假设你叫李明，下面是你的一位外国笔友Kristie给你写的电子邮件，询问有关小悦悦事件的情况。
Dear Li Ming,
I learned from a news flash that a two-year-old baby girl was ignored by more than a dozen passers-by after being run over twice in a south China town．I'm very shocked．I used to think the Chinese were hardworking and kindhearted, and they really were when I was on a visit in China two years ago．So I doubt whether it was true news．Can you tell me what you learned about this incident?
Sincerely yours,
Kristie

On Saturday afternoon, Li Hua and Wang Ping, members from “ Green Eyes”, was having an environmental protection activity near the riverside when they catch sight of a bird on the ground
They picked it out and found it wounded．Thinking it might die without timely help, they took it to home．They made a nest for it but fed it with rice and water．Under their treatment and care, the lucky birds got recovered soon．When time came for them fly the bird back to nature, they felt a bit pity but very delighting．
I think it’s worthwhile for him to do such a thing．Here I call on the public to show respect for nature．Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along good with it．

When you are hungry, what will you respond ? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？ 1 But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next？”, or “Why can’t I think？”
2 Why reading but not watching TV？It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to take help from reading．
When you read a book，of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you． 3 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things，which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity． 4 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．
So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading． 5 Go and get a book!
A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．
B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．
D．Now what are you waiting for?
E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading．
F．Reading can help you make more friends, too．
G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary．
From her first women's hat shop, opened in 1910, Gabrielle Coco Chanel rose to become one of the most important fashion designers in Paris. Her fashion themes included simple suits and dresses, women's trousers, perfume (香水) and so on.
She claimed a birth date of 1893 and a birthplace of Auvergne; she was actually born in 1883 in Saumur, though. Her mother worked in a nursing home for pool people. Gabrielle was born there. Her mother died whet she was only six.
She began to use the name Coco during a brief career a, a cafe and concert singer from 1905 to 1908. By the 1920s，her fashion house had expanded greatly. Her relaxing fashions, such as short skirts with casual look, were very different from the fashions popular in the formal decades.
In 1922 Chanel introduced a perfume, Chanel No.5 which became very popular and still remains a popular product today. Pierre Wertheimer became her partner in the perfume business in 1924. Wertheimer owned 70% of the company, Coco Chanel 10% and her friend, Bader, 20%. The Wertheimers continue to control the perfume company today.
She briefly served as a nurse in World War I. The fashion business in Paris was thus off for some years. In 1954 she came back and her women's clothing business returned to its former popularity.

Washington: A research conducted at the University of Maryland looks at the numerous complex reasons as to why young children decide to include or exclude (排斥) other kids from their group of friends.
It suggests that the kids' decision-making process is much more complex than previously believed.
"They take into account group information, ranging from cliques (小圈子) and networks, when deciding what makes a group work well. Sometimes kids are excluded because they lack social skills, but a lot of time it has nothing to do with that. Instead it has to do with what we refer to as 'group membership' such as gender, race, nation, and culture," says Professor Melanie Killen, the Associate Director of the Centre for Children Relationships and Culture at Maryland, who led the 4-year project.
Reporting their findings in the journal, the researcher said whatever was the reason, individuals who experienced long-term exclusion (排斥) from the group of friends suffered from depression, anxiety and loneliness.
The study looked at two models to define how children make decisions regarding acceptance of other kids in their group -- the individual social deficit model and the inter-group social cognition (认同) model. While the former says that children's rejection occurs due to social deficits like shyness, wariness or fearfulness, the latter says that it happens because of group dynamics, prejudice and exclusion.
It was also found that the age of children was also a factor that influenced their decisions regarding other kids' acceptance as friends.
"With age, kids become more aware of group dynamics, conventions, customs, and rituals. With this comes a greater concern about group functioning, which can lead to exclusion which can be negative from a social justice viewpoint," says Killen.
The researcher believes that her study may have many benefits, as it could provide insights into how to help when children are rejected by their peers.
1.While making friends, kids think more about the following EXCEPT ______.
A. social skills B. culture C. race D. gender

C. seek ways to help kids excluded by their peers
D. stop the children belonging to the inter-group social cognition model
4.While making friends, children exclude those of social deficit model to _______.
A. keep their groups purer
B. make their groups more socially powerful
C. refuse other customs and cultures
D. prove their groups to be strict
