Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Parents often say，“I don't understand why my child is acting this way.We've given him everything in the world，and he just wants more.He's never happy.He doesn't enjoy what he has.”
For some reason，we often feel that if we give our child everything he wants to keep him happy，he should behave the way we want him to.An important part of meeting children's emotional(情感的)needs is to set limits often and firmly in a loveing way.Pardnts who learn to set limits in a loving way set them more often because they don't have to wait until they've “had it up to here” to do so.
A therapeutic(治疗的)way of setting limits is called ACT：Acknowledge the feeling，communicate the limit，and target the choice.Necessarily，you're saying to the child，“I understand how you feel.It's OK to feel that way，but you can't act that way when you feel like that.You can act this way when you feel like that.” It's also important to communicate this message in a loving way，not an angry way.
Using ACT limit­setting teaches children to cope with their emotions and to find appropriate behavioral expressions that don't hurt the children themselves.It can also be used to teach children to delay gratification(满意)．Here are some examples of how it works.If your child wants a toy when you're at the store and you don't want to buy it，you can say，(A)“You love that toy and want it right now，(C)but we're not spending any money on toys today.(T)You can put it on your wish list for birthday or Christmas.”
Using this technique，you'll learn to set reasonable limits that work.If you set limits too severely，you're also more likely to give in，because you feel guilty.If you don't follow through with a consequence or you make one that's too severe，you teach your child not to trust you.
【语篇解读】　本文主要向读者介绍了如何对待孩子的情感满足问题，着重介绍了“ACT technique”，什么是“ACT technique”，如何运用以及运用得当的好处等。

In 2006，I spent 3 glorious weeks in South Africa.It was my first time traveling on the African continent and truly each day was filled with one adventure after another.That was the craziest and the most dangerous experience I have ever had.
On the morning of the excursion，I met with my friends for breakfast，with little conversation.I supposed we were nervous about the day ahead of us.The coach then drove us from Cape Town to Dyer Island in Gansbaii.
As soon as we got to our destination，we were quickly pushed into a boat.About 2 hours into the boat we spotted our first shark.It was one of the world's deadliest predators(食肉动物)—a Great White shark.Our guide told us that we had to get into the water immediately.Without any formal preparation or instruction，we put our thick wet suits on and jumped into the iron cage.
There I was in this tiny cage with 3 Great White sharks circling around me.I tried desperately to take pictures with my underwater camera，not letting my hands and feet drift(漂)out of the cage.
When I took a breath，life above the water seemed chaotic(混乱的)．But，I would drop back under the water and life would seem to stop existing.And the sharks that always appeared frightening on TV or in photographs actually appeared peaceful in person.
After an hour，I decided it was probably time for me to get out once the sharks started to become really aggressive.I waited until the very last second I could，since I knew I would probably never do this again.
