Betty, this is Jack from Kiss 999! We are on air now!
Wow! Jack! I was just listening to you when you called.
It’s nice to hear that! Betty…It sounds noisy. Can you turn down the…?
OK! I can hear you better now. Betty, someone wrote me a letter and asked me to call you....
It’s your ex-boyfriend, Sam. He said he found he still loves you....
But he didn’t contact me after we broke up…This made me sad…I tried very hard to have myself forget about him.
If he wants you to be his girlfriend again, will you say OK?
I don’t know…The past is past, and I should move on....
If he just wants to be friends, will you meet him?
Well…He should call me in person if he really means it!
You bet! Sam, did you hear that? Your ex-girlfriend, Betty, is waiting for your call. Betty! I think he will call
you later. I have to hang up the phone, so that he can call in. I’ll let you have a nice talk now! Bye!

A woman had two sons, and they always made fun of their friends. “How can I stop them?” she thought hard. Then,
she came up with an idea. She took out a knife and cut an apple into two pieces. After that, she put them into two different
glass jars, labeled them “good” and “bad,” and set them on the dining table.
Every time the woman walked by the “good” apple, she would tell it something good, like “You’re perfect!” and “I love
you.” Her boys saw that and also did the same. As for the “bad” apple, she talked to it negatively with things like, “You’re
ugly!” and “You’re the worst!” Not surprisingly, her sons did the same.
A month later, the “good” apple still looked good, but the “bad” apple was rotten. In the end, the woman was successful,
and her kids learned their lesson about bullying.
What does “negatively” mean in the reading?
What lesson did the woman give her kids?
(A) A housewife needs a good knife.
(B) Even simple words can hurt.
(C) Looking good is better than feeling good.
(D) Apples are great for our health.
