A
SelfConfidence is important to achieve success.Children are sensitive and need encouragement to learn.They need the support from parents and adults to grow up wellbalanced.Confidence in children comes from positive support in adults.
It is important that children develop a positive image of their own.A positive image means that they are selfconfident，that they know their own limits and trust their own abilities.People who have a positive image enjoy their lives and can handle themselves in tough situations.So，it is the same situation for children；in order to build selfconfidence，parents need to show confidence in their children.This feeling is not born.It's created in the child's environment.Verbal and nonverbal hints are important to convey a message of confidence.Confidence from adults gives the child the ability to handle new challenges and activities.
Accept children for who they are.Whatever the child does right，we should praise them and encourage them.If the child does something inappropriate，then we have to correct them (without yelling at them)．They need to know that without making mistakes，there can be no wisdom.
Children learn a lot more by trying for themselves though it will take longer and probably be more messy.Patience and confidence can do a lot.Give children the time and space to try something new and learn from their mistakes.Provide them with help，if they need it.Be proud of them，whether or not they succeed.Children with selfconfidence are not frightened by new experiences or learning situations.
Act as a role model.Children learn the most from your behavior.Children always imitate adult behavior，good and bad.They want to be adults themselves.If they see you cussing，they will cuss.If they see you helping others，they will try to help.Abused children will become child abusers.Building confidence in children will help them achieve success as adults.
36．The main purpose of the passage is to tell parents ______.
A．how to get along with their children　　B．how to help their children become confident
C．how to educate their children　　D．how to set good examples for their children
37．What does the underlined word “imitate” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Copy. B．Respect. C．Envy. D．Appreciate.
38．Which should parents do in helping children to build their confidence?
A．Providing help to children if necessary.　　B．Abusing children when they make mistakes.
C．Giving children some negative hints.　　　D．Not giving children any praise.
39．When a child makes a mistake，what should his parents do?
A．Yelling at him. B．Frightening him.
C．Praising him proudly. D．Correcting him gently.

When elephants retire，many head for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald，Tenn.They arrive one by one，but they tend to live out their lives two by two.“Every elephant that comes here searches out someone that she then spends most all of her time with，” says sanctuary cofounder Carol Buckley.It's likely having a best girlfriend，Buckley says—“Somebody they can relate to；they have something in common with.”
Debbie has Ronnie.Misty can't live without Dulary.Those are pachydermpachyderm pairs. But perhaps the closest friends of all are Tarra and Bella.Tarra，an 8,700 pound Asian elephant；Bella，a stray dog.They are closest friends.
Bella is one of more than a dozen stray dogs that have found a home at the sanctuary.Most want nothing to do with the elephants and vice versa.But not this odd couple.“Bella knows she's not an elephant.Tarra knows she's not a dog，” Buckley adds.“But that's not a problem for them.” “When it's time to eat they both eat together.They drink together.They sleep together.They play together，” Buckley says.
Tarra and Bella have been close for years—but no one really knew how close they were until recently.A few months ago Bella suffered a spinal cord injury.She couldn't move her legs，couldn't even wag her tail.For three weeks the dog lay motionless up in the sanctuary office.And for three weeks the elephant held vigil：2,700 acres to roam free，and Tarra just stood in the corner，beside a gate，right outside that sanctuary office.“She just stood outside the balcony—just stood there and waited，” says Buckley.“She was concerned about her friend.” Then one day，sanctuary cofounder Scott Blais carried Bella onto the balcony so she and Tarra could at least see each other.
“Bella's tail started wagging.And we had no choice but to bring Bella down to see Tarra，” Blais says.
They visited like that every day until Tarra could walk.Today，their love—and trust—is stronger than ever.Bella even lets Tarra pet her tummy—with the bottom of her enormous foot.They harbor no fears，no secrets，no prejudices.Just two living creatures who somehow managed to look past their immense differences.
Take a good look at this couple，human beings.Take a good look at the world.If they can do it—what's our excuse?
40．The underlined part “Those are pachydermpachyderm pairs.” in Para.2 means ______.
A．both of the pairs are elephants　　　B．both of the pairs look strange
C．animals there have different kinds of friends　　D．they are friends of the same kind
41．According to the passage we can learn (that) ______.
A．most elephants and dogs in Elephant Sanctuary became good friends
B．people didn't know Tarra and Bella were good friends for a long time
C．when the dog shakes its tail，that means it's very sad
D．when Bella recovered，their friendship became stronger
42．We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.
A．different animals can become closest friends
B．people should learn something from the two friends
C．people all over the world should cooperate to protect the world
D．people all over the world should become the closest friends
43．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Unlikely friends B．Lasting friendship　C．Unselfish love D．Magic nature

New research says 35 percent of child deaths worldwide are caused by hunger.The research comes from poor to middleincome countries in Africa，Asia and Latin America.
Robert Black from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland is the lead writer of the research.He says more than 3.5 million mothers and children under five die in poor countries each year because of hunger.
He says about two million children die from underdevelopment，either before or after birth.Millions of others who survive face a lifetime of disabilities or early death and the effects are not just physical.Poor mental development also results from hunger as children grow.Then the cycle of poverty and hunger often continues for their children.
Doctor Black says hungry children can have conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease as a result of hunger.He says the studies show that food programs need to place the greatest importance on the first two years of life.Hungry children can suffer their whole life damage from age two.
It is high time their diets were improved.Diets should include foods rich in vitamin A and other vitamins and minerals.The researchers say early help such as this could reduce child deaths by 25%.
This research has also faced some criticism.A medical aid group says the researchers underestimate (低估) the number of child deaths due to hunger.The researchers say there are findings that support this treatment but more studies are needed to compare it to hospital care.

参考范文：
With the rapid development of economy in many big cities in China，more and more people have their own cars，and also more and more problems arise.The traffic problem is really a problem，which can be found everywhere，especially in the developing countries.I think some effective measures should be taken to solve the problem.
Firstly，citizens should cut down the use of cars.At present，there are too many private cars and the streets are too crowded.Citizens should be encouraged to turn to public transportation like buses，metro，which will ease traffic jams.
Secondly，citizens should raise their awareness of environment protection.If they live not far from where they work，they can go to work on foot or by bicycle.Nowadays，more people prefer electric bikes to other means of transport，which benefits environment a lot.
Finally，the government should make great effort to improve the public transport system to meet citizen's demands.More electric buses are supposed to be introduced，for the electric buses are noticeably lowering noise and air pollution.The better the public buses service is，the more people are willing to take buses.
