大学生能忍住一个多小时不碰手机吗?Can College Students Stand to Ditch Their Phones for an Hour or So? 文本难度:考研Nearly every student clutches a phone in one hand as they traverse the University of Central Florida campus, even while walking in groups. Laptops and tablets are lunchtime companions, and earbuds and headphones are routine accessories. While waiting for class to start, many students sit in silence, drawn into their devices. 在中佛罗里达大学的校园里,几乎每个学生手里都紧紧攥着一部手机,哪怕是一群人结伴而行也是如此。笔记本电脑和平板成了午餐时间的标配,耳机和耳塞更是日常必备。在课前等待的间隙,许多学生也是安静坐着,全身心沉浸在自己的电子设备中。It is a familiar and exasperating scene for Seán Killingsworth, 22, a former U. C. F. Student. “What is this life I’m signing up for?” he asked himself during his sophomore year. “It was just like, I’m talking to a bunch of zombies.” 对于22岁、曾在中佛罗里达大学上过学的肖恩·基林斯沃思(Seán Killingsworth)来说,这是一幕既熟悉又令人无奈的场景。“我来读大学就是为了过这种生活吗?”他在大二时曾这样问自己,“感觉我就像在跟一群行尸走肉说话。”Mr. Killingsworth craved a space where he could chat with his peers without feeling as though he was intruding. When he was in high school, he ran into similar conundrums, so he would organize phone-free hangouts with friends. Why not in college too? 基林斯沃思渴望能有这样一个空间,能让他可以和同龄人畅聊,而不会觉得自己在打扰别人。上高中时,他也遇到过类似的难题,所以他会组织朋友们一起进行“无手机聚会”。既然如此,为什么上了大学就不能这么做呢?In 2023, he helped bring the idea of no-phone social time to two different Florida campuses – U. C. F. And Rollins College. He called it the Reconnect Movement: During meetings, everyone was required to hand over their phone and socialize without devices, a concept that has become a big draw for like-minded students. 2023年,他将“无手机社交时间”的理念带到了佛罗里达州的两所高校——中佛罗里达大学和罗林斯学院。他称之为“重连运动(Reconnect Movement)”:在聚会期间,每个人都必须上交手机,在没有电子设备干扰的情况下进行交流。这一理念对许多志同道合的学生产生了巨大吸引力。Reconnect’s popularity dovetails with a cultural shift in how smartphones and social media are perceived by adults and adolescents alike. Experts have sounded the alarm about the potential mental health dangers of digital media, even though it’s hard to prove a causal connection between this technology and the rising rates of loneliness, anxiety and depression in young people. “重连运动”的流行,恰与成年人和青少年对智能手机及社交媒体的看法发生文化性转变的现象相呼应。尽管目前很难证明数字媒体与年轻人中日益加剧的孤独、焦虑和抑郁发生率之间存在直接的因果关系,专家们还是就其可能带来的心理健康隐患敲响了警钟。Campaigns to reduce or delay smartphone use like “Wait Until 8th” and books like Jonathan Haidt’s best-selling “The Anxious Generation” have struck a deep chord, particularly with parents. 诸如“等到八年级再用手机(Wait Until 8th)”这类旨在减少或推迟使用智能手机的倡议,以及乔纳森·海特(Jonathan Haidt)的畅销书《焦虑的一代》(The Anxious Generation)等书籍,都深深触动了公众,尤其是家长群体。Student-led movements have often encouraged phone abstinence, but Mr. Killingsworth’s Reconnect Movement doesn’t push students to change their relationship with technology. Instead, it aims to create what he called “human connection habitats” that eliminate the need for willpower. 以往由学生发起的运动往往鼓励大家戒掉手机,但基林斯沃思的“重连运动”并没有强迫学生去改变自身与科技的关系。相反,它的目标是打造他所说的“人类联结栖息地”,让人们不再需要依靠意志力来抵抗手机的诱惑。The idea isn’t particularly novel, Mr. Killingsworth said, but novel isn’t what his generation needs. “Gen Z needs a normal that we’ve never experienced,” he said. 基林斯沃思表示,这个想法其实并不新奇,但他这一代人需要的本就不是新奇,“Z世代需要的是一种我们从未体验过的‘正常生活’。”On a recent sticky afternoon nearly 40 students gathered at the U. C. F. Campus arboretum for the first Reconnect meeting of the fall semester. After surrendering their devices to a “phone valet,” they sat cross-legged on patchwork blankets and prepared to spend one hour without screens. 最近,在一个闷热潮湿的下午,近40名学生聚集在中佛罗里达大学校园的树木园,举行秋季学期的第一次“重连”聚会。在将设备交给“手机代管员”后,他们盘腿坐在拼布毯子上,准备共同度过一个小时没有电子屏幕的时光。As a CD player belted out reggae music from the band Stick Figure, many of the students began to make eye contact and small talk. You would be forgiven for thinking you had been transported back 20 years. 当CD机播放起 Stick Figure 乐队的雷鬼音乐,许多学生开始看向彼此并闲聊起来。这一幕,难免让人恍惚,以为自己穿越回了二十年前。【词汇】1. traverse v. 横穿;走过2. exasperating adj.使人沮丧的3. sophomore n.

