“How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”

“He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.

“Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”

Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.

“And then?”

“Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”

“But who killed Norman?”

“Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”

If there are any dangerous animals, they will bite the stick, not you. Then they will run away. Don’t be afraid of the large animals (they are afraid of you). But be careful. The small animals can be dangerous. Make a noise while you walk (they always run away from you). Find a river, then follow it. People live near rivers. ”

There’s a time to get angry, and it’s best for your child if you do. Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.

　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism （批评）to heart.

　　When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.

According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?

       A．Ask the child not to do it again any time.

       B．Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.

       C．Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.

       D．Let the child know you still love hime or her.

What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?

       A．Calm themselves down before scolding him.

       B．Hide their feelings when talking to him.

       C．Explain immediately why he was wrong.

       D．Speak strongly and angrily to him.
