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] 【C2】

选项

答案 G

解析 [语法判断]空格位于不定冠词a之后,名词effect之前,因此应填入形容词。[语义判断]本句指出,然而,过度表扬会产生______影响。前一句提到,父母认为表扬孩子可以培养孩子的自信心,这是表扬的好处。本句用However与前一句构成转折关系,因此本句说明的是过度表扬会有害处。因此,本空应填入含有“有害的,负面的”意义的形容词,故本题答案为G)negative。
