All over the world，thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism．People travel to watch monkey shows，hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins．It might look like fun，but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again．
The World Animal Protection（WAP）says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed（暴露）to ill treatment around the world；in Cambodia，for example，it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather．This is getting attention﹣over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places．However，some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems．So what do you think？
Group Yes

Think about what you like to wear on the weekend.There's a good chance that you like to put on a pair of blue jeans.At any moment，about half of the world's population is wearing jeans.But according to a new study，our love for jeans may be bad for Earth.Denim （牛仔布）might be putting some sea animals in danger.
Every time we wash our jeans，tiny bits of denim will flow out of our washing machines，down into the world's rivers，lakes and oceans.
You might wonder：Isn't denim made of cotton，a natural material？How can it become a danger to nature？Well，in the process of making jeans，denim is treated with many types of man﹣made chemicals.Some improve its durability （耐用性）and feel；others give jeans their blue color.
Scientists studied the Great Lakes in America and the Arctic Ocean in northern Canada.They found denim waste in all of the samples （样本）they had collected.It is feared that the harmful chemicals in denim have spread far and wide.Scientists aren't yet sure how these chemicals might harm animals.
In the study，the scientists also washed jeans to see how many bits of denim each pair would drop per wash.The answer was frightening：About 50，000.Not all of them make their way into the environment.Wastewater treatment plants hold back 83 to 99 percent of them.This may sound pretty good.However，one percent of 50，000 bits are still 500 per wash.Now think about the number of jeans around the world and the times each of them gets washed.As a result，a large amount of denim waste still gets into the environment.
Does this mean we shouldn't wear jeans？Probably not" We need to buy fewer jeans and only wash them when we truly need to do it，" says Sam Athey，one of the scientists. " You don't need to wash your jeans after having worn them only a couple of times. "
（1）What influence might denim have on sea animals？
| A． |
It might do harm to some sea animals. |
| B． |
It has no influence on sea animals. |
| C． |
It is good to all the sea animals. |
（2）Why do people add man﹣made chemicals when making jeans？
①To save the materials and make more money.
②To improve denim's durability and feel.
③To make jeans blue.
| A． |
①② |
| B． |
①③ |
| C． |
②③ |
（3）How many bits of denim might get into the environment every year？
| A． |
Five hundred. |
| B． |
Fifty thousand. |
| C． |
Too many to count. |
（4）What should we do according to Sam Athey's words？
| A． |
We are not supposed to wear jeans. |
| B． |
We need to wash our jeans every day. |
| C． |
We should buy fewer jeans and wash them fewer times. |

It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us．Often，he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house．Each time I would answer softly，"It's me，Ray，Grandpa!" Even if he had forgotten who I was，he would always be my beloved grandfather．

When I was very young，people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard（果园） on the hill.At that time，they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard，the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day，two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced，and later，canals and other projects began to be built in my village， "Who are they？" I asked. "They are good men from our government，" my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards，I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day，my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home，my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project（水利工程） was completed a policy（政策） was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter？ Are you different because you are the first， second， or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine？
A study found that first﹣borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order， perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters， which improves their own skills． In 2007， an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ，33% are middle children， and 23% are last﹣borns． First﹣borns are more likely （可能的）to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay．
If first﹣borns are more successful， last﹣borns are generally more agreeable． They are also more likely to be funny， possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table． Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families， and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four． According to a 2007 Time magazine article， "The power of Birth Order，" last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen．
Then there are the middle children； we have not ignored（忽视） them! Many middle children are short of one﹣on﹣one time with their parents． They often feel short﹣changed： the oldest gets more rights， and the youngest is "spoiled（宠坏的） "．Though they may be ignored， middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults．

At first，I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind，The next time I visited that place，I'd use that to find the way.Today.I am used to doing it，But I've still lost my way many times.I'd have to swallow my pride to ask for help，not thinking what others think or say about me.
Sometimes I'd be down and I'd consider giving up.Perhaps my uncle was right.Maybe I'd stay home and wait until someone came to help.On those days when I lost my way，I'd go to bed with a bad feeling.▲.I had e strong wish 10 bear blindness and be successful，and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.

Marianne Carus，who started Cricket（蟋蟀）magazine in 1973 and served as Editor﹣in﹣Chief（总主编）until 2012，died on March 3 at the age of 92 this year.
Marianne believed that "only the best of the best is good enough for the young. "In Cricket，children would find wonderful stories with beautiful art，and be encouraged by ideas in the humanities and sciences.Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures.Most important，Cricket would never talk down to children.
Marianne knew that children were filled with fun，and she wanted Cricket to be，too - "humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. "And so she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs（虫子），such as Lady bung and Spider.
Over the years，Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Cricket readers，including long﹣ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.
▲She considered other names，such as Troubadour or Taliesin，the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then，one night，she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir（回忆录）A Day of Pleasure，about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote：There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do-to tell stories that would never end!So the name Cricket became her best choice.
Thank you for everything，Marianne.May the stories，and the laughter，never end!

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why？Some people think kindness is something out of love and care，while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate （激活）an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood （情绪）.But why and how does it happen？Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation，people around may be smiling，too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around？
Secondly，being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly，charities（慈善）also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research，even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind，he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood，but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood，you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship，doesn't it？

Food is a kind of culture.It's a nation's memory and pride.The famous French baguette （长棍面包） is one of their memories and prides.French people think it should be protected. "It is much more than just a kind of bread.It is a symbol of France—it's like the Eiffel Tower，" said Dominigue Anract，president of the Confederation of French Bakers.
So it's no wonder that a group of French cooks want the baguette to become a form of intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） listed by UNESCO.French culture leaders have given a suggestion to the country's president.
UNESCO's intangible heritage list aims to protect culture from the influence of the world.Cooks in France believe that if the baguette is on the list，it will be better protected.The list already includes Belgian beer and Neapolitan pizza.
The baguette has been protected by law since 1993.The law says the bread must be made with only the following things：water，wheat flour，yeast and salt.The flour should be fermented （发酵） for 15 to 20 hours at a certain temperature.This strict rule makes the food special and delicious.
Six million baguettes are sold every day in France.However，as supermarkets continue to take over，tens of thousands of shops have closed since the 1950s. "The first thing we ask of a child is to go buy a baguette，" Anract said. "We think it important to protect these habits."
