（2015•沈阳） Aunt Linda's advice page

Peter I went out with a group of friends yesterday. We saw a lady lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made jokes about her and laughed. Though I wanted to help her, my friends told me not to. It was awful of them to laugh at her, and I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed of myself. What should I do in this situation?

Dear Peter,

I believe you've learnt an important lesson —— you'll regret it if you don't do the right thing at the right moment. Next time in the same situation, you should make up your own mind. You shouldn't listen to your friend. It was awful of them to laugh at a sick lady.

Julile I have to share a room with my seven-year-old sister, and she's driving me mad! She has a habit of playing the piano when I'm studying, and she always takes my things without telling me. I try to keep the room tidy, but she always makes a mess. I love my sister, but sometimes she's so annoying! What should I do?

Dear Julie,

You should talk to your sister more. Ask her to play the piano only when you're not studying. Let her borrow your things only if she asks you first. Perhaps she just wants more attention from you. Try spending some time with her every day and you'll both learn how to live happily with each

C

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole of a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up (醒来) and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I'll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”

But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were clever mice and often said to their son. “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”

So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I'm glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”

The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and got the beautiful smell of cheese. It was only a few centimeters (厘米) away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat noises. Instead he heard a very quiet “woof, woof.”

“ It's a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won’t be there. I expect (料想) the dog has chased (追赶) the cat away, so I'm safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and saw the cat. The cat caught him and ate him.

When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself, “I'm glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”

6. （10分） （2011·宜宾）We talk every day. When we have good news, we like to share it with our good friends and when something terrible happens, we make it known to others soon. But can you imagine that a tree can talk and share hews too? Of course, no tree moves lips and says words just as people do. Strange as it may sound, though, some trees do manage to communicate with each other.

Willow(柳树) trees are the best-known of these trees. When insects(昆虫) begin nibbling(叮咬) a willow tree, the tree sends out a special smell at once. This smell tells the other willows that harmful insects are coming near. All of them quickly make a chemical(化学物质) in their leaves. This chemical is bad to the insects. The insects do not like it and they fly away soon. In this way, the willow trees protect themselves from the insects.

The next time when you take a walk in the woods, maybe the trees are “talking” to each other quietly. And when someone says that trees cannot “talk”, please tell them that even trees give messages to each other, too.

（1）Willow trees send messages with _________.

A . words

B . movements

C . smells

D . sounds

（3）The passage tells us that some of the trees can ________.

A . speak just as people do

B . tell stories to others

C . communicate with each other

Another thing-television. Another thing-television. Dogs hate television. Our owners watch these stupid programs，hour after hour，night after night. Are there any programs for dogs on television？No. Not a single one.
