Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

Everybody hates rats.But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey—rats will soon be man’s best friends.

What happens after an earthquake？We send in rescue dogs.Why？Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat.

How does it work？First，the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens，the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号)．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat’s brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.

Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell  University，New York，says，“Robots’ noses don’t work  well when there are other smells around.Rats are  good at that.”Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don’t need electricity!

The “rat project” is not finished，but Julie Ryan  of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It  would be fantastic.A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to，and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.”Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake，of course)．

 After an earthquake most survivors can be expected to recover over time，particularly with the support of family and friends.Some families will be able to return to their normal life quickly，while others will have to contend_with the destruction of their homes，medical problems，and injury to family members.Children especially will need time to recover from the loss of a loved one or a pet or from the closing down of their school.

Children often turn to adults for information，comfort and help.Parents should try to remain calm，answer children’s questions honestly and remain understanding  when they see changes in their children’s behavior.

Children react differently to an earthquake depending on their ages，developmental levels and former experiences.Some will respond by withdrawing (不与人交往)，while others will have angry outbursts (爆发)．Parents should remain sensitive to each child’s reactions.Parents should spend time talking to their children，letting them know that it’s OK to ask questions and to share their worries.Although it may be hard to find time to have these talks，parents can use regular family mealtimes or bedtimes for them.They should answer questions briefly and honestly and be sure to ask their children for their opinions and ideas.Issues may come up more than once and parents should remain patient when you answer the questions again.For young children，parents，after talking about the earthquake，might read a favorite story or have a relaxing family activity to help them calm down.Parents should also tell children they are safe and spend extra time with them.They could play games outside or read together indoors.Most importantly，be sure to tell them you love them.
