Do you sometimes find it difficult to communicate (交流) with your parents? The following tips (提示) may help.

Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask your parents questions about their day: “How is work?” They love this.

Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion (观点), let them finish, and don’t stop them halfway. Ask them to do the same for you.

Show them your respect (尊敬) by listening to them carefully. Look at them in the eye.

Be honest (诚实的). Honesty builds trust (信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.

If your parents don’t understand, that’s ok. They love you and they are trying. Sometimes you need to explain (解释) things to them again or in a different way.

When you finish the talk, remember to thank them for listening. Say something like “Thanks. That really helped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do it more often.

It's said that eyes are the windows of our soul. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look attractive. However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.
Pay more attention to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as well as fish, eggs and milk. Besides, a regular amount (数量) of Vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.
A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes the eye muscles (肌肉) and gives them the rest. Sleep not only helps the body to repair its tired tissues (组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eyes.
You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery and gives them a good wash.
We use our eyes in many unnoticeable and wrong ways. For example, if a small thing goes into our eye, we start rubbing (揉) it, which is wrong. Rubbing can cause damage to your eyes. Don't read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Today, we'll visit a place of strange and silent beauty. As beautiful as this place is, its name provides evidence of very real danger. We are exploring Death Valley National Park (死亡谷国家公园).
Death Valley is a huge place. It extends more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state (州) of Nevada. Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous desert and mountains. There are mountains that reach more than 3,000 meters into the sky.
Much of Death Valley is flat and dry. In some areas the ground is nothing but salt. Nothing is able to grow in this salty ground. However, it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. The valley is full of life. Wildflowers grow very quickly after even a small amount of rain. Several kinds of birds live in Death Valley, as do mammals and reptiles. Many different snakes live there too.
The area got its name in 1849. That was the year after gold was discovered (发现) in California. Thousands of people from around the country traveled to the gold mining areas of the state. They were in a hurry to get there before other people did. One group trying to reach California decided to take a path called the Old Spanish Trail. By December they had reached Death Valley. But there was a lack (短缺) of water and there were too few plants for their work animals to eat. The people could not find a pass through the tall mountains to the west of the valley. Slowly, they began to suffer from a lack of food. To survive, they killed their work animals for food and began to walk out of the valley. As they left, a woman in the group looked back and said, "Goodbye, death valley." The name has never been changed.
Death Valley became a national park in 1994. More than one million people visit the park each year.
（1）The text is most probably from ________.
A.a story book
B.a radio program
C.a science magazine
D.a news report
（2）Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.
A.Death Valley is full of life
B.much of Death Valley is flat and dry
C.nothing can grow in this salty ground
D.different animals live in Death Valley
（3）Why did the woman call the area death valley?
A.Because the group of people didn’t know how to walk out of the valley.
B.Because lots of people died here.
C.Because the woman was left behind and would die here.
D.Because the group of people lived a hard life here and their work animals were killed.
（4）Which of the following statements is NOT right?
A.Death Valley extends from California to Nev ada.
B.Wildlife can live in Death Valley.
C.Gold was discovered in California after Death Valley got its name.
D.Death Valley didn't become a national park until 1994.

One of the world’s most important and lovely animals is quickly disappearing (消失). Can you guess which one it is? It 【1】 (have) the longest neck among all animals. Yes, it’s the giraffe.

People think giraffes are everywhere. Kids’ books are full of giraffes, and there 【6】 (be) always giraffes in zoos. But giraffes are in great danger now. Humans 【7】 (stop) killing off certain endangered wild animals and try hard to help save them.
