bosses. they have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. stephen jackson, a year one student, “operates under the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine,” says his mother. “the other day i bought two new star wars light sabers (佩剑). later, i saw stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.” “examine the extended family, and youll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. its an inheritable trait,” says russell barkley, a professor at the medical university of south carolina. other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance (支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other. whether its inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isnt healthy for children or the family. “fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior,” says family psychologist john taylor. children, he says in his book from defiance to cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe”. its the parents role to provide that protection. when a “boss child” doesnt learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. the overly willful and unbending （不屈服的） child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. it can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways. “i see more and more parents giving up their power,” says barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “they bend too far because they dont want to be as strict as their own parents were. but they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”14. bossy children like stephen jackson _. a. make good decisions b. show self-centeredness c. are very considerate d. always think about other persons15. the underlined

should give more power to their children b. should be strict with their children c. should bend before their children d. should not set limits for their children17. bossy children may probably become _. a. lonely b. skillful c. relaxed d. hesitant cmy brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters wardrobe and picked out a wonderful skirt. “jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least eight or nine years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.” well, i guess this is the occasion. he took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. his hands touched the soft material for a moment, and then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day is a special occasion.” im still thinking about his words, and theyve changed my attitude to life. im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. im trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them. “someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now. i m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldnt have tomorrow. i think she would have called family members and a few close friends. she might have called
