B
About thirty years ago, almost every kid in my neighborhood had some kinds of hobby. One of my friends was into photography (he’s now a photographer), another was into building radios (he’s now an electrical engineer).
Hobbies are a means of self-discovery, and hobbies help build self- respect. Hobbies are educational tools as well. By working on hobbies, children learn to set goals, make decisions, and solve all sorts of problems.
If all these sound good, you may want to help your child develop a hobby, and try these suggestions.
Set a good example. Scott Harris, a hobby shop buyer and hobby workshop leader in Gastonia, North Carolina, finds that children with hobbies usually have parents with hobbies.
Be prepared to sacrifice (牺牲) space. Your child will need work space for his or her hobby projects. Choose a special room, a corner of the basement, part of the garage, or a similar area. No matter where you set up the space, your child should be able to walk away from the hobby and come back to it later.
________. Nothing will kill a child’s love for a hobby quicker than lots of frustration (挫折) during the learning stage. Help your child get off to a good start by showing him or her clearly how to closely follow a set of directions.
Limit television watching. It’s impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time.
A hobby may never develop without any spare time. But find a hobby, and a talent may be born, and then life may be enriched by it, too.
4. What is the function (功能) of the first paragraph 1
A. To prove that every kid has a hobby.
B. To tell us about jobs of the writer’s friends.
C. To show that hobbies may have influence on lifelong work.
D. To introduce what the writer’s neighborhood was like.
5. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Hobbies are necessary in children’s development.
B. Hobbies are of great help to children in many ways.
C. If children don’t have any hobbies, they can’t be better.
D. Children can do everything well by working on hobbies.
6. Which sentence can be put in the blank ________ in Paragraph 6
A. Provide some guidance B. Failure is the mother of success
C. Follow clear directions D. Make a good start
7. What do you learn from the passage
A. Watching TV can help develop hobbies.
B. A child will love his/her hobby and never give it up.
C. Hobbies can develop even if there is no free time.
D. If a child has a hobby, his/her parents may also have some kind of hobby.
C
People always underestimated (低估) others’ needs for feedback (反馈) and don’t provide it, even when it can improve another person’s performance, according to the research published by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Before, there was other research suggesting that people wouldn’t like to give feedback because they’re afraid that it will hurt the other person’s feelings, or doing so may harm their relationships. The APA research found out there might be another reason why people refuse to give feedback: They don’t fully realize that their suggestions can help improve others’ performances, so they often underestimate others’ needs for such feedback.
To test their thought, the APA researchers did a series of experiments with 1,984 volunteers. In one experiment, volunteers were shown 10 possible awkward (令人难堪的) situations at work, where they could give or receive useful feedback. In another experiment, volunteers were asked to think of a situation where they had the chance to give or receive useful feedback. In the final experiment, volunteers worked in pairs—one practises a speech for a competition and the other listens and provides feedback.
During these three experiments, those who should give feedback always underestimated receivers’ needs for it. The more important the feedback was, the more often volunteers underestimated the other’s needs for feedback and the less likely they wanted to offer it. The gap (差距) was smaller in more daily situations, such as when the other person had food on their faces.
The researchers were surprised to find that simply asking “If you were this person, would you want feedback ” helped volunteers understand the value of feedback to the other person and helped close the giver-receiver gap.
“Feedback is a key to personal growth and improvement.” said Francesca Gino, the leader of the research. “The next time you hear someone mispronounce a word, or see a dirty mark on their shirt, point it out to them—they probably want feedback more than you think.”
8 According to other research before, people don’t give feedback because ________.
A. they don’t like doing so B. they’re afraid of bad results
C. they’re bad at getting along with others D. they can’t realize others’ needs
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The experiment. B. The feedback. C. The situation. D. The speech.
10. How can we make people more willing to offer useful feedback
A. Help them to remember great feelings of helping others.
B. Train them to pay attention to much bigger problems.
C. Encourage them to ask about the other persons’ needs.
D. Get them to imagine they’re in the other persons’ shoes.
11. What does Francesca Gino mainly try to do in the last paragraph
A. Present a fact. B. Give warnings.
C. Provide advice. D. Make a summary.

