A video of a three-year-old girl being kicked by her own mother during a photo shot went viral on Thursday, indicating China’s underperformance in regulating the emerging child modeling industry.
The girl, known as Niu Niu, was physically abused (虐待) by her mother in several videos. The videos have annoyed Chinese media and Internet users alike. Many netizens and scholars call for local authorities to carry out further investigations into possible child abuse.
In response to the public outcry (强烈抗议), Niu Niu’s mother issued an apology via Sina Weibo on Thursday, condemning accusations of abuse. She noted that she was merely guiding her daughter for better shots and the girl is well looked after.
Despite her apology, many E-shops which used Niu Niu’s images for brand promotion have canceled their cooperation with the mother, while over 110 well-known child garment shops on Taobao have signed up for a campaign to provide better protection for child models.
“It is necessary to adopt comprehensive laws and regulations to further protect the kids, preventing their parents and companies from exploiting them,” Fang Zhiqing, a lawyer and child protection expert, said.
Niu Niu is not alone. In Zhili, a small town in Zhejiang province, thousands of children from across China are taken here by their parents to seize the chance of fame. With a population of 450,000, Zhili has over 13,000 manufacturers of child clothing. In 2017.the town earned over 7 billion yuan by selling clothing for children online, thus providing opportunities for child models.
“China’s current advertisement law isn’t workable with respect to the industry of child modeling, as it lacks clear regulatory measures and clear legal punishment.” Fang added, “It is important to issue new laws which regulate child modeling.”
1.What caused the public outcry?
A.A girl being physically abused by her mother.
B.Problems in Chinese advertising industry.
C.Several cases of child abuse in recent China.
D.Videos showing how child models work.
2.What happened after the public outcry?
A.Local authorities have thoroughly looked into Niu Niu’s case.
B.Niu Niu’s mother admitted abusing her daughter.
C.Shops stopped their cooperation with the mother.
D.The online sales of child clothing are increasing.
3.Which opinion may Fang Zhiqing agree with?
A.China’s current advertisement law isn’t workable.
B.There are too many child models in China.
C.New economic laws should be issued in China.
D.China should regulate child modeling.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
At the age of12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“ That’s just for you,” he said.“ You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
1. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint?
A. He told her to write down all that her“ enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
B. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said.
C. He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
2.What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A .I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
B. She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C. Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me. D. Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
3.Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
4.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
B. No an Enemy, but the Best Friend
C. My Father
D. My Childhood

A mother goat is able to pick out her own baby from its voice alone by the time the kid is just five days old.
Researchers from University of London played kids’ bleats to female goats and studied their responses. They were surprised to find that the animals were able to pick out their own kids’ voices.
“A mother and the kid rely a lot on smell to recognize one another and, in the wild, during the first week of their lives, the animals hide in grass and don’t call much. It’s a strategy they use to avoid enemies,” Dr Elodie Briefer, who led the research, explained to BBC News. “The mother call to the kids when she want them to come and feed, so we expected that kids would recognize the mothers’ voices.” In fact, this was the case for deer, which also use this hiding strategy, although they do not belong to the same family of species as goats.
She and her team recorded and played back young kids’ calls to the female goats and recorded their responses.She explained, “Even when the calls came from kids that are five to six days old, we could see the mothers responding more to the voices of their own babies.” Hearing the voice of their own kids, the females would look towards the speaker that the sound was coming from, moving around and calling in response.
The scientists say that understanding how goats behave and communicate is very important. “This helps us understand just how smart these animals are,” said Dr. Briefer. “Farmers might be able to change their way to raise goats considering this natural behaviour.”
1.What does the underlined word “bleats” means?
A. habits B. voices
C. responses D. videos
2.During the first few days of the baby deer, the mother and the kid mainly depend on ______to recognize each other when they are hiding in grass.
A. voice B. touch
C. videos D. smell
3.In the experiment, what does a mother goat do when hearing her kids’ voice?
A. Making voice in response. B. Jumping over and over.
C. Hiding herself somewhere. D. Behaving just as usual.
4.The passage is mainly written for ______ to read.
A. teachers B. writers
C. farmers D. lawyers
