                     How to love your parents

  Even if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents

is a normal and fulfilling part of life. You love them for the fact that they created 

you raised you,and are in part a source of who you are. Here are some ways to love 

your parents.

  5 A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart. Remember that

they brought you into this world.Without your parents, you might still wander at an 

unknown corner in an unknown world.

   Respect them more and cherish these moments. You can use these moments to learn 

from them, preparing yourself for when you're off on your own. It's OK to get angry 

but angry actions don't help you or your parents. Act calmly,cool off, write down your

feelings or talk to a friend. 6

   Obey their requests. It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect 

from them. It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you 

want or you have to clean. However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your

head when it's cold, raining, snowing, or too hot. Understand that parents are human 

beings and make mistakes. 7 Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your 

parents?

   Keep company with them. Do things with your parents like watching TV,or go 

somewhere with them. 8 Listen to their old stories and learn from them. You will find 

they are your teachers in this way or another.

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments—mostly for entertainment purposes―is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain "collections" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lone?ly, and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned any?thing meaningful about the animals' natural behaviour, in?telligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species' name, diet, and the natural range (分布区).The animals' normal behaviour is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals' natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive be?haviour called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that ele?phants spend 22 per cent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 per cent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endan?gered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖)of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resul?ted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programmes because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying custom?ers. Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons why-people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals' natural habitats.

1. In the state of zoochosis, animals  . 

A.remain in cages

B.behave strangely

C.attack other animals

D.enjoy moving around

2.What does the author try to argue in the passage?

A.Zoos are not worth the public support.

B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.

C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings.

D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

3.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his ar?gument mainly by .

A.pointing out the faults in what zoos do

B.using evidence he has collected at zoos

C.questioning the way animals are protected

D.discussing the advantages of natural habitats

4.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that . 

A.zoos have to keep animals in small cages

B.most animals in zoos are endangered species

C.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos

D.it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats

Scientists in theUKhave grown a living human "brain". The team at Aston University created a tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.

They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson's disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research programme. He explained, "We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual liv?ing human cell system. Cells have to be alive and oper?ating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works. The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumour (肿瘤)and making them be?have like brain cells.

Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could signifi?cantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, "It is still very early days, but in the future the re?search could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆)."

The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal tests and is being supported by the Humane Re?search Trust ( HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said, "We hope our research will provide scien?tists with a new and highly relational human experimen?tal model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. How?ever, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research.,,

China's new term, Tuhao, may be in next year's Oxford English Dictionary. The word caught the at?tention of the dictionary's editing team after BBC's re?cent programme on influential Chinese words. "If its in?fluence continues, it is very likely to appear on our up?dated list of words," said Julie Kleeman, project manag?er with the editing team.

In Chinese "tu" means uncouth(笨拙的)and "hao" means rich. It has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around inChina's coun?tryside. The word became more popular in September with the launch of Apple's new gold-coloured iPhone, which is loved byChina's rich people. The colour be?came known as "Tuhao gold". The word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. Kleeman also mentioned two other Chinese words―Dama and Hukou―which may also make it into the dictionary.

People can have an intuitive(直观的)grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, Kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an English word to keep the original meaning.

"We have nearly 120 Chinese-linked words now in Oxford English Dictionary," she said. Some of them are guanxi, which means connection and taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.

The new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. The online ver?sion is also renewed every three months. "It at least broke our old rules. It used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time," ac?cording to a statement from ex-chief-editor John Simpson.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE accord?ing to the text?

A.    Dama and Hukou have made it into Oxford Eng?lish Dictionary.

B.    Some influential Chinese words appeared on one of BBC's recent programmes.

C.    Tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.

D.    John Simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.

 

2.    What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.    Give orders to others.

B.    Get ready to help others.

C.    Go on a diet.

D.    Put on weight.


3.    Tuhao becomes more popular in September partly because   .

A.    it is very likely to appear in Oxford English Dictionary

B.    it is often used by the online community

C.    people use Chinese pinyin to keep the original meaning

D.    Apple launched a new gold-coloured iPhone


4.    The main idea of the text is that   .

A.    Tuhao may end up in Oxford English Dictiona?ry

B.    sometimes pinyin makes Chinese words better understood

C.    Tuhao has a new meaning at the present time

D.    Ox ford English Dictionary includes new words faster than before
