Dear David,

I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me. It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father. You are asking: will I make a good father? How will I deal with? Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can I provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy（不適）before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn’t share them.

It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home. But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice, he grows into a fully mature（成熟的）man. And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progression of states, from the baby to the adult. Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80. I remember feeling very grown-up at eight, a time when I was weighed down with responsibility. These days, much older, I can, in the company of people I feel at ease with, feel like a young girl.

There’s a common remark that “all men are little boys”, but it’s not true. It’s more true that men often behave like little boys. But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are able of great maturity.

Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. You’ll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if it’s looking to you for comfort and support.

Comfort yourself, David, with two truths. One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up.

Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.

Sincerely Yours,

Miss Advice

1.According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt _______.

A. valuable B. natural

C. unusual D. bearable

2. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity _______.

A. will increase with age

B. is obviously seen at home

C. changes with different situations

D. becomes stronger with familiar people

3.Miss Advice holds the view that _______.

A. all men always behave like little boys

B. men with a baby feel more grown-up

C. people tend to need comfort and support

D. people enjoy talking about their immaturity

When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.

Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."

If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.

There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.

1.A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may _____.
A.care nothing about it

B.develop a sense of anger
C.do something uncool purposely

D.pretend to get hurt very much

2.A teacher can help an unpopular child by _____.
A.seeing the child as the teacher's favourite
B.asking the child to do something for partners
C.forcing other children to make friends with the child
D.offering the child chances to show his good qualities

3.How can parents help their child fit in better?
A.By cooking delicious food for him.

B.By being kind to his schoolmates.
C.By forcing him to invite friends home.

D.By taking him to have picnics in the park.

4.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Children don't care about others' comments on them.
B.It's only a teacher's work to make children popular.
C.Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.
D.Inviting children's friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.

Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior­chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don't feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.

Betta fish

They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner's presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.

Chinchillas

Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can't get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glace at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.

Land hermit crabs

In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty？”， land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don't cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.

Red­eared sliders

If you're interested in a lifelong friend, a red­eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red­eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (曬太陽) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.

1.All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are ________.

A．a(chǎn)ctive and allergic　　 　B．quiet and peaceful

2.Which of the following is NOT true about these creatures?

B．Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.

C．Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.

D．Red­eared sliders need more care from the owner.

A．Betta fish B．Chinchillas

C．Land hermit crabs D．Red­eared sliders
