I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened Looking
down I immediately recognized that something was wrong and ran down
to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her
three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was
a life-and-death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with
fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding

would sweep the calf a way
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed
clean over the mother’s body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to

to wonder of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing
in on human beings “Most of the infections (感染)we think of as human

of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia
University.
It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re
also bringing them closer to us Popular foreign pets have brought a
whole new disease to this country A strange illness killed
Isaksen’s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a
bad idea “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have
such a limited knowledge of them “says Isaksen
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest
areas without stricter control need changing “says Peter Schantz
Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call Researchers believe
infected animals may infect their owners We know very little about

It’s not easy being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)—nor is it easy being
the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt,
or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It
is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while
gently letting him know that you you’ll still be there for him when
he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything.Except for
health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving;
consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is
unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on
his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clarn
up. Instead , let him attempt to solve(解决)things by himself. At
the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him should
he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy
(隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal
conversions.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole
family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long,
tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the
phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up
the line so that other family members can make and receive calls,
but teaches your teenager moderation(节制). Or if you are open to the
idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his
own pocket money or a part –time job
68. The main purpose of the text is to tell
parents
.
A. how to get along with a teenager

excited

talk
