Dear Dr. Bob, I was visiting my sister Mary, who has two boys, ages seven and five. They were throwing a ball around the living room. She asked them several times to stop, but they didn't listen to her. Finally, one of the boys threw the ball and knocked over a lamp. She shouted loudly at them for several minutes. Then, she sent them to their room. She looked at me and said, “They never listen to me.” Carmen Dear Carmen, Your sister needs to be clear to her children what behavior she expects. She should tell her boys, “Don't throw the ball in the house. If you throw the ball again, I'm going to take it.” Then, she needs to do what she says. Her boys will soon learn to listen to her. Dr. Bob

Dear Dr. Bob, I walked into my two-year-old daughter's bedroom and found her coloring on the wall again with her crayons. I told her, “No! No! Never write on the wall with your crayons. You can only write on paper.” My husband thinks I was too easy on her and that she needed a spanking (打屁股). What is your opinion? Debbie Dear Debbie, You dealt with the situation well. Children this age are too little to understand the relationship between their actions and a spanking. Use this as a warning; it's time to babyproof your home. Now that your little one is more active and curious (好奇的), what else can she reach? Check her room and your home for crayons, paints, medicines, cleaning products, and other things that might interest her. Dr. Bob 21. What was wrong with Mary's children? A. They threw a ball at Carmen. B. They turned a deaf ear to her words. C. They had a fight over a ball. D. They often shouted loudly at her.

22. By saying “to babyproof your home”, Dr. Bob means _____. A. giving your baby a spanking B. getting crayons out of your home C. making your home safe for babies D. teaching your baby to behave well 23. Both Mary and Debbie found it hard to _____. A. ask their children to follow rules B. stop their children from telling lies C. get their children to go to bed on time D. develop their children's interest in reading

Clover, a three-year-old spirit bear, lives at the B.C. Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he broke into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts (专家) tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people. Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild. Since then, a total of $750,000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.

The habitat covers about three acres (英亩) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else. It will add a platform and a

walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely. There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears. Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.

Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them. Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene (基因) for white fur. If a baby bear receives one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color. There are about 1,200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white Kermode bears in the world. Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia. They live in the Great Bear Rainforest, an area that covers the mainland and islands along the coast of B.C. between Vancouver and Alaska.

24. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Clover _____. A. lost his parents at the age of 3 B. could not find any food C. was not afraid of humans D. grew up in the wild

25. The habitat built for Clover _____. A. will be open to visitors

B. will become a center for spirit bears C. was created by Francis Kermode D. will prepare him for life in the wild 26. What will Clover's future life be like?

One day, The Kendall Bulletin's city editor (编辑), Jim Martinez, was invited to Tom's class.

“When I was nine or ten, I wrote a letter to the editor of our local paper. I thought that the first day of summer should be a holiday, and I said so. I saw my name in print, which hooked me. A month later, I sent in a story I'd written about the Independence Day parade (独立日游行) I was in. Somebody must have liked it because it was published (出版). Better yet, I got paid for it!” Mr. Martinez talked to the children.

“What's the most important job at a paper?” asked Betsy.

“Well, each job is important. But I'd say that the reporters are very important. They try to find out what happened and write stories about it.”

Then Tom asked, “What's the difference between a city editor and a copy editor?” “As a city editor, my main job is to assign (分配) each story to a reporter. After a story is typed, copy editors read it. Carefully, they check to make sure there are no mistakes in grammar, wording, spelling, or facts. As a last step, they type in a headline. Then the story is ready to be printed.”

“Then what about the managing editor?” Betsy asked.

“Well, the managing editor helps to decide what stories to publish and gives agreement on what we call a dummy sheet. Sometimes I help with the dummy sheet.”

“What's a dummy sheet?” asked several students at once.

“It's like a map. We have to decide where each story goes and how much space to give it. We plot (策划) it all on sheets of paper, just like these.”

He passed around some dummy sheets. Mr. Martinez ended by saying, “Next Thursday, I'll show you how it all fits together in my company.” 28. Why was Mr. Martinez invited to Tom's class? A. To introduce The Kendall Bulletin. B. To give a speech on Independence Day. C. To explain how to be an excellent reporter. D. To talk about what the newspaper business is like.

29. The underlined word “hooked” can best be replaced by “_____”. A. interested B. worried C. hurt D. calmed

30. Whose job usually comes first?

A. A reporter's. B. A city editor's. C. A copy editor's. D. The managing editor's. 31. What will Tom probably do next Thursday?

A. Send in an interesting story. B. Visit The Kendall Bulletin. C. Write a letter to the editor. D. Do homework at home.

KidZui is a new browser (浏览器) and online service that lets kids aged 3 to 12 explore more than 500,000 websites, pictures and videos. The idea for KidZui came about when one of the founders, Vidar Vignisson, saw how difficult it was for his children to enjoy the power and promise of the Internet in a safe way. Together with Cliff Boro and Thomas Broadhead, they decided to do something.

KidZui was first tested by 8,000 kids and their parents. Lisa Rebena, a parent whose child tested KidZui, said, “My 4-year-old gets into KidZui, reads news and watches videos all by herself, generally doing what she pleases. I'm much more relaxed now when my daughter is on the computer.”

Content (内容) in KidZui has been reviewed by a team of more than 200 trained teachers and parents. They make sure that kids see content that is proper for their age in terms of developmental level and reading ability. New websites, pictures and videos are added to KidZui every day. When a young user tries to watch a video outside of KidZui, it will be reviewed and, if proper, added — often within a matter of hours.

Besides, parents can change the content available, add and take out some websites and see what their kids are viewing online. And KidZui sends out a weekly report of their kids' recent searches and interests so that parents can plan family activities around their kids' interests. After a 30-day free trial (试用) period, parents who sign up can take advantage of our special rates of $4.95 per month or $49.95 per year, a 50 percent discount (折扣) from standard rates of $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year.
