Children love to have pets, and having these furry animals in your family does good to children. Many studies have shown that kids who have pets do better at school because they have higher scores of emotional intelligence(EI)(情商). Here are some of the ways pets can help children develop their EI.

Grow empathy(同情)

Children are naturally empathetic and having pets can develop this. Researchers Nienke Endenburg and Ben Baard wrote a book The Waltham Book of Human-Animal Interaction, which is an overview of scientific studies about raising pets. 1.. It also shows that even young children who have pets show more empathy towards other animals and people.

Reduce stress

Today, some doctors are writing social prescriptions(处方) to get a pet. Even just petting a dog has been shown to reduce stress in children. 2., because they are great listeners.

Raise self-esteem(自尊)

3. In fact, the authors said that research “found that children’s self-esteem scores increased greatly over a nine-month period of keeping pets in their school classroom. Besides, it was children with originally low self-esteem scores who showed the greatest improvements.”

4.

Many parents find it difficult to talk to their kids about sensitive topics like birth, illness, and death. Learning about these through the lives of their furry family members helps make it easier to understand the cycles of life. 5., but the authors say it can also be a very valuable learning experience. Children will learn how to deal with feelings of sadness and anger.

B.Teach about life cycle events

C.Animals can provide emotional support for kids

D.Of course, experiencing the death of a beloved pet is difficult for kids

People who have seen Trisha Seifried Woodall with her cats say that she has a magic touch. Most people don't know anyone who can order a cat to jump on a table, sit for two minutes, and then jump to the floor and walk backward.

Ms. Seifried Woodall has taught her cats to do all these tricks -- and many more. At her training center. Got Pet-ential, cats learn tricks for TV and magazine ads. Some of her cats have appeared on bags of cat food.

When Ms. Seifried Woodall gets a cat, she first learns what that cat likes and doesn’t like. “Some cats like to stay close to the ground, so I'll teach them how to stand behind me, and walk with me,”she says. “Other cats, like high places, so they'll learn how to jump on my bent knee and then safely leap to my shoulder.”

Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. 1.There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.

2. Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect.

For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. 3.They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.

So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults’, especially their parents’ behaviors. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. 4.

Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. 5. What’s more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.

A.It’s so good going for a walk around trees.

B.Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.

C.And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.

D.Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.

E.They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.

F.In a new study researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.

G.Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature.

Samuel L. Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, started off his writing career (事业) in 1865 with his big hit story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County — a story-within- a-story told to a listener by an old California miner. From that day on, the works of the great humorist always had different animals.

Some members of Twain’s literary (文学的) animals were based on real animals, such as the Clemens family’s named pet cats. Some were imaginary, like that celebrated jumping frog.

As a boy in Missouri, he got pleasure from knowing the animals of the woods; in old age,　 he felt a deep relationship with the animals large and small that he met in his travels. His cats, family dog, horses, donkeys, and calf also won his three daughters’ love at their Hartford home. On March 22, 2018, to mark this part of Twain’s personal life, The Mark Twain House & Museum opened a new exhibition (展览), Tails of Twain: How Animals Shaped the Man & His Work. The exhibition was rich with exhibits from the museum’s collections.

The king of the animals in Twain’s world was the cat, “the only creature in heaven or earth or anywhere that don’t have to obey (听从) somebody or other, including the angels.” He was known to be the proud pet parent of 19 cats during his childhood. As an adult, the Clemens　 home always had a named cat. Even on vacation, the Clemens family borrowed cats from locals to live with them. Dogs were considered second-class pets, but Twain liked them. Twain once wrote an ode (颂诗) to his dead dog Burns: “She lived a quiet harmless life in Hartford ...”

In true Twainism, humans were not as loved as the “Higher Animals”. Even the most low- down animal, however, was superior in Twain’s eyes to “the human race.” After all, he did write once “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel.”

1.What can we learn about The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County?

A.It tells a story of Twain’s family pet.

B.It was written for Twain’s three daughters.

C.It made Twain pay attention to animals.

D.It was Twain’s first great success as a writer.

2.What’s the main purpose of the new exhibition?

A.To introduce how Twain spent his childhood.

B.To exhibit some of Twain’s best-sellers.

C.To show Twain’s different hobbies.

D.To show Twain’s love for animals.

3.What does the underlined word “superior” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.richer B.better

C.quieter D.stronger
