Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme.（极端的） I found something that worked, though.

There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a discussion in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension ( 紧张 ). He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying things.

I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.

I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed communication, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down . I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:

“So what happened today?”

It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized （批评）him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well for the good of safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize. 21. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.

Cell phones：Is there a cancer link?

Could your cell phone give you cancer? Whether it could or not，some people are worrying about the possibility that phones，power lines and Wi-Fi could be responsible for a range of illnesses，from rashes （疹子）to brain tumors ．

Some say there is evidence to support the growing anxieties．David Carpenter，a professor of environmental health sciences at the university at Albany，in New York，thinks there’s a greater than 95 percent chance that power lines can cause childhood leukemia (a kind of blood disease)．Also there’s a greater than 90 percent chance that cell phones can cause brain tumors．“It’s clear now that there’s a real risk，”said Carpenter．

But others believe these worries caused by some experts’ warnings are not justified (验证)．Dr Martha Linet，head of radiation epidemiology(流行病学)at the US National Cancer Institute，has looked at the same research as Carpenter but has reached a different conclusion．“I don’t support warning labels (标签) for cell phones，”said Linet．“We don’t have the evidence （证据）that there’s much danger．”

Studies so far suggest a weak connection between EMFs (电磁场)and illness—so weak that it might not exist at all．A multinational investigation of cell phones and brain cancer，in 13 countries outside the US，has been under way for several years．It’s funded in part by the European Union，in part by a cell phone industry group．The
