Can man's best friend be replaced by a small animal? Busy pet lovers in Britain have been buying hedgehogs (非洲侏儒刺猬), whose living habits make them loved by the modern workers,because they wake up in the evening when their owners arrive home after a day in the office.
Although Britain has its own wild hedgehogs, the latest pet fever is African hedgehogs. “They are very good little animals. The way they move and the way they poke their noses into everything are very lovely.”Bonnie Martin said.
“Costs for the animal and equipment needed can cost up to 300 pounds, but hedgehogs, who can survive on cat food, are cheaper to feed because they eat a third of what a household cat would normally eat.” Martin said. “People often travel very far in order to get a good hedgehog.”
However, animal protectors say that the trend is a serious threat to the decreasing population of Britain's native wild hedgehogs.
The baby hedgehogs will die without their mum because they are completely dependent (依赖的) for four weeks.
Bullen, an animal protector, said that the introduction of a foreign species could cause a secondary wildlife problem if pet owners who get tired of their hedgehogs set them free into the wild. “People will probably think they can exist in our country, but we are not sure if they can and what harm they might cause to local populations.”
1.Why do British pet lovers prefer hedgehogs? A.Because Britain has no native wild hedgehogs. B.Because hedgehogs are lovely little animals.
C.Because hedgehogs usually wake up in the evening.
3 D.Because hedgehogs are so small that people can take them to their office. 2.Which of the following is NOT a reason why people raise hedgehogs? A.They can be found in the garden. B.They are lovely animals.
C.They have good living habits. D.It is cheap to feed them.
3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A.hedgehogs will make some animals in Britain die out B.baby hedgehogs need mother's care for about a month C.foreign hedgehogs can live in Britain very well D.Britain's native animals will do harm to hedgehogs 4.Bonnie Martin thinks that ________. A.it is too expensive to raise a hedgehog
B.the African hedgehog is a threat to the native wild hedgehogs C.hedgehogs can bring much fun to people D.people shouldn't set free their pet hedgehogs

Friendship is the gold of childhood. Kids find it themselves. Other things in life—school, bedtime, dinner—are fixed,_but friends are something that kids choose for themselves. Friendship begins at babyhood. A child's first best friends are usually its parents. By the time kids can crawl, they start meeting other kids. Around 3, children are able to play with each other and form deeper friendships. By 8, friends take up a lot of children's interests and energy.
For parents, although they can't live their children's social life for them, there are some things they can do to help or help themselves stay out of the way.
Believe in the power of friendship, most kids know what to do with their close friendships and circles of friends quite well. Most will get through some rejection (拒绝), particularly when they have parents who are good listeners but not fixers.
Meet the parents of your children's friends. Whether you have preschoolers or high-schoolers, get to know the parents of your children's friends. Be a good host and invite them over.
Talk about coping (应对) instead of pain. When children experience social rejection, we often experience it with them. But it doesn't help to just ask more questions or try to work it out for them. Instead, ask what they've done with the situation and let your children know you are there. Keep in mind that best friends will get along.
5.According to the passage, which of the following is what children discover by themselves?
A.School. B.Bedtime. C.Dinner. D.Friendship.
6.The underlined word “fixed” in the first paragraph means ________. A.repaired B.Decided C.taken D.seen
7.To help children with friendship, how many pieces of advice does the passage offer? A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
8.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Parents should learn how to help children with friends. B.It's not important for children to make some friends.
4 C.Children don't need any help in making friends.
D.Parents should do everything when children need help.
