Ⅰ. 阅读理解
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 usually get a wide-eyed answer, “I didn't do it!”
Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral(道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.
Early 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 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 likely 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.

Ⅱ.[2019·衢州] 完形填空
Last October, I told my pupils in Pompton School about my plan. “I'd like you to do jobs to make some 1 ,” I said. “Then we'll buy food for someone in need.”
I wanted them to experience that it's 2 to give than to receive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own ability to make a change.
Early in Thanksgiving week, the children couldn't wait to 3 . Before paying for the turkey and other food we chose in the supermarket, Kristine cried.
“Flowers!” And the group all ran toward the holiday 4 .
“You can't eat flowers!” I said 5 . After all, it was helpful to buy more food.
“But Mrs. Sherlock,” came the loud 6 , “we want flowers.”
In the middle of the plants, there was a pot of unusually purple mums. “ 7 will like this one,” the children agreed.

“ 11 is your close friend in the woods?” Michael asked.
The woman brightened.“The birds. They often fly over for food 12 I share my bread with them,” she said.
Then we returned to the car. Through the window we saw her walk past the turkey, straight to the 13 . She put her face in them and looked up with a big smile. She was 14 before our eyes!
In that one short moment, the children had seen for themselves the 15 they owned to make a change. Sometimes a person needed a pot of nice purple flowers on a dark November day.
