15、d to be careful. If you say, “Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesnt matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “Im going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.” If a boy is having trou

16、ble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by

17、 showing that he values that child.

18、to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super” .When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

23、 I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart. Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he'

24、;s an old guy! For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “How's it going?” But he did something differenthe actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief convers

25、ation. I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone wo

26、uld reply, “Have a great day!” But that wasn't the end. He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-by

27、e.” The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture-and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling. Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Mar

28、ty. Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guys body. I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.31The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because_ .Athe cashier couldnt work as fast as others Bthere we

Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days thats more than an

33、academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story. There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scient

34、ist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer（老年癡呆癥）. “If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, throu

35、gh which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist. “Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” “Thats right. If you ever worried you were at risk for

36、 Alzheimers disease, then every time you cant find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.” Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimers. It was thought that people who

37、 got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the informatio

38、n usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.36.

41、good news B. tend to find out the truthC. can accept some bad news D. have the right to be informedD Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（話匣子）to take the term “handsfree” to a new levelby talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a

42、pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.

43、utdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承擔(dān)）the project.

44、esone in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile h

45、andsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras. Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get

46、people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.” Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “Theres a pr

47、essing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year.
