• 2．The elderly residents（居民）in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.

     There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East，and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.

• 3．Port Lympne Reserve，which runs a breeding（繁育）programme，has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf（犀牛幼崽）.When the tiny creature arrived on January 31，she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival，especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity（圈養(yǎng)）.
     Paul Beer，head of rhino section at Port Lympne，said："Obviously we're all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.She's healthy，strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother，Solio，is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the open，but as soon as the weather warms up，I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day."
     The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve，but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild.The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg.His mother，grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
     According to the World Wildlife Fund，the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500，giving the rhinos a "critically endangered" status.

• 4．We know that reading is good for children and for adults as well.Now a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits - even if you don't read them a lot.A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up in a home with a sizable library improves literacy，number sense and even technological knowledge in later life.
     The researchers were interested in what is called the "Radiation Effect" "Radiation Effect" is a situation where children grow up around books，even though they don't read them as much as their parents would like them to.But somehow books benefit them.
     Joanna Sikora，a sociologist at the Australian National University，and her colleagues studied data collected between 2011 and 2015.The survey tested more than 160，000 adults from 31 different societies，and it included a question about how many books testers had in their homes during adolescence（青春期的）.
     "We found that people who grew up around books had better literacy，numeracy and digital problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels，similar jobs and even similar adult habits." In fact，teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment were successful as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house lacking books.
     "So if we grow up in a house，in a home where parents enjoy books，where books are given as birthday presents and cherished and valued，this is something that becomes a part of our identity and gives us this lifelong influence to improve our reading and writing ability." said Sikora.
     So keep those shelves filled with books.Your kids will not only be grateful，they'll be more likely to be able to spell grateful correctly as well.
  
  （1）Which is the benefit for children being around books？

  
  A．They will work with numbers well.
  B．They will have a big library at home.
  C．They will fall in love with literature.
  D．They will form the habit of reading a lot.
  （2）The "Radiation Effect" might work for

  .
  A．a(chǎn) girl who doesn't read books
  B．a(chǎn) boy who receives higher education
  C．a(chǎn) girl who visits bookstores a lot
  D．a(chǎn) boy who grows up without books
  （3）What do we know from paragraph 4？

  
  A．College graduates raised without books are surely not successful.
  B．Teens，after graduating from high schools，can find better jobs.
  C．People raised in a bookish environment can solve real-life problems easily.
  D．Children being around books can be successful in adulthood.
  （4）What are parents advised to do？

  
  A．To have a big collection of books.
  B．To keep shelves filled with dictionaries.
  C．To enjoy writing books for children.
  D．To make kids spell grateful correctly.
