She comes home complaining （抱怨）about other children at school every day. None of the other children want to play with her. They make fun of her and no one wants to sit by her at lunch. My heart is broken when I hear her words. When I suggest things she should try, she tells me that I don't understand her. When I try to find out what is really going on, she gets even more upset and cries harder. What can I do to help her?Sarah Dear Sarah,We all want our children to be accepted by other children and it hurts us when they are not. We want to march right up to school, shake those children, and say "Don't treat my baby in this way!" Our task, however, is to keep our expectations, worry, and anger to ourselves and do something positive （积极的）for our children. We must encourage our children to solve their own problems.If you want to help your daughter, the best thing you can do is accept her feelings. I know how hard it is not to do something to help our children with their friend problems, but they will always refuse our advice. When your daughter comes to you with her complaints, listen without saying a word. Try to see what your daughter is feeling and ignore the words. When you think you know what she is feeling, let her know that you know. She needs to express her feelings and you just allow her to do that.Sit and listen for as long as she wants to talk, or cry. If you need to say something, let her know that her feelings are acceptable. They often need to be encouraged to solve their own problems. We may have to listen for a long time before they move from complaints （抱怨）to problem-solving. They need our support and encouragement but they don't need or want our advice .Trust your daughter to learn and grow from this experience. You will, too.Elaine Gibson24.

Now we have the shopping guide for you： a set of easy — to — carry flashcards that explain in brilliant color what those little plants will look like when they all grow up.Native plants just aren't that easy to understand fo r traditional gardeners. “That's why staff （员工）at the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers & Native Plants began creating some good information into the world of native plants," said Kitty Connolly. "Everybody needs to learn about natives if we're going to have them, in our future, but it's difficult to get information to everyone at once. We wanted something that would be useful to everyone. "The group decided to create flashcards only about the size and shape of an iPhone 6. “You can take them apart and put them on a table to see how plants go with other plants. They don't replace a website or great books on the shelf； they're just easier to carry and use for planning, said Mike Evans. While the cards are very small, they include a lot of information. You can find how tall and wide a particular plant will grow, when it blooms, how quickly it grows, what birds and animals it attracts and how much water and sunlight it needs.The cards don't include all native plants. They don't include milkweed, for example. But they are helpful for people to learn native plants.The price of the cards is $ 17. They are only sold online. If people have the cards , they can more easily request the plants they want. The director said, “We create the cards with the hop e that people can learn more about native plants and grow them. "28.

They're forced to buy many plants.29. How does Mike Evans like the flashcards?A. They are too big.B. They are easy to carry.C. They are too expensive.D. They are difficult to buy.30. What can we know about the flashcards from the text?A. They can be bought in a local food store.B. They have a bigger size than an iPhone 6.C. They are helpless for people to learn plants.D. They show information of some kinds of native plants,31. Which is the best title of the text?A. Little Plants Look the SameE. Native Plants Are Sold OnlineC. Plant Nurseries Won't Grow Native PlantsD. Flashcards Will Help You Learn Native PlantsDIt's likely that you don't think you've invited a spy 间谍）into your home when setting up a new TV. But new Samsung, LG, and Vizio smart TVs can record and share everything that's viewed, whether it's a broadcast or something streaming from the Internet. And some smart TVs can even track what DVD you're watching.Your viewing habits are valuable information for marketers who might want to use the information to advertise （广告）new shows and products, offer extra content on shows you want to watch. The advertisements are like the ones you see on your computer.You might not realize that you allowed TVs to collect your viewing habits when you agreed to the long privacy policy （隐私政策）during setup. With Samsung, there are 47 screens of text. LG and Vizio also ask you to agree to the privacy policy in thousands of words in fine print.When Consumer Reports emailed the makers to ask how they are using the technology, representatives （代表）for Samsung and Vizio didn't say anything. An LG representative said that the company isn't using any data to send personalized ads and has no plans to do so. But Consumer Reports says that could change at any time.You might think, “How can I turn those advertisements off?" It's not always so easy. To stop tracking, you have to fight your way through menu settings. On an LG set, go to settings , then options, then Live plus, click off, then close. With Vizio, it's like a long tour through three menus to turn off the advertisements. With Samsung, it's a similar trip to find the box "SyncPlus and Marketing” to disable it.Consumer Reports says that countermanding the marketing feature may cause you to lose some extra services from makers, but it's more important to protect your privacy.32. What will the marketers use customers' viewing habits to do?A. Build a good relationship with customers.B. Collect some suggestions about shows.C. Advertise new shows and products.D. Improve the quality of smart TVs.33. How does Consumer Reports think of what the LG representative said?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Reasonable.D. Believable.34. What's the main idea of paragraph 5?A. How we learn to use TVs’ settings.B. How we can get more shows from TV.C. How we send personal information to others.D. How we stop advertisements from appearing on the screen.35. Which word can replace the underlined word "countermanding" in the last paragraph?A. cancellingB. readingC. researchingD. learning第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选岀能填人空白处的最佳选项。
