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.

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.

two little girls adopted from China two years ago, the fantasy turned out to be true。 Their new moms,
who live in minois and Florida, met on an Internet site for parents who have adopted in China. When
they realized that their daughters, now 3, had come from the same orphanage, they began comparing
photos and other information. That led to genetic tests that confirmed their suspicion :The girls are twins.
What"s more, they were both named Mia by their new parents. " It"s a miracle , " said Holly Funk , one
of the moms. " In the sea of humanity,the two kids found each other. " The girls had been abandoned on
a sidewalk in Yangzhou about a week apart. When they were reunited in Illinois two weeks ago, they
shyly eyed each other,then reached for the other"s hand. About 120, 000 kids are adopted in the United

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.
