“You see someone just sitting there,looking like they’re stupid,”explains teenager Manny Logan excitedly.“You just run up to them,slap（掌击）them and run off.It’s funny.”
The 16-year-old Logan was describing “happy slapping”.It’s supposed to be fun but it’s a new problem in Britain.Young people will attack passers-by while their friends record the whole thing on a hand-held video recorder or mobile phone.It was first reported in south London six months ago.But,the practice has spread to other parts of the country and videos of attacks have become popular on the Internet.
The young people are called “hoodies” because they usually wear a sweatshirt with a hooded top.The top can be used to cover the head or face.
One study in England published earlier this year suggested that as many as one in four teenagers is an active offender.That includes both serious crimes and small acts like not paying for a bus ticket.
The fear of youth crime has left some parts of towns empty of ordinary people.
So,the British government declared war on public disorder last week.The Prime Minister has supported a decision by the country’s biggest shopping centre in southeast of England to ban teenagers wearing hooded tops.The clothing helps troublemakers hide from the centre’s cameras.
This week,the government is going further.It plans to force teenage offenders to wear orange jackets while they do public service.The idea is to shame them in front of others.
But some teenagers and experts have complained that,in their rush to stop the hoodies,politicians risk tarring all teenagers with the same brush. .
25.According to the text,for what do the teenagers attack a person?
A.Just for fun. B.Just for money. C.To become well-known. D.To help their friends.
26.Why do teenager offenders wear hooded tops?
A.To run away quickly. B.To record the happy slapping.
C.To avoid being hurt. D.To avoid being identified.
27.A teenager who wears an orange jacket doing public service is one who .
A.intends to attack people B.gets praised by the government
C.gets punishment for attacking people D.helps to stop hoodies attacking people

“Some secrets are hidden from health,”wrote John Updike in his poem“Fever”.
I have experienced the truth of Updike’s observation.My excellent health kept me from seeing some things- things that became secrets of sort.
One relates to my son Chris.When I lost my health in March,I discovered something I had missed about him.
Christopher has been a scholar and athlete through high school.He has behaved responsibly,engaged in community service.He has had an impressive peer group of serious students.
While I saw these things,I had missed before what I experienced while in hospital.Early on,Christopher offered the clearest and most forceful words about my need to be positive and to fight acute leukemia（急性白血病）.He never left the room after a visit without making me promise that I would be mentally tough and positive.
During the first week,he showed his own mental toughness,researching leukemia and learning what the chances were.He even stopped my doctor outside the room,introduced himself and asked directly what he thought of my chances.He processed the answer without overreaction.
Christopher did admonish（劝告）me against my choice of words the first week at home.I had moved back into my room from weighing myself,discovering a thin figure I did not know.I announced to him and my wife,“dead man walking”.I thought it was a way to lighten the obviousHe saw it as negativity and was strongly against such thinking and talking.
When I resisted taking medicine sometimes,Christopher formed a “good-cop-bad-cop”team with his mother. Betsy gently and patiently encouraged.He directly and forcefully insisted.He always made the logical arguments for why I needed to take some awful pills.
My health had hidden something from me;my ill-health helped me to see it.

A new study finds that young females in one group of African chimps（黑猩猩）use sticks as dolls more than their male peers（同龄）do,often treating pieces of wood like a mother chimp caring for a baby.In human cultures around the world,girls play with dolls and pretend that the toys are babies far more than boys do.
Chimp observations,collected over 14 years of field work with the Kanyawara chimp community in Kibale National Park in Ugandan,provide the first evidence of a nonhuman animal in the wild that exhibits sex differences in how it plays.This finding supports an argument that biology as well as society underlies boys’ and girls’ different toy preferences.
Stick play occurred most commonly between ages 3 and 9 Females spent a lot more time carrying sticks than males did.Young male chimps occasionally used sticks to mimic（模仿）childcare.“Far more often,they fought with sticks,an infrequent behavior among females,”say Sonya Kahlenberg of Bates College in Lewiston,Maine,and Richard Wrangham of Harvard University.
“Biological differences between the sexes make female chimps more receptive to stick-mothering than males,” says Wrangham.
Consistent with reported cultural traditions among adult chimps,Kanyawara youngsters learned from each other to play with sticks as if caring for babies.Stick play among young chimps showed no evidence of being directly influenced by older chimps.Child-bearing females never played with sticks and thus didn’t model such behavior for younger chimps.
Young females carried sticks for anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.They often rested in nests with their sticks,sometimes playing with them much as chimp mothers play with their babies though they didn’t get any form of teaching from the adults.
32.What does a stick seem like to a young female chimp who plays with it?
A.A doll. B.A mother. C.A baby. D.A toy.
33.We can see from the text that young female chimps .
A.often carry sticks with males B.always carry sticks,with males
C.never use sticks in fighting D.seldom use sticks in fighting
34.From whom do the young chimps pick up the stick play behavior?
A.From each other. B.From older chimps. C.From their mothers. DFrom male chimps.
35.What does the text mainly tell us about young chimps’ stick play?
A.The types of stick play and social influence. B.The sex differences and social influence.
C.The sex differences and age differences. D.The ways of stick play and age differences.

The art of growing dwarf trees,or “bonsai’’（盆景）as their Japanese creators call them,is increasing in popularity in the United States.Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. 36
In growing bonsai,first,one must be careful in choosing the type of tree,as the growing conditions are unusual. 37 Varieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable.
38 This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined（被限制）to the tree’s trunk and leaves,not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants.
Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim（修整）the roots and branches of the tree regularly.Unless this is done,the plant will not have the proper proportions（比例）and will look unnatural. 39
The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the trees well-watered.Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers,they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do.
As can be seen from the above,the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. 40 Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family.That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about:establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.
A.Then one must be careful in choosing the size of the container.
B.How can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art?
C.Why do so many people take a fancy to the art of bonsai-growing?
D.But one must get well prepared before starting bonsai-growing.
E.The satisfaction that growing bonsai brings can be great,however.
F.The ideal bonsai plants are trees just like normal trees in everything but size.
G.Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai.
