18、 doll as she goes about her school day. Raquel, aged 12, attends classes for students with mild to serious disabilities. Having her favorite frog doll Kermit by her side makes school life much easier for her, yet there are still times when Kermits cheery presence isnt enough to help her through her

19、anxiety. One day Raquel was having a hard time changing halfway from inside the classroom to outside. Several teachers approached Raquel as she held Kermit tight and walked back and forth in the hallway, yet none could get through to the child. After nearly an hour, school resource officer Chris Mor

20、rison happened to wander by to see if she could help.Chris herself was a teacher for high-risk students in Los Angeles for twelve years before joining the Santa Rosa Police.

21、itation Chris approached the student and bean to speak to her in a comforting voice. Chris did something simple yet extraordinary: she began to sing.

22、e famous by Kermit the Frog himself.Raquels face lights up in a beautiful smile as she turns to her teacher as if to say, “Shes singing my song!”“The three of us were standing there in awe,” said Assistant Principal Jessica Romero, adding that she wasnt the least bit surprised that this kind act cam

27、od to get through to a child.CSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is

28、 that one ofSteins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are banned in some

29、 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists likeSteintomake the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shopperstopurchase paper

30、 bags, which are easily recycled but require more energytoproduce and transport. And while plastic bags may be uglytolook at, they represent a small percentage of allgarbageon the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bag

35、rs?“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a caution against abduction(诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but hid from them, afraid someone migh

36、t “steal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill(灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social

37、 skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.To have a child go missing is a parents worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a

38、disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percen

39、t of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common but a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to st

40、rangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.For young children, nothing replaces close s

41、upervision(监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive me

42、ssages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.32. Which of the following statements is true about the 11-year-old boy?A.

46、gchildren,manyofusseemtohavealittletroublemakingnewfriends. 36 As adults we tend to become more guarded with new people and have less time to devote to friendships. Consequently most of us find it much harder to make new friends. If youve never experienced a close friendship, even as a young child,

47、you may find it even harder. But we all need and want good friends, even those of us who may sometimes pretend otherwise. The need for friends is instinctual(本能的). Our survival used to depend on having friends to hunt and find food with, to help us build shelter and keep our family safe. 37 . They add meaning to life. They help you enjoy the good times and over
