Care is the most splendid medicine to those who have ever suffered some great sorrow or painful experience. If you want to untie the knots(心结） in someone’s heart ，communicating with souls together.Please spare no effort to care about him.
I spent two years working with children with physical or mental disabilities. I devoted myself to touching their hearts softly and learned that shouting and blasting would lead to a dreadful consequence that they would get hurt more awfully and even developed a real desire to hide themselves in the darkness forever.Coming up against their behavior could only make it harder to walk into their hearts and more tough to grab their feelings.
I found something literally worked.
There was a very naughty boy in my working place, and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children
was asked to take charge of him. One day,the boy struggled into his fight against the session in the room next to mine,running around, hitting and kicking, almost destroying property. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension.The teacher, after all, burst into sobs of frustration and deep despair.
I was asked to control the circumstance.As we were talking, the boy strode in.I assured my co-worker that I'd care about him,.
I closed the door with a gentle and soft sound. Noises broke harmony, the boy was full of energy, carrying on throwing things high and low and turning the room upside down.It seemed that he would never be exhausted unless his action had to be stopped.I saw him doing this to annoy me. He needed imitate connection and Only in this way could he knew how to pray for it. Accordingly I sat back down and kept quiet.
My words couldn't calm him down but my sight could make it.
I just stared at him,stunning stars in my eyes. He began to slow down and also gazed at me in awe. I slipped into the conversation:“So what occurred？”
It was purely a simple question without any blame or anger, I assume if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed, he told me in a nearly complaining tone that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety, but ask him to do what he hated. He admitted that he had enjoyed making the poor teacher chase after and considered it as a funny game.I explained that the teacher had not seen it as a trick, and was exceedingly upset and heartbroken.
This again was stated simply as a fact
I suggested that if the next time he had a session,he talked about what he hoped to do at the beginning which might be easier for everyone to accept.He agreed and was quiet for a few seconds, he looked at me with grateful tears in his eyes before quietly and sincerely asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize in an attempt to compensate for his stupid mistake.
Such is the power of care.
4.The boy made trouble for the teacher because he ? A. was blamed for creating an air of tension.
B. was forced to lose his opportunity to do things that he desired for. C. wanted to a play a trick on the teacher. D. was accused of destroying property. 5.What do you think of the boy ? A. naughty and selfish B. Poor and optimistic

C
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military (军队的) medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet. But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals’ rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart — he earned one himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions: “Who are you? What antique shop?” However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y. “At that point, I knew she meant business,” Zac says. “To drive eight hours to come to see me.”
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure. “This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions (场合) would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands,” Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn’t understand why the medal was so significant. “But as I grew older,” Adeline says, “and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left.” Corrado Piccoli’s Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado’s medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.
8. Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself? A. In the army. B. In an antique shop. C. From his mother. D. From Adeline Rockko. 9. What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him? A. She was very impolite. B. She was serious about the medal. C. She suspected his honesty. D. She came from a wealthy family. 10. What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart? A. Her parents’ advice. B. Her knowledge of antiques. C. Her childhood dream. D. Her memory of her brother.

One evening at a busy Broadway crossroad, I noticed a sister struggling to keep her little kid under control while she talked on the pay phone. She wanted him to stay still next to her, but he wanted to run and play at the curb（路边）, close to rushing buses and taxis. One could sense the woman’s frustration（挫败）, that she was pulled in too many directions: She was angry at the person on the telephone and shouting at the younger that she would “snap（打断）his leg” if he moved again. As I waited for the traffic light to change, the child began to complain and struggle to free himself from the woman’s grip. She dropped the phone, seized the neck of his tiny T-shirt and gave him a back-hand blow across the face that I know made his little head spin.
The light changed, and passersby continued on their way. But I stood there, fixed to the pavement. I knew this extremely upset woman would follow through on her threat of violence to the child. Before, I had wanted to approach her and offer to watch the youngster while she dealt with the distressing situation on the phone. Now I wanted to comfort the little boy. I also wanted to speak to the sister to calm her and to caution her, as I wish someone had cautioned me when I was passing my pain on to my daughter and causing her emotional suffering. But I was chicken（胆小鬼）. I thought, she may think I’m out of line, or I may be her next target.
Often I’ve thought about that child and the many others abused by adults. I wonder how they will internalize (使……藏在心底) their pain, if it will crush their spirits. Will this little boy grow up to be an abusive man? Will he be gloomy and withdrawn? Will he find it hard to communicate with women, with other men? Or will he survive and be sensitive, caring and determined not to continue the cycle?
There is too much cruelty in the world, too much cruelty between people. I tremble at the increasing verbal bitterness and violence among Black girls, and among young mothers trying to discipline their children. This behavior isn’t class- or age- related: I hear sharp words from Black women from all walks of life who are overworked and stressed out and have grown impatient. At times I, too, become short with others, or, like the sister on the phone, strike out at（抨击） those closest to me.
Often we’re tired because we’ve made the wrong choices. Young girls who still need mothering are loaded with children. We, sisters easily get hurt and annoyed when we don’t compromise（妥协）with our own sense of self. Our
personal fulfillment requires knowing what is best for us, setting oar boundaries and keeping them undamaged. We will always be asked to do more than we are comfortable doing. When we know our boundaries, we can decline comfortably. People — and we ourselves — will act in ways we don’t like. But they, like us, are still worthy of love.
Whatever irritates (激怒) us about a person should be examined. Is the person reflecting behavior in us that needs to be changed? Often, when I find people irritating, I find they mirror something about me that I need to correct.
What we people of African root must do to thrive begins with love, sensitivity and our ability to work together. We Black women have these spiritual resources in abundance（充裕）. Now we must draw on them to create a peaceful place — for ourselves, our children, our men.
11. The scene the author described in the passage probably happened ________. A. in a phone booth B. on the street C. near a taxi stand D. at a bus stop 12. We can learn from the passage the mother of the little kid must be ________. A. confused and quick-minded B. cruel and talkative C. disappointed and hot-tempered D. considerate and sensitive 13. The wrong choices the author mentions in Paragraph 5 include ________. a. We sisters refuse to marry young. b. We aren’t satisfied with ourselves. c. We have our boundaries damaged. d. We decline others’ requests for help. A. a, b B. c, d C. a, d D. b, c 14. According to the author, when we find a person irritating, we should ________. A. return to tenderness and tolerance B. avoid the hard words and sharp tones C. reflect on our behavior that needs correcting D. examine if anything is wrong with him 15. The tone of the last paragraph is ________. A. critical B. optimistic C. pessimistic D. objective
