At the age of 16, Clara Barton was advised to become a teacher since she was quite shy. She taught in Massachusetts for ten years, and was invited to Bordentown, New Jersey to teach in a school. She saw that these communities needed complimentary education for their citizens, and she took action by creating a free school, one of the first in her state. But later, ignoring her, officials named a male instead as the head teacher. Disappointed, she left her job and moved to Washington D.C., becoming the first woman employed by the US Patent Office.
Clara Barton was forever changed by her experience with the army in the Civil War. She saw doctors use leaves when dealing with injuries since they had nothing else. The medical supplies were well behind the army, who were moving faster than their medical supply lines. She brought in a truck of medical supplies that she collected personally some years ago. Miss Barton continued to work on the battlefields throughout the war.
She helped in the identification of 13,000 dead Union soldiers. This non-stop work made her fully exhausted, and upon recommendation by her physicians, she traveled to Europe where she recovered energy and enriched herself.
While in Europe, and still in poor health, Miss Barton was moved by the hardship on people brought about by the France-Prussia war. She helped in their relief effort, which encouraged her to create the Red Cross, which served the whole army and common people under a neutral flag.
Clara Barton returned to America and then began the establishment of the American Red Cross. The US government did not think there would ever be another war after the Civil War. But she convinced them that the Red Cross would be valuable to serve in times of natural disasters as well. This was her lasting legacy (遗产), an agency that still provides aid to all people today.

How can you help kids cope with (对付)stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available.
Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day -- especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.
Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.
You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.
Remember that some level of stress is normal, Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely, or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.
When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts.
Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.
1.What is the purpose of the text?
A. To share the author’s ideas on proper parenting.
B. To persuade parents to spend more time with their kids.
C. To advise parents how to help their kids deal with stress.
D. To seek different ways to help solve kids’ problems.
2.Why do some parents feel it difficult to spare quality time for their kids?
A. Their kids are growing so fast. B. They have too much housework.
C. Their kids are losing interest in them. D. They are tired out after work.
3.You are advised not to talk too much about a stressful situation in advance because ________.
A. it does no good to your kids B. it doesn’t work in practice
C. your kids may not feel stressed D. your kids don’t want to listen
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. Normal people share the same feelings.
B. It is normal for kids to have some stress.
C. Kids should get rid of the negative feelings.
D. Everybody feels angry, scared, lonely or anxious.

读写任务 (共1小题,满分25分)阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Drunk driving, a major concern currently, is not a funny thing, which has killed many people and ruined the lives of many others. At present, traffic accidents become "the world's first harm".
Two months ago, after drinking a lot of alcohol, my friend's uncle drove the car home. He was heavily drunk, but he still drove home by himself. On the road near his home, an old lady was going across the road, but his uncle didn't notice her and he was still moving on under the influence of alcohol. And the old lady didn't see his uncle, either. In the end, the lady died. Later, a blood test showed the alcohol in every 100 cc of his uncle's blood had reached 175.7 mg, indicating he was seriously drunk.
Had it not been for his uncle's drunkenness, the terrible accident would not have happened. If the lady hadn't died, she would live a happy life with her daughters and sons. And his uncle's home was also destroyed by his uncle. Therefore, two families were destroyed.
I wish more people could realize the seriousness of drunk driving and obey the traffic regulations faithfully. Always remember: refuse to drink and drive, and give a safe world to you and me!
