While others may think of Florida, we dream of a cabin vacation in New Yorks Allegany State Park.One particular trip, I recall, was jus a bit more memorable than the rest. What we now refer to as the snow pants incident began accidentally enough. My husband, Bernie, and our 2-year-old daughter, Faith, were building a snow fort while I sledded down a nearby slope.On the way back up from one trip, I saw a small stone tumbling down the track I had just made. I was puzzled, since all the other rocks were buried under several feet of snow, as I stood and wondered about the stone-it jumped! This was no stone. This was a mouse.Now, Ilove nature, but that doesnt include mice. Iloudly protested the invader, and Bernie, coming to my rescue, assured me that this was not a mouse but a mole, as if that mattered. A mouse or a mole I still didnt like it.Bernie and I stood for a few minutes watching the creature disappear from the path into the furry white and come back out again. But soon it disappeared and I headed up the hill again.Shortly after I left, my husband screamed out, saying that the mole had gone up the leg of his snow pants. You have to understand Bernie can be quite a joker, and I smelled a rat. Not wanting to be a sucker and fall for another one of his jokes, I laughed it off. When he started running for the cabin, though, I stopped laughing and decided maybe this was for real.“Dont you dare take that thing into the house!”I yelled. But like a flash, Bernie was already dashing through the cabins front door, with his snow pants, the mole and all. If it were me, Id have been down to my long underwear right there in the snow without a second thought.A few minutes later Bernie appeared. We relished the rest of our winter vacation, drinking lots of hot chocolate, sitting beside the fireplace and admiring nature-from a safe distance.28.

What could be the best title of the text?A. A Memorable Experience with a JokerB. The Painful Incident in Allegany State ParkC. Familys Funny Vacation in the SnowD. My Strong Love for NatureDGrowing up can sometimes seem like a roller coaster. There are ups and downs and unexpected turns. Abuse or neglect by can adult can make the ride even rougher. But being bullied(欺凌)by another child can leaveespecially lasting scars. Thats the finding of a new study.Bullied kids face a high risk of mental health problemsas teens and as young adults. Indeed bullied kids might be worseoff than those who had suffered physical abuse or neglect, the study found.Dieter Wolke works at the University of Warwick inEngland. Until recently, most studies of child victims focused not on bullyingbut on maltreatment, this psychologist says. Maltreatment includes physical oremotional abuse, neglect or other behaviors that can harm a child.Wolkes team wanted to better understand how bullyingslong-term effects compare to those due to maltreatment. They focused on 4,026children in the United Kingdom and 1,420 more in the United States. Informationabout bullying and maltreatment was collected for American children to age 13.They collected the same information for British youth up to age 16. Theresearchers also gathered data on each individuals mental health as a youngadult.Among the Americans, 36 percent of bullied kids hadmental problems later. Those problems included anxiety, which is a state ofexcessive worry. They also included depression. That is a feeling ofhopelessness that can last a long time. Among kids who had been maltreated byadults, 17 percent later suffered mental health problems.That was less than half the rate seen in people who had been bullied as school kids.In the U. K. group, the difference was less spectacular. Roughly 25 percent of the bullied kids reported mental health problems later, compared with about 17 percent who had been maltreated.But however you look at it, the finding are disturbing, Wolke says. They show that bullied children have similar or worse mental health problems later in life. And thats why he says schools, health services and other agencies must work together to end bullying.32.

Taking good care of children B. Joining hands to stop bullyingC. Keeping psychologically healthy D.

List your options (选择). It may appear that there is only one course of action, but that is not necessarily true. No matter how limited your situation seems, try to make a list of options. Brainstorm, and write down every idea that comes to your mind, as crazy as it may seem. You can always cross it off the list later, but crazy ideas can bring creative solutions. Once you have your list, ask others for suggestions. _37_ Weigh the possible results. For every option, list every possible result, and label it as positive or negative. _38_ You can put a plus sign next to each positive result and a minus sign next to each negative one. Give two pluses or minuses to the best and the worst. _39_ This is the hardest step, but there will hopefully be a decision on your list that is supported by both logic and intuition (直觉). If you still cant decide, ask for advice from people you trust. If need be, let them be the tie-breakersits better than flipping (掷) a coin. Once you have made a decision, carry it out wholeheartedly. At this stage, dont let yourself be confused by thinking about all the choices you didnt pick.In the end, remember to evaluate your decision afterward._40_ By drawing wisdom from every decision you make, you can ensure that every choice has at least one positive result.A.
