        And now if you often listen to this program, you'll know that it's time for our weekly competition. Last

        Each of us would like to be trusted by parents, because we all want to get freedom. Parents are more likely
    to give us our freedom if they trust us. If you want your parents to trust you more, you have to show them
    through your actions. 
        Let your parents know what's going on at school and with your friends. If you truly can be trusted, then
    you have nothing to hide, right? Keep your bedroom door open when you are back. Do not be crazy when they
    see what you are looking at on the Internet. Invite your friends to your house to meet your parents.
        When you do something wrong, it can break trust. Broken trust takes a long time to rebuild.
        It's not easy dealing with your parents when you've broken their trust. But, it can be done. It's not talking
    about groveling (低声下气) and sweet-talking them into trust. I'm talking about getting them to respect you
    again.
        I find it easy to make the mistake of no telling my parents things I've done wrong, hoping they won't find
    out. There are lots of reasons:
        I don't want to get into trouble;
        I don't want them to be disappointed or get mad at me;
        I don't want to lose their trust;
        I don't think they will ever find out.
        And the list goes on and on. But they find out somehow, and then you're in hot water. Of course, even if
    Mom and Dad never find out, you still know about.
         Most parents will respect you more for coming to them and telling them yourself. Doing so shows honesty,
    responsibility and maturity (成熟). If you can't tell them face to face, you can try writing a note.
        Trust can't be built in a day or even a week, but you can gradually do things to help your parents build trust
    in you.
    1. What would children like to get from their parents according to the passage?

        People have always wanted to speak with animals. There are many books about this, especially children
    books. Now there are also movies, such as Dr. Doolittle. When you watch animals, it seems clear that they
    can communicate with each other. Many people wonder why people can't also communicate with them. 
        Scientists know how some animals communicate. Bees, for example, use their bodies. They do a kind of
    dance to give information about food. Birds, on the other hand, share information with sounds. They use
    certain sounds to protect their homes and to stay together when they fly. Some male (雄性) birds use lovely
    songs to attract a female (雌性). Other animals communicate with both body movements and sounds. For
    example, dogs wag their tails when they are happy, and they bark when they are excited.
        People used to think it was possible to teach human language to animals. Parrots and other birds, for
    example, can learn to say words. But the birds just repeat the words. They don't understand them. Some
    American scientists tried to teach English to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), close relatives of human beings. However,
    this was impossible. Chimpanzees can't move their mouths the right way. They could never learn to speak like
    people.
        Then scientists tried to teach human language to chimpanzees in other ways. Some tried with American
    Sign Language (ASL). Others tried with a simple computer. But chimpanzees could only learn to use a few
    words. They could never learn to use grammar. Their brains are very different from the brains of human
    beings.
         Now some scientists are studying the same points between human and animal language. In fact, some
    animals use sounds like people do. Dogs, for example, use an unpleasant, low sound to tell other dogs to stay
    away. People, too, use that kind of voice to say the same things. A dog's noisy bark communicate that
    something is happening. People use the same high tone when they shout, "Watch out!"
         Scientists want to understand the language of other animals, such as whales and bears. To do this, they
    go out to the animals' natural homes. They watch the animals for days or even years. They take pictures and
    make tape recordings and share the information with other scientists. In this way, they hope to learn more
    about the way animals communicate, and maybe someday we'll be able to communicate better with them.
    1. Bees do a kind of dance to _____.
    [     ]
    A. tell other bees where food is
    B. attract other bees
    C. show they are happy
    D. play with other bees

    [     ]
    A. but they don't really know the meaning
    B. and they make up new words, too
    C. and they use grammar, too
    D. but they forget them quickly
    3. Dogs and people use _____.
    [     ]
    A. words when they communicate
    B. different sounds to mean the same thing
    C. a low sound to keep others away
    D. a high sound to keep others away
    4. Which of the following is TRUE?
    [     ]
    A. Bees communicate by making a noise.
    B. Dogs wag their tails when they are angry.
    C. Chimpanzees can learn to use some grammar.

        Sudden shaking of the ground makes an earthquake. It is caused by a sudden rock movement underground.
    Earthquakes usually happen in long narrow belts, where different large plates of rock meet.
        In spite of much research and wonderful equipment, it is impossible to predict an earthquake accurately (准
    确地), although experts can estimate roughly (大概推测) an earthquake coming in a particular region. So
    everyone needs to learn a bit about how to keep oneself safe in an earthquake
    . As you may know, the greatest
    danger of an earthquake comes from falling buildings and structures and flying glass, stones and other objects.
    Please read on for some tips about how to stay safe in an earthquake:
        ●If you are indoors, find a secure location to wait out the quake, such as under a heavy table or desk. Door
            ways are among the safest places to stand because you can brace (支撑) yourself between two walls.
            However, watch out for swinging doors. Stay away from windows.
        ●If you are outdoors, try to get into an open area, away from falling buildings, power lines, trees, etc.
        ●If you are in a crowded public area, crouch down (蹲下), with your hands protecting your head and neck. 
        ●If you are in your car, pull over to the side, away from power lines and overpasses, and stay inside the
            car until the shaking stops.
