It does not help them build self-confidence.Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children’s self-confidence —the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job’ or 'nice work’ whenever a child does something. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "Self-confidence does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child’s strengths (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students."It’s important to tell children the truth about what they’ve done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they’re wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That’s just how the world is."33. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.A. always look for praiseB. increase self-confidenceC. try their best to studyD. behave better in their daily life34. In order to build self-confidence in children, some researchers advise parents to______.A. make children live more happilyB. let their children do more difficult workC. help their children get higher scoresD. encourage their children to improve35. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?A. Praise makes children become successful.B. Children with high self-confidence are happier than others.C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.D. Praise changes children a lot.■第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
