Running Away
On a very busy day, our four and a half year old son, Justin Carl, kept making trouble again and again. After several tries, my husband George finally told him to stand in the corner. He did so 31 he wasn’t too happy about it. Finally, after a few minutes, he said, “I’m going to run away from home.”
My first reaction (反应) was surprise, and then his words 32 me. “You are?” I shouted. But as I turned to look at him, he looked like an angel, so small, so innocent, with his face so sad.
As my heart felt his 33 , I remembered a moment in my own childhood when I spoke those words and how unloved and lonely I felt. He was saying so much more than just his words. He was crying, “Please notice me! I’m important. Please make me feel wanted, loved and 34 .”
“OK, Justin, you can run away from home,” I said to him gently and started 35 out some clothes. “Well, we’ll need pajamas, your coat…”
“Mama,” he said, “what are you doing?” I put these things into a bag and 36 it by the front door. “Okay, Justin, if you’re going to run away from home, then Mama’s going with you, because I would never want you to be alone.”
We held each other while we talked. “Why do you want to come with me?” I looked into his 37 . “Because I love you, Justin. My life would never be the same if you went away.” “Can Daddy come?” “No, Daddy has to stay at home with your brothers, and he has to work and 38 the house while we’re gone.” “Can Freddi (the dog) come?” “No, Freddi has to stay here, too.” He 39 for a while and said, “Mama, can we stay home?” “Yes, we can.” “Mama.” “Yes, Justin?” “I love you.” “I love you, too, honey. How about you help me make some popcorn?” “All right.”
At that moment I knew the wonderful gift that I had been given. It was the important 40 to help develop a child’s sense of security (安全感). I learned that as a mother I should never “run away” from the opportunity to show my children they are wanted, needed and loved.

B
In 2011, Kylie Dunn, a writer from Australia, decided to shake up her life. Every month for a year, she decided to try two new activities. In February 2012, for example, one of her goals was to eat less meat for 30 days. Later, she wrote a letter to a friend or relative every day for a month. In just 12 months, she changed her life in more than 20 different ways.
Dunn was inspired to try her project after watching a TED Talk by Matt Cutts. To get ideas for activities, she watched hundreds of other TED Talks. Her first activity, in November 2011, was inspired by Jessi Arrington’s talk “Wear Nothing New.” Dunn tried each activity for 30 days, and then wrote about her experiences in a blog called “My Year of TED.”
Finally, when her project was over, Dunn talked about her experiences at a TEDx conference (会议) in Hobart, Australia. Dunn’s talk in January 2014 inspired other people to change their attitudes and their lives. Before her project, Dunn says, she didn’t think she had the courage to change her life. The project showed her she had more power than she thought.
“People who watch TED Talks… end up changing their view of the future,” says Chris Anderson, the head of TED. He says that TED’s goal isn’t to make a single big change. TED’s effect is the millions of stories of small changes. Personal changes like Kylie Dunn’s are happening every day. Together, these changes have the power to change the future in a positive way. As Anderson explains, “Instead of thinking of the future as an unstoppable force… people can play a part in shaping it.”
45.What was Kylie Dunn’s goal in February 2012?
A. To start a blog.
B. To eat less meat.
C. To make new friends.
D. To wear nothing new.
46. What did Kylie Dunn’s project show her?
A. She had more power than she though
