Many children act in TV shows. They work several hours every day, so they can not go to regular school. How do they get an education?
In Hollywood, many TV shows are made. About forty teachers give lessons to the children in the shows. They teach wherever their pupils are working. The teachers’ job is very important. They are responsible(负责) for making sure that the children work only the permitted(允许) hours each week. They are also responsible for making sure that children learn the required subjects. They make sure, too, that the children get enough rest and play, along with their education.
Children actors are required to attend classes twenty hours each week. California law says they must be taught from September to June. If they do not make much progress in school, they are not permitted to continue working in TV shows. TV children are usually good pupils, and most of their teachers like this special kind of work. Their classes are held in some wonderful places. Sometimes the “classroom” is a Mississippi riverboat, and sometimes it is the inside of a spaceship. Often the pupils become famous TV or movie stars.

Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking(寻找) workers.

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear(消耗) on our body and make people feel more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you, calm down first. Take plenty of breathe deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology(道歉). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who makes you angry. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (无知), fear, even love. To achieve the perspective, you may write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.
1.When someone has deeply hurt you, it’s not easy for you to ________.
A.feel very angry | B.let go of your anger |
C.keep remembering it | D.let your anger appear |
2.What will you do first when someone has hurt you?
A.Take much breathes deeply. | B.See things in a different way. |
C.Keep yourself calm. | D.Go over your hurt. |
3.According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?
A.Try to make sure why you get hurt. |
B.Write a letter to the person who hurt you. |
C.Tell yourself to accept what others have done to you. |
D.Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt. |
4.Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ______.
A.we are not patient enough |
B.we’d feel worse accepting others’ apology |
C.people seldom want to apologize |
D.people don’ t mean it when they apologize |
5.This passage is mainly written to explain _______.
A.how to keep yourself from being hurt |

It is good to keep animals in zoos. Zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real tiger or bear. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned on time. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. Thirdly, zoos protect the animals. They offer them safe place to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝).But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.
However, some people think it is unnatural (非自然的) and unfair(不公平的) to keep wild(野生的) animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. The animals such as bears and tigers always look sad in cages. Wild animals should look for their own food. Anyone would not feel happy if he isn't allowed (允许) to go outside his home and animals don't like it either.
