Tom liked to make up stories about the giants...

Tom liked to make up stories about the giants that threatened(威胁)the peace of his own land ,but he knew that the real giant in his life was Janice. Of course, it wasn't only Tom and his best friend John that Janice was after. She had two friends, Wilma and Bobby, who were almost as big as she was,and the three of them would wander around the playground, grabbing up rocks, running through jump ropes, and laughing while second graders screamed. They would even stand outside the girls' room every morning and make the little girls give them their milk money before they'd let them go to the bathroom.

Belle, Johns little sister, unfortunately, was a slow learner. Her daddy had brought her a package of Twinkies, and she was so proud that as soon as she got on the school bus, she forgot every-thing she knew and yelled to another first grader, "Guess what I got in my lunch today, Billy?”

“What?”

“Twinkies!”she shouted so loud that you could have heard her in the back seat even if you were deaf in both ears. Out of the corner of his eye, John thought he saw Janice brighten up.

When they sat down, Belle was still talking about her Twinkies loudly. "My daddy brought them to me from Washington.”

John threw another look at the back seat. “You better shut up about those Twinkies”he said in her ear. “You just jealous(嫉妒的) because Daddy did bring you none.” “OK.” He turned to Tom to say, “warned her,didn’t I ? and Tom nodded back.

Neither of them was too surprised to see Belle come screaming toward them at rest time. “She stole my Twinkies!”John sighed. “Belle, didn't I tell you?”

Dear Dani,

My friend makes up stories about things she has done all the time and other people at school believe her. What should I do?

Anna

Dani says:

Often people make things up because they’re worried that they are not interesting. So let your friend know that she doesn’t need stories to make friends or impress (给……留下深刻印象) others. Point out that when others discover the truth, they won’t be impressed at all.

Dear Dani,

I have two best friends and they’re always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything. What can I do?

Tom

Dani says:

Groups of three can be very difficult because one person often gets left out. Your friends may not realize how you feel. Talk to them about this and agree to plan the next outing together. With a bit of effort, a group of three can be a wonderful friendship!

Dear Dani,

I told my friend a secret, but then I found out she told it to somebody else. What can I do?

Daisy

Dani says:

We all make mistakes so give your friend another chance. But tell her that your secret is important to you and that she must not do this again. If your friend finds it hard to keep a secret, be careful what you tell her in future.

Dear Dani,

I’m friends with a boy, but some girls keep laughing at me about it. Can’t girls be friends with boys as well?

Mary

Dani says:

Of course girls can be friends with boys. Some girls laugh at this because they don’t really know any boys. Carry on enjoying your friendship. If the girls got to know this boy, they might stop teasing you. Why not invite one or two of them along next time you meet him?

I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed. Our dog, whom we loved very much, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.

I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and suddenly, I thought of my dog bit my father 20 years ago. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal(背叛，辜负).

Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. Much the same for the other story when I learned my friend’s wife had just left him.

We all have different opinions and feelings. And all of those can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by other people,because they are not in the same situation with you.

If you meet someone who acts in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient. You may turn around a story by your actions.

1.What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A.It hurt his father’s feeling deeply.

B.It has puzzled the author ever since.

C.It left a deep impression on the author.

D.It made the author dislike dogs.

2.Why did the author’s friend say harsh words to the author?

A.He was ill-tempered.

B.He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.

C.He was bothered by an unexpected visit.

D.They once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author.

3.What’s the author’s advice to us?

A.Help those in need.

B.Look before you leap.

C.Respect for others is a kind of virtue.

D.Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes.
