25、 we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜橱) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. Buy it, my wife said at once. Well carry it home on the roof rack.

26、he roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too. In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea. After a time my wife said, Theres a lon

27、g line of cars behind. Why dont they overtake, I wonder? In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came

28、to me. Right, sir, he said. Do you need any more help?I was a bit puzzled. Thanks, officer, I said. You have been very kind. I live just on the road.He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. Well, well, he said, laughing. Its a cupboard youve got there! We thought it was

32、ildren for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence. Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase childrens self-confidence the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything

33、children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. Teachers should not say things like good job or nice work whenever a child does something. They should encourage them to continue to improve, some researchers advise. Another idea is that children with high sel

34、f-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, Self-confidence does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a childs strengths (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise c

35、an. Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students. Its important to tell children the truth about what theyve done.
