13.Have your parents ever caught you misbehaving--fighting with peers,coming home late or playing computer games when you were supposed to be doing your homework?How did they react?Did they try to talk to you or just yell at you?
Parents used to rely on physical punishments like pushing or spanking(打屁股)to control their children's behavior,which has been proven to be very harmful.Therefore,most parents now choose to simply yell,thinking that language probably won't hurt as much.But is that really so?
Using harsh words such as"lazy"or"stupid"to insult teenagers is just as harmful as hitting,according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh,US."It cannot reduce or correct their problem behavior,"said Professor Ming-Te Wang,leader of the study."On the contrary,it makes it worse."
The study's subjects were 976 two-parent families with teenage children.Researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems while questioning parents about how often they had cursed (咒骂)or yelled at their kids.
Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year.Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems afterwards,including fighting,stealing,lying as well as symptoms of depression (抑郁).
"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids are trying to develop their self-identities.When you yell,it makes them feel they are not capable,that they are worthless and useless,"Wang said."This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout,their teenagers don't listen."
While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment,it doesn't teach children to behave how parents want them to.What parents need to do is praise their children for good behavior.If parents really need to punish their kids,they should try things like taking away smart phones and reminding them that good behavior will get them back.
67.What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 3 refer to?D
A.Punishing teenagers.
B.Controlling children's behavior.
C.Talking to children.
D.Using harsh words.
68.We can know from Professor Ming-Te Wang's study thatA.
A.kids often shouted at won't change their problem behavior
B.kids are unwilling to listen to whatever parents say
C.parents should make a list of their kids'misbehavior
D.kids from two-parent families get more harsh words
69.Why does harsh words have negative effects on kids?C
A.Because they make kids more sensitive when they grow up.
B.Because they make kids tend to yell or curse others.
C.Because they make kids doubt their values and lose confidence.
D.Because they make kids eager to be praised.
70.The last paragraph is chiefly concerned aboutB.
A.how to praise children's good behavior
B.how to deal with children's misbehavior
C.the importance of stopping harsh yelling
D.the way to encourage children to correct mistakes.

分析 本文主要讲述应对孩子的坏行为,不应该用严厉的词语,应该鼓励他们改正行为,培养良好的行为习惯.

1.It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name.These frightful creatures can grow to be more than 6 meters (nearly 20 feet) long.Their bodies are flat and winged,like underwater airplanes.And their noses are shaped like chainsaws.
Sawfish are predators of the sea.When a sawfish is hungry,it waves its sharp-toothed snout through a school of fish.Then,it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to inhale the injured victims.
Hardy populations of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the world for thousands of years.Over the past 200 years,however,human actions have severely endangered sawfish.
Threats include fishing nets that snag the huge animals,often by mistake.Compared with other fish,sawfish reproduce late in life and at slow rates.These traits make it hard for them to recover from over fishing.
Some people collect sawfish snouts as trophies:One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 on eBay.Shamans,or priests,in some Asian cultures,use the toothy snouts in ceremonies to repel demons and disease.And sawfish are also a delicacy.A growing demand in Asia for the animal's fins for a pricey soup has contributed to the fish's disappearance.
New efforts now aim to revive sawfish populations.Beginning next month,an international agreement will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species.
"Until 1998,this fish had never been formally studied in the United States,"says Tonya Wiley of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota,Fla."We didn't know such basic things as where they live,what habitat they use,how often they reproduce,how many young fish they have."
Through historical studies and field research,scientists have become aware of how much the fish's numbers have dwindled.Today,there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be.Wiley estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.

74.The number of sawfish becomes smaller than before becauseB.
A.compared with other fish,sawfish reproduce early in life and at fast rates
B.in some Asian cultures,the toothy snouts can be used in ceremonies to repel demons and disease
C.sawfish are also smelly,which attracts people to kill them
D.fishing nets that snag the huge animals,often on purpose kill them

A.scientists knew where they live,what habitat they use before 1998
