I Left The Abuse
by BlueClover
(California)
I finally had enough of the Verbal and Emotional Abuse after being married for seven years and having two kids. Ladies, don't wait until you have a scar on your face to prove you have had enough. Emotional & verbal abuse leaves deeper scars that no wound could ever show. I thought I married a very intelligent and good looking man. For the most part, he played the perfect part to everyone’s eyes. Unfortunately, this "wonderful' man had deep wounds that were never healed (broken home, unstable parents, drug addiction).
My husband could have had Borderline Personality Disorder or Bi Polar, I am not sure. I can’t diagnose the man, but I know in my heart he needed help. His moods were HOT and Cold. When he was under stress, I knew I was going to have a bad day. I took a lot I often thought I married a 7 year old.
I was constantly accused of cheating on him. There was never any proof because it never happened. It got to a point that I was being spied on. He followed me through the IPhone Apps, he knew what songs I was downloading and what I was doing on my computer, plus, I completely lost all control of finances. I was lucky to even have 20 bucks in my pocket. I can make every excuse for this man, but the truth is… a man who cannot control himself and his emotions is not our problem. It is theirs and the sooner you realize this, the sooner you can get out. Trust your gut and your deep instincts, if it feels wrong IT IS WRONG. He will make you feel shame and guilt for trying to leave. He may verbally banter and abuse you for taking a stand. He may even make you feel like you are the crazy one that needs help. Don’t take it, leave. He will NEVER change, let me repeat, he will NEVER change. I left 3 times. THREE TIMES, and each time he promised to change. Each time he promised to get therapy, another time we tried God, he refused any help. Each time I came back, he promised he would never raise his voice or hurt me again. As much as I would like to take credit that I left on my own, THANK THE LORD my parents intervened with this horrific relationship, and I will advise to anyone going through emotional and verbal abuse by a partner, TELL SOMEONE. Silence is the greatest enemy in all of this. The more people you tell the easier it will be for you to get help and leave.
Speaking out will also cause your abuser to feel some shame and grow a conscious that what he is doing is wrong. My heart goes out to anyone ever going through this horrific period in their life. Please don’t be someone who says they have been with their abuser for 20 or 30 years. Your soul is talking to you, listen to it.

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling’s wizard is not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability（可利用性）of computer games. Maybe the books boom（繁荣）has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget（预算） report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half- hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less – often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on（热衷） reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator（指示物）of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.【小题1】Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?A．Many children’s books have been adapted from films.B．Many high-quality children’s books have been published.C．The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.D．The sales of presents for children have increased.【小题2】Statistics suggested that ___.A．the number of top students increased with the use of computers.B．a decreasing number of children showed interest in reading.C．a minority of primary school children read properly.D．a large percentage of children read regularly.【小题3】What do we know about Reading Recovery?A．An education of it will be made sometime this year.B．Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.C．It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.D．Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.【小题4】Reading for fun is important because book-loving children ____.A．takes greater advantage of the project.B．shows the potential to enjoy a long life.C．is likely to succeed in their education.D．would make excellent future researchers.【小题5】The aim of this text would probably be ____.A．to overcome primary school pupils’ reading difficulty.B．to encourage the publication of more children’s books.C．to remind children of the importance of reading for fun.D．to introduce a way to improve early childhood reading.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项。AA lot of management training each year for Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. Among the topics we address in our course is the retention（保护力） of quality employees-a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale（标准）in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants（参加者）, “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time back a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a ＄19 baseball glove.”Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an interim（临时的） position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we can’t pay good people like you as much but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”The thoughtfulness, empathy and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.56．Among many of the problems in the service industry, what is talked about in this passage, is___ A．how to ensure his employees’ high pay B．how to attract more customers C．how to look carefully after the employees D．how to keep the good employees from leaving57．Although a new manager, Cynthia would do her job well in keeping quality employees because she________. A．had mastered all the courses for the manager B．had already formed good relationship with the employees C．know the way how to deal with her employees D．had her own personal experience58．This passage shows us that to run a business well it is necessary for managers to let their employees know________ A．how much they can get for their job. B．what good positions they can get later C．they are very necessary to the business&& D．they are nice as well as useful59.The story told in this passage tells us that employees care about____________&&& A．only how large a pay they can get B．love from the managing people rather than only money C．if their children could be properly taken care of D．what position they can be offered

Why does most of the world travel on the right side today? Theories differ, but there’s no doubt that Napoleon was a major influence. The French had used the right since at least the late 18th century. Some say that before the French Revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. Regardless of the origin, Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including Russia, Switzerland and Germany. Hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s. Nations that escaped right-hand control, like Great Britain, followed their left-hand tradition. The U.S. has not always been a nation of right- earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic traveled on the left, as it did in England. But by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift to the right. A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip to see opposite traffic clearly, they traveled on the right. One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S. occurred in the 20th century, when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left (one reason, stated in 1908; the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially… if there is a lady to be considered). Once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including Canada in the 1920s, Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970. The U.K. and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the western world’s few remaining holdouts. Several Asian countries, including Japan, use the left as well — thought many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.【小题1】Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right? A．They had used the right-hand since the 18th century. B．Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.C．Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.D．Hitler ordered them to go to against their left-hand tradition.【小题2】Of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is ______.A．AustriaB．EnglandC．JapanD．Australia【小题3】Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the left _______.A．in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.B．so that passengers could get off convenientlyC．because rules at that time weren’t perfectD．though many countries were strongly against that【小题4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Before the French Revolution, all the French people used the right.B．People in Britain and the U.S. travel on the same side nowadays.C．The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.D．All the Asian nations use the left at present.【小题5】What would be the best title for this passage? A．Who made the great contributions to the shift of traffic directions?B．How cars have become a popular means of transportation?C．How Henry Ford produced his cars with controls on the left? D．Why don’t people all drive on the same side of the road?
