They later become used to eating it because their parents try hard to persuade them to eat.2 There are two different and conflicting attitudes towards animals. They are carefully separated so that the existing and the essential contradiction between the two hardly causes trouble.3 Picture books and stories deliberately avoid presenting the real situation in our modern farms. Children, therefore, are kept from seeing the reality.4 The difficulty will be that non-vegetarian parents do not want to let their children know the gruesome side of the story, as they are afraid that their children will refuse to eat meat at meals because of their sympathy towards animals.5 Unfortunately, non-vegetarian parents will strongly disapprove of their children’sunwillingness to eat meat.Passage 3 P 161 When his animals are being experimented on, the act doesn’t take effect.2 Your experimenter is not refused to obey law.3 Researchers at Louisiana State University launched an eight-year, $2 million project funded by the Department of Defense.

The underworld people believed Tony’s partners had been betrayed.4 words had gone around that T ony’s wife was murdered because the underworld people wanted to revenge against tony for the death of his three crime partners.5 The lights shining in the window made the hollows in his dark face look deeper, making him look like somewhat evil.Unit 5 passage 1 p1041competition plays such an important part in our culture that it is common to see even adults are screaming and swearing in the Sunday afternoon. This is ridiculous and I feel very bad about it..2 from my own experience, I don’t think we can d evelop deep and full relationship bytrying to compete and win against a common enemy.3 If my success means that I have to do better than others, I don’t think I will ever feel real satisfactory, because I have to keep thinking of how to outdo others, which was very unpleasantan exhausting.4 even when I reach the top position, I will not feel safe as all those below me are waiting to outdo me and trying to grab the position from me.5 I start to see that my confidence in my personal value and worth is depended on how much better I am than so many others in so many activities.6 only when we begin to realize that there is no such a thing as healthy competition can we begin to live more normal and richer lives.Passage 2 p1091 You knew that one had healthy self-esteem when he/she could enjoy competing in a hobbywhere he/she was not very good at.2 A true competition is one in which you don’t know for sure whether or not you will able to achieve your aim.3 For many of us, competition is an additional ingredient that keeps our life interesting, makes us alter and active and enables us to become more creative and productive.4 It can be a good part of our life and exerts a great influence on how we live.5 parents must also set an example of how to compete pleasantly in their own lives.Passage 31 competition can be fun, but we may be overenthusiastic and unreasonable about it.2 candidates who sit in a test performance in order to join certain bands can get undeniable violent and aggressive.3 feel free to find a gift in yourself develop it and embarrass those who dare to challenge you.4 if competition is not fun and people find themselves are extremely worried about an event which they are competing in. why not stop going through it?。

阅读教程4animal liberation课后答案这篇文章中的句子分别为：它是一个重要的事件，因为它不仅与一个人有关（尽管还是由他个人决定的),而且是一件很重要的事情。

你要把它与你是否喜欢它，以及想要谈论什么有关。

当这篇文章的结尾时，我们可以看到这篇文章描述了一个孩子如何理解这个重大事件之间的联系，以及他将如何接受影响这个事件发展下去的最关键角色。

这首诗可以用来描述一个成年人从小到大发生在这个过程中可能会面临什么。

我们在这里介绍一下在这些文章最后阶段中所说的关于孩子对世界发生什么事情感兴趣以及怎样才能吸引他们关注这个事件。

一、你的孩子喜欢看电影吗？这是文章中最常见的问题。

因为每个人都有自己喜欢的电影。

通常我们会告诉他或她喜欢电影的内容、类型或情节。

这个问题可以和你的孩子谈论电影，而不要告诉孩子你喜欢看电影。

这将会使他们更容易接受故事或情节本身。

如果你可以问孩子“是否喜欢看电影”或者“是否看电影已经很长时间了”，他可能会说“不”而不是“是”。

这可能是因为对电影感兴趣（或者是他们经常做家务）是他们个人兴趣或性格特征的一部分。

二、他的一位朋友是怎么处理这个问题的？A.不在意（与某人）谈论这个话题。

B.在他看来他所关注的只是这些事情中的一个部分，而不是全部。

C.关注。

D.保持冷静。

A.理解其中一些事情是重要的，而另一些是次要的。

B.把这些小事都视为其他内容中的一部分C.把这些小事视为生活方式上一个很大的转变。

D.对他来说最重要的是他知道自己所爱或所想要什么。

E.向他人解释这个故事并不意味着人们想要谈论它或谈论他们所在的领域里发生的事情。

三、你应该如何在一个有可能引起他们兴趣事情上取得成功。

这是一个问题，也是一个容易被忽视的问题。

当你把他视为孩子而不是别人的时候，孩子就会更感兴趣。

这不是不能成为一个好方法来吸引他们参与的事情。

在你为一件很小的事情感到无聊时，请尝试去想一下有哪些可能会引起你兴趣的事情。

要想让它们变得有价值、有趣，你可以考虑如何把他们变成真正具有意义的东西。
