    QUESTION: Dear Marie,
    Do you have some good suggestions of biology: plant, animal, human science experiments that would work well with teenagers? Scientific methods must go with the experiments. Thanks! <
    Donna
    ANSWER: Dear Donna,
    Marie is not online and I’ll help you instead of him. There are a lot of little things that can be done, but do you mean lab experiment or statistical analysis, etc.? Let us know what can be suitable for you teens, and we will do our best to send you some experiments to do.
    Best，
    Gloria

    QUESTION: Dear Gloria,
    I need lab experiments. The teenage students and I will use data from these experiments to make charts, graphs, tables, etc. and to provide claims and evidence to explain more about the results. Thank you very much.
    Donna
    ANSWER:
    Hi there,
    Your best and easiest way is to do some chemistry experiments. Those are very easy and most probably you can do it in the lab and have charts, etc. for you. I do not have any particular one at the top of my head because I do cancer research and it is a bit more difficult than research for teenagers. I think you can look through these and see if you find something useful for you. http://www.siraze.net/chemistry/sezennur/experiments.htm
    If not, get back to me and Marie, and we’ll look more. The good thing about this site is that it has the procedures that you can follow.
    Good luck，
    Gloria

    Secondhand smoke isn’t just a health threat to people．It can also hurt dogs and cats，veterinarians say．
    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention，more than 126 million Americans who don't smoke are exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes，vehicles，workplaces，and public places．This exposure causes thousands of lung cancer and heart disease deaths among nonsmokers every year，according to the California Environmental Protection Agency．
    “Making the leap from the effects of secondhand smoke on humans to their effects on pets isn't a big one,” says veterinarian （兽医专家） Carolynn MacAllister of Oklahoma State University．
    “There have been a number of scientific papers recently that have reported the significant health threat secondhand smoke poses to pets,” MacAllister said．“Secondhand smoke has been associated with oral cancer and lymphoma in cats，lung and nasal cancer in dogs，as well as lung cancer in birds.”
    Studies have also shown that dogs living in a smoking household are susceptible to cancers of the nose and sinus area，particularly if they are a long-nosed breed，because their noses have a greater surface area that is exposed to carcinogens and a greater area for them to accumulate．Dogs affected with nasal cancer normally don't survive for more than one year．
    “Short and medium-nosed dogs are more susceptible to lung cancer，because their shorter nasal passage aren't as effective at accumulating the inhaled secondhand smoke carcinogens,” MacAllister said．“This results in more carcinogens （致癌物质） reaching the lungs.”
    Birds are also at risk for lung cancer，as well as pneumonia，because their respiratory systems are hypersensitive to any type of air pollutant．
    To help prevent animals from being adversely affected by smoking，pet owners who smoke should have a designated smoking area that is separated from the home or stop smoking altogether，MacAllister said．        
    小题1:From the passage，we can see secondhand smoke maybe not harmful to _______．
    A．smokersB．non-smokersC．petsD．trees
    小题2:What can be suggested according to the passage?
    A．Smokers can smoke anywhere.
    B．Smokers can smoke at any time.
    C．Smokers should smoke in the designated place.
    D．Smokers must give up smoking at once.
    小题3:What kind of dogs are likely to suffer from nasal cancer?
    A．Long-nosed dogsB．Short-nosed dogs
    C．Medium-nosed dogsD．Dogs without noses
    小题4:The best title of the passage is __________.
    A．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in People
    B．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Birds
    C．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Pets
    D．Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Cats
    小题5:What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “are susceptible to”?
    A．are likely to be harmed by
    B．are hard to be influenced by
    C．are less to be effected by

    Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl, while boys will head for the toy cars,  a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
    Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were stereotypically boys' toys - a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy.  The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
    Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.
    Dr Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts（本能）, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”
    小题1:Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because         .
    A．baby boys are much more active
    B．baby girls like bright colors more
    C．their parents treat them differently
    D．there is a natural difference between them
    小题2:What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?
    A．Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.
    B．Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
    C．The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.
    D．Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.
    小题3:What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?
    A．Adults purposely influence their babies preference.
    B．Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.
    C．Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.
    D．Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.
    小题4:We may read this article in a        section of a newspaper.
    A．scienceB．healthC．educationD．entertainment

