S Older people like reading negative news stories about their younger counterparts because it boosts their own selfesteem,according to a new study.
German researchers said older people tend to be portrayed (描绘成) negatively in society. Although they are often described as wise,they are also be shown as being slow and forgetful. "Living in a youth centered culture,they may appreciate a boost (增进) in selfesteem. That's why they prefer the negative stories about younger people,who are seen as having a higher sta?tus in our society," said Dr. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick,of Ohio State University.
Knobloch-Westerwick and her coauthor Matthias Hastall,of Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen,Germany,studied 276 German adults,including 178 aged 18 to 30 and 98 be?tween 55 and 60. Their findings are published in the Journal of Communication.
All the adults in the study were shown what they were led to believe was a test version of a new online news magazine. They were also given a limited time to look over either a negative or positive version of 10 preselected articles.
Each story was also paired with a photograph depicting someone of either the younger or the older age group.
The researchers found that older people were more likely to choose to read negative articles about those younger than themselves. They also tended to show less interest in articles about older people,whether negative or positive.
But younger people preferred to read positive articles about other young people.
According to Knobloch-Westerwick,older people's preference for negative news about their younger counterparts can be explained by their place in society.
"Everybody likes a selfesteem boost. For young people though,it's almost automatic. Youth is considered important in society”，she said.
After perusing the articles,the participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure levels of selfesteem. Unlike their younger counterparts,the selfesteem of older people rose after they read a negative article about younger people.

A. They are often described as wise.
B. They are also be shown as being slow and forgetful.

The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady to us.
"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokingly replied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband,get married,have a couple of children,and then retire and travel."
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！ ”she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class to?gether and talk nonstop. I was always listening to this " time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliver her prepared speech,she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she simply said, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me!I'll never get my speech back in order to let me just tell you what I know."As we laughed she cleared her throat and began：" We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy,and achieving suc?cess. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing,you will turn twenty years old. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did,but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."
At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

C. She is considerably an old woman.
D. She is neither young nor old.
( ) 3. What can we infer from the sentence "Why are you in college at such a young age?"?
A. The writer asks frankly because he/she thinks Rose is really young.
B. The writer asks jokingly because he/she knows Rose is really an old woman.
C. The writer asks the question for sure because he/she doesn't know her real age.

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "looksay" or " wholeword" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The wholeword approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of let?ters,thinking over decoding,developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the selfdirected, "learning how to learn" activities recommended by advocates (倡导者) of "open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963,no major publisher put out anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However,in 1955,Rudolf Resch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading. In his bestseller Why Johnny Cant Read,Flesch indicted (控诉) the nation's public schools for miseducating students by using the looksay method. He said―and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed―that another approach to beginning reading,founded on phonics (语音学) ，is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds;it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words,it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences;it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
( ) 1. What does the underlined phrase " touchedoff" most probably mean?
A. Moved off. B. Set off. C. Took off. D. Droped off.
( ) 2. The author accuses the "looksay" reading approach because .
A. it overlooks decoding
B. some experts agree with him
C. it devalues the useful phonics method
D. many schools still use this method
( ) 3. The difference between the looksay method and the phonics method is .
A. looksay is only logical and natural
B. phonics is merely effective and reasonable
C. looksay is easier to teach and reliable
D. phonics gives readers access to far more words
( ) 4. According to the passage,the better way of teaching children reading is .
A. "looksay" or "wholeword" method
B. systematic phonics approach
C. " learning how to learn" activities
D. "Run-Spot-Run" method
