题文
阅读理解。 Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation
born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down
because "everyone's winter." And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before.
As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them "the overpraised generation."
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out
two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic - you're a born artist, point guard,
or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards
failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from
future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and
learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set
sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and
try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But
parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and
misdirecting praise. Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional
program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make
sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.1. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don't do well at school.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 Make.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
