Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.
4. What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage
A. Give enough likes. B. Post to promote sales.
C. Recommend some comments. D. Design advertisements.
5. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried
A. Sponsored ads content.
B. Ads with caption on posts.
C. The unclear motivations of the posts.
D. The increasingly growing number of audiences.
6. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer
A. Annoyed. B. Delighted. C. Ambitious. D. Depressed.
7. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
B. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
C. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
D. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道，主题语境是人与社会。文章讲述了时下流行的微影响者以及由此可能会引发的问题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。联系文章前两段内容可知，微影响者主要是利用自己的粉丝发帖子促销，所以选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四至六段信息综合可知，微影响者发帖子作广告，但不加任何说明，会导致年轻人不能有效辨别，所以这种意图不明的帖子会对浏览者造成困扰，这是消费者权益群体所担心的问题, 故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段对Altman的叙述和她的话的引述可判断出，她很乐意当微影响者，故选B。
【7题详解】
标题选择题。根据整篇文章的内容可知，A项作为文章的标题最合适，故选A。
C
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume（假设）that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not affect its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
8. What does the author say about historical buildings in Paragraph 1
A. Some of them are not attractive.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
9. Which of the following is true according to the author
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B. In no way should buildings affect the surroundings.
C. Some old buildings have ruined the area they are in.
D. Nobody knows why people speak against new buildings.
10. By "move things forward" in the last paragraph, the author probably means ________.
A. destroy old buildings B. put things in a different place
C. choose new architectural styles D. respect people's feelings for historical buildings
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章就是否可以在历史遗迹的旁边建设现代化的建筑进行讨论，总结出在历史遗迹的旁边建设现代化的建筑是可行的，文章反对复制以前的建筑风格，建议选择一些新鲜和不同的东西。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“Not all historical buildings are attractive. ”（并非所有的历史建筑都有吸引力。）可知，作者认为并不是所有的古建筑物都是很吸引人的。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判读题。根据第三段第一句话“It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. ”（的确，有一些新建筑破坏了它们所在的地区，但一些旧建筑也是如此。）可知，一些新建筑会破坏它们所在的地方，同样一些旧建筑也会破坏它们所在的地方。故选C。
【10题详解】
短语猜测题。根据划线句子的下一句话“If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. ”（如果我们总是复制以前的东西，我们仍然会生活在洞穴里。）可知，如果我们总是重复以前的建筑风格，那么我们就不会有创新，所以“ move things forward”的意思就是说要开发出新的建筑风格，不走老路。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句话“Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city ”（我们是否应该允许在一座城市的历史区域中，在旧建筑旁边建造现代建筑？）并联系下文可知，本文主要在讨论是否可以在历史遗迹的旁边建设现代化的建筑。故选B。
D
For people who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today’s sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.
Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can’t let him get away. he pulls out a special device points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.
For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let’s say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.
Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯） are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.
12. What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD
A. It causes temporary hearing loss B. It slows down a running man
C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others
13. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to ________.
