查看习题详情和答案>>If your child does well on a test，of course，you’re going to praise or her-but if you focus too often on achievements， children may not get the right message．Why?
An experiment by psychologist Carol Dweck at Columbia University in New York shows what happens when kids are praised for their efforts，and what happens when they’re praised for their intelligence．
Dweck got a group of ten―year一olds to do a series of puzzles easy enough so that all could do them well．Then they were told either，“You must be smart at this，”or，“You must have worked really hard．”
In the following tests，the kids praised for their efforts chose to do a harder set of puzzles．when give a task two years beyond their grade levels ,they worked hard and enjoyed the challenge , even when they didn't succeed. And in a final test at the same level as the first ,their scores improved by 25 percent. And the “smart” kids? They refused to try the harder puzzles, choosing the one that guaranteed them good scores. When they did work in the “too hard” tests , they became discouraged and upset. And when retested with the original puzzles, their scores declined by 20 percent.
Dweck’s conclusion：“When we praise kids for their intelligence，we tell them： ‘Look smart，don’t risk making mistakes．’“By contrast，“emphasizing effort gives children an inspiring factor that they can control．”

Dear sir,
Your shipment of twelve thousand ‘Smart’ watches was received by our company this morning．However we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our specific instructions with regard to this order.
It was stressed from the beginning that the delivery date had to be less than six weeks from the first order, in order to meet our own customers’requirements．While we understand that delays in production are occasionally unavoidable，we must point out that the major reason why, the order was placed with your company was because we were assured by you of its speed of delivery, and that your existing stocks(存货)were sufficiently high to ensure immediate shipment．Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers，and is bound to have a negative effect on the potential future orders．
The second complaint concerns the difference in colour between the watches we ordered and those delivered．It was stated clearly in the original order that watches in combinations of green／purple and orange／purple only were required．However only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colours specified．Our Hong Kong agent assures us that she stressed to you the importance of following our instructions precisely, since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colours at the present time．Any watches that are not of ate specified colours will，of course，be returned to you．
We are also somewhat concerned about the rather poor quality of the goods received，since it is obvious that the watches that finally arrived have been produced from inferior materials and have been manufactured to a lower standard than those in the sample．We have also found that a number of the watches do not appear to be functioning．Whether the latter problem is due to poor manufacture，damage during transportation or bad batteries is not yet clear, but we should like to point out that we feel this matter to be only your responsibility．
As a result of the above problem，therefore，we feel that the most suitable course of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory, and to subtract(扣除)any resulting costs from our final settlement．We shall also, of course, be forced to reconsider whether any further orders should be placed with your company.
We look forward to your prompt reply．
Yours sincerely,
John Smith
