researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until theyre calm before scolding their children. but the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before theyll take criticism （批评）to heart.when your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. at the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. an angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch tv as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. use simple, direct words such as, “you hurt peter. how would you feel if he hit you? you must never, never hurt people.” if your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.9according to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?aask the child not to do it again any time.bshow the child how angry they are and tell him why.cteach the child why and how to say sorry to others.dlet the child know you still love hime or her.10what do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?acalm themselves down before scolding him.bhide their feelings when talking to him.cexplain immediately why he was wrong.dspeak strongly and angrily to him.11what could be the best title for the text?adifferent ways to deal with childrens wrongdoingsbdifferences among parents in dealing with childrencbest ways to stop childrens wrongdoings dresearch on preventing children from hurting others911、b a c *结束广告应用型阅读理解(一)the earth centreyou might have heard about the centre of the earth but have you heard of the earth centre?

ain america a selfcleaning paint was modeled on the lotus flower. bzimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems. cafter the boxfish，many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature. dnature is a good source to turn to for improving technology.()7.the clumsylooking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons except that_. ait swims using little energy bbeing boxy, it looks quite like a car csome engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water dit is a speedy swimmer()8.why did top engineers in germany go to the natural history museum? athey wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely. bthey wanted to carry out a research of boxfish and dolphins. cthey wanted to search for a model to base on for building a moreefficient c