To describe a court case about social media addiction.C. To prove that social media addiction is a mental disorder.D. To explore the pull of social media and related concerns.Part II. TRANSCRIPTWhat Science Can Teach Us About the Pull of Social MediaYou have probably heard of the social-media addiction trial that recently took place in Los Angeles. A young woman took Meta and YouTube to court, accusing them of making her addicted to social media — and she won.This was an interesting court case, and one that raises many questions — questions that there are currently no clear answers to, but that people ought to think about, especially as they are likely to pop up in many upcoming debates.Social media is extensively used.As many as one in every three people use social media, and in the USA, people are reportedly spending around 6 hours a day on it. In 2025, Facebook was the most popular social media platform with over 3 billion users, closely followed by WhatsApp and Instagram, which both had about 3 billion users. Approximately 60% of the global population use some kind of social media, if not multiple platforms. With such extensive use, it is not strange that social media addiction (SMA) has become a focal point for many researchers.focal adj. 中心的;重要的Is social media addictive? (Q1) It is worth noting that the DSM-5 (the diagnostic tool for psychologists) does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research. Thus, the conversations around SMA are not necessarily straightforward.DSM-5 《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版diagnostic adj. 诊断的;用于判断的Within the research literature, SMA has been described as a specific form of digital technology addiction. It refers to the excessive and compulsive use of social media platforms, which can lead to detrimental life consequences. SMA shares components with behavioral disorders like gambling, including salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse.compulsive adj. 强迫性的;难以自控的salience n. 显著性relapse n. 复发;重新陷入(不良状态)(Q2) In a study reviewing over 30,000 participants’ scores on media addiction and personality, it was found that neuroticism can be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior. Even though the relationship was not very strong, it perhaps indicates that some people may be more likely to become addicted. There are other personality characteristics associated with increased likelihood of compulsion, such as narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. But it needs to be mentioned that there may be external factors that contribute to the link between excessive social media use and personality. It is even possible that SMA may vary depending on the platform that individuals use.compulsion n. 强迫(行为);难以抗拒的冲动narcissism n. 自恋;自我中心Machiavellianism n. 权谋主义psychopathy n. 精神病态Should social media be legislated?To what extent social media ought to be controlled by law is a difficult question to address. Just as with debates around tobacco, alcohol, and gambling, there are bound to be varied opinions. (Q3) As more researchers appear to agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, then presumably, as with other substances, it should be managed to reduce potential risks. (Q4) The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in the cinema or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different.Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“It is worth noting that the DSM-5 (the diagnostic tool for psychologists) does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research.”。意为:“值得注意的是,《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版(心理学家使用的诊断工具)并不未将社交媒体成瘾视为一种独立的精神障碍;它通常被视为一种需要进一步研究的状况来讨论。”因此,正确答案为B。Q2. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“In a study reviewing over 30,000 participants’ scores on media addiction and personality, it was found that neuroticism can be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior.” 意为:“一项针对3万余名参与者在媒体成瘾和人格特质方面评分的研究发现,神经质可能是强迫性社交媒体使用行为的一个风险因素。” 该句明确指出神经质是风险因素之一,因此,正确答案为C。Q3. A.【解析】推理题。题目出处为:“As more researchers appear to agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, then presumably, as with other substances, it should be managed to reduce potential risks.”。意为:“随着越来越多的研究者似乎认同社交媒体成瘾可能是一种真实存在的成瘾性障碍,那么可以推断,就像对待其他成瘾物质一样,也应对其进行管控,以减少潜在风险。”由此可以推断,正确答案为A。Q4. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in the cinema or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different.” 意为:“在涉及儿童时,对于在线内容选择所涉及的认知复杂性,也应进行审慎的讨论。在大多数社会中,儿童观看影院或电视节目的内容都会受到引导和限制,而社交媒体在这方面显然不应例外。” 该段表明作者认为儿童在社交媒体上的浏览内容也应受到引导,因此正确答案为C。Q5. D.【解析】主旨题。全文围绕社交媒体的吸引力、是否成瘾、以及应如何应对展开探讨,因此主要探讨社交媒体的吸引力及其引发的担忧,正确答案为D。 (本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

What does the data from applied behavior analysis (ABA) indicate about the effect of verbal redirections?A. They effectively stop children’s problem behaviors.B. They often make the children’s behaviors worse.C. They work better when combined with rewards.D. They are the most common parenting strategy.Q2.

