Never waste food!You know,children in some African countries die of_________（饥饿）every day.

Why do some parents tend to hold back their disabled children from experiencing life? Even when they are grown, the parents will not allow certain things to happen. It's true that they do have a certain amount of responsibility in protecting their severely disabled adult child, but at what point do they become overly protective?

Parents want to create a safe haven, a place where they know that nothing bad will happen to their beloved child. This seems to be a respectable and notable act in caring for a person with a disability, but it can have a side effect. When protecting their child from suspected hardships, not wanting anything bad to happen to them, they very well may be preventing good things from happening to them.

In life we all make mistakes, it is how we are able to grow and strengthen our character. Parents may feel that in certain instances their child will get hurt or mistreated in some way, so they build walls in their own minds convincing themselves of the need to shelter. However, the disabled, yes even the “severely disabled” deserve to make personal mistakes as well. Even more, they have the right to succeed.

Parents should do everything and anything within their power to see their disabled children lead a somewhat “normal” life. Parents should help their children, not hold them down. This could make them think they are unworthy and that their parents do not believe in them.

Whatever it may be, let them at least try. If they want to attend college, so be it. Parents should find out all they can, and be involved in every detail. Get to know the aides, experience it with them. If they want to dare and someday marry, so be it. Don't shut them out and form bad or critical opinions about them just because you are afraid. Unite as a family and make it work.

1.What side effect will it have when the parents overprotect their disabled children?

A. Their children will never grow up in the future.

B. Their children will find no shelter when they grow up.

C. Their children will become less confident when facing troubles.

D. Their children will less likely meet with good things.

2.What attitude does the author hold towards the parents who overprotect their disabled children?

A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Uninterested.

3.The suggestions in the last paragraph imply that ________.

A. parents should be a bridge, not a brick wall

B. parents should act as their children’s best friends

C. parents should encourage their children to get married

D. parents should live in harmony with their disabled children

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Living Within Parents’ Power

B. Letting Your Disabled Child Succeed

C. Getting out of a Brick Wall in Their Life

D. Helping Your Disabled Child out of Trouble

Do’s and Don’ts of Donating

Giving up your unused or unwanted stuff is a great way to make space in your home for the items that you do enjoy on a regular basis. 1.Here are 10 do's and don'ts of donating your belongings.

Do Prep Your Clothes

You've thoroughly cleaned out your closets and drawers, and have a mountain of clothing waiting to be donated．Before you bag up these pieces, inspect each one to ensure that they’re in good condition. Make sure all buttons are accounted for, and that you can't see any stains. 2.

Don’t Donate Damaged Items

The number one rule of donating your stuff is to make sure that it' s in good, useable condition. Don’t pass along clothes or furniture with rips(裂口) or stains, chipped dishes, books that are missing pages, or games with lost pieces. 3.Find a local company that will recycle these items instead.

Do Donate More Than Just Clothes

4. Stuffed animals, framed pictures, unused candles, small power tools, sports equipment, ornaments, baskets, blenders, dishes, glassware, utensils, silverware, pots and pans, curtains, blankets, toasters, mixers, pillows, towels, bed sheets, bikes, and exercise equipment are much sought after donations.

5.

With a little common sense it's easy to figure out items that are ideal for donation．But unfortunately some people will throw away the contents of their home without a second thought. As a gentle reminder, it’s never a good idea to donate car parts, flammable products, construction materials, weapons, or explosives.

A．Nobody wants to inherit your damaged belongings.

B．Food donations are always in need.

C．Don’t Even Think of Donating These Items

D．Not sure where to start?

E．Don’t Donate Large Appliances

F．Clothes aren't the only household items that can be donated．

G．Wash the items to make them fresh and ready for their new owner.

“I see you’ve got a bit of water on your coat,’’ said the man at the petrol station. ‘‘Is it raining out there?’’ ‘‘No. it’s pretty nice,” I replied, checking my sleeve. “Oh, right. A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.”

As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I'd jumped in ahead of him.

The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist—heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite signs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移).

The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stopped from feeding on their mothers’ milk, and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England.

Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near—disaster a few miles west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again.

Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially—troubled elements.

1.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies?

A. To protect the tourists from being bitten.

B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station.

C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger.

D. To prevent the ponies from fighting.

2.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is _________.

A. to feed baby ponies on milk

B. to control the number of ponies

C. to expand the habitat for ponies

D. to sell the ponies at a good price

3.What was the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back?

A. He freed it from the trap.

B. He called a protection officer.

C. He worried about it very much.

D. He thought of it as being naughty.

4.What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor’s ponies?

A. It lacks people’s involvement.

B. It costs a large amount of money.

C. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor.

D. It has caused an imbalance of species.

If you do someone a______________ (喜爱，恩惠) , you do something for them even though you do not have to.

根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Which is much more significant to you when you are finding a job? Working experience or an advanced-degree? Well, I believe diverse people have different answers. 1. Here are following reasons:

Above of all, most of jobs don’t require such a high degree, which means just some few works, such as, theoretical physics, archaeology, or literature, need high academic qualification. 2. For example, when you are offering a department manager post, there is a man who has already been a manager for three years but only have a master’s degree and a no-experienced person with doctor’s degree, which one would you choose? Definitely the first one for the manager don’t acquire a doctor’s degree but rich working experience.

3. For instance, Bill Gates, who was the richest man in the world and also one of the most successful merchant. What a wise choice when he decided to abandon studying so that he can gain more working experience instead of a doctor’s degree. Or Steve Paul Jobs, who discontinue his study at his age of nineteen in order to become a personnel of a computer company just like Bill Gates. 4.

5. Maybe you shouldn’t have to gain an advanced or highest degree, but that doesn’t mean nothing. Probably a bachelor’s degree is still necessary in this fierce-competition society.

All in all, I think rich working experience is much more important than the advanced-degree.

A. However, a degree is still required for most people.

B. Meanwhile, rich working experience will draw more attention.

C. Secondly, plenty of experience will bring you success much earlier.

D. In my view, either working experience or advanced-degree counts.

E. As for me, I will say working experience without hesitation.

F. As a matter of fact, more people with rich working experience become successful.

G. From all of these, we can see that advanced-degree isn’t so necessary as working experience.
