There's a time to get angry,and it's best for your child if you do.Let's say your childhit a playmate with a toy-hard enough to make the other child cry.How can you teachyour child to feel sorry so he or she won't do it again?Researchers say the best way forParents to react(反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why theyare mad.

Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they'recalm before scolding their children.But the mother or father who explains reasonably to achild,"Peter was crying because you hit him."is not likely to attract much attention.Young children need to be scolded immediately,and strongly,before they'll take criticism（批评）to heart.

When your young child does something wrong,scold him or her seriously at once.Atthe 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 outsideor not allowing him to watch TVas a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation,Make certain your child understands that although his or herwrongdoing has made you angry,you still love him or her.Use simple,direct words suchas,"You hurt Peter.How would you feel if he hit you?You must never,never hurt people."If your voice expresses strong feelings clearly,your message will carry enoughweight.3.What could be the best title for the text?（）

Ideas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such as America and Australia,for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only ma short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have

friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.

On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.

To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a

passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer.

Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have " universalist'' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.What is the main idea of this passage?

16.Some people are___（friendly)to birds.They throw stones to them.
