问题    When my son completes a task, I can’t help but praise him. It’s only natural to give praise where praise is due, right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?
   According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don’t benefit from【C1】______ praise as much as we’d like to think. "Parents often praise, believing they are building their child’s self-confidence. However, over-praising can have a【C2】______ effect," says Phillip. "When we use the same praise【C3】______ , it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do must be【C4】______ with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of【C5】______ their parents."
   Does this mean we should do away with all the praise? Phillip says no. "The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the【C6】______ It is the recognition of a child’s attempt, or the process in which they achieved something, that is essential," she says. "Parents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow."
   So how do we break the【C7】______ of praise we’re all so accustomed to? Phillip says it’s important to【C8】______ between "person praise" and "process praise". "Person praise is【C9】______ saying how great someone is. It’s a form of personal approval. Process praise is acknowledgement of the efforts the person has just【C10】______ Children who receive person praise are more likely to feel shame after losing," says Phillip.
   A) choose F) experienced K) repeatedly
   B) constant G) negative L) rewarded
   C) disappointing H) outcome M) separately
   D) distinguish I) pattern N) simply
   E) exhausting J) plural O) undertaken [br] 【C1】

选项

答案 B

解析 [语法判断]空格位于介词from之后,名词praise之前,因此应填入形容词。[语义判断]本句指出,孩子从______表扬中得到的好处并不像我们认为的那么多。第一段末句提出疑问:是否有过度表扬这样的情况呢?本段引用心理学家凯瑟琳-菲利普的话,说明的确是存在过度表扬的。本句即她的观点。因此,本空应填入含有“过多的,大量的”意义的形容词,故本题答案为B)constant。
