When I was fifteen, my parents moved away to a foreign country. At that time, I was quite sure I would be 11 without them. Like many teenagers, I felt I was not a 12 any longer and could go out in the big world alone.

It was a cold day in December in New York City. A little boy about 10 years old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway.

A lady walked to the boy and said,“ Little boy, what are you doing ”“I'm asking God to give me a pair of shoes,” said the boy.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store. She asked the clerk(店员) to get a pair of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin(脸盆) of hot water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought the things to her. She washed the boy's little feet and dried them with the towel. By that time, the clerk had returned with the socks. The lady put on the socks for the boy, and then bought him a pair of shoes. She patted(轻拍) him on the head and said,“ My boy, do you feel better now ”
As she turned to leave, the boy caught her by the hand suddenly and looked up in her face. With tears in his eyes, he asked,“ Are you God's wife ”“ No, I'm a mother,” said the woman.

Theft(偷窃) can cause danger and to you and your family, no matter where you live. Thieves are always stealing from careless people. Luckily, with a few basic rules, you can avoid becoming a victim of theft.
Take in your mail, newspapers and door- to- door advertisements
Don't let these things stay in your mailbox overnight; pick them up every day. Also, don't leave your mail in your car. If you do, it's like you' re advertising where you live.
Close curtains(窗帘) after dark
When night falls, if your windows aren't covered, it's easy for anyone to see into your home. This makes it possible for someone to look over your house to see where the inside doors are and where your TV and other valuable things are located. To some degree, the curtains can help keep our house safe.
Lock windows and doors
Even when you' re at home, keep your windows and doors locked. Leaving the door open is just asking for trouble. According to a survey, about 40 percent of the thefts happen because the thief breaks in through an unlocked door or window.
Sleep with car keys
You don't have to keep them in bed with you, but put them within easy reach. Then, if you hear someone trying to break in, you can hit the car alarm button(报警按钮) and scare him off.
Keep your yard free of tools and ladders
Sometimes all thieves need to break into a house is a little help. Gardening and power tools can be used to break windows and doors, and a ladder is an invitation to enter an open second- storey window.

All parents need to face the decision to leave their children home alone for the first time. Whether they are just running to the store for a few minutes or working during after- school hours, they need to be sure their children have the skills to handle the situation. Staying at home alone can be a valuable experience for children if they are well prepared. It can make them more confident and more independent.
The following suggestions may help you to prepare your child and to feel more comfortable about leaving him/ her alone:
Have a test. When you leave your child home alone for the first time, don't go far. Besides, you should come back in a short time. This is a good way to see how he/ she will manage.
Role play. Act out possible situations to help your child learn what to do, such as how to manage visitors and how to answer phone calls in a way that doesn't make others know he/ she is home alone.
▲ . Make sure your child knows what is ( and is not) allowed when you are not home. Experts suggest making a list of housework or tasks to keep children busy while you are away.
Check in. Call your child while you are away to see how it's going, or have a friend check in.
Talk about being home alone. Encourage your child to share his/ her feelings with you about being home alone. Do this before leaving your child. And when you return, have another conversation with your child about his/ her experiences and feelings while you were away.

(D)
Mark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T- shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.
Harvard Business School researcher, Francesca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive(积极的) effect. And she’s done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops in Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well- dressed in designer clothes.
Do people always view less formal(正式的) clothing more positively Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well- cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What's the difference He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you' re wearing could mean the difference between life and death.
It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students’ ability to pay attention to details(细节), the group wearing white lab coats did the best. Why Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors' coats. The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion.

( )39. In Paragraph 3, the writer proves(证明) his( her) opinion mainly .
A. by giving reasons B. by using pictures
C. by comparing facts D. by listing numbers
