Many parents find that their children act very mean to their friends. They wonder what they can do about this behavior without squashing their spirit. Here is what parenting experts explain and suggest:

Pre-schoolers have no idea how others feel. They are in the process of understanding their own feelings and have not yet developed “emotional intelligence”. Children of this age also do things just because it can make them feel powerful when they are able to make others respond.

Here are some things you can do to reduce the mean talk: When the child’s in a good mood, look her in the eyes and lovingly tell her how you feel when she speaks in a mean way to another child. Have a look of disappointment on your face and role-play with her to show her the behavior you would like to see. Then, every time you see her demonstrating the “nice” interaction with others, stop what you’re doing, give her eyes contact and make a big deal out of it. Young children need to know what good behavior looks like with regular encouragement. When you catch her being mean to a child, get down on your knees next to her, and, with your arm around her, face the child that is receiving her meanness, and apologize to the child for both of you, then walk away. As soon as the other child is away, let your daughter know how disappointed you are in her behavior and quickly let it go.

Parents should set up a consequence when this negative behavior occurs. You can give these other ideas a try first. If you’re not seeing any results after a few times, then go ahead and set up the consequence（such as not being able to play with that child). Avoid using “time out” because it doesn’t work. It gives the child too much power and too much attention. The most effective consequences are those that are directly tied to the behavior. If she is being mean to children, then the play session ends. And most importantly, set up this consequence in advance when the negative behavior is NOT occurring.

If you should catch her being a “bully” to another child, and she has somehow hurt him or her, immediately put all your attention on the victim, not her. Don’t scold or punish your daughter. Softly, gently, and immediately, nurture the hurt child and get your daughter to assist you in the nurturing. When things have calmed down, let her know face to face how disappointed you are in her behavior, not her as a child.

65. When a child talks mean to his friend, the best way to correct it is to___________.

A. tell him directly that it is a wrong doing

B. demonstrate what a good behavior is

C. make him apologize to his friend

D. ask his friend not to play with him anymore

66. The underlined phrase “make a big deal out of it ” in paragraph 2 probably

Means_____________.

A. show some disappointment B. say a few words of praise

C. exchange gifts with the child      D. present a surprised look

67. When dealing with a child’s mean action, you shouldn’t___________.

A. punish her in the presence of her friend.

B. put on a disappointed look on your face

C. tell her that you are unhappy to see that

D. nurture the hurt child immediately

68. The passage is mainly about how to___________

A. bring up children

B. solve pre-school children’s problems

C. help children make friends

D. guide children when bad behaviors occur

My parents knew their wealth: each other, their six children, and their faith. They tried to live simple lives so that they could have time for what was most important.

They didn’t busy themselves buying a bigger house, because that would mean working harder to pay the monthly mortgage(按揭贷款), working overtime or taking a second job. Who would go running with me then? Who would read stories to me?

They didn’t burden themselves with buying an expensive car because that would mean worrying about installment(分期付款) bills. Besides, walking to the shopping centre every Saturday afternoon with me gave my dad his needed exercise, and made me feel so special.

One of my heart’s delights was seeing Dad and Mom in their bedroom at night, after our nightly family prayer. The lights were turned off, and I’d see the figure of my father seated on his old chair and Mom standing behind him, gently massaging his shoulders. I’d hear them talk about what happened during their day. Even as a child, I sensed their quiet pleasure in being together.

My question today: Could they have done this rich practice each night and nourished(滋润) their marriage if they had been busy paying for expensive clothes for themselves or their kids, or if they had been worrying about monthly bills for new hi-tech equipment? I don’t think so. And I’ve made a choice: I don’t want that of life either.

More parents are looking to cellphones to help keep their children safe.  But mom and dad should be careful: Kids who talk on a cellphone may be more likely to step into traffic. Children should learn to end phone conversations before they prepare to step into traffic.

While research shows that older kids and more experienced users also don’t navigate(穿行于) streets as well while on a cellphone, younger children tends to find the small tools more distracting(令人分心的).

“Kids of this age are just learning to cross the street on their own, ”says David-Schwebel, a co-author of the study. “They’re beginners. ”

Kids don’t need to be stopped from chatting on the phone when outside,

however. Instead, parents simply should instruct them to finish their conversations before crossing the street.

“I don’t think this means parents should take phones away from their kids, ”says Schwebel. “I encourage families to get cellphones for their children.  They’re more helpful than harmful,  if they’re used in a safe way. ”

Other distractions, such as conversations with friends, listening to music,  and text messaging, may also cause problems for children in this age group.  The researchers expect to study the effect of those types of distractions in the future.

Experts in child safety approved the cellphone study. “If you’re talking on a cellphone,  you’re not paying much attention to the environment around you, ” says Susan Baker, a professor.

Brooke Carlson, a 44-year-old mom, has noticed how riveted her 9-year-old son is when he’s talking on the cellphone. Although she’d never thought of the dangers of crossing traffic while on the phone, Carlson says, “Now that I know about it, it makes total sense. ”She plans to have a chat with her child about cellphones and street safety.

For younger kids, parents might consider purchasing a phone with a plan that only allows the child to call up his or her parents. That way the cellphone can be used for emergencies, but not for chatting with friends for hours.

1.In Schwebel’s opinion, _____ .

A. kids are still too young to walk on the street alone

B. kids don’t know how to use cellphones appropriately

C. kids have little experience in crossing the street alone

D. kids are not experienced cellphone users

2. Which of the following is Schwebel in favor of?

A. Children shouldn’t be allowed to have a cellphone.

B. Children should be forbidden to chat on the phone when outside.

C. Cellphones do more harm to children than other distractions.

D. Parents should teach kids about cellphones and street safety.

3. The underlined word “riveted” may mean“_____”.

A. confused              B. absorbed

C. dangerous             D. excited

4. According to the passage, what does Mrs Carlson know?

A. There are dangers of crossing streets while on the phone.

B. Her 9-year-old son is not interested in talking on the phone.

C. Cellphones are more helpful than harmful to children.

D. Kids don’t pay attention to the environment when talking on the phone.

5. The purpose of writing this passage is to _____.

A. advise parents not to buy cellphones for children

B. introduce a phone that only allows kids to call up parents

C. expect kids not to talk on cellphones while on the street

D. expect people to use cellphones less in daily life
