Dear daughter,
You are a wonderful person and your mother and I love you. It will not be long before you leave school to make your way in the world. Can I give you some friendly advice? Here are some things that you should never do.
★ Never get upset with your look.
We think you look great. (1) Eat well, take exercise and be healthy. Some girls worry too much about not getting the perfect shape. You look fine.
★ Never put yourself at serious risk.
(2) And sometimes you have to avoid things that look like they might be fun, like smoking.
★ (3) You are great and able to achieve great things, so believe in yourself. When things go badly, never stop believing. Some girls get upset, doubt themselves and lose confidence. Then many problems can follow.
★ Never give less than your best.
We are very proud of what you have achieved. You should be proud, too. (4)
★ Never forget that your parents love you.
Whatever happens in life, your family will still be your family. (5) We are here for you and we will try to help.
Love,
Dad

How can we protect the Earth? One problem to solve is climate(气候)change. You might wonder about climate change. What is it, exactly?
Gases surround the Earth.(1) Sunlight passes down through the gases. The gases trap(储存)the sun's heat and act like blanket. Without these gases, the Earth would be very cold. The trouble comes when humans add too many gases to the atmosphere.The gases build up and trap even more heat.This causes changes in climate. The Earth becomes too warm.
(2) There's another gas causing climate change. No one talks about it as much. It is nitrous oxide(氧化亚氮). Many call it laughing gas. Dentists may give patients nitrous oxide so they will not feel pain. The atmosphere has small amounts of nitrous oxide. But nitrous oxide can stay in the atmosphere more than 100 years which can change the climate a lot.
Nitrous oxide forms naturally. (3) Bacteria are living organisms(生物)made of single cells. Farmers use nitrogen fertilizer(氮肥)to help grow bigger crops. The bacteria in the soil take the nitrogen from the fertilizer and make more nitrous oxide with it.
So how can we help? "Number one is to not waste food," Wagner Riddle, a scientist from Canada, said. (4) That number comes from a U. S. university study. "There is a lot that goes into making food", Wagner Riddle says. "So then if it's wasted, it's for nothing."
根据短文内容,从下列选项中选出能填人文中空白处的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余选项.
A. That's the reason for climate change.
B. It comes from bacteria(细菌)that live in the dirt.
C. Carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)is one gas that traps heat.
D. More than one﹣third of all food created in the U. S. is wasted.
E. These gases reach high into the sky and are called the atmosphere(大气层).
The most difficult thing for university student Ted Rogers is opening his classroom door.Ted can't do this without help because he's only six years old. He's the youngest person ever to study at Rochester University in New York. Ted(1) (begin) reading at two, and by four, he had known a lot about many subjects from astronomy to zoology(动物学).

Ted just(2) (complete) his first book.It(3) (come)out in a few months, shortly after his seventh birthday. "I love learning." says Ted.
"My hero is the scientist Albert Einstein because he never brushed his hair or(4) _ (wear) socks. "Psychologists(心理学家)have found it difficult(5) (test) Ted's cleverness because they do not have high enough scores for him.Ted's mother first knew her son was different when he kept(6) (cry) at play school because he was bored with the children's games. She started teaching him at home after finding that local schools were not prepared for children who learned at Ted's speed.
Now Ted(7) (study) geography at Rochester University and using the Internet to complete his high school studies.
However, some psychologists warn that too much study can stop a child from(8) _ (grow) up in a healthy way. "I(9) (not care) how clever the kid is. Six﹣year﹣olds have to play with their friends," says Dr. Brian Wood. Mrs. Rogers doesn't agree that her son's time(10) (take) up completely by schoolwork. "He loves the violin and has many outdoor interests, such as camping, fishing and swimming, just like other boys of his age."
