第一篇

More than 50 music students of New Milford High School in New Jersey, US, got a letter from their headmaster. The letter said that the music department of the school was in big trouble. The students had to pass a test, or the department would be shut down.

On a Saturday, two officials greeted the nervous students. They asked the students to play a piece by Richard Strauss. But they had to sing the words to the music –German words!

Other tasks were also difficult. One student had to sing Mary had a Little Lamb, a children’s song, in an operatic (歌剧的) voice.

After three hours of testing, students waited for the results. They met some students from the New Jersey Youth Orchestra (管弦乐团). The judges gave them only a passing grade.

The worried New Milford students started to realize they had no chance. “I thought it was over,” said Bryan Olsen-Santana, a junior. “The person next to me was crying. I felt bad for her. I felt bad for myself, too, because music is everything to me.”

But then the headmaster came and told them something very dramatic: “Someone’s played a joke on you!”

What was going on?

The test was part of a reality TV show called “Schooled”. The students’ parents, the school and a TV network had made it together.

Everything was fake. The two “officials” were really comedians. The “students f rom New Jersey Youth Orchestra” were from another school. There were hidden cameras. The students’ parents were hiding as they watched.

As a reward for putting up with the joke, the students got gifts: MP3 players, digital cameras and school supplies. They were all from the show’s sponsor.

第二篇

Parents of very young children know this：You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie—the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial: “I didn’t do it!’’

Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道徳) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.

Early in 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the children. How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?

The children’s answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the above research, showing a gradual growth of moral understanding in early childhood. More of the four-to-five-year-olds thought the child in the story would feel better keeping the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.

Smith says, “Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more l ikely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.

1. What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. 委屈

B. 责备

C. 否认

D. 拒绝

2. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ______.

A. kids can’t tell “right” from “wrong”

B. it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth

C. it’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truth

D. all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act

3. What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?

A. Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.

B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.

C. The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.

D. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.

4. According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?

A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.

B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.

C. Parents should never get angry after their children’s confessions.

D.Parents should show positive feelings about their children’s confessions.
