johnson a hero in an interview. “He always says that he wants to be an emergency medical technician. So he put that desire into action and immediately saved that young man,” Dawkins said, adding that Johnson “is just a kind soul and liked by students and teachers”.

The first incident happened during the school day. Johnson jumped into action after one of his classmates accidentally swallowed a water bottle cap and was choked by it after trying to open it with his mouth.Johnson immediately ran to the child and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Dawkins said,“From the account of the witnesses, when he did it, the bottle cap came out.” Johnson said he learned how to do the Heimlich maneuver on YouTube,and suggested others do the same.

Johnson's heroism didn't end there. After school, during the day after he saved his classmate, Johnson found a woman trying to escape from a burning home. He quickly realized the worried woman was moving slowly and ran across the street to help her. “She was a disabled lady and being a good citizen, I should help her leave,”Johnson said.LaToya,the boy's mother, said, “I don't feel surprised at my son's actions.

It's natural for parents to praise their children, but offering this praise could actually backfire,according to New Science.

In the study, researchers at Michigan State University looked at 123 children who were about 7.The team assessed the children to determine whether they had a “growth mindset”(believing that you can work harder to get smarter), or a “fixed mindset” (believing that your intelligence is unable to change). They then asked the children to complete a fast-paced computer accuracy task while their brain activity was recorded.

Based on the data they collected, the researchers concluded that children with a growth mindset were much more likely to have a larger brain response after making a mistake, and in turn were more likely to improve their performance by paying closer attention to the task after making an error.

While previous research has shown that people with a fixed mindset didn't want to admit they had made a mistake, this study found that children with a fixed mindset were able to-“bounce back” after making an error, but only if they gave their full attention to the mistakes.“The main implication（暗示） here is that we should pay close attention to our mistakes and use them as opportunities to learn.”study author Hans Schroder told Science Daily.

For parents, the lessons are clear-if a child hands you anA+ test, don't say “You're so smart!”

Instead, say “Wow, that studying really paid off!” or “You clearly mastered this material-way to go!”Note the effort,not the intelligence.

Second,focus on using errors to work together and learn. Many teachers and parents avoid addressing children's mistakes, telling them “It's OK.You'll get it next time. ..”,without giving them the opportunity to figure out what went wrong.Dr.Schroder says， “Instead， it’s better to reassure（安慰） children that mistakes happen， and to pay attention and work to figure out where and how they made the mistakes.”

28.How was the data collected during the research?

A.By counting children's mistakes.

B.By recording children's brain activity.

C.By asking children fast-paced questions.

D.By testing children's intelligence.

29.Who most probably belongs to the “growth mindset" group?

A.A boy who manages to correct every mistake by heart.

B. A girl who believes her mistakes are made by chance.

C. A boy who keeps an idea that he has a gift for studying.

D.A girl who thinks she can get A+ without any effort.

30.How are paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 developed?

A.Giving examples.

B.Listing facts.

C.Making a comparison.

D.Using famous sayings.

31.What should parents do with the child's mistakes in Dr. Schroder's opinion?

A. Parents should avoid talking with child about his mistakes.

B.Parents should discuss the mistakes with their child patiently.

C.Parents should ignore the mistakes and believe he will do better.

D.Parents should compare his mistakes with others' and blame him.
