【文章大意】 这是一篇议论文。本文主要论述了孩子们在圣诞节期间的失望中能够学到东西。应让孩子们认识到失望是人生的一部分。这对于孩子们一生中情感、认知以及社会交往的发展都十分重要。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But this can be difficult for parents to deal with, particularly around holidays, which are about gift-giving and expectations.”可知,对于父母来说,在圣诞节处理失望情绪是很困难的,因为赠送礼物或表示期待是一种习俗。故选C项。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“This can cause conflict for parents when children do not get the ‘right’ gift.”以及第四段中“For parents who do not have the resources to provide the perfect or desired gift, this can cause additional stress, shame, and fear around disappointment.”可推知,作者对于把爱和幸福与物质联系起来的态度是非常担心的。故选A项。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第六段“Changing our focus to giving rather than receiving can help our children develop and appreciate the strength in gratitude. Research has linked gratitude to significant health and wellness benefits such as improving self-esteem, improving sleep and developing empathy.”可知,作者认为把我们的注意力转移到给予而不是接受可以帮助孩子们意识到感恩的好处。故选A项。
4.B 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“The other thing to know is that although disappointment feels awful, it is a part of life and is actually a positive and healthy emotion that’s central to children’s emotional, cognitive and social development throughout their lives.”可知,本文主要论述了孩子们在圣诞节期间从失望中能学到的东西。B项(圣诞节能教会孩子们关于失望的什么 )适合做本文最佳标题。故选B项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。大多数人难以积极地应对失败,在失败时会贬低自己的任务,缺乏动力去坚持原有的目标,这种心理现象就是酸葡萄效应。但酸葡萄效应可能会产生负面影响,所以我们要学会面对失败,这样我们才可能实现目标。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—‘Fail again. Fail better.’”可知,作者提到有感召力的演讲者引用的话是想证明如今的励志文学常常将失败视为值得庆祝的事情,由此可推测出,作者想要介绍对待失败的普遍态度。故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Sjastad explains that ‘sour-grape effect’ is a self-protective mechanism (机制). ‘Most of us picture ourselves as able people, so when feedback from others suggests the opposite, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,’ he says.”和“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a positive sense of self.”可知,“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制,当外部反馈与自我形象不一致时,我们就会否认或为这种外部信号辩解,从而保护自己。由此可推测出,“酸葡萄效应”会让我们否认外界给我们的负面反馈。故选D。
7.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“…rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.”可知,画线词应与rather than后的内容相反,表示“酸葡萄效应”可能会导致我们过早地做出不再坚持的决定,prematurely意为“过早地,仓促地”,与A项“匆忙地,仓促地”意思最接近。故选A。
8.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, however, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.”可知,作者在最后建议要学会面对失败带来的失望,而不是贬低失败并假装一切都没发生过,这样会更加有助于实现目标。由此可推测出,作者可能会赞同当我们的自我形象受到质疑时,不要一味地逃避这一说法。故选D。Period Three Developing ideas

