For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in
Patchogue N.Y.
，
today is
speech day and
right now it’s Chris
Palaez’s
turn. The 8-year-old is the
joker of the class. With shining dark eyes he
seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy
public speaking.
But he’s
nervous.
＂
I’m here to tell
you today why you should …
should…
＂
Chris trips on the
＂
-ld
＂
a
pronunciation difficulty for many non-
native English speakers. His teacher Thomas Whaley
is next to him
whispering
support.
＂
…Vote for …me
…
＂
Except for some stumbles
Chris is doing amazingly well. When he
brings his speech to a nice conclusion
Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise
him.
A son of immigrants
Chris started learning English a little over three
years ago. Whaley
recalls
（回想起）
how at
the beginning of the year when called
upon to read Chris would excuse himself to go to
the bathroom.
Learning
English as a second language can be a painful
experience. What you need is a great teacher who
lets you
make mistakes.
＂
It takes a lot for any
student
＂
Whaley explains
＂
especially for a student
who is learning English
as their new
language to feel co
nfident enough to
say ‘I don’t know
，
but I want
to know.’
＂
Whaley
got the idea of this second-grade presidential
campaign project when he asked the children one
day to raise
their hands if they
thought they could never be a president. The
answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is
about more than just learning to read
and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn
to boast
（夸耀）
about
themselves.
＂
Boasting about yourself and
your best qualities
＂
Whaley
says
＂
is very difficult for
a child who came into the
classroom not
feeling confident.
＂
24. What made Chris
nervous
？
A.
Telling a story.
B. Making a speech.
C.
Taking a test.
D. Answering a question.
25.
What does the underlined word
＂
< br>stumbles
＂
in paragraph 2
refer to?
A. Improper
pauses. B. Bad manners. C.
Spelling mistakes. D. Silly
jokes.
26. We can infer that
the purpose of Whaley’s project is to
_________.
A. help students
see their own strengths
B. assess students’ public speaking
skills
C. prepare students
for their future jobs
D.
inspire students’ love for politics
27. Which of the following best
describes Whaley as a teacher?
A. Humorous. B.
Ambitious. C. Caring.
D. Demanding.

During the rosy years of elementary
school
（小学）
I enjoyed sharing
my dolls and jokes which allowed me to keep
my high social status. I was the queen
of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens
and mean girls and cool
kids. They rose
in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking
cigarettes breaking rules and playing jokes on
others among whom I soon found
myself.
Popularity is a
well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch
Prinstein a professor of clinical psychology sorts
the popular into two categories: the
likable and the status seekers. The likables’
plays
-well-with-others qualities
strengthen schoolyard friendships jump-
start interpersonal skills and when tapped early
are employed ever after in
life and
work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that
appears in adolescence: status born of power and
even
dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have
seemed Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant
consequences. Those who wer
e
highest in status in high school as
well as those least liked in elementary school are
＂
most likely to
engage
（从事）
in dangerous and
risky behavior.
＂
In one study Dr. Prinstein examined the
two types of popularity in 235 adolescents scoring
the least liked the most
liked and the
highest in status baxxxxsed on student
surveys
（调查研究）
.
＂
We found that the least
well-liked
teens had become more
aggressive over time toward their classmates. But
so had those who were high in status. It
clearly showed that while likability
can lead to healthy adjustment high status has
just the opposite effect on us.
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the
qualities that made the neighbors want you on a
play date-sharing kindness
openness
—
carry over to later years
and make you better able to relate and connect
with others.
In analyzing
his and other research
，
Dr.
Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is
likability related to
positive life
outcomes but it is also responsible for those
outcomes too.

kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain
