Ａ

Before you make friends，you have to decide who you want to be your friends.Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile.When you smile，people think you are friendly and easy to talk to.It may not be easy at first to smile，but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him.Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves.Who's their favorite singer，where do they live，what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation.Make sure you have something to add to the conversation，too.When someone asks you a question，do have an answer for them.There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug for an answer.

Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends.Remember，everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

Scientists who study insects (昆虫)are troubled now.All across the United States，bees are leaving their hives(蜂箱)and never returning.According to the beekeepers across the country,25 to 40 percent of the bees in the United States have left their hives since last fall.So far，no one can explain why.

Bees play an important role in the production of about one third of the food we eat.A large number of plants not only need people's care but also need bees that spread pollen (花粉)from flower to flower.Without this_process，a plant can't produce seeds or fruits.

Now，a group of scientists and beekeepers are trying to find out what has happened.By examining bees' behavior and health，they hope to find out what has caused the bees' disappearance and to prevent bees from disappearing in the future.

Some people think the disappearance may be caused by disease.According to Dewey Caron，a researcher at the University of Delaware，the bees have signs of troubled immune systems (免疫系统)inside their bodies.But why would troubled immune systems cause bees to leave their hives？After all，when people are sick，they want to stay at home.Caron guesses that sick bees may have difficulty figuring out where their homes are.

“Another cause may be some chemicals (化学药品)that farmers use to kill unwanted insects on crops.” says Jerry Hayes，who works at the Florida Department of Agriculture.

B．a public advertisement C．a book on advanced technology D．a business report

Many parents worry that their children's eating habits may not be good enough to stay healthy.Some children ask for the same foods over and over again，some may refuse to try anything new，and some may keep asking for snacks(点心)．Therefore，having healthy eating habits becomes one of the most important lessons a child needs to learn.Most parents struggle with managing good eating habits and nutrition (营养)for their children.Parents should make a plan for their children's nutritional needs.

Start your child's day with a good breakfast.Breakfast is necessary to provide the nutrition for an active day.Studies show that children do better in study when they begin a day with a good breakfast.

Allow your child to help you plan and prepare a meal.He will be glad to eat foods that he has helped to put on the table.

The meal time environment has a lot to do with how your child will feel about food.Try to serve your meals at the same place at the same time of a day.Keep the meal itself as the main event and leave the toys and television for later use.

Snacks are also important.We can give our body and brain energy(能量)by eating snacks between meals.Children are often hungriest in the afternoon after school and in the evening.

Offer snacks at regular time between meals.This way，your child won't refuse a meal because he knows a snack is soon to follow.More importantly，when offering snacks，you should

be careful with what to choose.

One morning more than thirty years ago，I entered the Track Kitchen，a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast.I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly，unshaven man，who looked somewhat disheveled.He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone.I asked if I might join him.He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things.We never introduced ourselves.I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat.So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee，I asked，
