三、阅读理解。
Mom was in the kitchen,and she could hear her girls arguing over something.A few minutes later Maria went through the kitchen quickly and closed the door as she left.
“Come back here,my girl,”Mom said.Maria turned around and came back into the kitchen.“I don't want to talk to Felicia again!”Maria said angrily.
Mom called out,“Felicia,come to the kitchen right now.”
When Felicia was on her way,Mom took two of the kitchen chairs and put them opposite(在……对面)each other but very close together.
“Maria,you sit here and Felicia,you sit there.”The girls sat facing each other,knees almost touching.“Now you look each other in the eyes for five minutes,”Mom ordered.
The sisters both said no but Mom insisted that they must do so for five minutes.If they didn't make eye contact(眼神交流),they would sit on the chairs longer.They both wanted to leave,so all they could do was sit there and look at each other.
Felicia and Maria looked at each other's angry face.They each thought the other one looked ridiculous(可笑的)!Soon Maria couldn't stand it any longer and started laughing and so did Felicia.They laughed and laughed.
Seeing this,Mom said,“Okay girls,you can go now.”
