23、Child Friendly To
A program Child Friendly To is working to transform Toronto into a place where all children can learn, play and grow in the healthiest way. We are building a culture that applies a child-friendly view to city planning and decision-making by increasing the role and voice of children in city management and increasing the rights of children across Toronto. We believe that:
★Children are important residents with unique ideas and experiences that have the power to change how we make plans and decisions.
★Children are experts in child-friendliness. Listening to children's ideas creates opportunity and improves equality. Building a city that is friendly to children requires an understanding of what living in the city is like -or a child.
★Engaging with children is our responsibility and duty. Local government has a responsibility to listen to children, as with all residents, when making plans and decisions.
November 20th is National Child Day in Canada. The day celebrates the importance of children as active participants in their own lives and communities, who can and should have opportunities for meaningful contributions to decision-making.
To celebrate National Child Day 2020, an event was held at City Hall with local students and city leaders. Children in grades four and five in Toronto were invited to share their ideas about creating a child-friendly city. We asked them:
★What would a child-friendly Toronto look, feel and sound like?
★B you had one wish to make Toronto more child-friendly, what would it be?
Children from nine schools across Toronto submitted hundreds of responses, from written texts, to drawings, photographs and maps. They described the people, places and things that need to be involved and considered to create a child-friendly city.
【1】What is the purpose of Child Friendly To?
A.To find ways to improve children's health.

24、Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way.
One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds.
One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die.
One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference.
【1】Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds?
A.Construction activities occupy birds’ paths.
B.Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats.
C.Hunting activities happen more frequently.
D.Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety.
【2】What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds?
A.Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes.
B.The progress still remains at the primary stage.
C.Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well.
D.Not many countries are involved in the activities.
【3】According to the researchers, __________.
A.governments need to work together and provide safe areas
B.safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together
C.more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries
D.human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes
【4】What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage?
A.They always travel from the north to the south.
B.They need to stop during the migration to correct directions.
C.All of them are endangered because of lacking protection.
D.Some of them take rests or feed in cities.
【5】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The migration of birds influences society development.
B.Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes.
C.Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, a man and a young teenage boy checked in to a hotel and were kindly shown to their room. The two staff members noted the quiet manner of the guests, and the pale appearance of the boy, who didn’t look quite well. Later, the man and the boy ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. The staff again noticed that the two guests were very quiet and barely talked to each other, and that the boy seemed disinterested in his food. After eating, the boy went directly to his room and the man went to reception and asked to see the manager. The receptionist asked if there was a problem with the service or the room, and offered to fix things, but the man said that there was no problem of that kind, and repeated his request in a kind manner. The manager was called and duly appeared. The man asked to speak in private and was taken into the manager’s office.
The man explained that he was spending the night in the hotel with his 14-year-old son, who was diagnosed with cancer and thus was seriously ill, probably terminally so. He had gone through various treatments which were supposed to make him feel better. And he did, but his mood changed forever. He was not as happy as before and usually felt down. The boy was soon to receive chemotherapy (化疗), which would cause him to lose his hair. The father knew this was going to end badly for his son. In order to lift the boy's spirits, they had come to the hotel to have a break together, enjoying some father- and-son moments. The father continued that the boy needed to shave his head that night, which would probably give him unwanted attention. He would like his son to be strong, rather than feel that the illness was beating him. In the meantime, he also wanted to protect. his son’s dignity (尊严) and let him feel normal just as everyone else.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
