1.If you want to teach children to read,below you will find some ideas to encourage reading in our children.(36)BBut remember,simplicity is the truth.The biggest encouragement comes from us-the parents.Children who come from a home where the parents read personally,value reading and have reading materials readily available are much more likely to become readers themselves.
Make books available and accessible(可接近的).Children who become readers almost always come from homes where books and other reading materials are present throughout the house.Don't put your children's books out the way where your child cannot see them or cannot reach them himself.(37)D
Read yourself.(38)GIf your children see that you read,that you choose to read,and that you enjoy reading,they are more likely to develop the same habit and pursue the same activity.
(39)CThere are so many inexpensive,good books out there and something given or received as a gift becomes more valuable and cherished.My children routinely receive books as gifts from their grandmother,and they get so excited when they see her coming with them.They value books because they are valued by the important people in their lives.
Above all,make your read-aloud sessions(时间) fun.This is a great start to teach children to read because children love to make sound effects.(40)EFor example,in Cinderella we always make the sound of the clock chiming as it strikes midnight,"Dong…dong…dong."We make knocking sounds as we read The Three Little Pigs when the wolf knocks on each of the three little pigs'doors.The kids really seem to like this added interaction and activity as we read.

A.Turn off the TV and provide quiet time.
B.Some of these ideas are very simple and basic.
C.Give books as gifts at birthday time or whenever.
D.Put the books near the floor within their reach.
E.Try to add them wherever you can when you read aloud.
F.He really enjoys being able to pick out his very own books.
G.Being a role model to your children is the best way to teach children to read.

11.What is the number one favourite pet in the UK?If you think the answer is"dog"-you are wrong.There are 8.6million cats and 8.3million dogs in Britain according to recent figures.But experts predict (预测) that there will be more dogs than cats next year as dogs become more and more popular.
Dogs as accessories (配饰)
We like to spend time with our pets.The Queen is famous for her corgis (威尔士矮脚狗) and is often photographed with them.Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme-a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants.Chihuahuas (吉娃娃犬) are especially popular as"handbag dogs"because they are so small.
Dog holidays
People are also giving their pets holidays.Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests.What about owners who go abroad?They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away.Some even provide their canine (犬) guests with a TV.
Dogs are for life
The British charity,Dogs Trust,finds homes for thousands of lost and homeless dogs every year.Their famous slogan"A dog is for life and not just for Christmas"was created in the 1970s to teach people about the responsibility of owning a dog.Dogs Trust told British people not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys.
Dogs on TV
Victoria Sitwell is the host of the popular TV programme called"It's me or the dog".In the show Victoria helps dog owners with their pets'bad behavior.She tries to find solutions to problems such as a Dalmatian who thinks he owns the house and won't let the family sit on the sofa,dogs that will only eat ice cream and biscuits and even a bulldog who uses the owner's bed as a toilet.Yuck!
Fashion for dogs
You can shop online or on the high street for the latest in dog clothes and accessories.Specialist shops sell items such as dog boots,dog fancy dress costumes,dog coats,dog dresses and dog pants.
56.What does the article mainly talk about?B
A.Cats as number one favorite pet in the UK.

18.If you have a daughter,take the time to read this.It could save her a lot of heartache.Not to mention stomach aches,headaches,missed days of school,lower grades,eating issues and depression.
The sad truth is that every school,whether public or private,has mean girls.I bet you can still even remember who they are from your school.As a school consultant and mother of three daughters,I know firsthand both personally and professionallyhow much it hurts when girls are targeted by bullies(恃强凌弱者).
The old saying"sticks and stones may break my bones,but words will never hurt me,"couldn't be further from the truth.While boys usually bully through intimidation (胁迫),girls bully through exclusion,also called relational aggression.Here's an example of a case of relational bullying,taken from my experience as a school consultant:
"Heather"was miserable because a girl in her class,"Leslie,"was not only saying mean things to her face,but getting the other girls in the class to exclude her with the age old line"You can't be friends with me,if you're friends with her."In our sessions,Heather would complain that she didn't have anyone to play with because girls were afraid that if they hung around her they'd become Leslie's next target.
In order to improve the situation,I had to not only reduce the power Leslie had,but empower Heather as well.Here are some ideas that helped,adapted for use by parents:
Ask for specifics when your daughter mentions bullying.Who?Where?How?
Tell the principal and classroom teacher the specifics of how she is being bullied.Have them tell other teachers (i.e.,gym,art,music),hallway monitors and cafeteria staff so that everyone who comes in contact with her can be on the lookout and ready to interfere.
Explain to her that reporting an incident is not the same as tattling(打小报告),and have her tell an adult at school when she is being bullied.
Teach her to convey self-confidence by walking confidently,with her head up.Bullies target those they think are weaker.
Arrange opportunities for your daughter to socialize with her friends outside of school to help her maintain a strong social support system.
In Heather's case,these steps relieved the problem.But because it's tougher to catch girl bullies,it's extremely important for girls to tell an adult if they are being bullied.Unlike boys,who usually bully physically,mean girls often spread rumors,whisper as their target walks by,talk loudly about a party she wasn't invited to,give her the silent treatment,and as discussed above,tell others not to be friends with her.School personnel are there to help,but in order to do anything they must know a problem exists!
Bullying from mean girls
Passage outlineSupporting details
Different forms of girl bullying◇refusing to (71)include someone in groups
◇(72)threateningothers not to befriend someone
◇spreading rumors about someone
◇treating someone with (73)coldness

◇Inform the school staff to interfere with bullying.
◇Encourage kids to (78)seekhelp when bullied.
◇Develop confidence in your kids to (79)avoidshowing weakness.
◇Help kids to gain support by (80)socializingwith friends.
ConclusionThe problem of girl bullying can be solved by joint effort.
