Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below .Here is The Pines ,whose cook has developed a
special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou ,wild boar ,and reindeer with surprising sauces .
Best time to visit is during the off-season ,from early May to mid-June ,or in October .This way you
can avoid sharing the high way with mobile(移动的)homes which can be pulled by cars .But whatever
the season ,take some lunch with you from Banff ,because there are only a few food stops on the road.
Forty minutes north of Banff ,side by side with the Banff National Park ,sits world-famous Lake
Louise .This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it .Glaciers ,
huge masses of ice ,moving very slowly against rocks ,produce what is called glacier rock flour ,making
its water dark to see .It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise ,another
beauty ,proud of its early 20th century history.
Back on the road , and it"s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield ,then turn off
the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier .You can rent ice cleats(夹板)
and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour .Either way ,you can enjoy e
ndless beautiful sights.Finally you"ll reach Jasper ,the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop(回路).It"s
worth riding the Jasper Skytram ,and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge ,also dating back
to the 1920s.If you can have lunch there ,do it .The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine

just may be an unavoidable part of growing up. And that"s a good thing. These are the first steps toward independence. Even young children have to challenge their parents sometimes.
Studies have shown the following: Although stressful,conflict is beneficial for children.
Learning to manage conflict is necessary for a child"s development.
Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire more attention than parents can or
should give.
If you understand why conflict occurs,it can minimize the conflicts between you and your children.
Conflict is a child"s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or she learns to express his or her needs and ideas.Parents develop and drive this independence by putting children to the outside world both
formally and informally.
Conflict can grow out of different opinions or might just be a way to blow off steam (
发脾气). In rare situations, constant conflict between parents and chil
dren can indicate a deeper emotional problem.Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.
It"s important to offer your child choices, which should be determined by age and developmental level.
The more responsible a child is, the more choices he or she gets in reward. You can threaten your child
with punishment,but often offering a choice will better improve angry situations.nConsequences and
rewards should have some meaning to your child.
Often a child"s adverse (敌对的) reaction when he or she hears the word "no" can be avoided by
giving the child
an explanation as to why you have refused his or her request.B. teachers
C. parents
D. children
B. children behave politely
C. parents control their feelings well
D. parent
s understand their childrenB. get tired of staying at home
C. be worried by the outside world
D. want to avoid going to school
B. doesn"t really mean a deep emotional problem
C. is an important choice
D. involves visiting doctors
B. Children enjoy giving their opinions by challenging their parents.
C. Most parents would rather punish their children than reward them.
D. Communication can reduce conflict between parents and children.
away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no
longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.
We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple
letter was placed, reading:
"Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but
they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm.
Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome anything. Don"t hold your head down.
Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.
This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because
it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left
the belongings. The city would say that it isn"t a problem but I see the lives walking to and
from it.
I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if
she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat
but knew the hood could shelter (遮挡)someone from the rain.
We don"t know where these gifts of compassion(同情)will go. We never go back and
see what happens. It"s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all
that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some
things felt so right.
B. They often threw the useless daily items away
C. They liked helping others by sharing their things
D. They often gave away the daily items they didn"t use

C. tell the poor how to use the items correctly
D. tell the poor to pass on the spirit to others
B. they had a good habit of saving things
C. they often received telephone calls for help
D. they hated being troubled by homeless people
B. Good behavior leading to happiness
C. The most important thing in our life
D. Happiness coming from sharing things
a virus (病毒)called "Mellissa" that disguises itself as "an important message" from a friend.
"Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100
places around the world have been attacked by the virus," computer experts said on Monday.
The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first workday by
making computers send off dozens of email containing the virus. Although the virus had no
long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching.
Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were
damaged, along with thousands of the other instructions" systems.
The body of email message says "Here is what you ask for…" Once the user opens it,
the virus digs into the user"s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 addresses.
The reason the virus spreads so rapidly is that you"re getting it from people you know and
trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected email with the "Important Message" subject line
is advised not to open it and to delete (删除) it immediately.

C. Friday
D. the first day of the month

C. paints
D. notices

C. Message from Friends Contains Virus
D. Virus Strikes Hard and Fast
or feel like they just don"t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things
you can do to help protect animals.
Think twice before you decide
The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go
a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的)
diet. If you aren"t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy
animal products fr
om companies known to use practices that go against the law such as using drugs to increase milk production in cows.
Help get the word out
Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up
a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues
that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the
serious pet over-population problem we"re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if
you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.
Write a letter
We"ve all heard the saying, " The pen is more powerful than the sword". Put this idea
to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals,
write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won"t buy their
products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者)
to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make
them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
Be more loving
If you"re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a
homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just
waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight
against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who are responsible for
taking care of pitiful animals.
Let your actions be an example to others
It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak
to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures
with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid (避免)entertainment
places that use animals to perform. Support legislation (立法)that protects animals. All of
these things set an example for others to follow.
