41、y written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didnt 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.

42、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 classmates toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing ( 承認(rèn)) it. In each c

43、ase, they asked the children, How would the child feel? How would the mother feel?The childrens answers 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

44、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 (積極的) feelings towards a confessor.Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a childs confession

45、 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.42.What does the underlined word “denial” in P

The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crimeD. The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry w

48、ith their confessions. 45.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies?A. Parents should at once punish the children who lied.B. Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.C. Parents should never get angry after their childrens confessions.D. Parents should show p
