根据以下资料，回答下列各题。

When I was about 12 1 had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings．Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasnt a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on．I put up with her as long as I could．At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears．

He listened to my outburst quietly．Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not？"

True？ I wanted to know how to strike back．What did truth have to do with it？

"Mary, didnt you ever wonder what you are really like？ Well, you now have that girls opinion．Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．Pay no attention to the other things she said．"

I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true．Some of them I couldnt change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change．

For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself．

I brought the list back to Daddy．He refused to take it．

"Thats just for you," he said．"You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it．But youve got to learn to listen, not to clos your ears in anger or hurt．When something said about you is true youll know it．Youll find that it will echo inside you．"

Daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments．

What did the girls enemy like to do？

A.Talking with her．

B.Pointing out her weak points．

C.Reporting to the teacher．

D.Quarrelling with her．

MRS WARREN: (piteously) Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me？ Have I no rights over you as your mother？ VIVIE: Are you my mother？ MRS WARREN; (appalled) Am I your mother! Oh, Vivie! VIVIE : Then where are our relatives？ my father？ our family friends？ You claim the rights of a mother ; the right to call me fool and child; to speak to me as no woman in authority over me at college dare speak to me; to dictate my way of life; and to force on me the acquaintance of a brute whom anyone can see to be the most vicious sort of London man about town. Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as well find out whether they have any real existence. MRS WARREN: (distracted, throwing herself on her knees) Oh no, no. Stop, stop. I am your mother; I swear it. Oh , you can t mean to turn on me—my own child \ it s not natural. You believe me, don t you？ Say you believe me. VIVIE : Who was my father？ MRS WARREN: You don t know what you re asking. I can t tell you. VIVIE: (determinedly) Oh yes you can, if you like. I have a right to know; and you know very well that I have that right. You can refuse to tell me, if you please, but if you do, will see the last of me tomorrow morning. MRS WARREN: Oh, it s too horrible to hear you talk like that. You wouldnt—you couldnt leave me. VIVIE: (ruthlessly) Yes, without a moment s hesitation, if you trifle with me about this. (Shivering with disgust) How can I feel sure that I may not have the contaminated blood of that brutal waster in my veins？ MRS WARREN: No, no. On my oath it s not he, nor any of the rest that you have ever met. I m certain of that, at least. Vivie s eyes fasten sternly on her mother as the significance of this flashes on her. Questions:
