When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.

Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."

If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.

There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.

1.A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may _____.
A.care nothing about it

B.develop a sense of anger
C.do something uncool purposely

D.pretend to get hurt very much

2.A teacher can help an unpopular child by _____.
A.seeing the child as the teacher's favourite
B.asking the child to do something for partners
C.forcing other children to make friends with the child
D.offering the child chances to show his good qualities

3.How can parents help their child fit in better?
A.By cooking delicious food for him.

B.By being kind to his schoolmates.
C.By forcing him to invite friends home.

D.By taking him to have picnics in the park.

4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Children don't care about others' comments on them.
B.It's only a teacher's work to make children popular.
C.Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.
D.Inviting children's friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.

Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(輻射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves.

B.Nuclear radiation can cause cancer to human beings.

C.Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses.

D.Nuclear radiation can be safe to human beings if its level is low.

2.How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?

A.By damaging its heart.

B.By killing a few cells.

C.By hitting any place in its body.

D.By killing many cells in important organs.

3.If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may __________.

A.die of cancer after many years

B.die immediately

C.have a child who may be born weak

D.a(chǎn)ll of the above

Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior­chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don't feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.

Betta fish

They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner's presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.

Chinchillas

Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can't get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glace at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.

Land hermit crabs

In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty?”, land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don't cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.

Red­eared sliders

If you're interested in a lifelong friend, a red­eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red­eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (曬太陽) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.

1.All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are ________.

A.a(chǎn)ctive and allergic    B.quiet and peaceful

C.colorful and tasty D.small and smelly

2.Which of the following is NOT true about these creatures?

A.Bettas are active and rich in colors.

B.Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.

C.Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.

D.Red­eared sliders need more care from the owner.

3.If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you'd better choose ________.

A.Betta fish B.Chinchillas

C.Land hermit crabs D.Red­eared sliders

4.The text is mainly to ________.

A.introduce the best way to keep pets

The illegal ivory(象牙) trade has been a major problem in Africa for decades. Poachers have killed hundreds of thousands of elephants to obtain ivory. Now, affected areas are taking action. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) announced on Wednesday key African states where poaching takes place have promised to stop the ivory trade to protect elephants.

Over the past few days, top officials and experts from 30 states met at the African Elephant Summit. The conference, organized by the IUCN and the government of Botswana, was held in Gaborone, Botswana.

Conservation efforts will include China and Thailand, where much of the ivory is sent. “Now is the time for Africa and Asia to join forces to protect this universally valued species,” said Botswana President Ian Khama.

In the 1980s, as many as 1 million elephants across Africa were killed for their ivory. The ivory was used to make jewelry and other items. This continued until 1989, when the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) voted to ban all the trade in ivory. As a result, demand for ivory fell. Governments cracked down on poachers. Elephant populations slowly began to increase. However , this progress was short-lived.

According to the IUCN, 2011 saw the highest levels of poaching and illegal ivory trading in at least 16 years. Around 25,000 elephants were killed in Africa that year. Data from the IUCN show even higher levels of illegal trade may have been reached in 2013. “With an estimated 22,000 elephants illegally killed in 2012, we continue to face a critical situation,” said John E. Scanlon, CITES Secretary-General. “Current elephant poaching in Africa remains far too high, and could soon lead to local extinction if the present killing rate continues.

At the African Elephant Summit , key African states where elephants make their home agreed to develop a “zerotolerance approach” to poaching. The deal calls for maximum sentences for poachers and hunters, and increased cooperation between affected states. Officials are committed to classifying wildlife trafficking (交易) as a serious crime --- and to making sure that the people who commit it are punished. All participants at the conference agreed to sign the deal. With these states working together, there may yet be hope for elephants.

1.The purpose of holding the African Elephant Summit is to _________.

A. make new laws to punish poachers.

B. prevent elephants from being poached.

C. collect money for elephants’ protection

D. call for African countries to save elephants.

2.Why are China and Thailand mentioned in the text?

A. The ivory is illegally sold in these two countries.

B. Elephants need protecting in these two countries.

C. They know how to protect wildlife like elephants.

D. They prefer jewelry and other items made of ivory.

3.What can we learn from Paragraph 5 ?

A. The governments do nothing to protect animals.

B. Elephant poaching in Africa is out of control.

C. A large number of elephants have been killed.

D. Illegal ivory trading is to blame for the elephants’ extinction.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Wild Animals Are at Risk B. New Hope for Elephants

C. Elephants Need Our Help D. Wildlife Protection in Africa
