Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. 1 If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse.
Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. There were the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter. 2 When people received letters, they didn’t have to pay anything. 3 .
Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own postage stamps very quickly. But some countries didn’t want to accept letters with stamps from others. 4 Each country in the UPU agreed to accept letters with prepaid postage from other members. And now almost every country in the world is a member of this organization.

Hi, Jake，
How's it going? Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while, but I couldn't use my computer for a few days. You'll never guess what happened to me!
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take up yoga. Yoga is a combination of physical and breathing exercises. 1.__E__ I've been feeling a bit stressed about my school work recently and I thought yoga might help.
My dad couldn't give me a lift to the first lesson, so I decided to go to the gym by bike. The lesson was great and I felt really relaxed afterwards. 2.__C__ The next day, I woke up with a bad cold. I couldn't stop coughing and sneezing. I couldn't go to school because I also had a high temperature. We were having a maths test that day so it was great that I could stay at home. I didn't really enjoy my day off though. I felt awful and stayed in bed. Mum brought me cups of hot tea for my sore throat (and you know how much I hate tea！). 3.__A__ I have to keep taking these for a while so I can get stronger.
That afternoon Robbie came to visit me. He said he'd got something to cheer me up and pretended it was the maths test that I'd missed. “Mr Banks says do it at home instead，” he said, but I knew he was joking. 4.__F__ The next day, I was still a bit pale and didn't have much energy, but I was feeling better. The day after that, I was able to go back to school.
Can you believe my luck? 5.__B__
Anyway，I hope you're OK. Write and let me know what you've been up to! Bye for now!

It is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “Well done!” may make them doubt their own abilities. ?? 1? ? He said that words such as “You’re so clever!” or “You’re such an artist!” could also stop their future development at school. ?? 2? ? They may say they can’t live up to these expectations.
Instead, he advised parents and teachers to praise children less and use words like“trying really hard”. Mr. Grosz said, “?? 3? ? People often pay no attention to children’s feelings and thoughts.” He also mentioned a research showing that children who were heavily praised probably performed worse at school.
Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. ?? 4? ? But the researchers told the other group, “You did really well—you must have tried really hard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.
He said that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher telling his daughter,“You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done.” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz wrote, “How could I explain to the teacher? ?? 5? ? ”
As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.
A.Parents should praise their children from time to time. B. Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism(批评). C. In fact, I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter. D. Later, some were told, “You did really well—you’re so clever.” E. A leading psychologist(心理学家) Stephen Grosz has warned it. F. He also said that such empty praise caused children to be unhappy.
【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了总是用空洞的话语来表扬孩子并不是一件好事。
1. E 【解析】由本空后面的He可知此处需要引出一个权威人物。E项“著名心理学家斯蒂芬·格罗斯已经警告过了。”符合语境。
2. F【解析】从引出心理学家Stephen Grosz开始，都是在陈述他说的话。F项“他也说如此空洞的赞扬会导致孩子不开心的。”符合语境。
3. B【解析】由前句“Instead, he advised parents and teachers to praise children less and use words like‘trying really hard’.”和后句“People often pay no attention to children’s feeling s and thoughts”可知B项“空洞的表扬和轻率的批评一样糟糕。”放在此处符合上下文语境，故选B。
4. D【解析】本段是关于心理学家对128名小学生分组做研究的事情。根据下文“But the researchers told the other group...”表示转折，可推知是对另一组学生做了不同的事情或说了不同的话。D项“然后，一些被告知，“你做的真的很好——你是如此的聪明。”符合语境。
5. C【解析】本段描述的是Stephen Grosz碰到老师表扬自己女儿的事情。根据上文可推出他对空洞的表扬是持否定态度的。C项“实际上，如果她不表扬我的女儿，我会更愿意的。”符合语境。

　　All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. 3 In shops, we touch things that we might buy. To see something well, we have to touch it.
4 One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body and the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
　　Most museums are just for visiting. 5 Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
A. With your skin, you can feel better. B. But touching things can help you see them better. C. There are ways of learning to see better by feeling. D. But today some museums have something to touch. E. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. F.Each of us should not touch the thing if we don’t know about it.
