What happens after an earthquake？We send in rescue dogs.Why？Because they 2 can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat. How does it work？First ，the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens，the rats brain gives a signal (信号) This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rats brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University，New York，says， “Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.”Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they dont need electricity! The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says， “It would be fantastic.A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to，and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake，of course) 语篇解读 人人痛恨的老鼠不久将在地震后的救援中成为人们的好朋友。 1In the world earthquake capitals，rats will become mans best friends because they can_.

Children often turn to adults for information， comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm，answer childrens questions honestly and remain understanding when they see changes in their childrens behavior. 4 Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages，developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往)，while others will have angry outbursts (爆发) Parents should remain sensitive to each childs reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children，letting them know that its OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks，parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again.For young children，parents，after talking about the earthquake，might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down.Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them.They could play games outside or read together indoors.Most importantly，be sure to tell them you love them. 语篇解读 本文就震后如何帮助孩子恢复身心健康向家长提出了有关的建议。 5The underlined phrase “contend with” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “_” Adeal with Bmake up Cput off Dturn back 解析： 词义猜测题。根据上下文可推出此处 contend with 意思为“处理” 。与 deal with 接近。 答案： A 6When children ask the same question again，parents should_.
