Getting kids interested in science at an early age is very important. It's easier than you think. It is happening all around us, and you can use everyday things to encourage your children's interest and knowledge.
Most parents believe that it is difficult to help their children with science. But you don't need a high scientific degree to teach young children science. All you need is that you're willing to try, to see the world, and to take the time to encourage their natural curiosity.
You can help by having an active attitude toward science yourself. Then start simply by asking your children questions about the things you see every day. And then listen to their answers without judging them, which will improve their confidence, and help you decide just what your children do or do not know.
Different kids have different interests so they need different kinds of science projects. A rock collection may interest your young daughter but your older son may need something more to do with it. Knowing your child is the best way to find enjoyable learning activities. Here are some more tips：
—Choose activities that are the right level of difficulty. If you are not sure, pick something easier.
—Read the suggested ages on any projects, books, then make sure that the activity is proper for your child.
—Consider how well the type of the project matches your child's personality and learning style.
—Let your child choose the project or activity. It's easy enough to ask. Rather than overwhelm him, suggest 2 or 3 possibilities. When a child picks something he is interested in, he will enjoy it and learn more from it.

In Wiltshire, England, volunteers are being sought to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and on surrounding fields. The project is promoted by an environmental protection organization, which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals. Recently, the organization has issued an appeal to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment.
In the area, the local people have planted many special flowers with the help of the organization, aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies. The project officer Sarah Marshall says, “It will be a suitable habitat (栖息地) for butterflies. They are great ‘indicator species’ as they are easily affected by climate changes so they make a brilliant early warning system for the environment.” She also points out that volunteers are needed to record the number or species of butterflies, and based on the change happening to the butterflies, the hidden environmental problems in the area can be found out in time.
The organization is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September. They will walk a fixed route and record the different butterflies they encounter along the way. Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife.“Staff will provide back up, so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit (butterflies don't like to fly in the rain, wind or if it's too cloudy), we can have someone else do your job，” Sarah points out.
No previous experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but a keen interest is essential. If you are interested, please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext 278, email sarahm@wiltshirewildlife.org.

When you are learning a foreign language, one of the hardest things to grasp (领会) is how and when to use colloquial idioms (口语习语) and expressions. Often used in both spoken and written language, these idioms are very important. Using one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English speaker is very impressive. Here are some wonderful British idioms. Use them wisely!
1．When pigs fly!
This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used primarily (主要) when speaking, meaning that something is extremely unlikely or impossible. For example，“I will forgive him when pigs fly！” “When do you think you will get a gym membership, Louise？” “When pigs fly！”
2．A penny for your thoughts
This question is used in a situation where someone appears thoughtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought. But remember that you don't actually have to pay them a penny if they do tell you what is going on! For example, “You've been a bit quiet this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts？”
3．It's the bee's knees.
This expression means that something is of excellence or of very high quality. For example. “Try this chocolate. It's the bee's knees.”
4．To feel a bit under the weather.
I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phrase if you were feeling extremely unwell. It is only for those times when you are feeling a little ill, or suffering from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used to refer to feeling emotionally (情感上的) low.
12．What would you say if you think something will never happen
A．When pigs fly!
B．It's the bee's knees.
C．A penny for your thoughts
D．To feel a bit under the weather.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的 “...something is extremely unlikely or impossible”可知，When pigs fly是“不可能”的意思。
13．What does “A penny for your thoughts？” mean
A．Can I help you
B．Do you need money
C．How are you feeling
D．What are you thinking about
解析：选D 句意猜测题。根据第三段的“... where someone appears thoughtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought”可知，问话人想知道对方在想什么。
14．What is the author most likely to write at the end of the last paragraph
A．A study. B．An example.
C．Another idiom. D．The basis of the idiom.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据上文介绍三个习语的布局可知，结束时均用举例说明习语的用法，由此可推断出在最后一段的末尾作者可能会举例说明该习语的用法。
15．What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce some useful idioms.
B．To show how to remember idioms.
C．To tell people the importance of idioms.
D．To give advice on how to learn a foreign language.
解析：选A 写作意图题。根据第一段的“Here are some wonderful British idioms. Use them wisely！”可知，作者的写作意图是介绍几个常用的英语习语。

Animals are our friends. As students, what should we do to protect animals
Firstly, we mustn't litter, which is the easiest way to help protect the environment. Littering increases the damage to animals' habitats. Secondly, turn off the lights when you leave the room, turn off the water when you don't need it and take cloth bags instead of plastic bags when you go shopping. That will also help protect the environment. Thirdly, it's necessary to make more people realize the importance of protecting animals. Lastly, be brave to stop those who harm or kill animals or call the police.
I believe that if we all try our best, animals will be protected well.B卷——高考仿真检测(时间90分钟，满分120分)

Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to count the wildlife.“Staff will provide back up, so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit (butterflies don't like to fly in the rain, wind or if it's too cloudy), we can have someone else do your job，” Sarah points out.
No previous experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but a keen interest is essential. If you are interested, please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext 278, email sarahm@wiltshirewildlife.org.

When you are learning a foreign language, one of the hardest things to grasp (领会) is how and when to use colloquial idioms (口语习语) and expressions. Often used in both spoken and written language, these idioms are very important. Using one of these phrases correctly when speaking or writing to an English speaker is very impressive. Here are some wonderful British idioms. Use them wisely!
1．When pigs fly!
This expression is one of my favorites and I use it all the time. It is used primarily (主要) when speaking, meaning that something is extremely unlikely or impossible. For example，“I will forgive him when pigs fly！” “When do you think you will get a gym membership, Louise？” “When pigs fly！”
2．A penny for your thoughts
This question is used in a situation where someone appears thoughtful or is very quiet seeming lost in thought. But remember that you don't actually have to pay them a penny if they do tell you what is going on! For example, “You've been a bit quiet this evening, Pete. A penny for your thoughts？”
3．It's the bee's knees.
This expression means that something is of excellence or of very high quality. For example. “Try this chocolate. It's the bee's knees.”
4．To feel a bit under the weather.
I use this expression in many different situations but most use it to refer to feeling ill, or unwell. You would not use this phrase if you were feeling extremely unwell. It is only for those times when you are feeling a little ill, or suffering from something slightly like a cold or a cough. However, this can also be used to refer to feeling emotionally (情感上的) low.
12．What would you say if you think something will never happen
A．When pigs fly!
B．It's the bee's knees.
C．A penny for your thoughts
D．To feel a bit under the weather.
13．What does “A penny for your thoughts？” mean
A．Can I help you
B．Do you need money
C．How are you feeling
D．What are you thinking about
14．What is the author most likely to write at the end of the last paragraph
A．A study. B．An example.
C．Another idiom. D．The basis of the idiom.
15．What is the author's purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce some useful idioms.
B．To show how to remember idioms.
C．To tell people the importance of idioms.
D．To give advice on how to learn a foreign language.