Parents feel better, and they sometimes work.D. Most parenting experts recommend them.Q3. What happens when parents intend punishment as aversiveness?A. The child’s problem behavior improves at once.B. Both parents and children may find it rewarding.C. The child becomes more afraid of the parent.D. Parents usually stop using punishment entirely.Q4. What can be inferred about the “replacement behavior” strategy mentioned in the passage?A. It rewards good behaviors to reduce bad ones.B. It punishes problem behaviors more strictly.C. It only works for neurodivergent children.D. It asks parents to ignore problem behaviors.Q5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Yelling is the most effective way to correct children.B. Parents should never use any form of punishment.C. ABA data proves isolation is the best response.D. Aversive strategies backfire; rewarding works better.Part II. TRANSCRIPTYelling at Your Child Won’t Work—but Something Else DoesIn the world of applied behavior analysis (ABA), what matters most is the data. (Q1) Many parents use verbal redirections — often born of anger — to stop their children’s behaviors, even though the data indicate the behaviors don’t actually stop. In fact, they often get worse. In this post, we will explore why yelling at a child seldom works in the long run and how to win the battle of wills with your child.verbal adj. 口头的;言语的redirection n. 转向,此处指教导What Is Punishment?Many modern parenting movements cast punishment in a negative light. However, punishment in ABA is simply the application of an outcome that decreases the chances of a behavior recurring. It is not the harsh (often called aversive) response to a child. But, many folks confuse aversives—yelling, spanking, social isolation—with punishment.recur v. 再发生;反复出现aversive adj. 厌恶的 n. 任何令人不快或痛苦的刺激物spanking n. 打屁股(尤指打小孩)Another form of punishment is often called positive punishment. Positive punishment usually works, while aversives typically are not nearly as effective. So why do people keep using aversive strategies?(Q2) The answer is often that the parent feels better when they yell or place their child alone in a room. Sometimes, using an aversive might even work. If it works just enough—and randomly enough—the decrease or elimination of the child’s problem behavior is rewarding to the parent. That random pattern of success builds a surprisingly durable habit of reaching for aversives. Unfortunately, what works best will never be tried if aversives are the main strategy. But what if there’s a better approach?When Do Punishments Become Rewards?(Q3) When we use punishment to mean aversiveness, what parents intend as punishment often turns into a reward—for everyone involved. Parents feel less anger or stress after yelling at a child, and that reduction in negative emotion is rewarding for them. When children receive attention, even attention that carries angry words, the attention itself can be rewarding. These two dynamics define the major ways “punishments” become rewards.What to Do: 3 Steps to Change a Child’s Behavior1. Define Punishment and Problem BehaviorsKeep in mind that punishment reduces—or eliminates—a problem behavior. By holding onto that as your goal, you can refocus when things get hard. Ask yourself: “What specifically do I want my child to stop doing?”2. Find the Replacement Behavior(Q4) One underused strategy is simply adding something good to a behavior you want to see more of—a replacement behavior. When parents deliberately reward an alternative behavior, the problem behavior gets crowded out. Adding a reward to compete with the problem behavior is more effective, and frankly more pleasant for everyone, than adding a consequence to the problem behavior itself.A problem behavior keeps happening because of what it produces. Attention is often the payoff. If we know the reward is attention, the next question is: What do we want the child to do instead? Once we identify an alternative, we can reward that replacement behavior consistently and drive down the problem behavior simultaneously.simultaneously adv. 