6.We're a nation-a globe,in fact-obsessed with out hair.Analysts estimate the global hair products industry to be worth£22.6billion-and growing at a rate of up to seven per cent a year.
There seems to be no limit on what we'll spend to avoid a bad hair day.But for devotees of an underground beauty movement,the secret lies in throwing away the shampoo,in fact all the hair products,for good.
The"no-poo"method,which involves using natural substitutes or just water in place of shampoo and conditioner,is supported by several circles.
Beauty insiders,including writers for women's magazines and professional hairdressers,speak highly of how hair becomes thicker,fuller,softer and brighter.
And environmentalists who are mindful with money feel great joy at the lack of chemicals in and on their bodies-not to mention the impact on their budgets.
Now one devotee is hoping to take it mainstream.Lucy Aitken Read,whose book Happy Hair:The definitive guide to giving up shampoo was released last week,hasn't used shampoo for two years and her glowing brown hair is visibly in perfect condition.
For her,the motivation came after reading a study that claimed women put 515chemicals on their bodies daily."I initially thought‘Ha!They didn't research me!'"Aitken Read says."Then I looked at the back of my shampoo bottle and realized there were loads of chemical components I didn't recognize in the slightest."
Strangely it's oily hair that could benefit the most from giving up shampoo.The theory behind the‘no-poo'method is that shampoo removes the hair of its natural oils,which causes the scalp(头皮)to generate more oils to replace them.This results in oil overload-oily hair-which we then attempt to‘fix'with more shampoo/It's a vicious(恶性的)circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry,because the more shampoo you use,the more you need to use and the more frequently you need to use it.
Left to its own devices or washed with natural substitutes,the scalp eventually theoretically returns to its natural balance.The result should be healthier hair that is stronger,thicker and fuller as it is less damaged than shampooed hair.
28.What can we know from the first paragraph?D
A.More and more people produce hair products.
B.More and more people waste money on their hair.
C.More and more hair products are wasted every year
D.More and more hair products are produced every year.
29.Environmentalists are in favor of"no-poo"method becauseB.
A.they have the same chemicals as shampoo has
B.it helps reduce their budgets on daily expenses in a way
C.natural substitutes are friendly to the environment
D.they know shampoo has an impact on their health
30.What can we learn from Lucy's words?A
A.She didn't realize shampoo contains so many harmful chemicals
B.She didn't realize shampoo contains all the necessary chemicals
C.She couldn't recognize the description on the shampoo bottle.
D.She didn't recognize she was quite different from other women.
31.What is the main trouble with shampoo?D
A.It adds more oil to the hair
B.It prevents the scalp producing oil.
C.It badly impacts the shampoo industry
D.It makes people addicted to using it more often.

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.

A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.

It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.

I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!

1.The author uses what Dr. Goodall says to show__________.

A. how we can develop our business

B. why it is important to be great

D. how we can change the world positively

A. There are few homeless dogs where the author lives

B. The author takes homeless dogs home and raises them

C. Seeing homeless dogs makes the author never waste food

3.The author took the leftover fish with him to____________.

A. feed a homeless dog he met

B. eat it when he was hungry

C. look for more homeless animals

D. set an example to those who throw away food

4.The author wrote the text to ask us to__________.

A. value our food B. treat dogs as our friends

Anger often makes us uncomfortable. When you find your anger too uncomfortable to process, please let it go. But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.

Some kids deal with anger by creating a "false self": a child who is perfect for their parents. People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character.

How do we keep kids from creating false selves? We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid, our expressions of our emotions are within our control.

People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them. Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong, that "happy families" are never angry, or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear, we can teach our children that anger is OK. Anger is natural, it is normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.

1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. Anger makes us uncomfortable.

B. Anger is difficult to deal with.

C. Parents often lose their temper at home.

D. Parents should model a good anger style.

2.What would a child be like if he developed a “false self”?

A. Polite and optimistic.

B. Perfect and helpful.

C. Negative and indirect.

D. Rude and dishonest.

3.What’s the main purpose of the last 2 paragraphs?

A. To give tips to create healthier anger.

B. To suggest ways to avoid anger.

C. To show the harm anger does to kids.

D. To stress the importance of expressing anger.

4.In which part of a website can we read the passage?

A. Food& Recipes

B. Psychology & Health

C. Life & Entertainment

D. School& Education
