Dr.Wang

Hi, there!

I'm here to help with any of your problems, whether at school or at home.

Sophia

@ Dr. Wang

What should say to my little brother?

My problem is terrible.

My mum gave us a new baby a couple of years ago. We were really happy then, but this lovely baby has grown up!

He seems to have too much energy, and never stops running or shouting. The door doesn't help at all﹣he'll be knocking at it for ages. I can't study at home. I really can't stand this, but what should I say to four﹣year﹣old boy? And my parents are around him all the time. They seem to forget everything about me. How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa!

Can you help me out?

Dr. Wang

@ Sophia

That's a common complaint. I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door, but doesn't that mean the little one wants to stay with you? Just as you want to have your parents around, he needs your attention! If this doesn't make you feel better, ask your parents for some help. Just have a talk with your parents. Ask them to calm(  ) our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework. And tell them that you also need their attention!

Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days. Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days.

(1)Was Sophia happy to have little brother at first?   

(2)How old is Sophia's little brother now?   

(3)What problems does Sophia have?   

(4)Do you think someone else like Dr. Wang for help is the best choice for Sophia? Why or Why not?

Safety Activity for Middle School Kids
School is not the safe place as it used to be. How to keep school safer? How to help students stay away from danger? There are many activities that teachers can do to teach safety in an easy way. Here are some stories from the students who have had the safety class in No. 1 Middle School.
Mike Smith: About Sports Safety
Once, our head teacher made up a story about sports safety. All we needed to do was to point out safe and unsafe sports behaviors in the story. From this lesson, we knew we should always do warm-up(热身) activities before playing sports and drink some water after that.
Amy Young: About Classroom Safety
Yes, making up stories is a good way to learn and enjoy ourselves. We were once asked to make up a story about a boy called Little Naughty. He always did something naughty in the classroom and got himself into trouble. In this way, we learned to behave well and get on well with each other.
Frank Green: About Fire Safety
In our school, we have a fire emergency response practice(火警应急演习) in September every year. So we know where to go if there is a fire in school. We learn to use the fire extinguisher(灭火器),too. But I don’t think we should be allowed to put out the fire alone, it’s too dangerous for young students like us.

    I caught a cold. It was really a bad cold. Actually, the doctor later told me that I had the flu (流感).

    My head was pounding. My throat was hurting. My body was aching.My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak.I never experienced anything like this before.Worst of all, my sore throat was so serious that I couldn't even swallow(吞咽)!

    I knew I should drink more fluids﹣water, soup or juice ﹣ and maybe take some medicine. But I couldn't. Each time I tried to swallow, it hurt so much. So my dad took me to the hospital.

    A doctor came in.He checked my throat.He then checked my lungs.After his examination,he said,"Nothing to worry about. You have the flu."

    "Why is it so serious?" I asked."Can you give me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much?"

    "No," the doctor said."No medicine can cure (治愈) your flu. Don't be sad. Your body is an amazing thing. It will cure itself without any help.""What? My body will fix things on its own?"I cried in disbelief.

    Yes, your body's immune system (免疫系统) will fight the virus (病毒) for you. No doctor or medicine will cure you." repeated the doctor.

    My tears rushed out.I had not realized this in the past.Everything had always seemed so natural.I've had my meals every day for thirteen years. I drink water like taking a breath﹣without thinking about it at all.

    Now, I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle (奇迹). The parts of my body do their jobs amazingly well一and yet quietly, without me even noticing.

    I don't remember how many days it took me to be well again, but I do remember what my father told me. He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built.

When Dr. Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.

    Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr. McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.

    Dr. McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling (困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing (区别) calls of friends from those of strangers.

    What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor (因素) of importance: The "smartest" families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal (信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.

    That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.

回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过5个词.

(1)How do scientists working in the park study elephants?

After months of study,you have some time to relax.So,why not read a book?Well,some people will say,"Why trouble with books?We have the Internet and other media(媒体)that offer a lot more colorful programs.Books are history!"But don't be fooled.There's still a lot to be said for reading.①One clear reason is that a well﹣chosen      is a wonderful collection of      and expressions,as long as you have a good dictionary,of course.Believe me,it's far easier to get standard English than from the TV or the Internet.② But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media cannot.The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.Though"easy"may be welcome,unluckily it's of little use for any long﹣time development of reading skills and the general language level.For that,there's still no substitute(替代品) for a book.But perhaps the best reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it's something you do by and for yourself.You can choose what you want to read.It's hard work,but while you are reading,you'll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.Reading can bring us pleasure.
