One day at the day care centre（日间托儿所）I watched a mother try to pick up her daughter. The girl wanted to go to McDonald’s. The mother replied, “Susie, not tonight. Maybe we can go tomorrow.”. Susie 16 dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming. “I want to …” Her mother tried to 17 Susie’s tantrum（发脾气）. Finally her mother 18 . I was surprised that we could have almost anything we wanted by throwing a tantrum. That day my mother 19 me up early because we were going to a department to do the shopping for 20 Day. I was excited to see a toy telephone. Looking lovingly 21 at my mother, I asked, “Can I have that telephone?” She replied, “Baby, not now, but 22 you are a good girl, maybe Santa Clause will 23 you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now,” I said. My mother’s eyes 24 and her hand tightened（紧握）on mine. “Becky, you 25 have that telephone today, and if you 26 you can have a spanking（打屁股）.” We were standing in the long 27 ,and I knew from my experience that it was now or 28 . So I lay down on the ground and began screaming, “I want that telephone.” Tired Christmas 29 looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky, you’d better get up by the 30 of three or else.” “One…Two…Three.” But I was 31 in full tantrum. Then she lay down beside me on the   32 and began screaming, “I want a new car, I want some jewellery, I want…” 33 , I stood up. “Mama, stop, Mama, get up,” I tearfully 34 . She stood up. The others waiting began to laugh. The next thirty minutes was complete 35 for me. Then one parent said to me with a smile, “I bet you’ll never try that again”. 小题1: A．heavily B．immediately C．directly D．hopelessly 小题2: A．cover B．free C．resist D．stop 小题3: A．gave in B．gave off C．gave out D．gave up 小题4: A．carried B．picked C．held D．sent 小题5: A．Mother’s B．Children’s C．Christmas D．National 小题6: A．down B．up C．over D．out 小题7: A．if B．unless C．until D．while 小题8: A．praise B．believe C．love D．help 小题9: A．opened B．closed C．narrowed D．shone 小题10: A．won’t B．daren’t C．mustn’t D．can’t 小题11: A．lie B．risk C．scream D．steal 小题12: A．line B．street C．row D．passage 小题13: A．never B．ever C．later D．then 小题14: A．managers B．sellers C．families D．shoppers 小题15: A．noise B．count C．voice D．word 小题16: A．again B．even C．still D．more 小题17: A．bench B．mat C．counter D．floor 小题18: A．Frightened B．Satisfied C．Embarrassed D．Amused 小题19: A．begged B．resigned C．explained D．promised 小题20: A．luck B．discomfort C．complaint D．anger
