A. Choose the best answer.

If you want to do a school project on children’s rights, you can look on the Internet for some information. A  United Nations website can show you plenty of useful information for the project.

The United Nations lists the rights of children. Most countries agree all of them, but some countries do not. The following are some of the most important rights of children:

u Children have the right to be properly fed, clothed and sheltered by their family. If their family can’t do so, the government should take __________.

u Children have the right to an education and medical care, which should be provided by the government.

u Children must not be cruelly punished by their parents or any others.

u Children have the right to expect the government to protect them from all kinds of abuse（虐待）and neglect

.

u No child under fifteen should be made to fight in an army.

As mentioned, children have the right to be protected from being made to work too hard to make money for other people. In some countries children do not have these rights. Many young children are made to work long hours in factories and on farms. In some countries there are so few schools that only rich children get an education. There are not enough doctors or nurses to help many children when they are sick. The rights of children are, therefore, the rights people think children should have. They are not always the rights children really have.

Are you thinking of spending part of your summer holidays in Britain? We can help you. Just read the following introduction of its nicest holiday town—Brighton.

Brighton, a famous holiday town next to the sea in Sussex, on the southeast coast of England, is only 50 minutes on a fast train from London.

The town usually has a population    of 134,000 people, but in the summer this number

A long time ago Brighton was a quiet fishing town. It 69 had a different  name  from  today’s,  Brighthelmstone. Later on, when swimming in the sea became popular, many rich and important people, as well   as writers, musicians and       70          began to arrive and Brighton became a popular seaside holiday town. Prince

Georg（e  later became King George IV），first came to Brighton in 1783. He liked it so much and used to spend part

of the summer there. He asked John Nash, who was a very famous builder at the time, to build him a palace. It  took about 40 years to build the palace and it 71 half a million pounds! Many famous and important people  enjoyed Brighton over the years. Now more than 400,000 tourists come to Brighton and the palace—Royal Pavilion—every year.

So if you are also interested in this wonderful holiday town, why not come and enjoy?

I fall in love with every pet I see. To me, they are family. They depend on me. When I found out that thousands of homeless pets are killed every year in my Texas hometown, I felt sad. I found it n      74       to help.

I started a charity to r    75    money to help animals. I collect money for my local animal shelter. It’s hard    when I stand for six hours in the hot sun with my donation  box. It’s hard when people say no. But a lot of people say yes. It feels good to help animals. Even a young person can make a difference. I’ve collect more than

$17,200. Every cent helps give homeless animals a second c      76     .

Helping animals has always been a big part of my family life. I’ve been visiting and volunteering at the   shelter

even before I could walk. I’ve exercised dogs, c    77     up after them, and took care of them when they were     sick or dying. We foster dogs in our home. But sometimes we end up p   78    them to sleep, like my dogs Brodl, Mac, and Gus.

My friends help, too. For my ninth and tenth birthdays, Judy and Carl donated pet things instead of giving me    g____________________79____________________. Jackie, another friend, made $42 in his free time and donated it to my charity.

My mom helps, too. She drives me around so that I can collect money. I feel t____________________80____________________to her because we have so much fun going out and doing this together. We love to help any animal that has fur and four legs.
