【題目】The moment Jane, just nine months old, saw another baby fall, tears came into her own eyes and she crawled (爬) off to her mother 1 (comfort) as though it was she who had been hurt.

Even 4 (month) after birth, babies react to a pain in others as if it 5 (be) their own, crying when they see another child’s tears. 6 about one year old, they start to realize the pain is not their own but someone else’s. In a study, for example, a one-year-old brought his own mother over to comfort a crying friend, 7 (ignore) the friend s mother, 8 was also in the room. This confusion is seen too when one-year-old babies imitate (模仿) the pain of someone else, possibly to 9 (well) understand how they are feeling. For example, if another baby hurts her fingers, a one-year-old might put her fingers in her mouth to see if she hurts, too. On seeing his mother cry, one baby wiped his own eyes, 10 there were no tears in his eyes.

How to make friends
Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and improves health.

But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.
Associate with others.
The first step in making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.
Start a conversation
Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.

Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.
Let it grow

As the saying goes, “many little drop of water make an ocean.” A small action may lead to major changes in society. My friends and I participated a voluntary activity at a nursing home last week. We first did some cleaning or washing. After that we spend half an hour chat with the old people living there. Though it was a tired day, we were happy with that we did. I felt a sense of responsibility by visiting the old. If all of us lend a helping hand to the people in the need, we can live in harmony with each other. A society is just like a family. If they are willing to help others, our small action can make a bigger difference.

【題目】Why Walking Your Dog Is Great Exercise

Having trouble sticking to an exercise program?Research shows that dogs are actually nature's perfect personal trainers-loyal,hard-working,energetic and enthusiastic.Your friends may skip an exercise session because of appointments,extra chores or bad weather.1

Is dog walking really effective exercise?Many people are becoming interested in exercise to help lose excess weight.2Dog owner-ship and obesity were evaluated in Seattle,Wash.,and Baltimore,Md.,in a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine in September 2008.Dog owners who reported walking their dogs were almost 25 percent less likely to be obese than people without dogs.

What are the benefits of regular exercise?Dr.Joanna Kruk reviewed medical literature describing the health benefits of exercise.Her research showed that the risk of developing a number of serious health problems is reduced by physical activity and exercise.

3It's easy to forget about healthy walking plans,so set the stage for a successful program: Establish a walking schedule; plan to walk 30 minutes total each day.This might include a 10-minute neighborhood walk in the morning and a 20-minute romp at the dog park after work.Or maybe three 10-minule walks or one 30-minute walk fit in better with your day.

If dog walking is "scheduled" each day,you'll feel more responsible for sticking with your program.4Most importantly,daily walking your dog will keep it fit and give it an opportunity to utilize their senses while also engaging their mind.

So,grab a leash,whistle to the pup,and go for a walk-today and every day! Take action!5

A.Plan for success.

B.Track your progress.

C.This will reinforce your good behavior.

D.Dog walking is a great way to start a healthy lifestyle program.

E.However,dogs never give you an excuse to delay exercising.

F.Plus,your dog will also get used to the routine and remind you when "it's time"!

G.Obesity is affecting about one in every three to four adults in the United States and Europe.
