广东省广州市华南师范大学附属中学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.
Last week, our school held a "Green School Project". In order to reply to the call, our class did something meaningful as a team. Some of us wrote down the whole plan. Some prepared the necessary materials. I found it was much easier and faster than doing something alone. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Of course, team activities aren't always easy. In fact, they can be stressful if people don't know how to work well together. Here are some tips to make team work successful.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}There's a saying, "If you don't know where you're going, you probably won't get there." So the clear goal is important. Before doing a class project, you need to check the goal and instructions carefully.
Teams work better when people have their own roles. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} There might also be a note-taker who writes down the team's ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper to make sure people don't waste time chatting.
For large projects, divide the work into smaller tasks. Team members can choose tasks they do well in or enjoy. Other people might be good at writing or making reports. Of course, you shouldn't always do the same task. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
When you're working in a team, respect is necessary. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Do your fair share, so other members don't have to do work for you. Finally, try to stay active and enjoy yourself. Everything is easier when you're having fun!
A. As a result, we finished the work well in a short time. B. It's good to try new things even if they're difficult . C. You'd better listen when others are speaking and don't cut in. D. Make sure everyone understands the goal of the project. E. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. |
