The idea was inspired by a 10-year-old named Sean, the son of Kristi Rodriguez, who organizes the way people work together in the shelter.“The program will help children improve their reading skills while also helping the shelter animals. Cats find the rhythmic sound of a voice very comforting and soothing.” the shelter explained.Once a child finishes reading five books, they are rewarded with prizes, such as snacks. Not to mention, they are given the opportunity to develop their reading skills while also doing their part to care for the animals.If you happen to talk to people who have never owned a cat or dont like cats, they will probably tell you that cats dont show affection, or they are proud, cool and remote in character. But that is not true. The cats in Berks County, despite not having permanent homes, can be seen showing lots of loving affection towards the children.You can donate money to the shelter through its website, or visit it on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social networking websites.21 We know from the text that “Book Buddies”_A encourages kids to read to their pets B was founded by Kristi RodriguezC welcome children in grades 1-8 D was named by a 10-year-old boy22 The underlined word “soothing ” in Paragraph 3 probably means _A confident B relaxing C familiar D unforgettable23 What is the authors attitude towards the project?A Uncertain B Supportive C Uninterested D SurprisedBOver the holidays, I took my three young children into a fancy chocolate shop to buy some gift. Halfway home, I noticed my 7-year-old son playing with a plastic noisemaker. Long story short: He had stolen the toy. I kept my cool-even when he said , “but it was only 1.50, Mum!” and explained why it was unacceptable to take things we didnt buy.A few hours later, I marched my son back to the store with two dollars from his piggy bank. He walked embarrassedly to the counter and told the clerk that he had taken something without paying for it, that he was sorry to break it and that he would pay for it now.I know exactly how awful he was feeling .Returning to the scene of the crime is the same shame-causing punishment I received when I was five and stole something from a store. I remember my dad sending me back to return the item. It remains one of my clearest childhood memories. After that day, I never stole again. My dad taught me such an important lesson 30 years ago and I saw an opportunity to do the same for my son. But now I wondered if it was the right thing to do.“Returning to the store is absolutely the right thing to do,” Laura Markham, Ph.D., a child psychologist and the author of Peaceful Parents, Happy Kids, says. “Many children steal-they are not born knowing the rules so it is our job to teach them.”And stay calm when you set them. “If you overreact or yell, you might create a fascination with the behavior and a willful child will be more likely to fight against you,” she says . Having a child physically return the stolen item helps him or her grasp the situationand the consequence. But dont talk about it for too long. “If you continuously bring up the incident, the child will believe they are a thief and that they are bad, she says.”Only time will tell if this experience will have the same powerful effect on my son as it had on me , but in the meantime I can rest assured that I havent handled the situation badly.24 When the authors son was caught playing with a stolen toy, he_ A responded calmly B felt very ashamed C didnt think it was a big deal D didnt admit stealing the toy 25 The author punished her son like that because_ A her father asked her to do so B it had been popular for 30 years C she knew it was the right thing to do D the same punishment had worked on her26 According to Laura Markham , if parents yell at their kids stealing behavior, the kids may_. A be scared B steal again C think they are bad D remember the scene clearly27 What does the author think of Laura Markhams words? A They are doubtful B They are unacceptable C They help her to feel relieved D They have taught her a good lessonCDo you know what kind of learner you are?
