Lorcan Dillon is overcoming selective mutism(选择性缄默症) and learning to share his feelings with the help of a cat named Jessi-cat.
Young Lorcan Dillon has never told his parents that he loves them, but with the help of his best friend, Jessi-cat, this 7-year-old has been making strides toward expressing his emotions.
Lorcan has selective mutism, an anxiety disorder that makes it difficult for him to speak in social situations or tell even his family how he feels. The boy, who lives in the U. K, struggles with communication on a daily basis and rarely speaks to his teachers or classmates.
However, Lorcan's behavior began to change when his mother got him Jessi-cat two years ago.The two quickly became close friends.
“The reason I got Jessi-cat is because pets and cats in particular are very good with children with special needs, "Lorcan's mom, Jayne Dillon, said in an interview with Cats Protection, a British cat welfare agency.
According to his mother, Lorcan has made progress in overcoming his disability. In the past few weeks, he's begun speaking to people he doesn't know very well and has even been reading to one of his teachers something he's never done before.
Dillon says she has Jessi-cat to thank for her son's improvements: He does speak normally at home. He does not have selective mutism with us at all in the house, but he does not express his emotions. He would not say love you mummy". He just does not do it. But with the cat, he can hold her. he can stroke (.)her, he can talk to her. And he does say, ' I love you Jessi-cat, 'which is really nice. It is a way for him to express emotions which otherwise he would not be able to do.
Jessi-cat's role in Lorcan's life hasn't gone unnoticed. Lorcan's kitty companion is currently one of the Best Friends category (类别) finalists in the Cats Protection National Cat Awards。

Teens who have good, supportive relationships with the eac ers enjoy better health as adults, according to a research.
“This research suggests that improving students,relationships with teachers could have important, positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,” said Jinho Kim, the author of the study. “It could also have important health implications in the long run.”
Previous research has suggested that teens, social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood-perhaps because poor relationships can lead to chronic (慢性的) stress which can raise a person’s risk of health problems over the lifespan, according to Kim. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal ——it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might cause both relationship problems in adolescence (青少年的)and poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens relationships with their peers, rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further. Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study that followed participants for 13 years, from seventh grade into early adulthood.The participants included more than 3, 400 pairs of brothers and sisters. As teens, participants answered questions such as, “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students ” “How much do you agree that friends care about you ” “How often have you had trouble getting along with your teachers ” and “How much do you agree that teachers care about you ” As adults participants were asked about their physical and mental health. Researchers also took measures of physical health,such as blood pressure and BMI(体质指数).
Kim found that, as expected, participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle school and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of brothers and sisters together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest that teacher relationships are even more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students, according to Kim.
71. According to the research mentioned in the passage,_____________.
A. the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is obvious
B. teen relationships with their peers determine their lifetime health
C. students relationships with teachers decide their academic success
D. good relationships with teachers can cause better health as adults
72. By “However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal” in Para. 3, the author means that____________
A. teen relationships with teachers were not studied before
B. family background is the main factor in improving mental health
C. relationship problems in adolescence can cause poor health in adulthood
D. teen relationship is not the only factor that affects the lifetime health
73. Paragraph 4 is mainly about______________.
A. how the research was conducted
B. what questions were explored
C. how physical health was measured
D. what kind of participants were studied
74. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. All the teachers knew how to get along well with students in the past
B. More attention should be paid to the students relationships with teachers
C. The importance of student-teacher relationships was fully realized before
D. Schools know how to train teachers to improve the relationships with students.
