2、 6-year-old South Carolina boy named Bell would spend his special day in The Happiest Place On Earth.And, as local TV station reports, he was pretty close to realizing that dream, planning for a visit to Disneys Animal Kingdom just in time for his seventh birthday this month.Then he heard the story
3、of the hurricane: how it transformed the Bahamas into the unhappiest place on Earthand how it continues to churn up(搅动)the East Coast, leaving tears in its wake.How could Bell dream of Disney World when so many others were living a nightmare?So the boy gathered his savingsand went to the grocery sto
4、re. Instead of a romp(嬉闹)in Disneys Animal Kingdom, Bell bought much-needed food and water for thousands of people forced to leave their homes in advance of the storm.“The people that are traveling to go to places, I wanted them to have some food to eat, so they can enjoy the ride to the place that
5、theyre going to stay at,” Bell told a reporter. Indeed, Bell made it hard for anyone to miss his offer. He pulled a couple of homemade signs to Highway 125 in Allendale with the words Free hot dogs and water on them. And he stood at the side of that highway, calling out to motorists, many of them ti
6、red and traumatized after leaving their homes behind. In all, he served more than 100 evacuees(被撤离者).I am very proud, his grandmother Aretha Grant told CNN. We knew Bell was very special, but we didnt know he was special in this way, to be such a giver like this.Indeed, at his little stand in Allend

10、bly have noticed that there are certain jobs youre just not supposed to do if youre a girl. However, a lot is happening today to get women into maledominated(男性主导的)areas of work. This International Womens Day, we look at three areas of work where things are tough for women right now-but where change
11、 is happening.Science and researchThe situation todayHave you heard of STEM? STEM means science, technology, engineering and maths. It covers a whole range of jobs, from scientists who research cures for diseases, to engineers who design things like buildings, roads and bridges. These jobs are highl
12、y skilled. But of every eight people in a STEM job, only one is a woman.Why we need more women in scienceThe lack of women in STEM jobs is becoming a national problem. The government is worried there simply wont be enough scientists and engineers in the future. This could affect the whole economy be
13、cause, as a country, we can sell our technology and skills to other countries. STEM jobs also create more work further down the line, such as for construction workers who build roads and bridge.The policeIn March 2015, the percentage of female police officers stood at 28%. This compares with 22% nin
14、e years earlier in 2006. And the percentage has not always risen over this period. In fact, it peaked(顶峰)in 2010 before falling, before flatlining over the next three years.Why we need more women in the police forceThe police are there for the whole community and that includes women! Because crime i
15、s often to do with sex, or violence by men against women, a woman police officer might be more understanding or more approachable. Studies also suggest that women tend to trust other women more than men. Women can also be more understanding. Often, when a person comes forward to report an incident,
16、such as a problem at home or with neighbours, women are often better at listening and at understanding other peoples problems, while men are more likely to be dismissive.8What do we learn about women in Paragraph 1?AThey are hard to find jobs. BThey have a wider choice of jobs.CThey change jobs at t
17、imes. DThey act better in doing mans jobs.9What could be the consequence of the lack of women in science?AIt creates more jobs.BIt leads to national chaos.CIt influences the economic development.DIt brings about the technological revolution.10What can be inferred from the studies on female police?AM

19、ce. BWomens advantages.CMan-dominated careers. DAnother area of work. In 2006, documents were published by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They suggested that cloned animals and cloned animal products would be allowed into the American food supply.The FDA has stated that cloned
20、 animal products are safe for consumption, and has performed many studies to support this view. In fact, products from cloned animals have already been eaten by some Americans without ill effects. The FDA analyzed the structure(结构)and content of cloned animal products and compared it with that of tr
21、aditionally reproduced animals, and discovered no statistical difference between the two.Consumers raised serious concerns about cloned animals. The first is the question of whether or not cloned tissue and animal products are truly safe. The second is that many clones are also genetically modified(
22、转基因的)animals, which the FDA has said are unsafe for human consumption. The third is that consumers want to be able to choose what they put into their bodies.The first concern about cloned animals is almost unnecessary due to the price of producing a clone. Making a clone needs hard work and is very
23、costly. These clones live spoiled lives because they are very valuable, despite biologists warning that cloned animals decrease diversity.The second concern, about genetic modification of cloned animals, is more problematic. It may be very difficult to separate genetically modified animals from norm
24、al ones. The purpose of genetically modified cloned animals is unclear, and the FDA hasnt allowed their products onto the market, due to health concerns, but the risk of genetic pollution of healthy animals still exists.Finally, the matter of choice is a large one. Many animal rights activists are w
25、orried about clone rights because cloned or not, the animals still have lives. Other consumers are simply trying to eat healthy foods, and have doubts about the cloned animals. If the FDA does not make labeling (贴标签)laws, people may not be able to make informed choices about their food.12Why did the
26、 FDA allow cloned animal products for consumption?AThey appeal to consumers very much.BThey differ from traditional animal products.CThey taste better than normal animal products.DThey have been proved safe in several aspects.13What do we know about producing clones of animals?AIt takes much more ef
27、forts and money. BIt provides some new medical benefits.CIt needs less time than raising animals. DIt helps increase the diversity of animals.14What can be inferred from the last paragraph?ACloned animals should be forbidden to enter market.BCloned animals should have the same rights as humans.CLaws
28、 should be made to protect peoples right to choose food.DAnimal rights activists are strongly against cloned animal products.15Whats the text mainly about?ADoubts about cloned animals rights. BDiscussions about how to clone animals.CConcerns about animal cloning technology. DWorries about cloned ani

Actually many factors(因素)can cause reading problems.16 Here are a few things you can do to help your kid become a better reader.Read to your kid-and have hi

They are based on books. 19 If your goal is to get your kid interested in reading and improve his/her skills, what your kids reading is less important than how much
