　　On my way home from work one day in 1994，I stopped at a supermarket for shopping.I was behind two customers.The person checking out was a young mother with her little girl.As the clerk was scanning(扫描)the things she had chosen，the young lady was carefully counting her money,worried.After the last thing was scanned，the clerk told the young mother the total.

　　The young mother’s expression turned to embarrassment(尴尬)as she realized she did not have enough money.She started to see which things to put back，and nervously looked behind her,knowing she was holding up the line.I was smiling and trying to look sympathetic(同情)—I had been in situations where I did not have enough money plenty of times myself.Finally,the young mother gave something back to the clerk，and asked for a new total.

　　At that moment，the woman in front of me asked the clerk to wait a moment.She took out$5 and handed it to the clerk to pay what the young mother was short of.When the clerk tried to give the woman the fifty cents change，she pointed to the little girl and told the clerk to give it to her.The little girl smiled and ran to one of the machines to spend the money.Naturally,the young mother was thankful and said so.The woman smiled and told her she was welcome.

　　I will never forget the look on that little girl’s face—not when she was given the money,but when she realized that a perfect stranger cared enough to help them.From the way she looked at the woman，you could tell that she learned something valuable that day：Some people do care.

　　That woman taught me several things with that one little deed.There are many situations in which we can help other people.It doesn’t take much money.A few dollars to someone like me was something quite different to that mother.

　　第44题Why was the young mother carefully counting her money?

　　A. To know how much would be left after payment.

　　C. She was afraid that she didnt have enough.

　　There’s a time to get angry,and it’s best for your child if you do.Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy—hard enough to make the other child cry.How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again?Researchers say the best way for parents to react(反应)is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.

　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children.But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child，“Peter was crying because you hit him，”is not likely to attract much attention.Young children need to be scolded immediately,and strongly,before they’ll take criticism(批评)to heart.

　　When your young child does something wrong，scold him or her seriously at once.At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong.An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good.Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well—but only when taken together with an explanation.Make certain your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry,you still love him or her.Use simple，direct words such as，“You hurt Peter.How would you feel if he hit you?You must never,never hurt people.”If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly,your message will carry enough weight.

　　第48题According to researchers，how should parents react when their child did something wrong?

　　A. Ask the child not to do it again any time.

　　B. Let the child know what exactly happened.

　　C. Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.

　　D. Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.

　　【正确答案】D

　　第49题What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?

　　A. Speak strongly and angrily to him.

　　B. Hide their feelings when talking to him.

　　C. Explain immediately why he was wrong.

　　D. Calm themselves down before scolding him.

　　【正确答案】D

　　第50题What could be the best title for the text?

　　A. Best Ways to Stop Childrens Wrongdoings

　　B. Differences among Parents in Dealing with Children

　　C. Different Ways to Deal with Childrens Wrongdoings

　　D. Research on Preventing Children from Hurting Others

　　【正确答案】A
