It's hard to make friends if you stay at home all the time, so get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触)other people. It's easier to make friends with them when you find you like the same things as other people.

Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at. You can talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if they, hear something interesting about you.

    Look at people in your eyes when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

    Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me” You can ask people lots of questions and show that you are interested in their answers.

    Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect(尊敬)and admire(羡慕). You shouldn't just make friends with those people you will meet them easily. Try to be friendly with all kinds of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from. Then you'll be easier to make friends with other people.

Jobs in Animal Care

Do you love animals? Do you think people must help and protect animals just like humans? Do you want to spend your days h{#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, maybe you should consider a job in animal care!

ANIMAL RIGHTS(权利) OFFICER:

Animal rights officers make sure that people treat animals properly. They visit homes, places where animals are bought and sold, such as zoos, and animal hospitals. They check to make sure that the places are clean, that the animals are getting proper nutrition(营养) and that they have enough s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to climb around and explore. Sometimes an animal rights officer will appear in court to protect the rights of an animal.

ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER:

To be an animal control officer, you must be in very good health because the job is an active one, i{#blank#}3{#/blank#} getting animals out of dangerous situations. For example, it's not always easy to get a cat down from a tree. Other times, animal control officers must take a s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} animal to the hospital for treatment(治疗). These animals are often in great pain, and are afraid and difficult to control.

ANIMAL DOCTOR:

An animal doctor is called a 'veterinarian' or 'vet'. Some animal doctors work for zoos or animal hospitals. Others, often called 'small animal doctors," treat smaller animals l{#blank#}5{#/blank#} dogs and cats. Many have their own private offices. Vets do most of the s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} things as doctors do. They take the animal's temperature, give injections(注射), and take X—rays. They also decide what kind of medicine a sick animal may need. If an animal w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} too little, the doctor may use a feeding tube(管) to make sure it gets enough nutrition. It takes six to seven years of higher education to become a doctor of veterinary medicine.

 What happens if you swallow gum(吞口香糖) by accident? You might have heard that gum stays in your stomach for up to seven years. But is that true? Beth Czerwony, a doctor at Cleveland Clinic, will explain what really happens when a piece of gum makes its way into your stomach.

Is it bad to swallow gum?

 Swallowing one piece of gum every now and then isn't likely to do any harm. But you shouldn't make a habit of swallowing gum, as that can do some damage.

 Gum base is largely synthetic(人工合成的). It's nondigestible which means your body can't break it down like it does other foods." So it just stays in your stomach all the way through," Czerwony explains.

Does gum stay in your stomach for seven years?

 Don't worry: Gum doesn't stay in your stomach for seven years or even seven days.

" If you' ve swallowed a piece of gum, it' ll come out about 40 hours later in your stool(粪便)," Czerwony says." Because it can't be digested, it comes right out whole."

When should you go to your doctor?

 Swallowing one piece of gum probably won't hurt you, but beyond that, be careful. Dr. Czerwony warns that too much at a time can cause an intestinal blockage(肠道阻塞)." Anything you eat after that isn't going to be able to get through, which leads to pain and pressure." she says.
