| Kathy started at my nursery school at the age of three. She settled into the group easily, and would be first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame. She could put on her coat withouthelp and not only fasten her own buttons but other children's too. She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher. If anyone upset her or stood in her way,her right hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates. Children twice her age would fly in fear from her. This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped. All the usual ways failed and then I remembered an account by G Atkinson of Highfield School,of how fights in the playgroud had been stopped. No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims rewarded. So I decided to try this out on Kathy. With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around. She was so quick that it was impossible to prevent her scratching, but I was determined to stay within arm's length all afternoon. All was peaceful but then I saw Kathy's hand moved and heard the scream. Gently I gathered up the little hurt one in my arms and said" Nice , nice sweetie" and I put a Smartie into her mouth. Kathy opened her mouth, expecting a Smartie and then looked puzzled when she got nothing. Soon came another scream , this time from John. While holding him in my arms , I said , " Look , Kathy , a nice Smartie for John" and put it into John's mouth. A smile of understanding flashed across Kathy's face. Minutes later,she came to me and said loudly, " Give me a Smartie! I have hurt my finger ! " " No , " I replied , " you'll get it if someone hurts you." On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy, Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and rewarded him , then she walked away.She has never scratched a child since. Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting and punishment by rewarding and giving more attention to the injured ones. It's certainly much easier and more effective. |

| More than 10 years ago ,it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and , more often than not,hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1996 , the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves. The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world's best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple. In nutrition it was all good news too.This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins , but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast , and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte's attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market. |

| As the United States continues to argue over the future of the illegal immigrants traveling across its borders ,I went on a joumey to discover what hardships people crossing the border from Tijuana, Mexico must face. I worked at a soup kitchen, where I came into contact with many poor citizens who had recently arrived in Tijuana. One of the people I served was a Guatemalan named Juan , who washed cars for low pay in the US. After we spoke for 10 minutes,Juan introduced me to his girlfriend,a local stripper who offered to give me a free lap dance if I ever decided to visit the club across the street.

I feel bad for not learning his name before I left. Returning to my country on the final day of my trip awakened a strange feeling inside me. I went on this trip with an open mind and heart and was given the chance to communicate with so many different people that I wouldn't have met in my everyday life. I felt guilty for taking so many things for granted, while people a few hundred miles away are already satisfied with the simpler things that they have. |

| Even facts " forgotten" by people during a busy day may beretrieved if this is followed by a good night's sleep. Researchers from the University of Chicago asked volunteers to remember simple words. Many found their memories letting them down towards the end of the day, but the following morning, those who had slept well could recall much more. Reserchers , writing in the journal Nature .said the brain coud " rescue"lost memories during the night.When the brain is first asked to remember something that memory is laid down in an " unstable " state, meaning that it is possible that it could be lost. At some point, the brain consolidates those it deems important into a "stable" , more permanent state. However, the Chicago researchers suggested that it was possible for a " stable" memory to be made " unstable" agan.This would mean that memories could be modified then filed away again in the face of new experiences. The 12 volunteers tested in the experiment were played words created through a speech synthesizer which were purposely difficult to understand. Initially, the written version of the word was available,but after wards the volunteers were asked to identify the word from the audio version only. Tests revealed that the ability to recall the right word tended to tail off as the day ended. However,when the volunteers were retested after a good night's sleep,they were able to recall some words that they had"forgotten" the previous evening. Dr Daniel, one of the study authors, said : " Sleep consolidates memories , protecting them against subsequent interference or decay. Sleep also appears to "recover" or restore memories. " He said : " If performance is reduced by decay , sleep might actively recover what has been lost. " Dr Karim Nader, from the Department of Psychology in McGill University in Montreal, said: " Memory research is undergoing a transformation-no longer is memory thought to be a hard-wiring of' the brain , instead it seems to be a process of storage and restorage. " Sleep helps some memories " mature" and also prunes out unimportant memories.. |

| A. is a hard-wiring of the brain B. is not a process of storage C. is not a process of restorage D. will be mature with the help of sleep |

| Almost every body in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart (购物手车) . They will , in a lifetime , push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging (吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers , and would help to attract more business.On June 4,1937 , Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of the day as customers began arriving.He couldn't wait to seethem using his invention.But Goldmanwas disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look , but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while. Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. " Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?" one shopper replied.But Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的) customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come-those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets , customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping cart. |
