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] 【C4】

选项

答案 L

解析 [语法判断]空格位于be之后,介词短语之前,因此应填入动词的分词形式或形容词。[语义判断]本句指出,表扬也可能会成为一种期望,即他们所做的任何事情都必须______表扬。本句说明过度表扬的另外一个害处,即无论孩子做了什么事情,都期待得到表扬。因此,本空应填入含有“给予”意义的词,故本题答案为L)rewarded。be rewarded with sth.表示“获得某事物的奖励”。
