While I was standing at the kitchen window, five-year-old Spencer, my oldest son, ran into the house    1  , “We need a doctor out here! We need a doctor! Hurry , Mom!” “What’s wrong?” I asked. Spencer anxiously told me he had found a dead bird that needed a doctor.

I seized a small plastic bag from the cupboard and took Spencer’s hand.   2    , that’s sort of thing mothers do! While my son led me out of the door and toward the bird, I explained that    3    the creature was indeed dead, a doctor could not    4    . When we arrived at the accident scene, it was obvious that the baby bird was dead. Spencer and I could see the nest high up in the tree. My son and I discussed the probable age of the baby bird, its inability to fly well, and exactly how the    5     had caused its death. “ I think his mommy and daddy really    6     him,” Spencer observed. I    7    my boy’s hand and tried to ease his    8     by saying I was sure they did, but that they would be OK because the little bird had gone to Heaven to be with God and Popo (my dead grandfather). I told Spencer that the bird’s mommy and daddy knew that their little one would be    9    and loved. I also told Spencer that Popo loved little birds and I was sure he was in Heaven holding and playing with the baby bird right then. I    10    the little creature’s body, slipped (悄悄放到) it into my plastic bag and   11    placed the bird in the rubbish bin.     12    else was said about the matter for the rest of the day. Spencer went right back to playing    13    he had never been interrupted, and I returned to my work in the kitchen.

At breakfast the next morning, Spencer sadly explained to his father that he had found a baby bird the day before that had fallen from its nest.

“It was dead, Daddy!”

Trying to   14    Spencer’s spirits and remind him that the little bird was really OK, I asked our son to tell Daddy where the baby bird was. Spencer,    15   solemn (郑重的) faced at his dad, said, “In the rubbish bin with Mama’s granddad, Popo.”

Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(个人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas: others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.

The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(获得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.

Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.

Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s able to complete some of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.

         A.come from different situations in one’s life

         A.Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
