【题目】"Only a few years and you'll be an adult!"It's true that in two years I'll be 18,and that will make me legally an adult.But it's also just a number.It doesn't come with a magical moment where you know all the stuff adults are supposed to know how to do.It doesn't make responsibilities easier.It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes and work at Walmart(沃尔玛).You can start being a "grown up" long before then or long after.

This thought all started hack in July when my friend,Dakota,officially flew out for military basic training in Oklahoma.He's 17.He can't rent a movie from most places,but he can defend our country.I didn't realize how much his actual departure would affect me arid the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.

Then,in September,my best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London.She's 18.She's worked ridiculously hard,and slaved over textbooks to get the perfect grades.Now,she's booking her own plane tickets,going grocery shopping,being in complete control of' her personal life.I have a basic idea of how a loan works,but applying for one?Forget it.I don't even have a credit card.My other friends are growing up around me,making decisions,that will affect the rest of their life.Where do I fit in?My life is so different from the standard,it's hard to compare.I'm home-schooled.I have been fashion blogging since I was 13,an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world.Earlier this year,I landed my first Teen Vogue feature and worked with the Disney Channel.But if you add that up,it doesn't equal adult,it equals an accomplished teenager.

I made myself a list of "Things to Learn Before I Grown Up".Number one?Figure out the whole loan thing.But it's also important to me to enjoy being young.I like having my mom cook for me,and getting to just be goofy(傻瓜的)sometimes without worry.So in conclusion,my point is this: being a grownup is less about your age,and more about what you do with your life.

Dogs wag (摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras.To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years old.The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University.The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow them to view various stimuli.They were tested one at a time.

The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—their tails wagged energetically to the right side.When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm.The appearance of a cat again caused a righthand side wag, although with less intensity again.The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left.Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back.When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company.While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood of dogs.Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

【题目】阅读填空

The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids. 【1】 Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what’s appropriate for our family:

Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn’t a big issue if you’re not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.” 【2】

Don’t trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn’t take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. 【3】 There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.

【4】 The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I’m aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention(干涉).

Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can’t shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn’t fit exactly with our values. They’re going to hear a swear word from time to time—and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we’re watching are kissing. 【5】

A. If it doesn’t feel good, turn it off.

B. And be aware of cartoons!

C. We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible.

D. The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.

E. But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?

F. Watch TV with them.

G. Still, a little bit of television doesn’t hurt and can be fun.
