山东省菏泽市2021年中考英语真题试卷
Like most kids, Landon Kenstrick, 5 years old, has a favorite animal. However, his favorite animal is quite different from other kids'. He loves pangolins.
Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails. They are toothless. They have small ears, but their hearing is good.
Their sense of smell is well-developed, too. But their sight is poor. When they feel frightened, they roll up into a ball to protect themselves. "My favorite thing about the pangolin is the scales (鳞片)it has on its body. They look cool, "Landon said.
Landon first learned about pangolins from a TV show, Wild Kratts. Knowing that pangolins are facing the danger of dying out, Landon quickly decided to take action to protect them. He wanted to tell everyone he knew about them. On Halloween, he had his parents carve (雕刻)a pangolin into their pumpkin (南瓜), so that when people asked what it was, he could tell them all about his favorite animal. When Christmas came around, Landon had only one wish: to save the pangolins. His parents had him "adopt (领养)" a pangolin in Landon's name. They also came up with a good idea. They helped Landon make Christmas gifts to sell to help raise money for the pangolins at a market. So far, he has raised $ 400.
If you think a 5-year-old boy is too young to save the pangolins, you'd be wrong. Landon told us nobody's too young to save anything.

According to the child and teen psychiatrist Gayani DeSilva, "Kids lie for many reasons, and it is normal for them to lie. People are not born with the knowledge of communicating with others and getting their needs met. They must learn how to communicate those needs in proper ways. They'll experiment with different communication styles and skills until they find the ones that work best for them. Lying is one of these skills."

The same goes for a child who has experienced something unpleasant. By paying attention to the reasons behind a lie, parents can know what needs to be done.
