A few years ago, I was with a close woman friend in a grocery store in California.As we walked along the aisle (过道), we saw a mother with a small boy moving in the opposite direction and met us head-on (正面的) in each aisle.The woman barely noticed us because she was so angry with her little boy, who wanted to pull items off the lower shelves.As the mother became more and more annoyed, she started to yell at the child and several aisles later had progressed to shaking him by the arm. At this point my friend spoke up.A wonderful mother of three and founder of a progressive school, she had probably never once in her life treated any child so harshly(严厉地).I expected my friend would give this woman a solid mother-to-mother talk about controlling herself and about the effect this behavior has on a child.Instead, my friend said, “What a beautiful little boy.How old is he?” The woman answered cautiously, “He’s three.” My friend went on to comment on how curious he seemed and how her own three children were just like him in the grocery store, pulling things off shelves, so interested in all the wonderful colors and packages.“He seems so bright and intelligent,” my friend said. The woman had the boy in her arms by now and a shy smile came upon her face.Gently brushing his hair out of his eyes, she said, “Yes, he’s very smart and curious, but sometimes he wears me out.” My friend responded sympathetically(表示同情地), “Yes, they can do that; they are so full of energy.” As we walked away, I heard the mother speaking kindly to the boy about getting home and cooking his dinner.“We’ll have your favorite — macaroni(通心面) and cheese,” she told him. 小题1:The mother was angry with her baby because .A.the mother was very tired | B.the baby asked for more things | C.the baby ran madly in the store | D.the baby was pulling the goods off the shelves | 小题2:We can learn from the passage that the author’s friend .A.treated her children well only | B.was probably good to any child | C.liked the boy very much | D.always wanted to help others | 小题3:The author’s friend talked with the mother in that way to .A.show her sympathy for the woman | B.know something about the boy first | C.show her anger with the woman | D.make the woman realize children’s natural quality | 小题4:With the story, the author most probably intends to tell us that .A.we should respect a child’s nature | B.we should never blame a child | C.mothers usually share the same interest | D.mothers should try to be gentle and polite |
