【题目】Clones in Fiction

Stories featuring clones always draw me in. I've read enough fiction books about clones over the years. _【1】

The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna

2 Eva is Amarra's clone. She learns what Amarra learns in school, eats what she eats, and studies every last detail of her life. The trouble is, no matter how hard she studies, outside of their appearances Eva and Amarra aren't that much alike. To make matters more complex, she learns Amarra has a boyfriend she must learn to love as much as she does when her own heart secretly belongs to someone else.

When Amarra is killed in a car crash just after their 16th birthday, Eva has to pick up her life where she left it off. Her life depends on convincing Amarra's loved ones that she is Amarra. _3

The House of Scorpion, by Nancy Farmer

This is not just one of my favorite books about clones, but one of my favorite books. Between the border of the United States and Aztlan, which was once Mexico, lies Opium, a land ruled by drug lords(毒枭). El Patron is the most powerful drug lord in Opium, a man almost 20 years old. 4

Matt is El Patron's clone. El Patron has been using clones like Matt to keep himself alive. But before he is needed, the drug lord treats him like a prized pet. El Patron's family dislikes him, thinking him inhuman and a possible threat((威胁) to their inheritance(遗产). The older he gets, the more Matt feels trapped at every turn. 5

【题目】Kid’s health: Four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 【1】 Some ways of dealing with stress—like screaming or hitting someone-don’t solve(解决)much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1)Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 2 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2)Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself. 3

(3)Try to solve the problem. After you’re calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 4 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 5

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.

C. Different people feel stress in different ways.

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E. You need to figure out what the problem is.

F. And don’t forget about your friends.

G. Then, find a way to calm down.
