2、的看法On Celebrity Working as Products Spokesperson(分数:103.00)_二、Part Reading Compr(总题数:1,分数:70.00)Self-esteem: the Myth of Feeling Good About OneselfNo one would argue that children thrive when they feel respected, important, and cared for by other persons, or that they falter when they lack the self-
3、pride and self-confidence that accompanies such approval and support. However, at the hands of educators eager to encourage lagging pupils, a myth has developed that raising youngsters self-esteem is a sure means of improving their levels of achievement and solving many of the nations social ills.A
4、1990 report, for instance, proposes that “self-esteem is the likeliest candidate for a social vaccine, something that empowers us to live responsibly and that keeps us from the lure of crime, teen pregnancy, and educational failure. The lack of self-esteem is central to more personal and social ills
5、 plaguing our state and nation as we approach the end of the twentieth century. “By the 1960s, following the advent of the self-actualization theories of personal growth espoused by psychologists Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, interest in enhancing self-esteem as a path to accomplishment got under
6、way in the nations schools. Since then, dozens of “how-to“ books have described ways for improving childrens positive feeling about themselves. The theory is simple: Feeling good is a necessary predecessor of accomplishment.Despite its current popularity, questions can be raised about the assumption
7、s underlying the self-esteem movement. For example, what benefit does a third-grader gain in telling herself, “I am smart,“ “I am a good student,“all forms of the “affirmative language“ advocated by Douglas Bloch in his book Positive Self-talk for Children?Does it really enhance the self-esteem of m
8、embers of the fifth-grade baseball teamor improve their athletic skillwhen everyone is awarded a trophy, despite the fact that the team did not show noticeable improvement throughout the season? What effect will this have on next years efforts when this record of performance ends with apparent appro
9、val and satisfaction? Countless statistics and surveys have had a unanimous(一致的) result: nothing is changed, and the days go on the same as ever.People are eager to praise the toddler for a few tentative steps and the two-year-old for simply attempting to match form with hole in a puzzle board. Self
10、-esteem is heightened in the young child through such love and Approval. Older kids, though, are foxy analysts and know when performance merits praise and when it does not. Repeating indiscriminate praise or acclaiming minimal accomplishments run the risk of transforming positive response into meani
11、ngless flattery(恭维).Self-esteem theorists appear to have it backwards. Meaningful self-evaluation and positive self-esteem usually are the results, not the prerequisites(前提), of accomplishment. Praise is just one source of feedback; self-esteem more often comes from an awareness that the requirement
12、s of a sought-after goal have been mastered. Acquiring the knowledge and skills that enable a child to make progress toward such goals is a necessary basis for developing healthy, realistic self-esteem.Sports are an arena in which Americans generally have little reluctance to require hard work and p
13、ersistence. Coaches do not hesitate to point out errors and mistakes. Childrens self-esteem does not appear to suffer when they are told that they need to practice more and concentrate on the task at hand. The usual effect is renewed effort to work, practice, and learn.In contrast, Americans are rel
14、uctant to have teachers evaluate the academic performance of their elementary school children with more than a “satisfactory“ or “needs improvement. “ Later, parents urge high schools to adopt more lenient(宽松的) grading systems, worried that the childrens self-esteem will plummet when they find that
15、the “satisfactory“ of earlier years now has become a “C“ or “D.“Sympathetic teachers, aware of the difficulties students encounter in their everyday lives, often relinquish standards in an effort to build students self-confidence. In doing so, they deprive youngsters of the kinds of experience that
16、are prerequisite to later success. Students are fooled and their prospects for later employment are placed in jeopardy when teachers fail to teach them how diligence and effort can help to avoid academic problems, and when they fail to provide children with realistic feedback in meeting well-defined
17、, challenging goals.American students face a bleak future if they are unable to compete with their peers, both in the U.S. and other industrialized countries. The seriousness of the matter becomes evident in the results of comparative studies of academic achievement. In one, for example, 96% of Chin
18、ese and 90% of Japanese fifth-graders tested had mathematics scores higher than the average of their counterparts in the U. S. Results are not much better at the 11 th-grade level: 86% of the Chinese and 92% of the Japanese received scores above American average scores.One might guess from the growi
19、ng emphasis on self-esteem that American children generally have a negative self-image. This is not the case. In research conducted with representative samples of 11th-graders and their parents in Minnesota and Virginia, for instance, we found that Americans seem to have an unusually positive image
20、of themselves. Participants were asked to rate the students achievement in mathematics on a seven-point scale where a rating of four was defined as average. Both students and their parents made ratings whose averages were significantly above averagethat is, above four. “Above average“ ratings were n
21、ot limited to academic areas; the students gave themselves these ratings on a diverse array of characteristics, including athletic skills, physical appearance, and how well they got along with others. Chinese and Japanese students and parents made more realistic appraisals., their average ratings co
22、nformed more closely to the average as the researchers had defined it.Evaluations made by the Americans do not describe students plagued by self-doubt and in need of strong reassurance. Of course, there are American youngsters who have low self-esteem and who respond to this by giving up academic pu
23、rsuits. Nevertheless, the principal challenge, it seems, is not so much in building up their self-esteem as in teaching them that all students are capable of raising their levels of performance if they are willing to work hard.We asked several thousand American and East Asian students to tell us wha
24、t was most important for doing well in school. The most common response of the East Asian students was “studying.“ The U.S. students said “a good teacher“. The difference in the place of responsibility reflected in these answers welt may reveal the consequences of a “feel good“ approach.What conclus
