From my personal experiences as a student leader I can tell you that there is no single 41 of leadership 42 with students leaders You are a leader a student and a peer so this role can be especially difficult to manage As a student leader you deal with academic 43 as well as added pressure of leading group of your peers As the president of Fuse the contemporary dance group at Colgate University I experienced many ups and downs with Thankfully my passion for this dance club gave me the 45 to lead my fellow dancers Finding an activity that is both enjoyable and 46 is the first step In order to be a good leader you must be personally interested in what you are leading whether it s debating cooking or robotics In my case dance has always been of interest to me from my grandfather teaching me salsa to early childhood training with ballet and so I always that dance would be part of my life Once I arrive on my college campus ready for my college adventure I had a sudden 47 wandering around the Student Activities Fair I saw no contemporary or modern dance clubs I panicked After meeting a fellow dancer at Freshmen Orientation we found that we shared the same passion and desire to start a

with whistles chirps and chucks which sound like the word chuck Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel speak Hare a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg and his team managed to record squirrels alarm calls The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture 抓拍 their reponses Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became Alert 警惕的 Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves In effect then whistles that mix with chucks say there s an enemy of average threat that s here and whistles without chucks say there s an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere while pure chirps say I m hiding here because there s an immediate danger Hare told Discovery News Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats other squirrels might admire this behaviour thus increasingly the caller s social status like humans who look up to heroes Hare added that other animals such as birds probably understand at least some squirrel language since they also may benefit from the alarm calls In fact another Canadian study found that deep voiced black capped chickadees have their own language too According to certain research there are a lot of tidings in chickadees calls such as directing fellows activities keeping in contact between mates and raising alarms While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners squirrels are frequently viewed as pests 害兽 Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals 65 The text mainly talks about A the study on the language of squirrels B the comparison between squirrels and chickadees C the calling for the protection of squirrels D the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies 66 If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation it would probably make A whistles with chucks B pure chirps C whistles without chucks D repeated

and removed her infected leg A false leg was made for her The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it After the operation Molly walked around on all four legs as if nothing had ever happened to her Now with every step she takes she stamps a smile in the dirt But she leaves her m ark in other ways too Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center There were children there who like Molly had artificial arms or legs They were amazed to see a pony with a

example doesn t want iPhones to come closer to you than 1 5 centimeters Research In Motion BlackBerry s manufacturer recommends 2 5 centimeters If health issues arise from cell phone use the possible effects are huge Voice calls Americans chat on cell phones 2 26 trillion 万亿 minutes annually earn 109 billion for the wireless carriers Devra Davis an expert who has worked for the University of Pittsburgh has published a book about cell phone radiation Disconnect The book surveys scientific research and concludes the question is not settled Brain cancer is a concern that Ms Davis examines Over all there has not been an increase in its incidence since cell phones arrived But the average masks an increase in brain cancer in the 20 to 29 age group and a drop for the older population Most cancers have multiple causes she says but she points to laboratory research that suggests low energy radiation could damage cells that could possibly lead to cancer Children are more vulnerable 易受伤的 to radiation than adults Ms Davis and other scientists point out Radiation that penetrates only five centimeters into the brain of an adult will reach much deeper into the brains of children because their skulls are thinner and their brains contain more absorptive fluid 易吸收的液体 No studies have yet been completed on cell phone radiation and children she says Henry Lai a research professor in the bioengineering department at the University of Washington began laboratory radiation studies in 1980 and found that rats exposed to radiation had damaged DNA in their brains Ms Davis recommends using

extra heading which you do not need A Try to know more about your child B Being a daddy is your top priority C Value your child for what he is D Let your child teach you E Time is of the essence F Look for the good and praise it Seven Simple Rules for Dad My main object in life is to make sure I do the best possible job raising Tommy now aged ten That means I have to be the best possible father I can be I am no psychologist but I do see what succeeds with my son and me I also observe other fathers Here is what I have found works best in the dad department 1 76 The key to a happy child is having a dad who is there with him consistently day in and day out It is far better to spend evening after evening just sitting near him while he reads a book or plays on the computer than to spend a couple of hours every Saturday buying him toys or taking in a movie 2 Share your strengths and fears You are your child s ally not his adversary The child who knows that his father was once afraid of the dark and is still afraid of needles gets to know that his own weaknesses are part of mankind not a unique shame 3 77 Encouragement is the primary engine of human development I have been telling Tommy for a year now that he is a whiz in math because I know he can calculate in a nanosecond the number of toys he can buy with his allowance Now he s a whiz in math at school too Consistent recognition of a child s strengths is more important by far than vitamins You deny it to them at their peril and yours 4 Do not allow your children to be rude My son is expected to share answer others when they greet him and congratulate those who succeed By teaching him about politeness I make sure he realizes that others feelings are worth taking into account If he can get that into his little towhead he will have learned the most basic foundation of human interaction 5 78 A common misstatement about child development is that kids don t come with instruction manuals 操作指南 Not true they do They tell you when they re hungry They tell you when they re lonely or scared They are like little guided tours of themselves Children will tell you what they want although not always with words Fatigue irritability and sadness are ways of telling Dad what they need Look and listen 6 79 When Tommy knows he is loved for himself not for any particular accomplishment he has a certain peace that allows him to learn better sleep better play better be more helpful around the house Whether he becomes a rocket scientist or a plumber I want Tommy to know he s No 1 with me 7 80 If you decide your kids come before your sales quota or bridge game you will find that all the other pieces of Daddyhood fall into place When you put your kids first you re getting the most value for every hour on earth What s more you have made the rightest decision of your life BENJAMIN J STEIN in The Washingtonian Section D Directions Read the passage carefully Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words In so many ways cyberspace 网络空间 mirrors the real world People ask for information play games and share hobby tips Others buy and sell products Still others look for friendship or even love Unlike the real world however your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace Rather a person s thoughts or at least the thoughts they type are what really count So even the shyest person can become a chat room star Usually this faceless communication doesn t create problems Identity doesn t