A [2025·重庆第八中学高二期中]
Disappointment is a natural human emotion that occurs after a failure. For our young children, this failure can look like not getting the toy they wanted, not being invited to a classmate’s birthday party or losing their favourite animal.
It is essential for children’s mental health, well-being and overall development that they experience how to deal with disappointment well. But this can be difficult for parents to deal with, particularly around holidays, which are about gift-giving and expectations.
North American culture often mistakenly links love and happiness with material goods such as toys; the Santa story promises magical wish satisfaction. This can cause conflict for parents when children do not get the “right” gift.
On holidays, there’s social and personal pressure to provide happiness and joy for children through material objects, which can be confused with providing the necessities. For parents who do not have the resources to provide the perfect or desired gift, this can cause additional stress, shame, and fear around disappointment. Parents may feel as though they have let down their child and that they have impacted the child’s experience or memory of their “special day”.
This is especially true if the child has difficulty with or is learning to manage emotions and expresses disappointment through outbursts. These behaviours can affect parents deeply, often leading them to feel badly about themselves or that the child does not love them.
Changing our focus to giving rather than receiving can help our children develop and appreciate the strength in gratitude. Research has linked gratitude to significant health and wellness benefits such as improving self-esteem, improving sleep and developing empathy.
The other thing to know is that although disappointment feels awful, it is a part of life and is actually a positive and healthy emotion that’s central to children’s emotional, cognitive and social development throughout their lives.
( )1.Why is it difficult for parents to handle disappointment on Christmas
A.Children are easy to lose their temper or get angry.
B.Children often expect too much of their parents.
C.It is the custom to give gifts or show expectations.
D.It is connected with children’s overall development.
( )2.What is the author’s attitude towards linking love and happiness with material goods
A.Concerned. B.Unclear.
C.Interested. D.Supportive.
( )3.What does the author feel about changing our focus to giving rather than receiving
A.It helps children realize the benefits of being grateful.
B.It can help children’s academic development.
C.It can avoid disappointment in life.
D.It is a necessary part of one’s life.
( )4.What is the best title for the text
A.What are the rights to give to your children on Christmas
B.What can Christmas teach kids about disappointment
C.How can we meet our children’s expectations best
D.What harm does disappointment do to most children
B
In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researchers find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task in which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism (机制). “Most of us picture ourselves as able people, so when feedback from others suggests the opposite, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if you lose a singing contest. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change if the process is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, however, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
( )5.Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in Paragraph 1
A.To offer an approach to handling failure.
B.To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
C.To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
D.To discuss the relationship between success and failure.
( )6.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”
A.It does harm to our self-image.
B.It pictures us as perfect people.
C.It protects us from false feedback.
D.It makes us refuse negative feedback to ourselves.
( )7.What does the underlined word “prematurely” in Paragraph 5 mean
A.Hurriedly. B.Mistakenly.
C.Unhappily. D.Carelessly.
( )8.Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A.Get ready to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
B.Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.
C.Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
D.Don’t escape when our self-image gets challenged.(共69张PPT)

A［2025·重庆第八中学高二期中］
Disappointment is a natural human emotion that occurs
after a failure. For our young children, this failure can look like
not getting the toy they wanted, not being invited to a
classmate's birthday party or losing their favourite animal.
It is essential for children's mental health, well-being and
overall development that they experience how to deal with

disappointment well. But this can be difficult for parents to deal
with, particularly around holidays, which are about gift-giving
and expectations.
North American culture often mistakenly links love and
happiness with material goods such as toys; the Santa story
promises magical wish satisfaction. This can cause conflict for
parents when children do not get the “right” gift.
On holidays, there's social and personal pressure to provide
happiness and joy for children through material objects, which
1

can be confused with providing the necessities. For parents who
do not have the resources to provide the perfect or desired gift,
this can cause additional stress, shame, and fear around
disappointment. Parents may feel as though they have let down
their child and that they have impacted the child's experience or
memory of their “special day”.
This is especially true if the child has difficulty with or is
learning to manage emotions and expresses disappointment
through outbursts. These behaviours can affect parents deeply,
1

often leading them to feel badly about themselves or that the
child does not love them.
Changing our focus to giving rather than receiving can help
our children develop and appreciate the strength in gratitude.
Research has linked gratitude to significant health and wellness
benefits such as improving self-esteem, improving sleep and
developing empathy.
The other thing to know is that although disappointment
feels awful, it is a part of life and is actually a positive and
healthy emotion that's central to children's emotional, cognitive
and social development throughout their lives.

In today's motivational literature, failure is often viewed as
something to be celebrated. Inspirational speakers are fond of
quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett—“Fail again.
Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential
stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that
will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological researchers find most of us struggle
to handle failure constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail

forward”. We find ways to devalue the task in which we failed,
and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.
This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which
was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective
mechanism (机制). “Most of us picture ourselves as able people,
so when feedback from others suggests the opposite, it poses a
serious threat to that self-image,” he says. “The easiest way out
is to deny or explain away the outside signal, so we can keep a
positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”

If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you
might convince yourself that you don't really want it at all, and
stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to
impress at a sports trial, or if you lose a singing contest. “We
tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves
our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all the time.
It can be healthy to change if the process is no longer making
us happy. But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to

this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and
seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the
disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and
pretending nothing happened, however, you may find it easier
to achieve your goals.

Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the
novelist Samuel Beckett—‘Fail again. Fail better.’”可知,作者提到有
