18．Over the holidays，I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy gifts．Halfway home，I noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic noisemaker．Long story short：He had stolen the toy．I kept my cool--even when he said，"but it was only﹩1.50，Mom!"--and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didn't buy．
A few hours later，I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his piggy bank．He walked embarrassedly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without paying for it，that he was sorry to break it and that he would pay for it now．
I know exactly how terrible he was feeling．Returning to the scene of the crime is the same shame-causing punishment I received when I was five and stole something from a store.1remember my dad sending me back to return the item．It remains one of my clearest child-hood memories．After that day，I never stole again．My dad taught me such an important lesson 30years ago and I saw an opportunity to do the same for my son．But now I wonder if it was the fight thing to do．
"Returning to the store is absolutely the right thing to do，"Laura Markham，Ph．D．，a child psychologist and author of Peaceful Parent，Happy Kids，says．"Many children steal--they're not born knowing the rules so it's our job to teach them．"
And stay calm when you set them．"If you overreact or yell，you might create a fascination with the behavior and a willful child will be more likely to fight against you，"she says．Having a child physically return the stolen item helps him or her grasp the situation--and the consequence．
But don't talk about it for too long．"lf you continuously bring up the incident，the child will believe they're a thief and that they're bad，"she says．
Only time will tell if this experience will have the same powerful effect on my son as it had on me，but at the same time I can rest if I haven't dealt with the situation badly．

分析 我的兒子偷拿了店里的一個玩具，我要他回店里付錢，通過這件事情兒子明白了不能偷拿東西．
解答 45-48．CDBC
45題答案：C考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章第一段的even when he said，"but it was only﹩1.50，Mom!"（甚至當他說，"媽媽，它僅僅值1.5美元"）可知兒子認為自己拿的東西不值錢，算不了什么大事．故本題答案為C選項．
46題答案：D考查選細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章第三段的Returning to the scene of the crime is the same shame-causing punishment I received when I was five and stole something from a store．（返回到犯罪的場景也是同樣的恥辱懲罰--我五歲的時候從店子里偷拿了東西后也受過）及后面的After that day，I never stole again．（那天以后，我再也不偷）可知在我身上也發(fā)生了同樣的事情，我也接受了同樣的懲罰，而且這種懲罰是有效的．故本題答案為D選項．
47題答案：B考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章中的If you overreact or yell，you might create a fascination with the behavior and a willful child will be more likely to fight against you．（如果你反應(yīng)過激或者是大喊大叫，那孩子們可能會認為這種行為有趣或者任性的孩子會跟父母對著干，再次偷盜．）可知本題答案為B選項．
48題答案：C考查推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中的But now I wonder if it was the right thing to do及I can rest if I haven't dealt with the situation badly．（但是現(xiàn)在我想知道是否這是正確的事情及我可以確定我沒有把事情搞砸）可知，作者一開始不肯定自己的做法是否正確，在聽了Laura Markham的建議后，作者松了一口氣，知道自己沒有搞砸整件事情．故本題答案為C選項．
