“There’s a mother in PICU(兒童重癥監(jiān)護(hù)病房)who wants to talk about a kit she received,” the nurse told me. “Something about it made her cry.”

I’ve been a child-1ife specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital since 2000. I help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick child. Tough talks with parents are part of the job, which still makes me feel nervous.

The kits the nurse was talking about were something I had recently introduced to the hospital: Comfort Kits from Guideposts. They were supposed to make a child’s experience here easier, not upsetting.

When I came across the kits at a conference. I fell in love with them. A treasure box of items designed not only to entertain kids, but to comfort and inspire them. There’s a coloring book, a stress ball, a CD of relaxing music, a hairy star named Sparkle, a journal and much more. I really believed these kits would help kids. I wished I hadn’t been mistaken.

At the patient’s room in PICU I saw a little girl, sleeping soundly, surrounded by tubes and machines. My eyes met her mother's. The kit was open on her lap and tears were running down her cheeks.

“I'm Shannon. I manage the Child Life Department.” I said. “I'm sorry if the kit upset you .It’s a new item…”

The mother shook her head. “This has been one of the worst days of my life .I felt so scared and alone. Then I was handed this box. I know it’s for my daughter, but it's just the comfort I needed. I wanted to say thank you.”

With that I knew Comfort Kits belonged here. We’ve been using them for almost three years now. Each child who’s admitted to the hospital receives one. Every day I see kids coloring, journaling, playing with Sparkle.

But as this mom showed me Comfort Kits aren’t just for kids. The hope they bring, which can be in short supply in hospitals sometimes, is felt by the whole family.

1.The author introduced Comfort Kits to the hospital to_________.

A. relax nurses B. benefit sick kids

C. comfort parents D. cure kids of diseases

2.Why was the girl’s mother crying?

A. She was moved to tears. B. She felt alone and scared.

C. She couldn’t wake her kid. D. She worried about her kid’s illness.

3.The closest in meaning to “which can be in short supply in hospitals sometimes” is_______.

A. kits are in great need in hospitals

B. there may be lack of hope in hospitals

C. parents are often in low spirits in hospitals

D. medical supplies are not enough in hospitals

4.What’s the author's attitude towards Comfort Kits?

A. Disappointed. B. Excited.

C. Nervous. D. Confident.

Red wolves used to be a common sight across the southeastern United States.But today,there are just 50 left in the wild.

The red wolf is one of the most endangered wild canine species（犬科動(dòng)物）in the world.In the past five years, the species' population in the wild has dropped by half.The US Fish and Wildlife Service had been working for decades to reintroduce the species into the wild,but the organization recently put the program on hold.

According to Cindy Dohner,the southeast regional director for the Fish and Wildlife Service,the agency is focusing on "our commitment to get the science right and rebuild trust with our neighbors in those communities as we address problems regarding the recovery of the red wolf."But the animal-rights group Defenders of Wildlife said on its website that the decision made by the Fish and Wildlife Service "falls well short of what is needed to continue red wolf recovery."

The red wolf was declared an endangered species in 1967.By 1980,it had been hunted to extinction（滅絕）in the wild.Some hunters thought the red wolves were coyotes（土狼）, so most people killed them because they believed wolves were dangerous and would attack people.This wrong belief has made it difficult to restore the species, because people are afraid to have red wolves reintroduced near human communities.

Experts say that one way to fight these fears is simply to teach people about red wolves.In reality,they are shy animals that they don't get close to humans and hunt mostly at night.According to the Fish and Mildlife Service, captive breeding centers in the US are home to about 200 red wolves.But without continued efforts from the government and private groups,red wolves will continue to suffer.

1.The underlined phrase "put...on hold" in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A. paused B. promoted

C. overlooked D. accomplished

2.What does Defenders of Wildlife think of the Fish and Wildlife Service's decision?

A. Practical. B. Annoying.

C. Satisfactory. D. Disappointing.

3.The trouble in reintroducing red wolves near human communities lies in____.

A. humans' over-hunting

B. fears in human beings

C. shortage of food in the wild

D. lack of governmental support

4.What can we know about red wolves from the text?

A. They don't hunt in the daytime at all.

B. Their total population in the world is only 50.

C. They keep away from humans due to shyness.

D. They are dangerous because they attack people.

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about a serious problem with one of the main computers.

He dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper, “Hello?” The boss asked, “Is your daddy at home?” “Yes,” whispered the small voice. “May I talk with him?” The man asked.

To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, “No.” Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your mommy there?” “Yes,” came the answer. “May I talk with her?” Again the small voice whispered, “No.”

Knowing that it was impossible that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child. “Is there anyone there besides you?” The boss asked the child. “Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman.”

Wondering what a policeman would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, “May I speak with the policeman?”

“No, he’s busy,” whispered the child. “Busy doing what?” asked the boss. “Talking to daddy and mommy and the fireman,” came the whispered answer.

Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter(直升機(jī))through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, “What is the noise?” “A helicopter.” answered the whispered voice. “What is going on there?” asked the boss, now alarmed.

In a serious whispering voice the child answered, “The search team just landed the helicopter.” Alarmed and concerned and more than just a little disappointed, the boss asked, “Why are they there?” Still whispering, the young voice replied along with an unclear giggly(竊笑), “They are looking for me.”

1.Why did the boss call the employee?

A. He wanted to talk to the child B. He wanted to join in the game

C. A main computer had broken down D. He always cared about his employees

2.Who was not in the employee’s home?

C. A policeman D. A fireman
