Caring for birds, goats and a tortoise is all part of a living classroom.

High-school students in Arlington, Virginia are learning how to care for animals. They are at the animal science lab, learning about and taking care of nearly 50 kinds of animals.

Holding a rabbit in her arms, Elleny Alemu says it is "so cute". She says soon she will be getting one of her own.

Miguel Zambrano doesn't feel the same way about Snickers. Zambrano is feeding her hay(干草) , hoping she will let him brush her. "She gets mad if you sometimes don't even pay attention to her.

And she doesn't like people to ride her. "

Zambrano is one of 70 students taking the yearlong animal science program. Students learn in class and hands-on with the animals. It gives them a chance to learn what it is like to work with animals.

Sydney Miller takes a rabbit to walk, to give it exercise. She takes the animal on a leash(皮帶) , like a dog. They walk past other different kinds of animals. " I wanted to learn more about them and get a hands-on experience. "

Cleaning the rabbit's cage is something she didn't like to do. " I have to clean his dirty box and bedding every day. " But Miller hopes to be a vet one day.

Science teacher, Schall explains that the students are learning " hand taming (馴養(yǎng)) ". They have to hold them for at least 10 minutes. Yes,, that includes snakes and even a kind of deadly spider. Schall says she helps the student by first holding the animal herself.

Lab assistant(助手) Rebecca Brumbaugh helps the students. She says that like people, animals have minds of their own. "They have their feelings. Different animals have different personalities(個(gè)性) and they connect with different humans. "

Sign language users once had to meet at local deaf clubs to meet with friends , have conversations and share their ideas. In recent years, however, some websites have started to take the place of the deaf clubs, with Facebook leading the way. Videos can be watched online for long periods and groups are easy to set up and join.

Many deaf people enjoy being able to communicate more easily with their hearing colleagues (同事) , old school friends or family members. Deaf comedy actor John Smith says, " Before we had social networking sites , many deaf people were separated. Facebook provides a place where we can communicate with more people and drive away some of our frustrations about the barriers( 障礙) we face in everyday life. "

But it wasn't perfect because status updates(更新) had to be written in English text. In sign language, meaning is communicated through hands, facial expressions and body language. It has a different grammar and structure. Because of difficulties in learning language without hearing, many sign language users look on English as their second language and often aren't fluent in English. For example, in spoken English you might say, "The man climbed to the top of the big mountain. " But in sign language you'd show the mountain first, like this, " Mountain , big. Man climbed up it, all the way to the top. " You'd show how steep (陡峭的) the mountain was through your signs, and the effort the man took to climb it would be emphasized(強(qiáng)調(diào)) by your actions and facial expressions- almost like acting the part of the climber.

As time goes on, more and more deaf people prefer using Facebook instead. They will have fewer opportunities to meet and sign with each other face-to-face.

However, most deaf people think they benefit a lot from websites for deaf people. As Buxton says, " Facebook gives deaf people the confidence to come out and say things that they never would have said before because they didn't have the platform(平臺(tái)) to say them on. Confidence comes from being able to express your own thoughts in your own language. "

1.We can know from the first two paragraphs that _____ .

A. social websites make deaf people communicate more widely

B. Facebook has already taken the place of local clubs completely

C. deaf people can't spend any time in watching videos on websites

D. Facebook doesn't help deaf people communicate with each other

2.Deaf people usually have trouble in ______ according to Paragraph 3.

A. joining in online groups B. using body language skillfully

C. communicating through hands D. learning to write in English text

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. It will take deaf people less time to update their own computers.

B. There will be fewer local clubs for deaf people to meet together.

C. It is impossible for deaf people to express their thoughts online.

D. Deaf people will have no time to use sign language in local clubs.

Social media has become a part of our lives. It is the communication tool that children have been brought up with, but it is still illegal(違法的) for a Canadian child under the age of 13 to have a social media page.

