B My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4-yearold has big blue eyes and easy laughter. The 7-year olds long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys heads. I love everything about these girls. and they know it.But I try not to tell them they re beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent about the pressures of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery, diets. “feeling fat”, or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this cruel reality we tend to start telling our girls,as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are. Heres the thing. though. What were also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way. ,the more Im conveying the importance of those things.However, it doesnt mean I dont praise my girls. Instead of saying “You look beatutiful!” I might say the more specific “Dont you look fancy today!” or “Those colors go so well together. ” It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in change of how they look.Naturally, I buy most of my girls clothes. But I dont usually manage their outfit （整套衣服）choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces and head-to-toe pink, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course weve seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what l or anyone else will say about how they look. And thats the confident spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.4What do the authors two daughters have in common?ABoth like to smile.BBoth have blond hair.CBoth like strawberries.DBoth have big blue eyes.5Why is the author unwilling to tell her girls that they are beautiful?AShe prefers inner beauty.BShe expects them to face reality.CShe wants them to focus less on it.DShe doesnt think they can understand it.6How does the author treat her daughters?AShe avoids praising them.BShe pays attention to their unique style.CShe is particular about their clothes.DShe sets strict clothing rules for them.7Which of the following best describe the authors daughters?AThey are fully confident.BThey are highly dependentCThey tend to take advice from their mother.DThey have a good taste in dressing themselves.

According to the latest study, the number of people over 60 years old is 130 million, making up 10 percent of the whole population, and increases at a rate of 3 percent per year. This marks that China has stepped into the aged society. It is the Chinese tradition to respect, love, support, and help old people, and the aging problem has received more and more attention from the society. China has built the system to protect and serve old peoples legal (法律的) rights and interests, gradually developed social insurance, public health services and social welfare (福利) projects for old people, and also applied the minimum living standard protection (最低生活保障) system for the aged who are unable to work and receive no supports. Now, China is bringing the aging problem into the work of sustainable (持续的) development according to Chinas conditions, to build and develop a social security system for old people, set up a system combined with the state, collectives (集体) and families to solve the problem of “the elderly should be provided for”. The life of Chinas old people is more colorful along with the fast and sound economic development of the country.Old people in todays China who dont have to consider their food and clothing hope to live more colorfully.

Many people wanted to donate something. We received donations that filled 29 boxes with sporting goods, toys, coloring books, pencils, childrens books, and more, The boxes were later taken to Drakes warehouse(仓库) where I prepared them for shipment. Drake agreed to ship them to Nepal for free .The boxes had arrived at the Volunteer House when we arrived there. The next day, Jason and I opened the boxes. The children from the orphanages(孤儿院) stood in a line and were able to choose a gift. This took about an hour, but the looks on their faces and the happiness that we saw in their eyes made it one of the best days of our life.We visited the orphanages there in the following days.
