Buddy the cute bull calf was taken into their family by Coral and Wayne Algie when he was just one day old. His mother died when she got stuck in a dam near the couple’s farmhouse in New South Wales, Australia. They took Buddy in, and he became another puppy by an old dog Bada, who gave birth to 11 puppies. Now the calf is six weeks old, and he has already picked up some dog’s habits, including playing chase（追逐）with his brothers and sisters, wagging his tail and snuggling up to（依偎）others for a sleep.

Coral said, “Bada has really taken Buddy on as puppy number 12. He doesn’t see himself as a calf. I think he sees himself as better than them. He looks at them, enjoying all the comfort. He’s very content to live with the humans and the dogs.” Wayne and Coral discovered Buddy after trying to rescue his mother from dam earlier this month. Coral said by the time they managed to get her out, she was too weak and died.

After his mother’s death, the calf quickly made himself popular with the couple’s two children, Bella and Lawson, because he liked joining in with their games. “Buddy runs beside the kids when they’re on their bikes outside and he plays chase with Bella,” said Coral. Although Buddy has made himself part of the family, his house remains outside. But Buddy is given a home for life as Coral added, “He will always be our pet bull no matter how big he gets.”

Kobe Bryant was a dominant athlete on the court and was the closest player to Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls in his times when he played 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. In debates over the greatest NBA player of all time, it’s likely Bryant’s name always will come up among others like Jordan, LeBron James and Magic Johnson.

Bryant was selected in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets. He was chosen out of Lower Merion High School in Pennsylvania and was selected after players like Kerry Kittles, Vitaly Potapenko, Todd Fuller and Erick Dampier. He then was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers before the start of the season for Vlade Divac.

Bryant won five. NBA championships—only second to Jordan in that regard. He won three straight with Shaquille O’Neal in a Lakers dynasty that spanned several seasons. Toward the latter half of his career, Bryant won two more with Pau Gasol. In 2009 and 2010, he was the NBA Finals MVP. Bryant won one MVP award in 2008. He averaged 28.3 points，6.3 rebounds（篮板球）and 5.4 assists that year. However, they would fall short in the NBA Finals, losing to the Boston Celtics in six games. He also won two gold medals with Team USA—in 2008 and 2012. As his career was over, he won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film for “Dear Basketball.”

Bryant died in a helicopter crash in California on Sunday January 26, 2020. He was 41.

Primary school children in the UK have little choice over what they eat for lunch. Either their parents pack their lunchbox, or they choose from only one or two options（选择，选项）on a hot dinner menu. However, secondary schools let students make their own meal choices freely.

In the past, this has led to problems. There is a 2004 survey called School Meals in Secondary Schools in England. It showed that many schools offered unhealthy menus. For example, on four or five days of the week, 76 percent of schools served chips and other potatoes cooked in oil, while 86 percent served high fat meals like burgers and fried chicken. And when offered such dishes, most students were picking them：48 percent chose high fat main dishes; 48 percent chose chips or similar and 24 percent chose cakes or muffins（松饼）. Fruit, fruit juice, vegetables and salads were the least popular choices.

In his 2005 television series Jamie’s School Diners, famous chef Jamie Oliver began working with school cooks on providing more healthy meals. At first, many students and parents were against the idea. But the tide began to turn and Jamie’s effort has led to a general improvement in nutritional standards（营养标准）for school meals.

More recently, online systems like “Parent Pay” give parents more control over what their children are eating at school. They can set daily spending limits and see exactly what their kids are buying each day.

8. How do students in secondary schools in the UK eat lunch?

A．They must take lunchboxes prepared by cooks to school.

B．They only have different kinds of food to choose on a menu.

C．They can choose what they like for their lunch.

D．They make their meals all by themselves.

9. The 2004 School Meal Survey showed ________.

A．whether schools used oil to cook meals

B．whether schools provided healthy meals

C．what kind of fried food schools offered

D．which school had popular food for students

10. What can we know from paragraph 2?

A．Few students liked to have fruit and vegetables.

B．Students liked fruit and vegetables most.

C．Schools didn’t have fruit on their menu.

D．There were very few choices of fruit for students.

11. What did Jamie bring to school students?

A．A very good chef.	B．A popular TV series.
C．Healthier food.	D．Nutritional standards.

A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such successful kids. They are baffled（感到困惑）that these parents produce so many children with excellent talent and whether they too could raise such a child.    12    I think there are three big differences between the Chinese and Western parental mind-sets.

First, I’ve noticed that Western parents are quite worried about their children’s self-esteem（自尊心）.    13    .Chinese parents don’t. They find that they are strong, not frail（脆弱的）, and as a result they behave very differently.

Second,    14    . The reason for this is a little unclear, but maybe it’s because of Chinese traditional customs（习俗）and the fact that the parents have done so much for their children.

Third, Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their children.    15    .

Don’t get me wrong: It’s not that Chinese parents don’t care about their children. Just the opposite. They would give up anything for their children. It’s just an entirely different parenting model（养育模式）.

根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一多余选项。

A．So they don’t care about their children’s thoughts.

B．I’ve thought long and hard about it..

C．In other words, Western parents care about their children’s psyches（心灵）.

D．While Western children may have a high opinion of themselves

E．Chinee parents believe that their kids should thank them for everything.

阅读下面的短文，根据短文后的要求答题。

George was sitting at home one day when he noticed that naughty cat had something in its mouth-a dead animal of some sort. Taking a close look, he recognized the dead animal. It was a rabbit that belonged to a girl who lived next door. Her name was Bonny. George felt terrible, believing his cat had killed Bonny’s rabbit.

George came up with a plan. Removing（移动）the dead animal from the cat’s mouth, which by now was a dirty mess, he put it in the sink（水池）.He tried to clean up the dead rabbit as best he could. Then he took a hair dryer and blow-dried（吹干）the rabbit until it looked pretty good.（A）, he took the dead rabbit out to the neighbor’s rabbit cage（笼子）and put it back in the cage.

The next morning, George looked out of the window and noticed some people standing around the cage. Everyone seemed to be talking and pointing. He decided to go over and act like any normal curious（好奇的）neighbor and find out what was going on.

When he got there, Bonny’s mother said to George, “You won’t believe what has happened! It’s a miracle（奇迹）! Bonny’s rabbit passed away a few days ago, and we buried（埋葬）that little rabbit right over there…”

Have you ever tried to cover up one mistake with another? Covering up only makes matters worse. When we get caught doing something wrong, we may try to cover it up with a lie. But just like Bonny’s rabbit, the result is never what we expect. We end up looking foolish. We should admit we are wrong and accept the result.