同时地3. Change How You ReactThis is the hardest step—and the most important. Parents will need to:Decide what the replacement behavior looks like;Teach it by setting an example;Prompt it in situations that used to trigger yelling;Praise it heavily and pay real attention when the child uses it;Notice it even when unprompted, so the reinforcement stays consistent;Soon, the replacement behavior will take over, and the old triggers will lose their pull.What to Do if You Need HelpParents of neurodivergent children, in particular, often find themselves responding to aggressive or self-injurious behaviors with anxious or angry attention—largely because those behaviors are overwhelming. That’s not failure; that’s human. But outside help can make the difference. Finding a provider with genuine ABA expertise can turn things around faster than going it alone.neurodivergent adj. 神经多样的(大脑处理信息方式异于常人的)Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“Many parents use verbal redirections — often born of anger — to stop their children’s behaviors, even though the data indicate the behaviors don’t actually stop. In fact, they often get worse.”。 意为:“很多家长一着急就冲孩子吼,想用言语制止他们的行为,可数据显示,这么做根本没用——孩子的行为非但没停,反而常常愈演愈烈。”该句明确指出数据表明口头教导往往使孩子的行为变得更糟,因此正确答案为B。Q2. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“The answer is often that the parent feels better when they yell or place their child alone in a room. Sometimes, using an aversive might even work.”。 意为:“答案其实是:很多时候,父母吼完或者把孩子单独关在房间里,自己心里会觉得好受些。有时候,这种惩罚手段甚至还真能见效。”因此正确答案为C。Q3. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“When we use punishment to mean aversiveness, what parents intend as punishment often turns into a reward—for everyone involved. Parents feel less anger or stress after yelling at a child, and that reduction in negative emotion is rewarding for them. When children receive attention, even attention that carries angry words, the attention itself can be rewarding.” 意为:“当我们把‘惩罚’理解为施加令人不快的刺激时,父母本意是想惩罚孩子,结果却常常变成了对所有人的‘奖励’。父母冲孩子吼完之后,怒气或压力减轻了——这种负面情绪的缓解对他们来说就是一种奖励;而对孩子来说,哪怕得到的是带着怒意的关注,关注本身就足以成为一种奖励。”该句明确指出父母所以为的惩罚实际上对家长和孩子都可能变成一种奖励,因此正确答案为B。Q4. A.【解析】推理题。题目出处为:“One underused strategy is simply adding something good to a behavior you want to see more of—a replacement behavior. When parents deliberately reward an alternative behavior, the problem behavior gets crowded out.”。 意为:“有一个常被忽视的策略,其实很简单:在你希望孩子多做的行为上,主动‘加点甜头’——也就是用一个替代行为来取代问题行为。当父母有意识地去奖励这个替代行为时,原来的问题行为自然就被‘挤掉’了。”因此,正确答案为A。Q5. D.【解析】主旨题。综合全文,文章的核心观点是喊叫等厌恶型策略往往适得其反,而奖励替代行为等积极方法更为有效,因此正确答案为D。(本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

According to the text, what do all cultures not agree on regarding wisdom? A. Its importance in society. B. Its definition and components. C. Its connection to intelligence. D. Its role in spiritual practices. Q2. What are the two characteristics associated with wisdom according to the study? A. Emotional stability and logical reasoning. B. Intelligence and cultural adaptability. C. Compassionate love and spiritual understanding. D. Socio-emotional awareness and reflective orientation. Q3. What can be inferred about the role of emotions in being perceived as wise? A. Emotions should always be suppressed to appear wise. B. Emotions are irrelevant to the perception of wisdom. C. Emotions need to be balanced with logical thinking. D. Emotions are more important than reflective orientation. Q4. What does the apple pie analogy in ‘The Cambridge Handbook of Wisdom’ illustrate? A. Different cultures have their own unique wisdom traditions. B. Wisdom is like an apple pie that everyone enjoys equally. C. Wisdom is universally agreed upon across cultures. D. Wisdom is best understood through spiritual practices. Q5. