Parents are a child’s first teachers. But some parents never learned from good examples. In New York City, a nonprofit agency called Covenant House tries to help homeless young mothers become good parents.

The twelve or so teenagers who live at the shelter attend parenting classes four days a week. The class is called Mommy and Me. Teacher Delores Clemens is a mother of five and a grandmother. She teaches basic skills, like how to give a baby a bath and how to dress a baby depending on the season.

She remembers one student who learned from her mother not to pick up a crying baby. The mother said that would only make the child needy and overly demanding. Delores Clemens says, “that's not true. You have to hold your baby! He is crying for a reason. If you never pick him up, he's going to keep crying. Pick your baby up. Cuddle your baby. Hug him! And she started to do that. They just want a little cuddling and a little love. And it works!”

Delores Clemens says her students also learn how to be good mothers by letting themselves be mothered. Around three hundred fifty teenage mothers graduate from  Covenant House's Mommy and Me class every year.

In class, with her baby son is Natasha. She lived on the streets. She is glad not only for the warmth and shelter of Covenant House. As she told reporter Adam Phillips, she is also glad for the help they offer in seeking a more secure life.

The World Health Organization says the United States has forty-one births for every one thousand girls age fifteen to nineteen. That is higher than other developed countries, as well as some developing ones. By comparison, northern neighbor Canada has fourteen births and southern neighbor Mexico has eighty-two.

Tiny tubes and filaments( 丝状物 )in some Canadian rock appear to be the oldest known fossils, giving new support for some ideas about how life began, a new study says.

The features(特征)are mineralised remains of what appear to be bacteria that lived some 3. 77 billion to 4. 28 billion years ago. the scientist said. That would be older than some other rock features found in Greenland, which were considered to be the fossils last August.

The new results come from examining rock found along the eastern shore of Hudson Bay in Northern Quebec. The filaments and tubes, made up be， made up of iron oxide called hematite（赤铁矿）， appeared within a rock type called jasper（碧玉）.

Matthew Dodd of University College London, an author of the study published Wednesday by nature, said the living things lived in the seafloor where water was heated by a volcano. Since the fossils are nearly as old as Earth, which formed some 4. 5 billion years ago, the finding supports previous indications that life may have begun in such an environment, he said.

He and his colleagues presented several lines of evidence to support the idea that tiny tubes and filaments are signatures of past life. But two experts who've previously reported similar findings said they are not convinced.

“I would say they are not fossils, "Martin J. Van Kranendonk of the University of New South Wales in Australia, who reported the Greenland findings last year, wrote in an email. The paper's evidence for a biological origin falls short, he said.

Abigail Allwood, a NASA geologist, said the authors have produced one of the most detailed cases yet made "for evidence of life in rocks older than 3. 5 billion years. But "It's an extraordinary claim to make and you do need extraordinary evidence, " she said

32. What do Matthew, Martin and Abigail have in common?

A. They have been studying rock features

B. They are working in the same university.

C, They all made a contribution to the Greenland findings.

D. They have discovered the oldest known fossils in the same place

33. How does Martin feel about the new study?

A. It confirms the biological origin           

B. It ignores the Greenland Findings.

C. It needs more to convince people         

D Its authors takes ideas and words from his

34. What's Abigail Allwood's  attitude toward Matthew's findings?

A. Supporting.    B. Disapproving.  C. Indifferent   D. Neutral

35. The new findings can make people know something about_______

A. the process of fossil formation           

B. how life started on the earth

C. how to examine rock and find fossils

D. how the earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago

How to Simplify Your Home Cleaning Routine

There are many ways to clean a house, but the best methods are those that save time and effort, while avoiding poisonous cleaning chemicals. 36    . Armed with these, you'll soon be looking for reasons to clean.

1. Keep stuff dry

Wetness is the enemy when it comes to keeping bathrooms and kitchens clean because it attracts bacteria. Leave the shower door or curtain open when not in use to allow for airflow. 37   . If you have dirty rags or dish cloths, hang them to dry between laundry loads.

2. 38

4. Never skip these two tasks
