For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers express that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler's way of saying "I like you" during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend's behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of expressing fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy (专横的). But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddler s learn social rules. That's why it's so important to take an active role in your toddler's social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy ("Ben is crying. What's making him so sad?"), then suggest how he could resolve the problem ("Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball."). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him("Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.").
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It's also important to be mindful of how your child's personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they're sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they're refreshed.
(1)、What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates' behavior?A、They are interested in acting. B、They are shy with the strangers. C、They are fond of their playmates. D、They are tired of playing games.(2)、What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?A、Design games for them. B、Find them suitable playmates. C、Play together with them. D、Help them understand social rules.(3)、What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4?A、Giving examples. B、Explaining concepts. C、Providing evidence. D、Making comparisons.(4)、Which of the following is the best title for the text?A、How Children Adapt to Changes B、How to Be a Role Model for Children C、How Your Baby Learns to Love D、How to Communicate with Your Kid -

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People, Dale Carnegie wrote: "I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument- and that is to avoid it."This distaste(厌恶) for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives-and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions- like, say, tennis tournaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate (阐述) an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully, assess its strength and weakness, raise objections (异议) and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort, but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument—not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about what divides people, learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them. If we readjust our view of arguments—from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other —then we change the very nature of what it means to "win" an argument.
(1)、What is the author's attitude toward Carnegie's understanding of argument?A、Critical. B、Supportive. C、Tolerant. D、Uncertain.(2)、Why do many people try to avoid arguments?A、They lack debating skills. B、They may feel bad even if they win. C、They fear being ignored. D、They are not confident in themselves.(3)、 What does the underlined phrase "spell out" in paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Defend. B、Explain. C、Conclude. D、Repeat.(4)、What is the key to "winning" an argument according to the author?A、Sense of logic. B、Solid supporting evidence. C、Proper manners. D、Understanding from both sides. -

Parrots are prey animals, which means that other predators (捕食者) in the wild, such as hawks or snakes, are looking to make them into a meal. This one factor influences parrots' behavior in your house more than any other.
Parrots are most easily hurt when feeding on the ground; membership in a group plays an important function in ensuring their safety and improving their chances of survival from attacks by predators. The most common predators of parrots include hawks, snakes, cats, monkeys, and bats. Some predators make attacks only during the day while others hunt in the night.
As prey animals, parrots are constantly watching out for danger and they instinctively (本能地) react to risks. Their first choice is to take flight. However, if this is not possible, they will fight with their powerful beaks to defend themselves.
Because their biggest enemy is the hawk, parrots are especially reactive to quick movements from above and behind. For this reason, it is wise to avoid quick, sudden movements near your bird. This is a built-in reaction not subject to logic or reason. Simple and relatively harmless household objects can draw extreme fear responses from a bird. For example, a balloon may represent a hawk or a vacuum hose (吸尘器软管) may be the same as a snake in your bird's mind.
As prey animals, parrots are often frightened by exposure to new household items or strangers. It is important to expose your bird to safe experiences and changes starting at a very young age to build flexibility and improve their adaptability. Variety in diet and toys, travel, and exposure to new people and places all help to make your bird more flexible and adaptable to change.
(1)、What is important for parrots to better survive from attacks in the wild?A、Living in a group. B、Growing beautiful feathers. C、Feeding on the ground. D、Avoiding coming out at night.(2)、What is parrots' first response to an immediate risk?A、To attack back. B、To get away. C、To protect the young. D、To play dead.(3)、Why would a balloon frighten a parrot?A、It may explode suddenly. B、It may be in a strange shape. C、It may have a strong color. D、It may move around quickly.(4)、What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A、To explain wild parrots' behavior. B、To give advice on raising a parrot. C、To call for action to protect animals. D、To introduce a study on bird ecology. -

Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW's Coe Library
A first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming's Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1.
"Wonderland Illustrated" will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870sthrough 2022. The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.
The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year's 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.
"We're thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davis, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone's 150th anniversary," says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. "This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections."
One poster from the exhibition— Henry Wellge's "Yellowstone National Park" from1904— was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird's-eye-view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.

20、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段 ,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Spotted lanternflies (斑点灯笼蝇) are an invasive species. Since 2014, they have been seen all across the eastern United States. The insects are harmful to many plants, and can disturb entire ecosystems. State officials have urged people to kill spotted lanternflies wherever they see them.
When Joy saw the pests in her school courtyard, she thought she had to do something. "I've always wanted to take environmental action," she says, "and show people that no one is ever too small to make a difference."
So she started a club called Squash (压扁). Its mission is to kill spotted lanternflies around the school. More than 20 students have joined. At first, they trapped the pests in empty water bottles and then squashed them. In a single day, the club managed to kill more than a hundred spotted lanternflies.
Joy wanted to do more. With research, she discovered a plant called milkweed. It's nutritious for pollinators (传粉昆虫) such as monarch butterflies but poisonous to spotted lanternflies. Joy thought that using milkweed along with the traps made specifically for spotted lanternflies would be a better way to kill them. The issue was that they didn't have enough money to buy milkweed and the traps.
The kids were hoping to raise money for their school to address the big problem. Their goal was to raise $200, the cost of the equipment needed to kill spotted lanternflies around their school. They got part of the way there, with about $75. They decided to attract more fundraisers. "We discovered that if you find your voice," Joy says, "you can do much more."
In May, Joy and other students from Squash gathered in Columbus Park, in New York City. They set up a table with lemonade, cookies, and origami figures for sale. The money will be used to buy milkweed and the traps.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To attract more attention, the students divided their work into various roles.
As the day progressed, the students' efforts paid off.
