解析

作者小时候看见其他小朋友在地上耍赖撒泼达到自己的目的，于是她也效仿，谁知妈妈的一招一下子就制服了她。是什么办法这么有效呢？这次的经历给作者留下刻骨铭心的教训，那教训比身上挨打更有效。
小题1:. D。从语境可知，这里表示“我”在托儿所“观察”整个事情的经过，看这个女孩如何通过耍赖撒泼达到自己的目的。
小题1:. A。这里表示家长到托儿所接孩子回家。
小题1:. B。语境表示这个女孩没有达到自己的要求，马上就一屁股坐在地上，踢着脚嚷了起来。这里用动词drop表示“忽然倒下/坐下”。
小题1:. C。本题在句中作主句的主语，表示试过许多办法但没有任何办法能让这个女孩停止哭泣。
小题1:. D。下面一句与本句构成递进关系：说我对此觉得惊讶不确切，我暗自觉得高兴。
小题1:. C。看来以后我想要什么东西的时候就可以如法炮制了。
小题1:. B。妈妈提前到了托儿所来接我，因为我们要去买圣诞物品。
小题1:. A。从语境可知故事发生在儿童玩具柜台前，因此选A，母女从玩具销售区穿过的时候。
小题1:. D。把绳子一拉，这个玩具电话会发出电话的响声。这里用ring表示电话“响了”。
小题1:. A。我抬头看着母亲，对她提出我的要求。
小题1:. B。本题用动词insist表示“一定要，坚决要求”。
小题1:. C。我在那里耍横，非要买这个玩具，此时妈妈皱着眉头，紧紧地拉着我的手，要把我从这个区域拉走。
小题1:. D。注意作者的猜测与语气：到了玩具柜台，现在是机不可失，时不再来，如果现在不买到手，那么以后就永远甭想说服妈妈给我买这部电话机了。
小题1:. A。本题只有通过下文才能做出判断。从下文看，母亲管教我的方式很特别，她没有勃然大怒地打骂我，而是非常冷静。
小题1:. D。母亲在威胁我，“等我数到三的时候你最好给我站起来，否则的话”。因此本题选D表示“否则，要不然”。
小题1:. A。母亲的警告没有一丁点作用，于是她做出一个惊人的举动：她也一下子躺在地上，开始踢着脚叫了起来。
小题1:. A。从下文可知，妈妈的这一举动把我给吓住了，我赶紧从地上爬起来，哀求妈妈别这样。
小题1:. B。我脸上还挂着泪珠劝妈妈站起来。
小题1:. D。这里用短语brush off表示“刷掉，拂去”：妈妈站起来，拍掉身上的灰尘。
小题1:. C。从此我再也不敢这样做了，因为这件事给我留下刻骨铭心的教训，那教训比身上的疤痕还更有效

St James’s Palace has announced that while Miss Middleton will wear a wedding ring．Prince William has chosen not to．
Rings are typically exchanged by couples during their wedding to represent commitment （承诺）to each other．Does it matter if husbands don’t wear a wedding ring?
Prince William’s father wears one, his grandfather doesn’t and their decisions weren’t seen as strange．But reactions to Prince William’s decision show that wedding rings for husbands are now the norm．One young man, who spoke to the BBC, thinks William is setting a bad example, saying: "I think it’s disgraceful （不光彩的）．It’s a tradition．You have to wear a ring really．And for someone of the royal family to do that, it’s not right．"

Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten (咬) by snakes, “ It was seeing people with snake bites (伤口) that led me to this career,” he said.
In 1963, after his army service, Shu entered a medical school and later became a doctor of Chinese medicine. As part of his studies he had to work in the mountains. There he often heard of people who had their arms and legs cut off after a snake bite in order to save their lives.
