A
Dear Amy,
I am a 30-year-old woman with no friends. I have always been shy and a bit of lonely.
In the first couple of years after graduation I kept in touch with most of my friends but gradually they scattered around the country. My best friend Lily and I were roommates for a while but we had a fight. We both admitted mistakes but refused to apologize. After that she grew very close to the new roommate she got after I moved out. Then she moved across the country and that just made it harder to repair our friendship.
About three years ago I was seriously injured in an accident. After that I got chronic(慢性的) pain. I had to change my job as a result. I get along well with the colleagues (同事) at my new job but no friendships really form, mostly because of large age differences. And at the same time, the friends from my old job gradually gave me up. They said that I never gave them enough attention.
I live in a small town with very little to do. The entire social place is only made up of bars, bars and more bars. It’s really not my thing. I can’t drink because of the medicine I take, and it’s really no fun to go to a bar and be the only person there who doesn’t drink.
I don’t think I’m a difficult person. I’m kind, patient, and a good listener. People seem to like me, but no one seems to want to be friends with me. What should I do?
Yours, Erica

parent’s job to make their kids become responsible adults and to prepare them for the real world and life as an adult.
Kids as young as toddlers(学走路的孩子) can be given small jobs to do and can help you around the house, in the garden, at the grocery store, etc. They can do little jobs like setting the table, helping to make the bed, washing dishes, washing the car and so on. When you let children do small jobs at a young age and make it fun, encourage, praise and thank them, it quickly becomes normal and a part of life. Kids who are given different responsibilities grow up with a much greater sense of self-worth, self-esteem and are more confident. As the children grow, their responsibilities grow and expand.
Doing everything for children or not allowing them to make mistakes and learn from them is not being a positive, responsible parent. The kids will more than likely end up with bad attitudes, and usually have no respect for their parents or other adults and at times have no respect for themselves. When your kids are ready to leave home, they should be responsible, capable and confident.
It is my opinion that parents are to be thanked or to be blamed(责备) for just how kids take control of their lives. They are a product of their environment, mirroring what they have seen and what you have taught them. Parenting is the hardest job in the world and none of us are perfect, but it is our job!
4．What do other parents think when the author says her child is responsible? A．They think it not good． B．They think it acceptable． C．They think it not rare． D．They think it unbelievable． 5．Parents can make their kids become responsible by ________. A．making small jobs fun B．praising and encouraging them C．giving them simple jobs to do D．setting a good example to them 6．We can learn from Paragraph 3 that doing everything for children ． A．shows parents’ responsibility B．shows no respect for children C．is difficult for every parent D．is bad for their development 7．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A．To explain the responsibilities of parents. B．To show her experience in raising children. C．To encourage kids to be responsible. D．To advise parents to make children responsible.

Each year more than 30,000 elephants are poached (偷猎) for their ivory (象牙). But recently, China ------ the world’s largest market for ivory products ------ promised to end its sale of ivory.
“Ending legal sales of ivory in China is the greatest step to reduce elephant poaching in Africa,” says Peter Knights, CEO of the conservation (保护) group Wild Aid. “We praise China for its leadership.”
Chinese leaders say that the nation will gradually reduce its amount to zero. They are also encouraging other countries to follow China’s lead by taking bigger action against the illegal ivory trade.
Africa once had as many as 3.5 million elephants. Today, only about 500,000 remain. Conservation experts say elephants could someday disappear entirely if the illegal ivory trade does not end.

The international trade of ivory was banned in 1989. However, China has still allowed ivory to be sold. In addition, the US ----- the second-largest market for ivory ------ still allows the trade of ivory acquired before the ban. Europeans still support the ivory market by selling ivory from long ago. Many poachers are taking advantage of these rules. They are still illegally hunting elephants for ivory, but selling the ivory in legal markets.
Last week, the US destroyed more than a ton of ivory in New York City’s Times Square to show its commitment (承诺) to ending the illegal ivory trade. China held a similar ivory-crushing event last month, and other countries have done the same in recent years.
Some wildlife supporters say destroying ivory will reduce the supply of ivory, leading to more poaching. But organizers say the events will raise awareness (意识) of the illegal ivory trade and increase support for ending it.
“China, the US, and other major ivory-consuming countries hold the key to saving Africa’s elephants,” says Ginette Hemley, senior vice president of Wildlife Conservation at the World Wildlife Fund.
8. What is Peter Knights` attitude towards China’s action to end the ivory trade?
A. Supportive B. Doubtful C. Interested D. Worried 9. Para.4 mainly shows______. . A. The damage caused by legal sales of ivory B. The step of ending the illegal ivory trade
C. The serious situation of the elephants in Africa
D. The importance of protecting the elephants in Africa
10. What will be the result brought by the ivory-destroying events according to the organizers? A. More elephants will be killed.
B. The illegal ivory trade will come to an end soon. C. New ivory markets will be opened in other countries.
D. More countries will take action against the illegal ivory trade. 11. What can be used as the best title for the passage? A. Africa`s elephants are dying out.
B. China helps to save Africa`s elephants. C. Ivory trade will be banned in the world.
D. How to stop elephants from being poached.
