According to some researchers, praising everything children do 61 (do) not build self-confidence, and eventually the praise becomes 62 (use).
Most parents and educators agree that praise is developing children’s self-confidence, so the more praise the better. Although praise is 63 (obvious) good for children, if adults praise everything children do, the praise can eventually lose 64 (it) effect——youngsters will constantly seek praise, some child professionals say.
Rather than 65 (respond) to all of children’s work with phrases such as “Good job” or “Nice work”, teachers should consider 66 (comment) that describe the content and encourage children to continue to improve, some researchers advise.
“The common idea is that children with high self-confidence will be 67 (happy) and perform better in school and later 68 life. Research does not support that idea, however,” said Marshall Duke, 69 professional researcher. “Self-confidence does not make them happier, achieve more, 70 become more capable,” Duke said. 第三部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)

Dear editor,
I am Evan from Canada. Being the oldest child in the family has its disadvantages. First of all, I have to share all my toys with my young sisters. Of course, they don't need to return to the favor because I'm total uninterested in their things. Besides, they are always hanging around me. I just can't get moment's peace. At meals, I have to eat whichever is on the plate regardless of the taste. My sisters only try one bite if it's not our favorite food. In addition, when it comes to practice our musical instruments, I have to practice more than double the time. Worst of all, I got a larger quantity of housework. Comparing to them, I'm feeling rather annoyed. Can you please give me some advices?
Yours truly,
Evan Smith
