(2017·云南省11校跨区调研考试)If our kids don't fall，they don't learn to get up.I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school.I'm the oldest of four children，and no doubt she'd had a long day with the other kids and it had slipped her mind.After waiting at school for an hour，I walked the three miles home，and when I got to my house，I shut our front door with anger，stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom's face that she'd forgotten me.

Later that night，my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day.I figured my mom would still take me，but when the morning came，she refused.It was midterm，and as a straight­A student ready to start college applications，being late wasn't an option.In my mind，missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career.I begged my mom，I told her she was ruining my future and everything I'd worked for.But she held_her_ground，and that day, I walked to school.And I missed my tests.

My mom didn't rescue me from failure.She let me suffer from it.She let me figure it out.She let me learn.Now，as a mom myself，I've realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow，learn and think outside of ourselves. It's how we self­educate to learn what's right and respectable，and what's not.It's how we become responsible and enthusiastic.

Falling down makes us better，because we learn how to get up.

(2017·福州市五校第一次联考) There is a popular saying in the English language：“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me.” Well，that is not true.Unkind words，name­calling or even the so­called “the silent treatment”can hurt children as much as being physically hit，sometimes even more so.

A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的)abuse by other children can harm development in the brain.The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts.Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults，aged 18 to 25.These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents.The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children.Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.

The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain.The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum.This was the area that was underdeveloped.

The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing.So，unkind，hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect.The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study.The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear，depression，anger and drug abuse than others in the study.

The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry's website.

Parents cannot control what other people say to their children，but they can prepare their children.

A．To show the power of words.
