When people catch sharks，they（65） 　　their fins and throw the shark back into the ocean．This is not only cruel，but also （66） 　　to the environment．Without a fin，a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies．Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem．If their numbers drop too low，it will bring （67） 　　to all ocean life．Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the （68） 　　in their food chain．But in fact，around 70million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year．The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90percent in the last 20to 30years．

How to Succeed in High School

This month, we had the honor of interviewing and six local change﹣makers aged from 11 to 17. These weren't stopped by their age or size or lack of resources, they saw a（1） 　　in the world around them and to step help where they could. They support female soldiers raise money through their efforts, teach other kids about life lessons, and use their free time to    （2） 　　the old trees we love so dearly in the community. Each of them had adults in their lives encouraging and supporting their work．

We were also honored to interview a famous writer for his new book, Start Now! You can Be a Change﹣maker．The book explains some of the world's big problems﹣hunger，health and animals in danger﹣in a way that young children can understand．The book shows them，through other kids' stories，how they can make a （3） 　　, too. In our interview with the writer，he shares that each time his children take a small action，such as recycling，he talks with them．He uses the moment to discuss how small changes can achieve a great effect．It's a step any of us can take to help children realize how（4） 　　they are．

At this time of year，we often hear lots of questions from parents．The most one is，"What volunteer chances are there for young children under 16?"The kids in the interview and in the book show us that parents don't have to find an organized event for their kids to take part in．They can create their own chances．As parents，teachers，aunts，uncles，and friends，it's our job to （5） 　　for what speaks to a child's heart，help the man to take that first step，and watch what their little hands can do．

   Start now，and you can raise a change﹣maker．

Chins Mobille 4G 16：74 43% Teaching material discussion group 15

Hi! I 'm doing a survey on teaching materials in school． What kind of textbooks do you use？ Do you think the use of photocopied（复印的） netbooks and newspaper articles in the classroom can be accepted？ Please give your （1） 　　．

The use of such materials is certainly not （2） 　　for writers． Textbooks are like other creative works． Many people have to put their efforts in the writing of a book． The efforts of the writers and publishers will be totally wasted if everyone photocopies their textbooks． I can't imagine that!

I don' t think it right to use photocopied materials even in the classroom because it's against the law． Teachers should set a good example for their students by （3） 　　the law．

Copied books are as good as copyrighted（正版的）ones， but they don't （4） 　　much， usually less than half the price． In addition， it is so （5） 　　to use copied materials． When we want to share something good we just have it photocopied． I think photocopying is OK because publishers are still making a lot of money anyway．

Most of the time， teachers make sure their students do not use photocopied materials． But I know some teachers do use photocopied newspaper articles sometimes， as their students are eager to learn more to widen their views． As you know，teachers always put the （6） 　　of students above anying else． After all， you can't expect all the students to buy newspapers．

Wow! Thank you for sharing so many ideas!

Children like to copy（模仿）what they hear．They copy their parents，their friends and even the TV．This teaches them how to speak the language．Copying is also（36） 　　for students of a second language．When you listen to foreigners speak English，repeat （37）____ 　　they say．

Children don't practice grammar，but they can use the language to talk about things that （38）______them．They don't complain （39） 　　their small vocabulary or poor grammar．They can find ways to express themselves，and they do it（40） 　　．

Students who are learning English should also pay their attention to （41） 　　．Look for chances to talk with people in English．If you can't find a （42） 　　to talk to，you may talk with other students who know English instead．（43） 　　an English discussion and talk about music，movies（44） 　　whatever interests you．Don't worry about（45） 　　．The objective（目标）is to learn how to communicate easily and comfortably．Remember that you can communicate successfully even with a small vocabulary．

Zoe got a serious illness，and I was scared that she wouldn't （29） 　　the pain．After a long time，Zoe came home from the hospital，but the illness damaged her （30） 　　，Zoe was deaf．

I （31） 　　that I wouldn't let that change her life，so I began （32） 　　her sign languages so that she could learn orders．I helped（33） 　　to learn to sit，come，and do all the other things that dogs do．

Today，Zoe is a happy four﹣year﹣old dog．We spend lots of time（34） 　　，for example，when I'm playing the piano，Zoe jumps up to try to play，too!I guess that part of loving a dog is （35） 　　it．Play with it often，and find a way to train it．In return，your dog will give you so much love．

The following are the posts in an Internet chat room．In this chat room，parents talk about some of the problems they have with their children．

Ask 4 advice

Marisa

Is it ever OK to lie to a child？My 10﹣year﹣old son plays soccer．He's not very good，but he loves it．Yesterday he played very （75） 　　．When he finished the game，he asked，"Did I play well？"I said，"Yes!You're a great soccer player!"Did I do the right thing？

Bay212

Yes，you did the right thing．White lies are a（n） （76） 　　part of life．Sometimes you have to tell lies that do no harm．Your purpose was to make him feel good．Now he's ready to play soccer again．

Bernie

I don't think there is ever a good reason to lie to our children．Children learn honesty from the （77） 　　they see．As parents，we should be honest in order to teach honesty to our children．Every lie requires five more lies．If you keep hiding truth from them，they will not （78） 　　you．They will not respect you．Honesty is the first step to a good parent﹣child relationship．

Missy

You lied to make your son feel better，but you （79） 　　a good chance to teach him a life lesson．People should work hard for what they want．Maybe next time you can say，"No，you didn't play well today．Great soccer players practise a lot．Let's go and practise．"The truth will take him （80） 　　and a good soccer player．

Parviz

Parents should be honest to their children，but they don't have to tell the whole truth．Next time when your son asks，"Did I play well？"you can say，"What do you think？"Then your son can tell you what he thinks．That way，everything you say is true，and you avoid truth that hurts．
