raised without pets. conducted by pets at home, the survey of 1, 000 pet-owning children suggests that those who share a home with one or more pets are not only just physically healthier but also enjoy mental health benefits from pet ownership. nearly half of survey respondents（受试者）reported that living with a pet makes them happier. thirty percent of those surveyed said they feel calmer in the presence of pets, and twenty percent said their pets actually make them feel more intelligent. wildlife tv presenter michaela strachan said she has seen evidence of those findings in her own children in an interview. “i have a seven-year-old son and three older stepchildren（继子）. we have a jack russell terrier and my stepdaughter has two rescue dogs. toto, our dog, is part of our family and has brought huge benefits to ollie, my son. jades two rescue dogs, marley and timmy, have had a really positive impact,” she said. the survey also notes that more than a third of children living with pets said they have become more caring, and that they feel a greater overall sense of responsibility. twenty percent of survey participants said having pets makes them feel more confident when speaking with others. parents who worried that pets will distract their children from their studies should allay those concerns: the majority (79%) of those surveyed claimed that their pets have had a positive effect on their homework. strachan agrees. “owning a pet can bring so much pleasure to a family. it can increase a childs sense of responsibility, nurture (培养) a more caring attitude and develop self-confidence and, in the case of having a dog, it encourages kids to go outside more. there can be so many benefits.”12. what can we learn from the survey by pets at home? a. children raised with pets do everything better. b. all the children surveyed have more than one pet. c. most respondents show positive attitude towards pet-owing. d. the survey was conducted by 1,000 pet-owning children.13.the writer uses michaela strachans case to _. a. express her own opinion on pets b. prove that strachans love for pets c. make the readersinterested in the topic d. support the findings of the survey14.what conclusion can be drawn from the passage? a.pet-owning children benefit a lot from per ownership. b.we should raise pets to make a happy family. c.pets can help human beings in different ways. d.relationships between children and pets are valuable.15. the passage most probably comes from the _ section of a magazine. a. natureb.petc. lifed. biology 第二节（共5小题；毎小题2分，满分10分）

that requires work and effort to make it strong and successful. parenting is a tough job, and maintaining close relationships and open communications helps to ensure parents and their children stay connected through all ages of their upbringing. here are 5 simple tips for enhancing the bond between parent and child.1. eat meals as a familyyouve heard this before, and it is really important! eating together sets the stage for conversation and sharing. 16 . when schedules permit, really talk and enjoy one another. it can become a quality time most remembered by young and old alike. 2. play with your children the key is to really play with your children. play with dolls, balls, make-believe, checkers, sing songs, or whatever is fun and interesting. 17 . let kids see your silly side. older kids enjoy cards, chess, computer games, while younger ones will have fun playing about anything. as long as it involves you! 3. 18 parents sometimes unconsciously miss out on opportunities to develop closer relationships by not allowing their children to help them with various tasks and chores. unloading groceries after going to the store is a good example of something that children of most ages can and should assist with. choosing which shoes look better with your dress lets a child know you value her opinion. 4. develop and maintain a special bedtime ritual（惯例）for younger children, reading a favorite bedtime book or telling stories is a ritual that will be remembered most likely throughout their life. 19 . once children start reading, have them read a page, chapter, or short book to you. even most teenagers still enjoy the ritual of being told goodnight in a special way by a parent even if they dont act like it! 5. establish a special name or code wordcreate a special name for your child that is positive and special or a secret code word that you can use between each other. 20 . the code word can be established to have special meaning between your child and you that only you two understand. this code word can even be used to extract a child from an uncomfortable situation without causing undue embarrassment to the child. a. use the name as a simple enhancement of your loveb. turn the tv off, and dont rush through a mealc. let your children help youd. it doesnt matter what you play, just enjoy each othere. older children should not be neglected