A. silence the people around you B. remove the sound of commercials
C. block the incoming sound waves D. stop unwanted sound from affecting you
14. What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share
A. They travel in circles B. They clear the atmosphere.
C. They can be transformed into energy D. They can be directed onto a specific area
15. Directed sound can be used for ________.
A. creative designs of restaurant menus B. ideal sound effects on the theater stage
C. different choices of music for businesses D. strict control over any suspicious customer
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些声音技术领域的发明创造。包括声音可以做远程武器的声学设备，用来阻止有害声音影响你的静音机以及定向音响技术。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段倒数两句“It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.（它发出震耳欲聋的声音，如此痛苦以至于使人暂时丧失能力。远程定向声波发射器发出的噪音像光线一样被引导，只进入那个人的耳朵，但不会致命。）”，可知LRAD发出震耳欲聋的声音，会导致暂时性的听力丧失。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第四句“Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents.（多亏了英国发明的静音机，你可以在不打扰男孩或他父母的情况下消除声音。）”可知，The Silence Machine是一种专门用来阻止不想听到的声音影响的设备。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第二句“A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; Similarly, “spot sound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area.（聚光灯只能照亮舞台的一部分；同样，一个斑点声音在一个目标区域创建一个声音圈。）”可知，聚光灯和斑点声音的共同点在于他们可以被引导到一个特定的区域。 故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中第二、三、四句“A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly,“spotsound” creates a circle of sound in on targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choice on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining.（聚光灯只能照亮舞台的一个部分；类似地，一个“spotsound”在一个目标区域创建一个声音圈。这对餐馆和商店等企业很有用，因为它提供了一种吸引顾客的新方式。餐厅可以提供与菜单上的各种食物相配的音乐，让顾客更多地控制用餐气氛。）”可知，定向音响可以用于不同的商业音乐选择。故选C。

【17题详解】
根据上文内容“‘Reverse showrooming’ is another strategy. (“反向展示”是另一种策略。)可知，上文提到了一种购物策略，G项Customers first go online to do research and then go into a store to get the product. (顾客首先上网做研究，然后进入商店购买产品。)是对上文中Reverse show rooming这种购物策略的解释说明。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Teens especially prefer to shop at the shopping center. (青少年尤其喜欢在购物中心购物。)”可知F项 (对于他们,购物不是为了找到最好的价格，而是一种社会体验。)是对青少年喜欢在购物中心购物这一现象进行解释。F项中的them指代上文中的Teens，故选F。
【19题详解】
通过分析语境可知，下文“At the top of the list are electronic products (排在榜首的是电子产品)”是对A项“购物者喜欢在网上购买什么产品 ”所提出问题的回答，故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“However, online shopping doesn't work for every product. People prefer to shop for food in a store.(然而，网上购物并不适用于每一种产品。人们更喜欢在商店里买食物。)”说明有些东西不适合在网上购买，通过分析可知E项“If you're buying a new car, you can research prices online. (如果你要买新车，你可以在网上研究价格。)”与下文中的“But you still need to drive the car.(但你还是得开开车。)”涉及同一话题买车，举例说明某些商品不适合网购。下文中的the car指代E项中的a new car.。故选E。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：一组研究人员和科学家正在共同努力，通过记录和收集在不同的文化中一直发挥着重要作用的莫高窟文物的数字图像，帮助提高对中国古代文化遗产的认识和欣赏。由句意及空前的help increase knowledge and可知应填名词形式appreciation，作宾语。故填appreciation。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：自该项目启动以来，已制作了近50万张高质量的数码照片。空处为谓语动词，由时间状语Since the project started可知，应用现在完成时，主语digital photographs与produce之间为被动关系，所以应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是复数，助动词使用have。故填have been produced。
【38题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意：通过在互联网上分享如此多的数码照片，研究人员希望进一步教育人们保护历史文物的重要性。由句意知空处应填副词比较级形式，作状语，修饰动词educate，此处表示引申义“进一步”，应用副词比较级further。故填further。

【答案】39. it 40. were carved
41. that 42. which
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍的是中国文字系统的发展。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：中国文字系统是使中国有可能拥有辉煌文明的主要因素之一。由句意及空前的that make应填代词it，作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式复合结构。故填it。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：起初，符号被刻在动物的骨头和贝壳上。空处为谓语动词，由时间状语At the beginning知动作发生在过去且主语symbols与carve之间为被动关系，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态were carved。故填were carved。
【41题详解】
考查强调句型。句意：直到秦始皇统一了整个国家之后，才开始向一个方向发展。由句意知此处为强调句型，强调句型的基本结构为It+被强调部分+that/who，此处强调时间状语after Emperor Qinshihuang united the whole country，应用that。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：书面汉语不仅在团结中国人民和文化方面很重要，而且已经成为中国现在与过去联系的一种手段。此处为介词+关系代词引导的定语从句，先行词为means，应用关系代词which。故填which。

第二节（满分15分）
57. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
As your child progresses through life, he will make mistakes. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to correct those mistakes, but you should use the right way to correct your child’s mistakes or else you risk harming his self-esteem (自尊) or causing problems in your relationship. Using the right way to offer your child constructive criticism (建设性的批评) encourages healthy development.
