Kids and teens are ften dismissive f praise frm their parents. I am sure that parents ut there can relate t this, as we all have been tld at ne time r anther by ne r several f ur kids, “Stp it, Mm.” r even, “Yu’ re just saying that because yu are my parents, and yu have t say that.” I can assure yu, thugh, that they are listening. They will prbably nt thank yu fr this praise until they are in their twenties, but dn't let that stp yu frm praising them during their childhd and teen years. Just be careful hw yu praise them. A little praise may g a lng way----especially if it is the right kind f praise.
It appears that the way t g is t praise their effrts accrding t a study by Brummelman f Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his clleagues. These researchers cncluded that kids shuld be praised primarily fr their effrts, rather than fr their persnal characteristics, because if they are praised fr their effrts, then a pr perfrmance is mre likely t be seen as a glitch (小故障) , rather than a valid reflectin f wh they are as individuals.
Let's think abut this tgether. If yu are a teenager r a child f any age and are cnstantly tld hw brilliant yu are, then when yu d prly n a test r a few tests, yu may feel like yu have suddenly lst yur status as brilliant and may nw feel ashamed that yu are merely average r even dumb. If yu are a girl wh is cnstantly tld hw beautiful yu are, then n a day when yu dn't lk r feel s gd, yu may decide that yu are unattractive. This is the prblem that develps when we are praising ur kids fr glbal persnality characteristics that they can't always live up t.
66. The intended readers f this passage are .

A. All children shuld be praised.

C. Teens ften pay n attentin t their parents’ praise.
D. Praise shuld be beynd children's expectatins.
68. Which f the fllwing is the right kind f praise accrding t the text?
A. Yu are a great artist.
B. Yu are very intelligent.
C. Yu have a special gift fur music.
D. Yur painting has indeed imprved due t yur effrts.
69. The underlined wrd“dumb” in the last paragraph can be replaced by .
A. hnest. B. curius. C. unique. D. stupid
