"Children should not be left unsupervised (無人監(jiān)督的) to play with a dog." say experts in this week's British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.

"Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children." write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.

Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.

Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).

In terms of prevention, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for its babies.

"Dog owners also need to change their behavior", says Rachel Besser, a children's doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article.

"It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog", she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary （預防的) behaviors around dogs.

Finally, she would like to see animal doctors advising dog owners about bite prevention, and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.   

1.Dog biting is a problem which _____.

A．only happens to a few children

B．should be paid attention to

B．Children should be taught not to play with dogs.

C．All the dog owners would like to attend classes on caring for dogs.

D．Some dog owners would like children to be left unsupervised with a dog.

Brazil has become one. of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint ef??forts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without re??ally trying, says George Martine at Harvard.

Brazil’s population growth rate dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1. 93% a year between 198 land 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 chil??dren on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.

Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas (肥皂劇) and installment (分期付款) plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in low??ering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest produc??ers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television net??work, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.

Although they have never really tried to work in a mes??sage towards the problems of reproduction, they describe mid??dle and upper class values: not many children, women work??ing, says Martine. They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious (有意識的) of other patterns of behaviour and other values, which were put into a very attrac??tive package.

Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. " This led to an enormous change in consumption (消費) patterns and consumption was incom??patible (不相容的) with unlimited reproduction," says Mar??tine.

9. According to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________.

A. by educating its citizens                B. by careful family planning

C. by developing TV programmes                     D. by chance

10. According to the passage, many Third World countries

A. haven’t given much attention to birth control

B. would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rate

C. haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their population

D. haven’t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning

11. Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate be??cause ________.

A. they keep people sitting long hours watching TV

B. they have gradually changed people’s way of life

C. people are drawn to their attractive package

D. they popularize birth control measures

12. What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?

A. The increase in birth rate will increase consumption.

B. The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate.

C. Consumption goes with reproduction.

D. A country ‘s production is limited by its population growth.

School bullying(欺凌）has long been seen as an unfriendly practice of adolescence with ter­rible results. Now the “Be More Than a Bystander” campaign organized by Advertising Council, a nonprofit organization, is aiming to remove school bullying by urging parents to teach their chil­dren to face such behavior.

It makes use of a series of television, print and online ads to promote the idea that if witnes­ses know what to do, they can take various steps, such as moving the victim away from the situa­tion or reporting it to an adult, to stop the bullying.

"Parents talk to their kids about drugs, sex, drinking and driving，” said Peggy Conlon, president of the Ad Council, “but they are not always active in bullying-control. ” 80% of high school students see bullying behavior firsthand at least weekly，but parents are less aware of it, with only about 50 percent realizing that bullying occurs frequently, according to a research by DoSomething. org.

The council tested many ways and decided on the parental focus after reading a report from DoSomething. org. It wants to remind parents that what their kids are witnessing is serious, and it can have terrible effects.

”Parents are still influential," said Ms. Thomas, a volunteer for the campaign, “ We've changed the culture of letting friends drive when they're drunk. The message we want to convey now is that your involvement can make a difference. ”

The activity is winning support from all the walks of life. The medical company Johnson & Johnson is providing funds. AOL is donating space for ads, a video feature on its home page. Magazines like Parenting as well as some newspapers nationwide will also run print ads free to spread awareness of the anti-bullying campaign.

61. What is the purpose of the “Be More Than a Bystander” campaign?

A. To offer students advice on conflict management.

B. To get rid of school bullying with the help of parents.

C. To make the organizer become better known.

D. To inform parents of the risk of school bullying.

62. What does the second paragraph mainly tell the readers?

A.  How the campaign works.

B.  Why the campaign is organized.

C. What measures parents should take.

D. How serious school bullying is now,

63. What can we learn from the third paragraph about parents?

A. They consider drugs, sex, drinking and driving as nothing serious.

B. They often fail to give enough concern about school bullying.

C. They often keep track of their kids' behavior at school.