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explore the universal definition of wisdom. B. To discuss how wisdom is perceived across cultures. C. To highlight the importance of emotional intelligence. D. To explain the relationship between wisdom and intelligence. Part II. TRANSCRIPTWhat makes a person wise?Think of the wisest person you know. What is it that makes them wise? What qualities do they have? Does wisdom mean the same for you as it does for me? (Q1) All cultures value wisdom, but not all cultures agree on its definition. For some, the focus is on intelligence, while others emphasise compassionate love for others. In some cultures, a spiritual component is required to be considered wise. Are there any aspects of wisdom that all cultures can agree on?compassionate adj. 富有同情心的 A group of 34 researchers from all over the world and from fields like psychology, philosophy and anthropology got together to explore ‘Dimensions of wisdom perception across twelve countries on five continents’. The study found two characteristics that everyone — from urban university students in Peru to villagers in rural India — associated with wisdom.anthropology n. 人类学 perception n. 感知,认识 (Q2-1) The first quality a wise person must have is ‘socio-emotional awareness’. This is about the ability to understand others’ point of view and really care about their thoughts and feelings.(Q2-2) However, this person must also have the second quality: ‘reflective orientation’, which is about using logic and past experience to make judgments. (Q3) If you are mindlessly driven by emotions and don’t think before you act, then you are unlikely to be perceived as wise. So, if you want to be wise, learn to both keep your cool and put yourself in others’ shoes.But, while this study helps us build a more unified definition of wisdom, the world is vast and cultures vary hugely. In ‘The Cambridge Handbook of Wisdom’, the authors make an apple pie analogy, comparing pie to wisdom. Imagine your grandmother makes your favourite apple pie — she represents the wisdom you think is best. Now, imagine you take this apple pie to the Amazon rainforest, where apples don’t grow. For the locals, the pie isn’t as good as their own traditional desserts; they’ve grown up with different flavours and ingredients, (Q4) just as different cultures have developed their own wisdom traditions. Ultimately, the way wisdom is experienced, shared, and valued depends on the cultural ingredients involved.analogy n. 类比,比喻 Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。根据“All cultures value wisdom, but not all cultures agree on its definition.”,可见所有文化都重视智慧,但都对智慧的定义看法不一致。正确答案为B。 Q2. D.【解析】细节题。根据“The first quality a wise person must have is ‘socio-emotional awareness’.”以及“However, this person must also have the second quality: ‘reflective orientation’”,可知研究将智慧与两大特质联系起来。第一个特质是“社会情感认知”,第二个特质是“反思思辨能力”。正确答案为D。 Q3. C.【解析】推理题。根据“If you are mindlessly driven by emotions and don’t think before you act, then you are unlikely to be perceived as wise.”,可知如果被情绪盲目驱使,且在行动前不假思索就不算有智慧,由此可推断,情绪需要与逻辑思维相互平衡,因此正确答案为C。 Q4. A.【解析】细节题。根据“Just as different cultures have developed their own wisdom traditions.”,可知不同文化发展了自己的智慧传统。苹果派的类比意在说明不同文化拥有各自独特的智慧传统,因此正确答案为A。 Q5. B.【解析】主旨题。根据全文,文章主要探讨了智慧在不同文化中的定义和感知方式,因此正确答案为B。 (本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

TRANSCRIPTThe Sudden Death of a Man Who Told Chinese Kids How to SucceedAny Chinese parent or student fixated on education — so, basically, most Chinese parents and students — knew the name Zhang Xuefeng. (Q1) As China’s most famous education influencer, Mr. Zhang was known for dispensing ruthlessly blunt advice about how to maximize a student’s chances at success.fixate v. 专注于;对……过分执著(Q2) The liberal arts? Only good for service jobs, he declared. Finance? Don’t bother unless your family has connections. Fast-talking and sharp-tongued, to his detractors, he was cynical and utilitarian. But to his tens of millions of fans, he embodied a rare willingness to acknowledge the harsh realities facing less privileged students, especially in the face of steep inequality and a slowing economy.detractor n. 贬低者;诋毁者utilitarian adj. 功利的;实用主义的So when Mr. Zhang suddenly died on Tuesday at age 41, of cardiac arrest, it prompted an outpouring — not only of shock, but also of reflection.cardiac adj. 心脏的;心脏病的outpouring n.

