21、How often do you use the phrases “please” and “thank you”? Do you use these polite words with your parents? Do you use them with your children? Do you use them when you are angry? You need to use these words in your home every time they are proper; that includes with your parents and child even if you are angry. It also includes your friends who may call during dinner. Being polite - for example, "Please don't call here again. Thank you." ----works very well with them, in fact.
Start teaching manners to your child when he is very young. Even though a baby does not understand what you are saying, he knows you're saying something. As he grows, you will be pleased to find that he has included these words in his vocabulary. In fact, if you've started this right away, "please" and "thank you" will be among the first twenty words he says regularly.
There are a few times that your child may choose not to use these polite phrases. Sometimes it is on purpose and sometimes it is a mistake. For example, when meeting someone who is a stranger, he may become very quiet and not speak. Some support and a gentle reminder will work here. Or, he may get angry with his siblings(兄弟姊妹)and not use his manners on purpose. You'll need to remind him that being angry is no excuse for being rude.
When your child is invited to do something with another family, remind him to always say “please” and “thank you”. Simple reminders for everyday manners go a long way. Don't warn him; just remind him. Your child is often just as busy as you are and with the excitement of going out with a friend, he may just simply forget.

23、 As the novel coronavirus rapidly spreading to about 70 nations, many countries are canceling their major sporting and cultural events.
Already, major domestic (国内的) events in China, including the National People’s Congress and the World Athletics Indoor Championships, have already been postponed (推迟). Now the rest of the world seems to be following suit.
The world of soccer is also being affected. In Italy, several matches in February were played behind closed doors (without spectators). Meanwhile, entire soccer leagues in Japan, South Korea, and China's Super League have all been placed on hold (暂停). There is also the possibility that Euro 2020 — an international soccer tournament for European teams — could be cancelled. When asked about the cancellations, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said, “The health of persons is much more important than any football game. If games have to be postponed, then we have to go through that.”
The outbreak is also impacting cultural events around the world. Facing Europe’s largest COVID-19 epidemic, with over 2,000 confirmed cases (确诊病例) so far, Italy also cut short its iconic Venice carnival (狂欢节) and Milan Fashion Week show. The latter was being live-streamed from an empty theater.
Now, the biggest event in doubt is the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Held every four years, the event attracts hundreds of thousands of people and has not been postponed since 1944 — due to World War II. Set to begin on July 24, Japanese officials remain optimistic. In a press conference, Toshiro Muto, Tokyo 2020 CEO said, both the Olympics and Paralympics (残奥会) will go ahead as planned. He added, “The situation of the coronavirus infection is difficult to predict, but we will take measures [so] that we’ll have a safe Olympic Games.”
Speaking to the Washington Post about the Games, infectious (传染的) disease researcher Yvonne Maldonado said, “You bring many people together, and then you ship them back all over the world: That’s the perfect way to transmit. If you want to disseminate (传播) a disease, that would be the way to do it.”
On Feb 26, the World Health Organization said the virus was spreading faster outside China than inside for the first time, prompting (敦促) many countries to follow China’s strict isolation measures.
【1】What does the underlined phrase “following suit” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

B.Euro 2020 will probably not be held as planned.
C.Many soccer matches were canceled in Italy last month.

24、In September 2017, villagers found a tiny elephant wandering around alone in Burkina Faso, West Africa. They named the baby elephant Nania and brought it to a local wildlife base. The caregivers there saw promising signs-the young elephant remained physically healthy and didn't seem depressed. Experts predict the elephant was discovered within a day or two of being separated from her family, or she wouldn't have survived.
Fortunately, Nania grew well with her caregivers, who acted as her parents playing with her for 6-8 hours a day. Several months later, Nania was ready to start the process of returning to wild elephant group. As is known to us, turning wild animals into adopted ones is actually a process the animals can do naturally. Most animals including nonrelatives act like family. However, helping an elephant rejoin the wild is no simple task. Will it be able to find food for itself, avoid danger, and eventually have its own children?
Meanwhile, scientists began the search for her mother using DNA matching technology. They began collecting wastes samples from the 40 wild elephant tribes that passed through the area and analyzed the elephant wastes for DNA in a lab. Then one day, the lab found a surprising result: the DNA was a match. One of the sampled elephants was not just a family member of Nania, but almost surely her mother. Most importantly, through the DNA, the scientists discovered that Nania is a forest elephant. Forest elephants are endangered, which makes the importance of saving Nania much greater.
“What you really hope for is that there’s some connection that can be remembered when she finds her own species,” Katie Moore, vice president for animal rescue, said. “And that it just happens. To Nania, it will not feel lonely any more.”
【1】What do we know about the tiny elephant from paragraph 1?
A.It seemed well although it was lost.
B.It was frightened of being left alone.
C.It had been missing for a long time.
D.It felt quite frustrated for loneliness.
【2】What was people’s concern about Nania after it was rescued?
A.It was impossible for it to find its family.
B.It was hardly able to join other species family.
C.It was unwilling to leave and go back to the wild.
D.It might be hard for it to survive back in the wild.
【3】What can we infer from Katie Moore’s words?
A.Nania forgot the animals in wildlife base.
B.Nania managed to get used to its former life.
C.Nania could be recognized by other elephants.
D.Nania had almost forgotten her family members.
【4】What can be the best tittle for the text?
A.The Endangered Forest Elephants
B.A Lost Elephant Finding Its Mother By Itself
C.A Rescued Elephant’s Returning To The Wild
D.An Amazing DNA Matching Technology
