When Sarah Hansen first came to Bonnie Schlachte’s ballet studio, she jokingly called herself a “weeble-wobble,” telling her ballet teacher that when she tried to walk, she would fall. “She couldn’t walk across the room without holding on to something,” recalls Schlachte. “She would immediately fall.”

Hansen was only in middle-school, but a progressive neurological disease was hindering her ability to walk, let alone do ballet. But Hansen had a tenacious spirit and desperately wanted to learn ballet. Hansen joined in weekly group classes at Schlachte’s ballet studio called Ballet for all Kids, a studio that teaches children with disabilities. Soon after she began classes and private lessons, her family saw a vast improvement in her ability to move.

She worked tirelessly in the studio, focusing on what her instructor wanted from her. “At the time, her foot wouldn’t fully rest on the floor,” explains Schlachte. “That’s why she couldn’t stand on her own, there was no support.” Schlachte pushed her student, explaining to Hansen that her brain has neuroplasticity(可塑性) so eventually it will receive the message.

As a mom, a classically trained ballerina, and holding a degree in psychology, Bonnie Schlachte was the perfect person to push Hansen to do her best. Schlachte put herself through college with dance and theater scholarships. After graduation, she came across an opportunity with children with developmental disabilities. She fell in love and chose to focus on jobs in that field.

Years later, Schlachte found herself watching and celebrating Hansen, who at one point could barely walk, was now moving across the floor on her own two feet. “One day, her ankle dropped, and she put her whole foot on the ground,” says Schlachte. “I was crying, her mom was crying, it was a great moment.”

24. Why did Sarah Hansen call herself a “weeble-wobble”? A. She met Bonnie Schlachte for the first time. B. She had great difficulty in walking properly. C. She could walk very fast carrying something. D. She would stop herself from falling quickly. 25. What kind of person was Sarah Hansen? A. Determined and hard-working. B. Energetic and confident. C. Happy and generous. D. Anxious and careful.

26. What did Schlachte do to help Hansen walk? A. She put Hansen’s foot fully on the floor. B. She pushed Hansen in a wheelchair.

C. She asked Hansen to control her brain. D. She paid the fee for her.

27. What made Schlachte and Hansen’s mother cry? A. Hansen’s degree in psychology. B. Hansen’s dance and theater scholarships. C. Hansen’s opportunity with children. D. Hansen’s improvement in walking.

Ask any kid, and you'll likely hear that time spent with friends is the coolest and most important part of the school day. Educators, as well, acknowledge that making friends is one of the most valuable things children do as they learn and grow. But many parents are perplexed by their children’s social lives, wondering how to help their kids cope with the challenges, heartbreaks, and the joys of making friends, losing them, and making friends again.

“Friendships help children gradually learn to be independent, contributing members of a community and it’s just as important as their academic growth” notes Diane Levin, Ph.D., author of “Remote Control Childhood.” However, it’s a slow process. There are many social skills to learn, which advance with age and experience, trial and error, and experiencing the satisfaction that comes from contributing to an ongoing friendship.”

“Friendship starts as soon as children can crawl off their parents’ laps over to another child,” adds Michael Thompson, Ph.D., co-author of her life with you to her life with her friends. but who their friends are, how they interact with them, and how popular they are, is something parents have only limited control over.”

Experts on children’s behavior say that problems like jealousies, breakups, bullying and teasing account for a big part of what parents, kids and teachers talk about, and what parents worry about.

Get insights into how children’s friendships develop and how parents can help, if needed, and find ways to determine if your child is at risk for serious social problems or simply suffering from real (but common) social challenges.

28. While staying at school, kids usually feel that . A. staying with friends is a good experience B. making friends is the most important thing C. communicating with friends is a great challenge
