作者小时候看见其他小朋友在地上耍赖撒泼达到自己的目的，于是她也效仿，谁知妈妈的一招一下子就制服了她。是什么办法这么有效呢？这次的经历给作者留下刻骨铭心的教训，那教训比身上挨打更有效。
1.. D。从语境可知，这里表示“我”在托儿所“观察”整个事情的经过，看这个女孩如何通过耍赖撒泼达到自己的目的。
2.. A。这里表示家长到托儿所接孩子回家。
3.. B。语境表示这个女孩没有达到自己的要求，马上就一屁股坐在地上，踢着脚嚷了起来。这里用动词drop表示“忽然倒下/坐下”。
4.. C。本题在句中作主句的主语，表示试过许多办法但没有任何办法能让这个女孩停止哭泣。
5.. D。下面一句与本句构成递进关系：说我对此觉得惊讶不确切，我暗自觉得高兴。
6.. C。看来以后我想要什么东西的时候就可以如法炮制了。
7.. B。妈妈提前到了托儿所来接我，因为我们要去买圣诞物品。
8.. A。从语境可知故事发生在儿童玩具柜台前，因此选A，母女从玩具销售区穿过的时候。
9.. D。把绳子一拉，这个玩具电话会发出电话的响声。这里用ring表示电话“响了”。
10.. A。我抬头看着母亲，对她提出我的要求。
11.. B。本题用动词insist表示“一定要，坚决要求”。
12.. C。我在那里耍横，非要买这个玩具，此时妈妈皱着眉头，紧紧地拉着我的手，要把我从这个区域拉走。
13.. D。注意作者的猜测与语气：到了玩具柜台，现在是机不可失，时不再来，如果现在不买到手，那么以后就永远甭想说服妈妈给我买这部电话机了。
14.. A。本题只有通过下文才能做出判断。从下文看，母亲管教我的方式很特别，她没有勃然大怒地打骂我，而是非常冷静。
15.. D。母亲在威胁我，“等我数到三的时候你最好给我站起来，否则的话”。因此本题选D表示“否则，要不然”。
16.. A。母亲的警告没有一丁点作用，于是她做出一个惊人的举动：她也一下子躺在地上，开始踢着脚叫了起来。
17.. A。从下文可知，妈妈的这一举动把我给吓住了，我赶紧从地上爬起来，哀求妈妈别这样。
18.. B。我脸上还挂着泪珠劝妈妈站起来。
19.. D。这里用短语brush off表示“刷掉，拂去”：妈妈站起来，拍掉身上的灰尘。
20.. C。从此我再也不敢这样做了，因为这件事给我留下刻骨铭心的教训，那教训比身上的疤痕还更有效