This is a shame when you consider the learning opportunities that social media offers. At our school, Vernon Christian Elementary school in Vernon, B. C. , I can see how it provides children with the chance to learn how to communicate properly and effectively. If they want their friends to follow them or re-tweet (轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)) their messages, they must learn to write them creatively in an interesting and amusing style , attach (粘貼) pictures , and ask questions to invite a response. Students will learn a lot from the process.

Social media can also help students to sharpen up their writing skills. My students usually use the blog to keep a diary about something that interests them, and suddenly they appear to love writing.

So is it necessary to restrict (限制) students in the social media age? Not really. A survey has found that 59 percent of children have already used a social network by the time they are 10 , and 43 percent have messaged people they didn't know by the age of 12.

Of course, primary schools should care about the dangers of social media. Measures(措施) should be taken to protect students from the dangers. In our school , we have a social media platform with a teacher's dashboard (信息窗) where all activities can be managed. On one occasion, a boy wrote hurtful comments (評(píng)論) about a girl in a post message. After a discussion with him about why it is wrong to send hurtful emails, he was embarrassed and said sorry to the girl.

Over the past 23 years teaching in British Columbia, I have focused on computing. I therefore take notice of the bad effects of social media on primary students. However, social media offers learning and communicating opportunities to elementary students. More importantly, we cannot ignore(忽視) the fact elementary children are using social media. I strongly believe that exposing students to the social media will equip them to be wiser grow-ups in the future.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer has made students learn a lot by using social media as a teacher.

B. All the students can't be allowed to use social media in British Columbia.

C. In Canada , children under 13 have rights to use social media pages freely.

D. The writer has paid less attention to primary students in using social media.

2.The phrase "sharpen up" in the third paragraph means " _____ " .

A. achieve B. improve C. form D. practise

3.What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

A. More schools will encourage students to use social media skillfully.

B. It is necessary to stop the students from using social media at school.

C. Social media at school will make great influence on students' future.

D. It is so important to keep school websites safe in Information Age.

4.In the writer's opinion social media ______ at school.

A. will take the place of other learning styles slowly

B. can help students make a good habit of learning

C. will make students take less interest in learning

D. should be developed more widely among students

Would you like to go on a festival that is partly cut off from modern life? Do you want to visit a place where people still have a strong sense of local traditions? Let me introduce a festival that will meet your needs. The festival, called Up Helly Aa, is held in the Shetland Islands ,just off the coast of Scotland.

Many years ago, many of the Shetland Islands had days to celebrate the time when winter began to move towards spring. The early festivals had bonfires(篝火) and involved the whole neighborhood. They were quite dangerous. In one festival, barrels of burning tar (焦油 ) were pulled through the streets. Tar is very sticky and burns easily. Often, the barrels turned over as they were pulled along. The tar poured out, still burning, and houses on the street caught fire and burned down！So. in the early 1800s, the festivals were stopped.

But in 1877, Up Helly Aa started again. It was based on the early fire festivals. It is held about the same time every year, on the last Tuesday in January. The people who organized the first Up Helly Aa wanted to remind people that the festival was "traditional". So they used a Viking image(肖像) , which the early festival did not do. A wooden copy of a Viking ship is pulled through the streets and then burned on a huge bonfire. Men pull the ship through the streets with ropes. More men stand in lines on each side of the roads, holding burning sticks. All of them dress up as Vikings.

All the local people come to Up Helly Aa. But people come from all over the world to watch , too. Only local men can make the ship, pull it through the streets or hold the burning sticks. Women can't take part in this part of the festival , not even the local women. Anyone can go to watch, though.

Once the ship has been burned, there are lots of parties that go on all night. The women have been busy getting the parties ready all day. Everyone in the neighborhood , men, women and children, can go to the parties. There is lots of food and drinks. Often people sing and dance until early the next morning. So no one gets much sleep

1.Where do people have the festival?

2.When is the festival held every year?

3.What is pulled through the streets and burned on bonfires?

4.What do people do at the parties?

5.What's the passage mainly about?