Parents should be willing to teach their child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism according to an Everyday Health article. If your child’s leaving food particles on dishes that he’s washed, teach him your way of properly washing dishes, as opposed to shouting at him or thinking he’s lazy. You can say, “I know you work hard at washing the dishes every night. But for the past few weeks I’ve noticed that there’s been some food stuck on some of the dishes. I used to do this when I was about your age, too. May I show you the way I’ve learned to wash the dishes ”
Your child will probably not reply to your criticism if it is given in an angry tone (语气). Talk to your child when you’re calm and clear-headed. It’s difficult enough to receive criticism because no one really wants to hear about their mistakes, says psychiatrist Harry Croft, so it’s important that you use a loving tone when correcting your child’s mistakes. If the matter doesn’t need to be dealt with immediately, give yourself as much time as you need — even go for a walk — before correcting your child’s behaviors.
Comparison is never a good way of offering constructive criticism. When you compare your child with someone else, you are creating feelings of inadequacy (缺乏信心) in your child, which can have long-lasting bad influences. Instead, focus on your child, his behaviors, and the things he might be able to improve. Instead of saying, “I wish you could be respectful to your grandparents like your brother,” try saying, “I really want you to work on having more respect for your grandparents.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It’s important to give constructive criticism to your child in a right way. You should be ready to teach your child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism. Be calm and speak in a gentle tone when offering constructive criticism, which will be helpful for your child to accept your criticism. It’s never a good idea to compare your child with others because it can weaken his confidence.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要讨论了作为父母如何正确地批评孩子的错误。文章指出，父母应该教会孩子正确的行为，而不是大声责备或认为孩子懒惰。父母应该在冷静和清晰的头脑状态下与孩子交谈，避免愤怒的语气。不要用比较的方式给予建设性批评，而是关注孩子自己，他的行为和需要改进的地方。避免给孩子造成自卑感，要用温和的语气向孩子指出错误并鼓励他们发展健康的成长。
【详解】1 要点摘录
①Using the right way to offer your child constructive criticism (建设性的批评) encourages healthy development.
②Parents should be willing to teach their child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism.
③Talk to your child when you’re calm and clear-headed. It’s difficult enough to receive criticism because no one really wants to hear about their mistakes.
④Comparison is never a good way of offering constructive criticism. When you compare your child with someone else, you are creating feelings of inadequacy ( 缺乏信心) in your child, which can have long-lasting bad influences.
2.缜密构思
将第1个要点进行重组，将第2、3、4三个要点进行整合。
3.遣词造句
Giving constructive criticism to children in the right way is important.
When offering constructive criticism, you should be prepared to teach your child the correct behavior.
It is helpful to remain calm and speak in a gentle tone when giving constructive criticism, as this helps the child to accept your criticism.
Comparing your child to others is never a good idea, as it will undermine their confidence.
【点睛】[高分句型1] You should be ready to teach your child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism. 运用状语从句的省略结构，表达高级。
[高分句型2]：Be calm and speak in a gentle tone when offering constructive criticism, which will be helpful for your child to accept your criticism. 运用了祈使句结构以及which引导的非限制性定语从句结构，表达高级。

Gretchen Altman is smiling, leaning back casually, a cup of coffee in hand — Hills Bros. Coffee, to be precise. It looks like a casual shot, but if you hit like, leave a comment, and tag a friend, you can get three different cups of coffee, for free.
Altman is part of a growing trend of "micro-influencers". She has a small following — around 6,000 on Instagram(社交平台). Her going rate is $300 to $800 to promote something. She does some posts in exchange for free goods, as long as it’s stuff she believes in.
As a micro-influencer she has a much closer relationship with her followers than a big social media star. "I’m just living a normal life and people relate to that," she says. "They just feel like I’m a friend of theirs."
But it worries consumer rights groups. Several recent studies have found that young audiences are largely unable to understand when something is sponsored content.
In some cases, it’s clear. When a big star takes to a social media to advertise Coca-Cola, for example, the assumption is that he or she’s probably getting paid to do so. And the posts are clearly labeled as ads, with the caption "advertisement" or "sponsored content".