About thirty years ago, almost every kid in my neighborhood had some kinds of hobby. One of my friends was into photography (he’s now a photographer), another was into building radios (he’s now an electrical engineer).
Hobbies are a means of self-discovery, and hobbies help build self- respect. Hobbies are educational tools as well. By working on hobbies, children learn to set goals, make decisions, and solve all sorts of problems.
If all these sound good, you may want to help your child develop a hobby, and try these suggestions.
Set a good example. Scott Harris, a hobby shop buyer and hobby workshop leader in Gastonia, North Carolina, finds that children with hobbies usually have parents with hobbies.
Be prepared to sacrifice (牺牲) space. Your child will need work space for his or her hobby projects. Choose a special room, a corner of the basement, part of the garage, or a similar area. No matter where you set up the space, your child should be able to walk away from the hobby and come back to it later.
________. Nothing will kill a child’s love for a hobby quicker than lots of frustration (挫折) during the learning stage. Help your child get off to a good start by showing him or her clearly how to closely follow a set of directions.
Limit television watching. It’s impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time.
A hobby may never develop without any spare time. But find a hobby, and a talent may be born, and then life may be enriched by it, too.
4. What is the function (功能) of the first paragraph 1
A. To prove that every kid has a hobby.
B. To tell us about jobs of the writer’s friends.
C. To show that hobbies may have influence on lifelong work.
D. To introduce what the writer’s neighborhood was like.
5. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Hobbies are necessary in children’s development.
B. Hobbies are of great help to children in many ways.
C. If children don’t have any hobbies, they can’t be better.
D. Children can do everything well by working on hobbies.
6. Which sentence can be put in the blank ________ in Paragraph 6
A. Provide some guidance B. Failure is the mother of success
C. Follow clear directions D. Make a good start
7. What do you learn from the passage
A. Watching TV can help develop hobbies.
B. A child will love his/her hobby and never give it up.
C. Hobbies can develop even if there is no free time.
D. If a child has a hobby, his/her parents may also have some kind of hobby.

People always underestimated (低估) others’ needs for feedback (反馈) and don’t provide it, even when it can improve another person’s performance, according to the research published by the American Psychological Association (APA).
Before, there was other research suggesting that people wouldn’t like to give feedback because they’re afraid that it will hurt the other person’s feelings, or doing so may harm their relationships. The APA research found out there might be another reason why people refuse to give feedback: They don’t fully realize that their suggestions can help improve others’ performances, so they often underestimate others’ needs for such feedback.
To test their thought, the APA researchers did a series of experiments with 1,984 volunteers. In one experiment, volunteers were shown 10 possible awkward (令人难堪的) situations at work, where they could give or receive useful feedback. In another experiment, volunteers were asked to think of a situation where they had the chance to give or receive useful feedback. In the final experiment, volunteers worked in pairs—one practises a speech for a competition and the other listens and provides feedback.
During these three experiments, those who should give feedback always underestimated receivers’ needs for it. The more important the feedback was, the more often volunteers underestimated the other’s needs for feedback and the less likely they wanted to offer it. The gap (差距) was smaller in more daily situations, such as when the other person had food on their faces.
The researchers were surprised to find that simply asking “If you were this person, would you want feedback ” helped volunteers understand the value of feedback to the other person and helped close the giver-receiver gap.
“Feedback is a key to personal growth and improvement.” said Francesca Gino, the leader of the research. “The next time you hear someone mispronounce a word, or see a dirty mark on their shirt, point it out to them—they probably want feedback more than you think.”
8 According to other research before, people don’t give feedback because ________.
A. they don’t like doing so B. they’re afraid of bad results
C. they’re bad at getting along with others D. they can’t realize others’ needs
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The experiment. B. The feedback. C. The situation. D. The speech.
10. How can we make people more willing to offer useful feedback
A. Help them to remember great feelings of helping others.
B. Train them to pay attention to much bigger problems.
C. Encourage them to ask about the other persons’ needs.
D. Get them to imagine they’re in the other persons’ shoes.
11. What does Francesca Gino mainly try to do in the last paragraph
A. Present a fact. B. Give warnings.
C. Provide advice. D. Make a summary.

In another experiment, volunteers were asked to think of a situation where they had the chance to give or receive useful feedback. In the final experiment, volunteers worked in pairs—one practises a speech for a competition and the other listens and provides feedback.
During these three experiments, those who should give feedback always underestimated receivers’ needs for it. The more important the feedback was, the more often volunteers underestimated the other’s needs for feedback and the less likely they wanted to offer it. The gap (差距) was smaller in more daily situations, such as when the other person had food on their faces.
The researchers were surprised to find that simply asking “If you were this person, would you want feedback ” helped volunteers understand the value of feedback to the other person and helped close the giver-receiver gap.
“Feedback is a key to personal growth and improvement.” said Francesca Gino, the leader of the research. “The next time you hear someone mispronounce a word, or see a dirty mark on their shirt, point it out to them—they probably want feedback more than you think.”
8 According to other research before, people don’t give feedback because ________.
A. they don’t like doing so B. they’re afraid of bad results
C. they’re bad at getting along with others D. they can’t realize others’ needs
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The experiment. B. The feedback. C. The situation. D. The speech.
10. How can we make people more willing to offer useful feedback
A. Help them to remember great feelings of helping others.
B. Train them to pay attention to much bigger problems.
C. Encourage them to ask about the other persons’ needs.
D. Get them to imagine they’re in the other persons’ shoes.
11. What does Francesca Gino mainly try to do in the last paragraph
A. Present a fact. B. Give warnings.
C. Provide advice. D. Make a summary.
