to get angry and it s best for your child if you do Let s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won t do it again Researchers say the best way for parents to react 反应 is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they re calm before scolding their children But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child Peter was crying because you hit him is not likely to attract much attention Young children need to be scolded immediately and strongly before they ll take criticism 批评 to heart When your young child does something wrong scold him or her seriously at once At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good 5 Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well but only when taken together with an explanation Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry you still love him or her Use simple direct words such as You hurt peter How would you feel if he hit you You must never never hurt people If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly your message will carry enough weight 9

sharks But it was the boxfish 盒子鱼 that interested them We were surprised when this clumsy looking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic 空气动力学的 car says Thomas Weber He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency The boxfish may look clumsy but it can start stop back up and zigzag 曲折前进 through the water with ease And it does all this using surprisingly little energy Daimler s bionic 仿生学的 car is modeled on the fish s boxy skeletal 骨骼的 system Like the fish the car is fast and drives easily It s efficient too The science behind nature inspired inventions is called biomimicry 生物 仿生 Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term As co founder of the Biomimicry Guild she has worked with cereal companies sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Nature s best ideas This month the Nature s 100 Best List will be revealed at the World Conservation Congress 代表大会 in Barcelona Spain Benyus co authored the list of nature inspired designs with economist Gunter Pauli In Zimbabwe a country in southern Africa engineers designed energy efficient buildings modeled on termite 白蚁

becomes bumpy 不平的 just like the lotus leaf Rain drops form on the bumps and roll off carrying dirt along with them Nature has done billions of years of research Only the best designed products have survived Companies owe Mother Nature a debt for all that hard work says Benyus For scientists and inventors the possibilities for copying nature are limitless Technology may never be as efficient as nature or as colorful But that doesn t mean we should stop trying to learn from the world around us Take a walk outside Watch a squirrel climb up a tree Look closely at the veins 纹 理 of a leaf Hear

B Zimbabwe engineers learned from termites to create highly advanced heating systems C After the boxfish many other ideas of new products are borrowed from nature D Nature is a good source to turn to for improving technology 7 The clumsy looking boxfish interested the scientists because of the following reasons EXCEPT that A it swims using little energy B being boxy it looks quite like a car C some engineers had researched on how to swim easily in the water D it is a speedy swimmer 8 Why did top engineers in Germany go to the natural history museum A They wanted to pay a visit to the animals there because they were so lovely B They wanted to carry out a research of boxfish and dolphins C They wanted to search for a model to base on for building a more efficient car D They wanted
