问题 Until a few years ago most experts believed that young children couldn’t lie The late developmental psychologist Jean Piaget believed that children under 7 had trouble distinguishing between fantasy and reality and couldn’t be held accountable for untruths．But recent research indicates that children as young as 4 are quite capable of telling a deliberate lie to get out of trouble Researchers believe the fear of a parent’s disapproval discourages a very young child from lying．But by the age of 8，disapproval is not enough．A child should understand the consequences of the lie and the ways in which it destroys trust．
    A child who lies a lot may be asking for help．Recent research suggests that kids who are being treated for psychological problems lie almost three times as much as well—adjusted kids．A study in England in the early 1 970s showed that one third of the children identified as chronic liars by their parents ended up being convicted of theft later on．Other studies indicate that children who have manipulative personalities are skilled at telling lies to get what they want．Two decades ago researchers devised a morality test called a Mach scale They found that kids who scored high in Mach chayacteristics—cynicism，often lied to achieve their goals．
    How should honesty be taught?It seems that harsh punishment，thought by many parents to discourage lying，may actually increase it．“It creates a fear of punishment，rather than an internalized belief in moral behavior，”psychologist Paul Ekman says．To help a child realize the damage lying does．a parent might use tales like“The Boy Who Cried Wolf”for younger children and draw object lessons from the news，as the kids grow older．
  Just because parents learn why lies Occur doesn’t mean they should accept them．Psychologistsencourage parents to expect their children to be truthful．Ekman counsels parents to set a good example，avoiding even white lies as much as possible，and to stress the family’S bond of trust．He also reminds parents that they must remain compassionate“A terrible act，a desperate lie to concealit，needs to be punished，”he writes．“But it also needs to be forgiven．”
For children，harsh punishment can________．
选项 A、effectively discourage lying
B、discourage lying to a certain extent
C、discourage lying only in vain
D、actually strengthen lying
答案C
解析 句题为：严厉的惩罚对儿童的效果怎样。根据文中第三段的叙述，harsh punish ment“may actually increase it”以及“It creates a fear of punishment”，我们可以推断harsh punishment在对付lying方面是无效的，甚至可能起到反作用。故选项C正确。而选项D只是一种可能情况，并不是绝对的。
