A heavy rain hits Chongqing one day and makes the river rise. When the rain stops, people there see a dog called Huahua swim across the river to an island(岛屿) 3 times a day for 2 weeks.Why? Her four children are on the island. She swims every day to milk her babies.
Animals show love the same way people do, and Huahua is not the only example. British scientiest Jane Goodall spends 14 years living with chimpanzees(大猩猩) in Africa. She finds that chimpanzees care for each other when others get hurt(伤害) or lose their parents. “It is not only humans(人类) who are clever and responsible( 有责任心 ) , animals also are,” she says.
Two birds in Chengdu show parental love when their child is hurt and falls on the street in the center of the city. Cars keep driving past but the brave parents run fast down to the road and get the little bird away.
Animals not only love their own children but also care for other animal babies. A British newspaper says a chimpanzee namned Anjanan in an animal center takes care of a baby lion. She milks the lion carefully every day. “They are just like mother and son,” a worker of the center says.
1.How many children has the dog Huahua got?
2.Do chimpanzees care for each other like humans?
3.What do “the brave parents” do?
4.How does Anjana take care of the baby lion?
5.What can we learn from the passage?
Going to a new school can be difficult, but this passage will help you in the beginning. Here is something to help you to fit in(融入).
First, take a day to enjoy your school. You won’t fit in at school if you don’t know the school. Ask for a school map. Try to get to know every corner of your new school. A good school handhook can be of great help. But to make it easy, ask the people near you where something is—tell people that you are new when you need help.
Be nice to everyone. Be nice to everyone, the young or the old, because they might just be your next teacher or friend.
Get to know your teachers and pay attention in class. Teachers always pay attention to(关注) new students, Talk to them and find out more about them. Never test their limits(底线)—don’t go too far, or you may end up getting into trouhle(麻烦)
You need to make friends. Talk to different people. Be yourself and don’t lie. This is YOUR school now, take a chance(机会) on being who you weren’t at your old school. Join a few clubs or sports teams and make more friends in this way.
Be yourself and be polite. Don’t worry too much about what people think of you. Be true, be yourself, and be nice to everyone, no matter how mean(unfriendly) they may seem at first. It’s often the “girl/boy that I did’t like at my new school” that ends up being my friend after a little while. But then again, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself if it’s very clear that you should.
Work hard to fit in while still being yourself. The first few weeks are always hard, but you’ll soon get used to it.