(5) What did his abrupt death, after he had long complained of being exhausted and overworked, say about China’s hypercompetitive work culture? And if life was so unpredictable, did planning so carefully for success that seemed increasingly out of reach even matter?hypercompetitive adj. 高度竞争的;竞争异常激烈的“Zhang Xuefeng’s lesson to lost young people: Enjoy your life,” was one of the top hashtags on Chinese social media on Wednesday, where news of Mr. Zhang’s death dominated discussion. “Excessive self-discipline” was another, a response to state media reports that Mr. Zhang had collapsed after going for a run in Suzhou, the city in eastern China where he lived.Another popular education influencer, Zhu Wei, posted a long tribute online, praising Mr. Zhang’s vigor and sincerity. Mr. Zhu urged his own students to slow down in their pursuit of test scores and jobs.“But I also know, what’s the cruelest thing about the age of internet traffic? It’s that nothing lasts even a month before it’s forgotten,” Mr. Zhu wrote. “Everyone will soon go back to their usual state, endlessly striving and slogging, never able to stop.”slog v. 埋头苦干;坚持不懈地努力Mr. Zhang was born in a small town in northern China. His real name was Zhang Zibiao, though he later adopted the name Xuefeng. He tested into a middling university, where he studied water supply and drainage, for which he had little enthusiasm, according to interviews he gave. After graduation, he turned to tutoring and college counseling.He shot to fame in 2016, for a video in which he — in what would become his signature rapid-fire, snark-infused patter — summarized China’s top 34 universities in seven minutes. He started a consulting company where he helped students choose majors, internships, and careers based on cold-eyed considerations of their test scores, family backgrounds, and whether they prioritized money or stability. His livestreams attracted hundreds of thousands of views, and his courses could cost thousands of dollars.patter n. 顺口溜;(饶舌的)念叨internship n. 实习;实习期His celebrity came as much from his advice as his willingness to provoke. A comment in 2023 that parents should knock their children unconscious rather than let them study journalism, because of the weak job prospects, set off days of online debate. Critics said he misunderstood the point of education or was suggesting that poorer students shouldn’t follow their dreams.“I come from an ordinary family,” Mr. Zhang wrote in response. (Q4) “If you come from a wealthy family, you have more choices, you can’t choose wrongly. But most families aren’t that well-off, and when choosing a major, you have to choose one that’s suitable and will put food on the table.”Part III. KEYQ1.

TRANSCRIPTYelling at Your Child Won’t Work—but Something Else DoesIn the world of applied behavior analysis (ABA), what matters most is the data. (Q1) Many parents use verbal redirections — often born of anger — to stop their children’s behaviors, even though the data indicate the behaviors don’t actually stop. In fact, they often get worse. In this post, we will explore why yelling at a child seldom works in the long run and how to win the battle of wills with your child.verbal adj. 口头的;言语的redirection n. 转向,此处指教导What Is Punishment?Many modern parenting movements cast punishment in a negative light. However, punishment in ABA is simply the application of an outcome that decreases the chances of a behavior recurring. It is not the harsh (often called aversive) response to a child. But, many folks confuse aversives—yelling, spanking, social isolation—with punishment.recur v. 