My mother is a geneticist, and from her I learned that despite our differences in size, shape and color, we humans are 99.9 percent the same. It is in our 36 to see differences: skin, hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that 37  us human, we are almost the 38 .

I believe there is more that unites us than 39  us.

My mother came to the US from India. She is 40  enough that she got her service 41  in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a white boy from Indiana whose 42  came from Germany in the mid-1800s.

It seems 43  to admit now, but I never 44  that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk 45  the street of our church together. They were 46  in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands 47  together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents 48  I realized their skin color. I'm sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race 49  walking down the street, I see the "mixed race" first and the "couple" second.

When my parents married in 1966, there were 50  places in this country that had laws  51  mixed marriage. 52 , my white grandfather, 53  father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.

Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others 54 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all  55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that.

Dear Michelle,

My mother is not a good example for me and my sister. She smokes, stays out late, and she curses. I love her but I am ashamed of her. I do not want to bring home my friends because she does not act like any of the other mothers. She says I am a loser because I sit at home and I study. I wish I could live in another family that is normal, but that will not be for another 5 years when I am 18 and legal. What am I supposed to do until then?

Prisoner of a Crazy House

Dear 7^th Grade,

I am glad that you love your mother because the rest of your feelings about her may change as you mature and get older.

While it is true that your mother’s smoking, partying and cursing bring you shame, the fact that you want to stay separate from her doing is notable and very smart. It shows that you are a winner, not a loser.

I am guessing, therefore, that you do not bring shame to yourself, and that is a good thing. So, keep it that way and keep away from your mother’s habits.

In the meantime, get the best grades as possible and join clubs and after-school activities. Offer social service on weekends and visit with your friends at their homes.

Unfortunately, you are not alone. Many teens live in homes with immature, misguided, selfish parents. Those kids often feel lonely and separate from the rest of their friends because of their parents’ terrible deeds.

Yet, despite this, some of these very teens grow up to be just fine. They develop good friendships with nice kids, do well in school, and often find a teacher of guidance advisor who makes all the difference!

Do it, Miss Winning 13-year-old, and keep looking forward to your own fine future. Maybe by then your mother may even see the light and realize how surprising you really are.

Best luck!

Michelle

Adults think playing sports is good for children because it is fun and helps children keep in shape and even develop their social skills when they play with others. However, playing sports can have bad effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem(自负) or aggressive（好斗的） behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 20 million out of the 40 million kids who play sports in the US say they have been shouted loudly at or called names while playing sports. Thus, many children think sports are just too aggressive.

Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches whom children usually admire, are the main cause of too much aggression in children's sports. They think children copy aggressive adult behavior that is then further reinforced（加强） through both good and bad feedback(回馈). Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. Children are even taught that hurting other players is acceptable, or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured.

To solve this problem, parents and coaches should act as better examples for children and teach them better values. They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. Instead, they should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock oneself out to enjoy sports. If people make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.

1.What is the main idea of this article?

A. Playing sports can be dangerous to children's health.

B. Playing sports may have some bad results.

C. Adults pay too much attention to winning.

D. Children shouldn't allow themselves to do something bad in sports.

2.What does the underlined idiom "call names" mean?

A. To have a call.                   B. To give someone a sweet name.

C. To name a person after someone else.  D. To be rude to someone with bad words.

3.What is the main cause of more aggressive playing?

A. Adults.       B. Children.    C. Other players.   D. The media.

4.It can be learnt from the text that ___________.

A. you can enjoy sports so long as you win

B. about 50 percent of children had some bad experience while playing sports

C. children seldom copy their parents’ aggressive behavior though respecting them

D. children need to knock the other out to enjoy sports

Dogs love to get out and stretch their legs, which not only helps to keep them in shape, but enables them to keep the extra pounds off. Pet hiking has been popular recently, getting dogs off the sidewalk.

Three years ago, Denver resident Brittany Redding was stressed out, working 60 hours a week while studying in graduate school full-time. The only thing that helped was taking her four dogs hiking. “That’s when it hit me that I should do that as a job.” she says. After graduating in June 2016, she founded Take a Hike. Her company, like a number of others around the country, takes dogs to explore beyond the neighborhood.

Before taking on the tracks, Brittany meets with each dog and his or her owner to get a sense of the pet’s character. Then she schedules a meet-and-greet with other dogs that will join the hike to be sure to match their personalities. Each hiking is about two hours long and includes transportation to and from the track for around $70 per outing. “Hiking allows dogs lo meet new friends and explore new tracks, smells, and wildlife,” she explains.

Michael Mizenko thinks sending his pet, Ajax, on weekly hikes with Take a Hike has made Ajax a happier dog. Over the past two years, hiking has taught Ajax how to stay off pavement, be more social and remain calm in the car. “It has made him a flexible easygoing guy.” Michael says.

1.Why has pet hiking been popular in these days?

A.Dogs strongly desire their owners to go hiking.

B.Animal health specialists recommend people to do it.

C.It is beneficial for pets’ shape and health.

D.The owner’s house is not big enough for dogs.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly talking about?

A.Why Brittany founded Take a Hike.

B.How hard the study life of Brittany was.

C.Take a Hike is very popular in the neighborhood.

D.Dog hiking has brought great enjoyment to Brittany.

3.What does Brittany want to make sure before taking her customers’ dogs to go hiking?

A.The distance of the track.

B.The character of each dog.

C.The environment of the track.

D.The emotions of both dogs and their owners.

4.How often does Michael Mizenko send his pet to hike with Take a Hike?

A.Every day. B.Once a week.

C.Twice a week. D.Every other week.
