Five-year-old Prisilla Perez, a student at Meador Elementary School in Willis, was unhappy with her recent haircut, which resulted from a severe disease. When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.
Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her unhappiness. Grimm and Prisilla’s mom were concerned, but their ideas didn’t work. “We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks,” Grimm said. “However, it wasn’t sinking in.”
Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: Cut off her hair --- a scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it. “I’ve never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision,” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm invited a hairstylist friend to her home. “I told him to keep going, even if I cried,” she said.
The class loved their teacher’s new do, especially Prisilla, who excitedly ran off the school bus that afternoon yelling, “Mom, Ms. Grimm cut her hair!” The teacher also bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so they could style their hair together.
In February, the teacher recommended Prisilla for the school district’s Student of the Month Award, but during the Monday ceremony, she received a surprise “hero medal” from the girl. “Now we have matching awards,” says Grimm.
Prisilla’s mother, Maria, said that Grimm’s thoughtfulness brought her to tears. “I was shocked. I was crying. I

Finding a mountain goat resting high on a cliff(悬崖) might thrill many of the millions of tourists who visit Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park every year, but park officials say it might be time for the bearded animals to go.
The problem, according to the park, is that Grand Teton’s 100 or so mountain goats threaten about 80 bighorn sheep. The bighorn sheep numbered as many as 125 just a few years ago. The strong goats spread disease and compete with bighorn sheep for food. Unlike small-sized bighorn sheep, Grand Teton’s mountain goats aren’t native to the park. They were introduced to the park in the 1960s.
Grand Teton spokeswoman Denise Germann said, “We’ve got a management responsibility to protect the native species. After hearing from the public on the proposal (建议) in January, park officials expect to decide as soon as mid-February on what to do about the mountain goats.”
The goats are reproducing rapidly. Now might be the best time to reduce the animals before they’re too many to bring under control, according to the Park Service.
One wildlife biologist who studies bighorn sheep praised the proposal. Mountain goats’ original habitat is nowhere close to where they’ve been introduced in the U.S. to provide hunting opportunities, said Rob Roy Ramey II, with Nederland, Colorado-based Wildlife Science International, Inc.
Wildlife managers should get rid of mountain goats not only in Grand Teton but elsewhere to help struggling bighorn sheep, Ramey said. “Unfortunately, state wildlife agencies sell nonnative wildlife viewing opportunities to the public,” Ramey said. “This is not a zoo in the wilderness. It should really be for native wildlife.” 8. What can be learnt about the bighorn sheep in the park?
A. Their size is huge.
B. Their number is decreasing.
C. They arrived in the 1960s.
D. They threaten local species.
B. What problem Prisilla had at school. D. When Grimm got her new hairstyle.
B. Devotion to her students. D. Suggestion from the hairstylist.
B. She couldn’t concentrate in class. D. She couldn’t get on well with others.
9. How did the public help park officials protect the bighorn sheep?
A. By providing suggestions. C. By volunteering in the park. A. Curious. Concerned.
11. What was the purpose of bringing in mountain goats in the beginning?
A. To offer hunting chances. B. To sell nonnative wildlife. C. To satisfy wildlife managers. D. To increase diversities of sheep.

March 3 marks World Hearing Day. This year’s theme is “Check your hearing!” Many experts and health organizations, including those who pay attention to the hearing-impaired (听力障碍), are working to help people realize the importance of protecting their hearing and avoid hearing loss.
When we talk about music, what kind of feelings does it bring? Excitement… and relaxation. But what if the music lasts for hours?
We interviewed a group of musicians based in Beijing during the weekend. They all said that hours of exposure to loud music can cause discomfort. One added that band members like to play at maximum volume (音量) and forget the harm that loud music can cause. The same thing not only occurs to musicians. It’s also not rare for daily users since listening to loud music on loud sound equipment has become a part of modem life. According to the WHO, the practice has put more than a billion people around the world, aged 12-35, at risk of losing their hearing.
We also interviewed some headphone users in the street, and most of them said that they are not heavy users but admitted they use headphones for hours on the subway and in the office or home. It’s easy for these people to gradually increase the volume without awareness, especially in a noisy environment. Often, headphone users fail to realize they’re listening to audio at unsafe levels until serious hearing problems suddenly occur.
There are many reasons for hearing loss, including loud acoustic (听觉的) sources, drug abuse, and diseases. Experts suggest frequent medical checks and prevention measures.
Whether congenital (先天的) or acquired, loss of hearing is usually irreversible. “Once the hearing loss occurs, it’s already too late to be changed back to what it was before,” said Yang Shiming, expert of the Chinese PLA General Hospital. “Early prevention, early identification and early treatment. If everyone could do these things, hearing loss and its harm could be kept to a minimum,” Yang said. Of course, this applies to every one of us. 12. What might be a reason for hearing loss?
A. Listening to music.
B. Taking medicines.
C. Ignoring sound pollution. A. Get rid of drug abuse. B. Make prevention ahead of time.
D. Using headphones.
B. By driving away mountain goats.
D. By taking over Grand Teton National Park.
C. Surprised.
D.
10. What is Germann’s attitude towards the bighorn sheep?
B. Proud.
13. What does Yang Shiming advise people to do about hearing loss?