再发生;反复出现aversive adj. 厌恶的 n. 任何令人不快或痛苦的刺激物spanking n. 打屁股(尤指打小孩)Another form of punishment is often called positive punishment. Positive punishment usually works, while aversives typically are not nearly as effective. So why do people keep using aversive strategies?(Q2) The answer is often that the parent feels better when they yell or place their child alone in a room. Sometimes, using an aversive might even work. If it works just enough—and randomly enough—the decrease or elimination of the child’s problem behavior is rewarding to the parent. That random pattern of success builds a surprisingly durable habit of reaching for aversives. Unfortunately, what works best will never be tried if aversives are the main strategy. But what if there’s a better approach?When Do Punishments Become Rewards?(Q3) When we use punishment to mean aversiveness, what parents intend as punishment often turns into a reward—for everyone involved. Parents feel less anger or stress after yelling at a child, and that reduction in negative emotion is rewarding for them. When children receive attention, even attention that carries angry words, the attention itself can be rewarding. These two dynamics define the major ways “punishments” become rewards.What to Do: 3 Steps to Change a Child’s Behavior1. Define Punishment and Problem BehaviorsKeep in mind that punishment reduces—or eliminates—a problem behavior. By holding onto that as your goal, you can refocus when things get hard. Ask yourself: “What specifically do I want my child to stop doing?”2. Find the Replacement Behavior(Q4) One underused strategy is simply adding something good to a behavior you want to see more of—a replacement behavior. When parents deliberately reward an alternative behavior, the problem behavior gets crowded out. Adding a reward to compete with the problem behavior is more effective, and frankly more pleasant for everyone, than adding a consequence to the problem behavior itself.A problem behavior keeps happening because of what it produces. Attention is often the payoff. If we know the reward is attention, the next question is: What do we want the child to do instead? Once we identify an alternative, we can reward that replacement behavior consistently and drive down the problem behavior simultaneously.simultaneously adv. 同时地3. Change How You ReactThis is the hardest step—and the most important. Parents will need to:Decide what the replacement behavior looks like;Teach it by setting an example;Prompt it in situations that used to trigger yelling;Praise it heavily and pay real attention when the child uses it;Notice it even when unprompted, so the reinforcement stays consistent;Soon, the replacement behavior will take over, and the old triggers will lose their pull.What to Do if You Need HelpParents of neurodivergent children, in particular, often find themselves responding to aggressive or self-injurious behaviors with anxious or angry attention—largely because those behaviors are overwhelming. That’s not failure; that’s human. But outside help can make the difference. Finding a provider with genuine ABA expertise can turn things around faster than going it alone.neurodivergent adj. 神经多样的(大脑处理信息方式异于常人的)Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“Many parents use verbal redirections — often born of anger — to stop their children’s behaviors, even though the data indicate the behaviors don’t actually stop. In fact, they often get worse.”