　　Parents used to rely on physical punishments to control their children's bad behavior, which has been proven to be very harmful．Therefore, most parents now choose to simply yell, thinking that language

　　probably won't hurt as much．But is hat really so?

　　Using harsh words such as "lazy" or "stupid" is just as harmful as hitting, according to a new study carried out at the University of Pittsburgh, US．"It cannot reduce or correct their proble behavior," said Professor Ming - Te Wang, leader of the study, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal．"On the contrary, it makes it worse．"

　　In the study, which involved 976 two - parent families, researchers asked the kids about their behavior problems, while asking their parents how often they had yelled at them． Nearly half of the parents admitted that they'd shouted at their children in the past year．Researchers noted that the kids whose parents used more harsh words experienced more behavior problems after-wards, including fighting, stealing, lyg as well as symptoms of depression．

　　"Adolescence is a very sensitive period when kids arc trying Lo develop their self -identities（性）．When you yell, it makes them feel they are not capable, and that they are worthless and useless," Wang said．"This may explain why so many parents say that no matter how loud they shout, their teenagers don' t listen．

　　While harsh yelling can stop bad behavior in the moment,

　　it doesn' t teach children to be-have how parents want them to, according to Professor Alan Kazdin of Yale University, US．What parents need is to pse their children for good behavior．If parents really need to punish their kids, they should try things like taking away smartphones and reminding hem that good behavior will get them back． After all, "we want to teach kids, not hurt them," said Kazdin．

　　．How do most parents react to their children's misbehaving now?

　　A．Letting them alone．B．Beating them．

　　C．Shouting at them．D．Praising them．

　　．The study finds that using harsh words． A．can make things even worse B．inspires children to do better

　　C．corrects children's bad behavior D．has a better effect than hitting

　　．According to Professor Ming - Te Wang,． A．physical punishments are sometimes necessary

　　B．children are more self - centered in adolescence

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　In the long discussion of water on the Moon, a new study contradicts (与……相矛盾) some recent reports that say the Moon had water at the time of its formation. A group of researchers reports in the journal Science that when the Moon was created, some 4. 5 billion years ago, there was not much hydrogen (氢气) on it, and therefore no water.

　　The researchers surveyed and evaluated this by analyzing chlorine isotopes found in lunar rock samples from Apollo missions. The range of chlorine (氯) isotopes in lunar samples was 25 times that found in samples from Earth.

　　“If the Moon had significant levels of hydrogen, as Earth did, this range would have been far less,” said Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the study’s lead author.

　　“The chlorine would have stuck together with hydrogen, forming compounds like hydrogen chloride, and escaped from the Moon’s surface,”he said. The abundance of chlorine indicates a lack of hydrogen and water.

　　“The amount of water on the Moon was way too low for life to have ever have possibly have existed there,” he said.

　　Most scientists believe the Moon was formed when a large object struck Earth, breaking off a chunk (a vast piece) that has since orbited Earth.

　　On Earth, goes one theory, water was released as steam from molten basalts (玄武岩) over time, eventually forming bodies of water.

　　“An understanding of whether the Moon was dry or wet will help us understand how water appeared on Earth,” Dr. Sharp said.

　　1. A new study indicates that　on the moon.

　　A. there is plenty of water

　　B. water is unlikely to exist

　　2. The author would like to tell us　through the sixth paragraph.

　　A. why there is no water on the Moon

　　B. how the Moon was formed

　　C. when the Earth struck the Moon

　　D. where the Moon orbited

　　3. What does the underlined word “this” stand for in the second paragraph?

　　A. Neither hydrogen nor water on the Moon.

　　B. Too much chlorine isotopes on the Moon.

　　C. Not being much hydrogen, no water on the Moon.

　　D. More chlorine exists on the Moon than Earth.

　　4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Zachary D. Sharp, a scientist of New Mexico was in charge of the new study.

　　B. Chlorine isotopes are 25 times in lunar larger than Earth.

　　C. The more abundant chloride, the shorter hydrogen and water.

　　D. The new study is beneficial to understand how water appeared on Earth.

　　5. What can we learn from the passage?

　　A. There are enough water on the Earth.

　　B. Hydrogen chloride easily escaped from the Moon’s surface.

　　C. The Earth had significant levels of hydrogen.

　　D. Water on the Earth is directly from molten basalts.
