广东省广州市华南师大附中2024-2025 学年九年级上学期学业评价(一) 英语试题
I always told my children that they were smart all the time. Especially in the first years of their life, they learned skills and language so quickly. I had a particularly clear memory of watching my son work out how to play a Lego toy and I told him," You' re a such architectural(建筑的) genius. Mom is proud of you."
But some research suggests that we should not tell our children they' re" smart" when they do important things. When I first heard about it, I disagreed. But after doing some research, I gradually agreed. It all goes back to" growth mindset", which means that you can change your abilities through hard work and strategies(策略). Compared to a" growth mindset", a" fixed mindset" is the idea that your abilities are inborn and can't be changed. When we praise our children for being" smart" based on success, like solving a problem or doing well on a test. we' re encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they' re not smart.
And it's not just what we say about our children's success that matters — it's how we tolerate(容忍) their failures. A study led by a scientist named Kyle shows if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be derailed by mistakes. For example, Dr. Kyle explains, your children may have difficulty in solving math problems and you may say something like" Not everyone needs to be good at numbers" as a way to comfort them. But what you' re really doing is suggesting that their math abilities are already set, and can't be changed.
Whatever you say to your kids, it's about getting them comfortable with failures. Here are some tips from Dr. Kyle. One way is to praise kids' hard work instead of their intelligence. As Dr. Kyle pointed out, if we praise a kid for a school project he finished in five minutes, he would know our praise is empty. Instead, we can ask him questions about how he did it, which can help us know how to praise future hard work. Also, we can talk about our mistakes. We don't have to hide our negative(消极的) feelings. If we point out our missteps and explain how we insisted, our children can learn to do the same.
How to lower costs and improve the living quality?
There are numerous products posted on social media, and you might believe an electric toothbrush, Luna facial cleaning massager, a flight ticket to. Phuket and so on will bring you a better life. But for many graduates or those who have worked for only one or two years, your income cannot keep pace with(跟上) expense. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Here are some tips:
Keep running or doing yoga
It seems to be a challenge to afford a fitness center costing over 10,000 yuan in annual fees or for a personal trainer. But you can buy a pair of sneakers or a yoga mat instead. Running in a park regularly or doing yoga at home using free online resources is definitely a type of quality life. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Go to museums or libraries
Chasing young good-looking stars, watching their films and buying expensive tickets for their concerts are popular with many young people. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} You seem to fail to take into account(考虑到) a variety of exhibitions and resources updated frequently in major cities. Why not have a try? What you need to do is to choose themes that you are interested in, make an online appointment in advance and then enjoy your weekend.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}For some young people, the easy access and the discounts of online shopping make it really attractive. Sometimes what you buy online is not what you really need and the demands are created by the producers. For example, many young people buy new clothing that they don't wear. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Money is not the only thing that can drive your quality of living, but your optimistic attitude towards life and self-disciplined way of life are.
A. Stop over-spending online B. So, how can we save some money and improve quality of life? C. To live a quality life requires more self-discipline than money. D.
