        Kathy started at my nursery school at the age of three. She settled into the group easily, and would
be first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame. She could put on her coat withouthelp and not only
fasten her own buttons but other children's too.
       She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher. If anyone upset her or stood in her way,her right hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates. Children twice her age would fly in
fear from her.
      This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped. All the usual ways
failed and then I remembered an account by G Atkinson of Highfield School,of how fights in the playgroud had been stopped. No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims
rewarded. So I decided to try this out on Kathy.
      With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around. She was so quick that it was impossible to
prevent her scratching, but I was determined to stay within arm's length all afternoon. All was peaceful but
then I saw Kathy's hand moved and heard the scream. Gently I gathered up the little hurt one in my arms
and said" Nice , nice  sweetie" and  I  put a  Smartie  into  her mouth. Kathy opened her mouth, expecting a Smartie and then looked puzzled when she got nothing.     Soon came another scream , this  time from
John. While  holding him in my arms , I  said , " Look , Kathy , a nice  Smartie for John" and put it into
John's mouth.
      A smile of understanding flashed across Kathy's face. Minutes later,she came to me and said loudly,
" Give me a Smartie!  I have hurt my finger ! "     " No , " I  replied , " you'll  get it  if someone  hurts you."
     On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy, Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and
rewarded him , then she walked away.She has never scratched a child since.
Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting and punishment by rewarding and giving more attention to the injured ones. It's certainly much easier and more effective.

1. From the passage , we know that Kathy is _____________.

A. sensitive but slow
B. smart but a bit rude
C. independent but selfish
D. quick but sort of passive

2. Kathy scratched Tom because___________.

A. she was angry at Tom,who was in her way
B. she wanted to get a Smartie from the teacher
C. she was in the habit of scratching other children
D. she wanted to know if the teacher meant what she had said

3. According to the passage, the underlined word " bullying" is closest in meaning to"_________ ".

A. helping
B. punishing
C. hurting
D. protecting

4. The writer of this passage aims to recommend an approach to__________.

A. rewarding children's good behavior
B. correcting children's bad behavior
C. punishing badly-behaved children
D. praising well-behaved children

1~4.B D C B

     The day my boyfriend fell to his death,it started to snow,just like any November day,just like the
bottom hadn't fallen out of my world when he freefell off the roof. His body. when I found it,was lightly
covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months,while I sat on the couch and
watched it pile up. One morning,I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow clearing
my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk. I dropped to my knees,crawled
through the living room. and back upstairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed.
My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn't have the strength to brush my hair let alone
shovel someone's walk.
     Before Jon's death,I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors. I defined myself by
my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy?How could I
respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snow fall?
     Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wash't easy. Friends cooked for
me and 1 cried because I eouldn't even help them set the table. "I'm not usually this lazy," I wept. Finally,
my friend Kathy sat down with me and said,"Mary,cooking for you is not a chore. I love you and I want
to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you. "
     Over and over,I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days.
One very wise man told me,"You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the
hardest work you will ever do. "
     I am not the person I once wfls,but in many ways I have changed for the better. The fabric of my life
is now woven with gratitude and humility. I have been surprised to. learn that there is incredible freedom
that comes from facing one's worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength in surrender.
