For your guidance, the Bellevue Fire Department offers the following：Fire SettingFire setting is the term used to describe the behavior of children who have begun to use fire in a dangerous way. Through the Juvenile Fire Stoppers Program, children can gain the skills to alter this dangerous behavior. Do not put off dealing with this behavior. Fire is a devastating and deadly force.Motivations for Fire SettingChildren set fire for the following reasons：CuriosityAbout 75 percent of children set fires, because they are curious. The opportunity is there because the child has access to fire tools and is not supervised. He or she decides to see what fire will do.ReactionaryReactionary fire setters are usually older, upset about something and not very good at expressing themselves. They typically light a fire as a way to let grownups know they need help. Their fire setting is in reaction to a problem. Delinquent_BehaviorUsually delinquent fire setters light fires for fun. Most of the time, its a prank(恶作剧) or because of a dare. Most fire setters in this group dont realize they are breaking the law and could go to jail. What you can do：Set a good example. If you smoke, be responsible for your use of matches and lighters.Children learn by watching you.Keep matches and lighters out of childrens sight and reach. Even toddlers (学步的儿童) can use lighters and matches to start a fire.Teach your children that if their clothes catch fire, they should not run, but stop, drop and roll.

She is quiet but alert (警觉). Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze (凝视) starts to lose its focusuntil a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after ing into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number or spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a b, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.5. The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the babys _.A. sense of hearing B. sense of sightC. sense of touch D. sense of smell6. Babies are sensitive to the change in _.A. the size of cards B. the colour of picturesC. the shape of patterns D. the number of objects7. Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies interest.8. Where does this text probably e from?A. Science fiction. B. Childrens literature.C. An advertisement. D. A science report.文章大意刚刚出生的婴儿对眼前出现的不同图片和物体的数量有没有概念呢？他们对视觉和声音的变化敏感吗？对此，研究者进行了一系列的试验。5B。考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced.”可知，第一段描述的试验主要针对的是婴儿的视觉(sense of sight)。6D。考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card.”可知，当图片上物体的数量发生变化时，婴儿注视图片的时间增加了一倍。由此可知，婴儿对物体数量的变化非常敏感。7C。考查推理判断。根据第二段的内容可知，研究者变换了对婴儿的刺激方式，是为了更深入地进行研究。因此研究者让婴儿听鼓声是为了进行深入的研究。8D。考查推理判断。本文介绍了对婴儿进行的试验、试验的经过、结果等，因此本文可能来自于一份科学报告。Cxx云南省高中毕业班复习统一检测Smile and keep up the spirit; everything is temporary.Problems are the steps we need to acquire better things.Problems are new opportunities to learn what we need to know to avoid making mistakes, to start over，to do the best we can，with a new attitude，the right attitude.Everything is for good.At the end of the tunnel there is always light. The important thing is that regardless of any barrier we face, we dont stop moving forward while we are in the darkness of that tunnel. To stay in such darkness, to sigh，or to wait for somebody to feel pity or sorry for us doesnt solve anything.It is important to understand that walking in that unavoidable dark tunnel is a blessing in disguise since it bees part of our experience, it makes us grow and it is one of the two ways that forces us to form our character. Benjamin Franklin said, “We either buy wisdom, paying for our mistakes, or take it borrowed, learning from other peoples mistakes.”To stay in the misery or blame others does you no good. You are bigger than any challenge; you have everything you need to make it through and succeed. Dont stop！Continue moving forward! Dont stay in that mental dark zone. In this zone there is no growth, only insecurity(不安)Regardless of all fears, it is necessary to keep moving forward. There are a lot of blessings waiting for you! The riches of life are for those who have the courage and perseverance(坚持不懈) to take action. Life may not be fair; it is for sure that all of us will pay for our mistakes. That is unavoidable, but what makes us grow is not how many times life beats us, but how many times we get up and try.Who hasnt gone through bad times？The important thing is to see, understand, and accept life as it is. Everybody makes mistakes! Once we make a decision and take action, there is no way to go back. Life cannot be, nor will it be otherwise. Being irresponsible, blaming, or justifying(为辩护) our actions and mistakes keeps us from growing.1In Paragraph 2 the author advises us to _.Aignore the difficult situationBwait for help when in troubleCkeep moving in times of trouble Dbe careful of any barrier we face2What Benjamin Franklin said proves that_.Asome people dont make mistakesBmaking mistakes is unavoidableCwe have to pay for our mistakesDmistakes can be beneficial to us3Which of the following statements would the author agree to according to the passage?A.

We should bear in mind that life is equal to everyone.4The author writes the passage mainly to _.A. encourage readers to pursue their dreamsB. advise readers to get out of the fort zoneC. call on readers to feel confident about their futureD. convince readers to look on problems as opportunities文章大意在人生路上，每个人都会遇到困难和挑战。如果我们能够培养良好的心态，把困难看作前进的垫脚石，勇往直前，最终我们就能够克服困难，走向成功。1C。考查细节理解。根据第二段第三句可知，作者建议我们遇到困难时，不要止步不前。2D。 考查推理判断。在第三段中，作者引用了富兰克林的话，是为了证明前面作者的观点：错误使我们成长，错误有助于塑造我们的性格。3B。考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段第三句可知，作者认为，生活中的财富属于那些有勇气、有毅力的人。可见作者认为勇气和毅力是成功的要素。4D。考查写作意图。通览全文，作者旨在劝说读者要把生活中的困难看作前进的台阶，努力拼搏，克服困难，开创未来。Dxx石家庄市高三模拟Royal baby Prince George may have been big news when he was born last week，but he is put in the shade by this infant who weighed almost a stone at birth.When he was born last Monday, he was the largest royal baby in over 100 years，weighing 8 lb 6 oz，and was described as“a big boy and quite heavy” by his parents.But on Friday a baby girl named Jasleen became Germanys heaviest ever newborn at 13 lb 7 oz when she came into the world without a caesarean(剖腹产手术)Mother and baby are currently being cared for at the neonatal ward of the University Hospital in Leipzig, reports Der Spiegel.Jasleens mother only arrived at the hospital on the day of the birth, and doctors discovered that she had suffered from an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes (孕期糖尿病), a condition that can cause excessive birth weight in the newborn child.Jasleen, who is 22.6 inches long, easily steals the crown from Germanys previous heaviest baby Jihad Yagi, who weighed 13 lb when he was born in November 2011.In March British mum Jade Packer, gave birth naturally to a 15 lb 7 oz baby boy named George, the second largest baby ever to be born in the UK.He was more than double the average for a newborn, at Gloucester Royal Infirmary.After he arrived two weeks late his mum said, “He was a surprisea big surprise, as it turned out.”“To be honest, I dont remember it so much.
