She’s making a strange noise.” The vet looked over the cow. "She’s certainly ill," he said, "and she needs to take some very strong medicine." He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, "Give her these. The pills should make her better." “How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.

Abuse can be defined as “to treat wrongfully or harmfully”. There are different categories of abuse that have been recognized and within our case study there appear to be two distinct forms of abuse, family abuse and child abuse. These can be subdivided into terms of physical abuse and psychological abuse. Physical abuse is the intentional physical injury or harm or deliberately not preventing harm occurring. The minimum physical signs seen in our study of James are bruises but they might feel more painful to his heart than the more serious invisible injuries. Emotional abuse is the continual failure to meet basic emotional needs. Emotional development is prevented and well-being harmed. The emotional signs in our case study can be seen in James by his actions of being withdrawn and non-communicative. The behavioural sign to abuse taking place to James is his aggressive behaviour. The short term effect of physical abuse on James is physical pain. In the long term, injuries that often happen can result in secondary illness and complications, permanent scars or even disabilities. His emotional effects in the short term are a fear of people, withdrawal, and poor relationship with others. The long term emotional effects could be low self-respect, depression, inability to form relationships. Abuse can arise for many reasons and there are a number of theoretical views which may be useful in clarifying why the abuse has taken place. The female view believes that sex and family roles give approval to a culture of abuse. Considering the historical and fixed ideas, men have power and control. In James’ case he lives in a re-constructed family with the father being rude and a heavy drinker. From a psychological angle, alcohol misuse can bring mental health problems which may increase aggression in the person and so James is more at risk from abuse by his stepfather. The relationship between the mother and James involves a dependency of James on his mother. With other problems in James’ mother’s life, this leads to increasing stress and the inability of his mother to cope with and manage a family with four children borne by two mothers. The attachment theory states that significant separations of a child from the carer in the early years can have an effect on their emotional development and can lead to psychological and social difficulties in later life. The loss of both his father and his half sister’s father with whom he lives may have contributed to his behaviour. Abusive behaviour can sometimes be the result of mental health problems, brain damage or being abused themselves. By becoming the abuser they believe they are taking control; some even believe that they are not doing anything wrong and cannot stop themselves. When working with individuals who have abused, it is important to be aware that they may go on to abuse again and there is a need to protect the community from the abuser. 小题1:Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “bruises” in Paragraph 1?A.Slight injury | B.Deep Cut | C.Body disability | D.Inner wound | 小题2:According to the writer’s case study, which of the following cases can be defined as abuse?A.A father scolds his son because he doesn’t pass the exam in school. | B.A car knocks down a woman but the driver doesn’t take her to hospital. | C.A father never talks to his daughter and shows no interest in what she does. | D.A husband is angry with his wife when she stays out late into the night. | 小题3:From the passage we can infer that ______________.A.James’ step father doesn’t show any concern for his mother | B.James’ mother gave birth to a girl in the re-constructed family | C.James’ stepfather is rude to all the children in the family | D.James’ mother loves her husband more than her own son | 小题4:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A.Categories of Abuse | B.How to Prevent Abuse | C.Abuse and Its Causes | D.Effects Caused by Abuse |

Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched. Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met. She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. As I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos. Then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me. Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of tourists faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers won’t immediately appear on the scene. For many reasons, giving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect. Everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing. 小题1:The woman beggars helped the author go across the busy street because __________.A.the author gave her material assistance | B.the author treated her kindly and friendly | C.the author would help her as a reward | D.the author was a foreigner | 小题2:From the story, what position of the beggars in the author’s mind might be?A.equal | B.superior | C.lower | D.valuable | 小题3:In common cases, people will do the following things to the beggars EXCEPT for ________.A.pretending to see nothing | B.handing out some money | C.refusing them angrily | D.greeting them normally | 小题4:According to the author, the most important things beggars really need are _________.A.mercy and pity | B.money and food | C.smile and greeting | D.attention and respect | 小题5:The purpose of the passage is to _________.A.show how poor the beggars are in Vietnam | B.offer some advice on dealing with begging | C.express what we should offer the beggars | D.describe an experience with a beggar |

Because my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one. I had seen an agency advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 36 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as 37 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 38 quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.” The simple atmosphere of the office 39 me. The woman looked carefully at me 40 through her glasses, and then 41 me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather 42 ,She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 43 . I felt even more helpless, when she told me that it would be 44 to get a job without 45 .I wondered whether I ought to leave, 46 the telephone on her desk rang, I heard her say:“ 47 , I’ve got someone in the 48 at this very moment, who might 49 .” She wrote down a 50 , and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a 51 immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.” “Oh yes,” said I — 52 having cooked for more than four in my life. I 53 her again and again, and rushed out to the 54 telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for.
