阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 Parents everywhere praise their kids. Jenn Berman, author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids, says, “We’ve gone to the opposite extremes a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict”. By giving kids a lot of praise, parents think they’re building their children’s confidence, when, in fact, it may be just the opposite. Too much praise can backfire and, when given in a way that’s insincere, make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents’ praise has put them.
Still, don’t go too far in the other direction. Not giving enough praise can be just as damaging as giving too much. Kids will feel like they’re not good enough or that you don’t care and, as a result, may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments.
So what is the right amount of praise? Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity. If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome, you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward. “We should
especially recognize our children’s efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal”, says Donahue, author of Parenting Without Fear: Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters. “One thing to remember is that it’s the process not the end product that matters. ”
Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team. But if he’s out there every day and playing hard, you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses. Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard, cook dinner, or finish a book report. But whatever it is, praise should be given on a case-by-case basis and be proportionate( 相称的)to the amount of effort our child has put into it. 练考场审题

Experts warn about two extremes when it comes to parents’ praise for their children. On the one hand, too much praise might lead to children’s lack of enthusiasm to explore new things, for they’re afraid they won’t meet parents’ expectations. On the other hand, insufficient praise might let children consider efforts pointless. Therefore, parents should praise children based on the process rather than the result.

读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 If you’ve heard people say they are having “high tea” in some exclusive, smart hotel lobby, you can smile to yourself, knowing that “high tea” is seldom served to tourists with fancy lodging.
“High tea” doesn’t refer to the “fancy” fixings, the elegant silver, the pure-white table linens, or the luxury surroundings of a high-class salon. It is actually the main meal of the day, served between 6:00 and 7:00 p. m. The “high” in the phrase comes from the time of the day, meaning “late” or “high” in the afternoon.
For a long time, the lower and middle classes could afford only one meal per day. In order to make it through to the next day, the main meal would be taken after work and would consist of anything from the remnants of lunch to the very basic food staples of the time:a slice of bread, a hunk of cheese, a piece of sausage, all of which were eaten while drinking their evening tea. However, as the country advanced, the common people got wealthier, and evening meals began to be supplemented with heavier foods like roast beef, fish, eggs, vegetables, and potatoes.
Sometimes referred to as a “meat tea” , or a “ham tea”, the term “high tea” has been replaced with the modern equivalent of dinner.
In contrast, “low tea”, or “afternoon tea” is served earlier in the afternoon, usually between 4:00 and 5:00. Originally started by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, the tradition began when Anna needed a little sustenance to tide her over.
Tidbits were served with tea, and Anna invited friends to share conversation over these small snacks before the affair of the evening meal.
In reality, people who have beautiful “teas” with fancy pastries and cakes nowadays, are partaking of the “low tea” or “light tea” that began so many years ago in Anna’s time.
