Students often meet with questions as follows: bullied by someone, worried about a weak subject, puzzled by family problems or concerned about pets at home. All the questions above may make you not concentrated on your study. Who can you turn to if you are such an unlucky student? A great person to share your thoughts and feelings with is your school counselor (顾问).

    Add school counselors to the list of people you can turn to when you need help. They know how to listen and can help kids with life's challenges (挑战). Counselors have special training in how to help kids solve problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves. That doesn't mean your counselor will wave a magic wand and the problem will go away. But it does mean he or she will help you cope with it. Coping is an important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult problems. Coping means that someone is trying to handle these problems and make things better.

Your school counselor is available for you and wants to make your school experience the best it can be. The counselor's job is to take your problem seriously and help you find a solution.

A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引语）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto. The study of Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante’s “Follow your own path and don’t worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”

The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperatures could mean the end for some migrating animals.

Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the World to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles(海龟) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm. "Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough, "said the report author Dr. Robert Hepworth.

Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.

With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes.

Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:

the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows.

·the White-Nose Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.

The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. "We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level. The clock is running," said Dr. Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.

What is the main topic of the text ?

       A．The effect of climate change on migrating animals.

       B．How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.

       C．The actions required to save migrating animals.

       D．The need for government policies to prevent global warming.

By saying "The clock is running" in the last paragraph, Dr. Hepworth means that" ______"

       A．it may be too late to save some animals

       B．it is time to start protecting the animals

       C．there is not much time to solve the problem

       D．it takes time to complete the actions

       A．They will only produce female babies.

WhVich of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?

       A．More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.

       B．20 percent of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.

       C．Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly.

D．Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.

What can be inferred about turtles from the text?

       A．They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer.

       B．They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean-based animals.

       C．Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female.

       D．Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years.
