11、n return to school this fall and sign up for a new years worth of extracurricular（课外的) activities，parents should keep one question in mind. Whether your kid loves Little League or gymnastics, ask the program organizers this: “Which kids get awards?” If the answer is“Everybody gets a souvenir”, pleas

12、e find another programI have spent years reporting on the effects of praise and rewards on kids. The science is clear. Awards can be powerful motivators(动力), but nonstop recognition does not inspire children to succeedInstead, it can make them fail to realize their full potentialIt turns out that，on

13、ce kids are expert in a task，the excitement and uncertainty of real competition may become the activitys very appealIf children know they will automatically get an award，what is the motivator for improvement? Why bother learning problem-solving skills, when there are never obstacles to begin with? I

14、ts accepted that，before punishing children，we must consider their individual levels of cognitive(认 知 的)and emotional development. Then we monitor them, changing our approach if theres a negative outcome. However, when it comes to rewards, people argue that kids must be treated equally：Everyone must

15、always win. That is misguided. And there are negative outcomes. Not just for specific children，but for society as a whole“In life, youre going to lose more often than you win, even if youre good at something,” Ms. Twenge told me, “Youve got to get used to that to keep going”When children make mistak

16、es, our job should not be to spin those losses into decorated victories. Instead, our job is to help kids overcome difficulties, to help them see that progress over time is more important than a particular win or loss, and to help them politely congratulate the child who succeeded even when they fai

19、Never lose the opportunity for prizesBPunishing may do harm to childrenCLosing sometimes is good for childrenDMake children participate in more activitiesBThe first thing that struck me about Hossa was the pure, total silence. Its almost as if time stands still here, with nothing so much as a light

20、wind disturbing the mirror-like lakes and trees that extend as far as the eye can see. This is undoubtedly the reward for those who drive into this wilderness off the main E63 highway 750km northeast of Helsinki. Even by Finnish standards, Hossa is remote. Youre more likely to come across a reindeer

21、（驯鹿）than a fellow hiker along most of the 90km of marked trails through the forest that make up one of the oldest hiking areas in Finland.Its this sense of escapism that will no doubt attract far more visitors to Hossa. The long-standing relationship between man and nature in Hossa dates back thousa

22、nds of years. The first settlers arrived after the last ice age, following the wild reindeer that populated the north of Finland as the climate warmed. The Vrikallio rock wall, which rises more than 10m perpendicular（垂直的）from Lake Somerjrvi, reveals evidence of early life here: Stone Age paintings o

23、n the rocks face are estimated to be up to 4,500 years old, though they werent discovered until 1977. Its not surprising that the Vrikallio paintings remained hidden for so long given that they could only be reached by boat or on foot (or ski) when the lake froze over in each winter. Today, the rock

24、 wall and its new viewing platform are accessible by a picturesque 4.5km footpath from the Lihapyrre parking area, a short drive from the Hossa Visitor Centre.Theres still an air of mystery surrounding the exact age and meaning of the 60 painted figures on the rocks face. The most attractive are fou

Which of the following tells us there

The lakes there are clear.B. The wild reindeer populated the north of FinlandC. Stone Age paintings were

28、 discovered 4500 years agoD. The weather there is very cold in winter.CThroughout history, humans have existed side-by-side with bacteria and viruses. We have developed gradually to resist them, and in response they have developed new ways of infecting us.We have had antibiotics（抗生素） for almost a ce

29、ntury, ever since Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin. In response, bacteria have responded by developing antibiotic resistance. The battle is endless: because we spend so much time with pathogens（病原体）, we sometimes develop a kind of natural situation where we cant make progress.However, what wo

30、uld happen if we were suddenly exposed to deadly bacteria and viruses that have been absent for thousands of years, or that we have never met before?We may be about to find out.

31、e releasing ancient viruses and bacteria that are springing back to life.In August 2018, in a remote corner called the Yamal Peninsula in the Arctic Circle,a 12-year-old boy diedand at least twenty people were hospitalised after being infected by anthrax.（炭疽病）The theory is that, over 75 years ago, a reindeer infected with anthrax died and its frozen body became trapped under a layer of frozen soil, known as permafrost. There it stayed until a heat-wave in the summer of 2018, when the permafrost melted.This exposed the reindeer body and released infectious anthrax into nearby water an