    How can you hear your friends’ voices when they are far away and you can’t make a long—distance call? Besides the web camera system with your computer, we have a new high-tech way to solve the problem and ease your pain of missing them.
    The Japanese company Combiwith created a system—“talking picture”. It makes people in pictures speak!
    The “talking picture” has a special pen. It is actually a pen-shaped scanner. It can scan information in special—made pictures. A connected player will then play the information out loud.
    First, you need to take a picture and record what you want to say with the company. The company will then make special barcodes(条形码) onto your picture(you can’t see those codes). Those codes are your voice and your words. When you hold up the pen to scan your picture with barcodes, a player connected to the pen will start to play. It plays things you’ve recorded. That way the invention makes the “you” in the picture speak!
    Do you want your friends and families talking out of pictures? Have them make pictures like that, and you can hear them whenever you want, only with the “talking picture” system. The system can play messages for up to 12 minutes.
    “The pictures would be useful for those who hope to hear the voice of someone living far away,” said Mayumi Fuji, a spokeswoman for the company. “Grandparents, for example, longing to know about their grandchildren, would be happy to hear their voice when they see the picture,” Fuji said.
    But it is troublesome to go to the company for taking a special picture first. And, it is much more expensive than using a telephone. The photo with barcodes costs between 17,040 and 17,990 yen(日元)(160 and 169 dollars). The larger picture you want, the more you pay.
    Now, just raise a finger, lonely people can have their loved ones speak out of pictures. But, whether the “talking picture” is practical or not, let’s wait and see.
    小题1:What does “talking pictures” mean according to this article?
    A．The picture can play what’s been recorded as if the person in the picture “talks”.
    B．You can have a talk with the person in the picture whenever you want to.
    C．The picture can tell you wonderful stories to ease your pain.
    D．The picture can tell what’s on your mind when you are looking at it.
    小题2:If you want to make a talking picture, you need to ________.
    A．take a picture and record what you want to say with the company
    B．make special barcodes onto your picture
    C．a pen—shaped scanner to go with the picture
    D．All of the above
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true accordingly?
    A．The talking picture system can play messages for 12 minutes at most.
    B．It will cost you more to take a larger talking picture.
    C．It might take a lot of trouble to make a talking picture.
    D．You can make a talking picture by just raising a finger.
    小题4:What is the attitude of the author?
    A．Optimistic.B．Uncertain.C．Positive.D．Pessimistic.

    We live in a digital world now, and a student’s technology needs have changed. For the early years, when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it’s a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.
    As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make – especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it’s a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phones.
    Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. IPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your children’s education? Maybe they do. That’s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 years. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jokes. “I don’t think we should be afraid. The truth is that it’s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”
    小题1:According to author, primary school children should___.
    A．use the computer and the Internet regularly
    B．ask their parents to buy them cell-phones
    C．buy iPods to listen to music
    D．go to libraries to read more books
    小题2:Why do parents agree to buy their children cell-phones?
    A．They want their children to be cool.
    B．They think cell-phones be helpful to their study.
    C．They want to keep in touch with their children.
    D．They want their children to keep up to date.
    小题3:The following are all reasons why many teachers dislike cell-phones EXCEPT ____.
    A．cell-phones can be used to cheat on exams
    B．schoolchildren will send messages during class
    C．cell-phones can be used to record lessons
    D．schoolchildren might talk on them during class
    小题4: What does the underlined word “that” refers to?
    A．iPods can be used to listen to music.
    B．iPods can be helpful for children’s education.
    C．iPods can be used to play games.
    D．iPods are necessary for children’s lives.
    小题5:We can infer from what Doug Johnson said that _____.
    A．cell-phones are not useful to students
    B．teachers should let students use cell-phones
    C．it’s better for teachers to change their teaching methods
    D．schoolchildren should follow the trends(潮流) of fashion

    I’m a teacher. But there are days, like today, when I wonder why. The results of an English quiz taken by my fifth-graders were depressing. Despite my best efforts, the world of pronouns remains a mystery to them. How I wish there were a way to make the study of our language as exciting as a computer game, so the glazed (目光呆滞) looks would not appear in their eyes at the mention of the word “grammar.” I remember my husband’s words: “Why don’t you quit? You’d probably make more money by doing something else, and you wouldn’t have papers to grade every night.”
    Tonight I have a stack of papers to grade, which I promised my students I would return tomorrow. But a friend, whom I haven’t seen in a year, is visiting from Belgium, and I told her I would keep this evening free.
    Sitting in traffic behind a distant stoplight, it’s hard not to replay the day. A voice reports the body of a local youngster, missing for weeks, has been identified.
    This missing child has had a deep effect on my students. They wondered, “If it happened to her, could it happen to me?”
    My children had found the answer themselves. They got out their pencils, markers and made cards. Cards were written with words of compassion and love for a mother and father they didn’t know. Cards were filled with red hearts, golden crosses, flowers and angels. Their cards, intended to comfort others, comforted the children themselves by leading them past the anxiety, back into the world of security (安全) that should be theirs.
    And then I remember why I’m still teaching. It’s the children. They’re more important than a lifetime filled with quiet evenings and more valuable than a pocket filled with money. My classroom, a child-filled world of discovery, of kindness and of caring is the real world.
    It’s time to call my friend. I have promises to keep. She’ll understand. After all, she’s a teacher.
    小题1:The writer wonders why she is a teacher because _____.
    A．her students often play games in class
    B．teaching is not a well-paid job
    C．her students feel bored with grammar
    D．she feels frustrated at teaching
    小题2: The students’ attitude to the missing child’s parents might be that of _____.
    A．doubtB．unconcern C．sympathy D．tolerance
    小题3:What is the most important according to the writer?
    A．A pocket filled with money.
    B．The kind and caring children.
    C．A lifetime filled with quiet evenings.
    D．The freedom to control her own time.
    小题4:What promise will the writer keep?
    A．To grade papers that night.B．To help a student with homework.
    C．To accept her husband’s advice.D．To meet her old friend.

    I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
    Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines．I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again．I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up．Could he be more intent while standing up？
    This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life．
    Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way.
    I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things．Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique．It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life．