But what happens when an everyday person with just a couple thousand followers takes to social media to extol(颂扬) the virtues of a product The motivations are not so clear cut. The problem with these social media posts is that you don’t know whether it’s an ad or not.
Altman is diligent about using those hashtags(标签). She loves what she does and sees it as a business, but she doesn’t necessarily want to be a social media celebrity.
"With social media being so integrated into our everyday lives, we have this unique opportunity that I don’t think anyone has ever had before where we can each be our own brand," Altman says.
4. What does a micro-influencer do according to the passage
A. Give enough likes. B. Post to promote sales.
C. Recommend some comments. D. Design advertisements.
5. What makes consumer rights groups feel worried
A. Sponsored ads content.
B. Ads with caption on posts.
C. The unclear motivations of the posts.
D. The increasingly growing number of audiences.
6. How does Gretchen Altman feel about being a micro-influencer
A. Annoyed. B. Delighted. C. Ambitious. D. Depressed.
7. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Instagram Advertising: Do You Know It, When You See It
B. To be a Micro-influencer or to be a Big Star
C. We Can Each Be Our Own Top Brand
D. Hills Bros. Coffee, Your Coffee
C
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons — for example, economic reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume（假设）that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not affect its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
8. What does the author say about historical buildings in Paragraph 1
A. Some of them are not attractive.
B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
9 Which of the following is true according to the author
A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B. In no way should buildings affect the surroundings.
C. Some old buildings have ruined the area they are in.
D. Nobody knows why people speak against new buildings.
10. By "move things forward" in the last paragraph, the author probably means ________.
A. destroy old buildings B. put things in a different place
C. choose new architectural styles D. respect people's feelings for historical buildings
11. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain why people dislike change.
B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
D
For people who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today’s sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.
Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can’t let him get away. he pulls out a special device points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.
For those who hunger for some peace and quiet sound can now create silence. Let’s say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming（哼唱）a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on, point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.
Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights（聚光灯） are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a “spotsound” creates a circle of sound in one targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.
12. What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD
A. It causes temporary hearing loss B. It slows down a running man
C. It makes it easy to identify a suspect D. It keeps the suspect from hurting others
13. The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to ________.
A. silence the people around you B. remove the sound of commercials
C. block the incoming sound waves D. stop unwanted sound from affecting you
14. What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share
A. They travel in circles B. They clear the atmosphere.
C. They can be transformed into energy D. They can be directed onto a specific area
15. Directed sound can be used for ________.
A. creative designs of restaurant menus B. ideal sound effects on the theater stage
C. different choices of music for businesses D. strict control over any suspicious customer

57. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
As your child progresses through life, he will make mistakes. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to correct those mistakes, but you should use the right way to correct your child’s mistakes or else you risk harming his self-esteem (自尊) or causing problems in your relationship. Using the right way to offer your child constructive criticism (建设性批评) encourages healthy development.
Parents should be willing to teach their child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism, according to an Everyday Health article. If your child’s leaving food particles on dishes that he’s washed, teach him your way of properly washing dishes, as opposed to shouting at him or thinking he’s lazy. You can say, “I know you work hard at washing the dishes every night. But for the past few weeks I’ve noticed that there’s been some food stuck on some of the dishes. I used to do this when I was about your age, too. May I show you the way I’ve learned to wash the dishes ”
Your child will probably not reply to your criticism if it is given in an angry tone (语气). Talk to your child when you’re calm and clear-headed. It’s difficult enough to receive criticism because no one really wants to hear about their mistakes, says psychiatrist Harry Croft, so it’s important that you use a loving tone when correcting your child’s mistakes. If the matter doesn’t need to be dealt with immediately, give yourself as much time as you need — even go for a walk — before correcting your child’s behaviors.
Comparison is never a good way of offering constructive criticism. When you compare your child with someone else, you are creating feelings of inadequacy (缺乏信心) in your child, which can have long-lasting bad influences. Instead, focus on your child, his behaviors, and the things he might be able to improve. Instead of saying, “I wish you could be respectful to your grandparents like your brother,” try saying, “I really want you to work on having more respect for your grandparents.”