。 意为:“很多家长一着急就冲孩子吼,想用言语制止他们的行为,可数据显示,这么做根本没用——孩子的行为非但没停,反而常常愈演愈烈。”该句明确指出数据表明口头教导往往使孩子的行为变得更糟,因此正确答案为B。Q2. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“The answer is often that the parent feels better when they yell or place their child alone in a room. Sometimes, using an aversive might even work.”。 意为:“答案其实是:很多时候,父母吼完或者把孩子单独关在房间里,自己心里会觉得好受些。有时候,这种惩罚手段甚至还真能见效。”因此正确答案为C。Q3. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“When we use punishment to mean aversiveness, what parents intend as punishment often turns into a reward—for everyone involved. Parents feel less anger or stress after yelling at a child, and that reduction in negative emotion is rewarding for them. When children receive attention, even attention that carries angry words, the attention itself can be rewarding.” 意为:“当我们把‘惩罚’理解为施加令人不快的刺激时,父母本意是想惩罚孩子,结果却常常变成了对所有人的‘奖励’。父母冲孩子吼完之后,怒气或压力减轻了——这种负面情绪的缓解对他们来说就是一种奖励;而对孩子来说,哪怕得到的是带着怒意的关注,关注本身就足以成为一种奖励。”该句明确指出父母所以为的惩罚实际上对家长和孩子都可能变成一种奖励,因此正确答案为B。Q4. A.【解析】推理题。题目出处为:“One underused strategy is simply adding something good to a behavior you want to see more of—a replacement behavior. When parents deliberately reward an alternative behavior, the problem behavior gets crowded out.”。 意为:“有一个常被忽视的策略,其实很简单:在你希望孩子多做的行为上,主动‘加点甜头’——也就是用一个替代行为来取代问题行为。当父母有意识地去奖励这个替代行为时,原来的问题行为自然就被‘挤掉’了。”因此,正确答案为A。Q5. D.【解析】主旨题。综合全文,文章的核心观点是喊叫等厌恶型策略往往适得其反,而奖励替代行为等积极方法更为有效,因此正确答案为D。(本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌授课

授课点评:潘紫萌老师在本次大赛中与来自全国各地的商务英语优秀教师展开激烈角逐,在教学理念、教学方法、课堂设计、英语素质、商务知识、教姿教态、师生互动等方面的表现都较突出,最后以总分第一荣获特等奖。潘老师以准确的英语发音先声夺人,丰富的表达方式、适中的语调语速和端庄的教姿教态也令人印象深刻。在课程设计环节,为实现其教学目标,她选择business ethics作为主题,介绍了教学目标、学生特征、以学生为中心和以产出为导向的教学理念,以及线上线下结合、传统和高科技媒体结合等丰富多彩的教学方式。这份介绍全面立体但简明扼要,为后面的演示(demo)课提供了一个很好的支撑。由于大赛的授课时间有限,潘老师突出重点,在演示课上只展示教学方案的第三步,即participatory learning 1 和 post assessment 1。她采用BOPPPS(bridge in, objectives, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post assessment, summary)模型,通过德国大众汽车减排作假、中国支付宝公益植树项目等案例,教学目标涵盖商务英语知识、技能、以及相关的伦理和价值观等。在短短的十几分钟里要达到这么多项教学目标绝非易事。潘老师通过一系列的短视频、多种教学方法(如听力填空、案例讨论、汉译英、样本对话补正等)以及活泼的师生互动,较好地实现了教学目标,显示出选手突出的课堂组织能力。商务英语教学起源于英美等国,因此基本使用本国素材、讲本国故事。传入中国后,主要使用外国素材、讲外国故事。令人欣喜的是,潘老师注意突出中国特色,多次引用中国案例,讲授中国故事,传播中国价值观。加上她出色的英语基本功和良好的师生互动,使得教学过程十分流畅,也没有不同文化同场展示的违和感。总而言之,潘紫萌老师在授课环节的各方面表现都很优秀。不足之处当然也有。首先, 8’13’’开始的讨论过于仓促,只有18秒, 8’31’’就结束了。由于讨论不充分,在随后的问答环节中,更多的回答似乎来自老师而不是学生。第二个是要增加教学过程的自然自发 (spontaneity)。不知是因为课前多次排练还是老师特意要求,学生的产出只有一次对话(17’40’’)相对自然,其他的多次回答虽准确无误,但都像中国小学生朗读课文或回答问题,语音、语调、语速都过于整齐合一,这不利于培养学生的英语实际表达能力。点评专家:陈准民

第12届教学大赛英语专业组特等奖胡笑然说课

说课点评:胡笑然老师在说课环节清晰地表达了对所给文章的文本理解和基于语篇主题意义探究而开展教学的基本认识。在拿到文章后的短暂时间内,该选手对语篇进行了审读,并在此基础上快速构思了90分钟的教学设计,形成了基本的教学步骤。根据教学设计,胡老师计划选择与语篇主题相关的短视频为导入,激发学生的学习兴趣;然后以解读语篇为抓手,对语篇的主题、结构、语言、文体等方面进行分析。胡老师按照学生“学后能做”为目的,确定本课的教学目标并介绍了具体的教学步骤。她在教学设计中体现了自己的教学理念和对课文的独到见解,将课文分为三个部分,对每一部分的内容和结构进行了必要的讲解。通过解析语篇的主题,确定了语篇的中心思想,之后列举了语篇的核心概念、关键名词以及相关修饰词及其功能。胡老师将教学目标设定为学生“能做”,即能够理解语篇的主题意义,能够发现篇章结构的特征,能够与话题相同但来源不同的同类文章进行对比从而激发学生的批判性思维,能够从文章的体裁、结构、修辞等方面学习、理解和掌握语篇的关键词语,以及作者对关键概念的词语修饰和语言表达。教学设计安排了学生的小组讨论,要求学生形成有具体步骤的思维导图和概念关联,并在课堂上融入思政元素,并进行必要的陈述。最后一个环节为开放性的讨论,引导学生对不同的观点进行评论。胡老师基于丰富的教学经验和对学情的分析判断,对教学目的、教学重点、教学环节以及设计缘由作了清晰的陈述,显示了其对教学语篇的基本认识和语篇教学娴熟的驾驭能力。说课目的明确,条理清晰,设计突出主题,有一定的感染力,突出学生主体,采用活动途径,倡导体验参与,重视培养学生批判性思维和论说能力,所设计的教学环节有较好的可操作性。从整体上看,胡笑然老师有较高的人文素养和自己的教学风格,语言流畅,表述准确,知识面较广,该说课达到了较高的水准。不过胡笑然老师的时间把控不佳,说课缺乏完整性,强调篇章结构和概念理解,但忽略了教学评的一致性和一体化设计。建议她在今后的教学设计中更加重视学生在语言知识、语言技能、文化内涵、思维心智、情感态度等方面的综合发展和有效评价,积极采用探究式、任务型、交互性的教学方法,加强课外作业的安排和指导,促进学生在语言能力、人文素养、科学思维等方面的同步发展。点评专家:梅德明
