Dear Miss Manners，
Friends of mine lost their home in a house fire. It was terrible. Another friend set up a "go fund me" type page for friends to donate and help the couple. Many friends, including me, helped with money, meals, lamprey and their dog while they were getting back on their feet．
Last week, they sent thank-you notes. My roommate received one addressed to her and I did not. The notes were not in modularized. It was a printed one-size-fits-all message．My roommate realized I didn't receive a thank you note, so she sent a private message to the couple just letting them know I had been left out．
I didn't know she had done this until later．
The next day, I got a text message apologizing and saying that I had been left out because their friend who addressed the notes must have missed me! （Miss Manners, they didn't even address the notes themselves!）It was accompanied by a picture of the thank-you note, which was texted to me with the message, "Here is a thank you just for you. "
I was a little annoyed. I helped them in their need and didn't get a second thought. I have not responded to her text message. Is it fair of me to consider this friendship over? Should I tell her that I am upset, or should I accept that this rude thank you was better than nothing?
Yours ever,
Mary

Pets are an important part of many families, and a new Red Cross Pet First Aid App puts life-saving information right in the hands of dog and cat owners so they can provide emergency care until veterinary assistance is available. The 99-cent Pet First Aid App gives iPhone and Android smart phone users instant access to expert information so they learn how to maintain their pet’s health and what to do during emergencies.
“It’s a pretty slick App,” said Red Cross spokesman Brian Shawn. “For a pet person like me, it has everything you need to know to take care of your pet.”
The App shows smart phone users how to identify early warning signs that a pet is sick and needs a veterinarian. It also brings up the location of the closest animal hospital, which can be invaluable for pet owners taking advantage of the pet-friendly travel trend that’s hot in the hospitality industry. And it can even walk you through basic first-aid for Fluffy, to help him survive long enough to get him to the vet in an emergency situation.
“The Pet Fist Aid App provides step by step instructions, videos and images for more than 25 common first aid and emergency situations including how to treat wounds, control bleeding, and care for breathing and heart attack emergencies.” said Red Cross Dakotas Region CEO Judy Green.
For those pet owners who learn better with a hands-on demonstration, the Dakotas Red Cross offers pet first aid classes about twice a year, which will teach you how to perform CPR on your pet and how to check its vital signs.
History shows that people have not left during disasters because they did not want to leave their pets behind. The Red Cross App contains resources to help owners include pets in their emergency action plans. Pet owners may also take a Red Cross Pet Fist Aid course so they can practice the skills and receive feedback.

When an ice cube melts, it creates a puddle (水坑). When an ice sheet (冰盖)melts, it raises sea levels. It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels.
Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, An international team of scientists looked at 20 years of' data in the ice sheets collected by 10 satellite missions. The team's conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, meltwater from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters.
Over the 19 years studied, the Greenland ice sheet lost trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither.
While the Earth is warming overall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region. Over the last 15 years, for example, scientists have something disagreed over how climate change has affected the polar ice sheets. Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell on the sheets to compensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall.
Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the studies didn't all use the satellite data in the same way. Those differences made it difficult to compare the results.
The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites.
12. Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the beginning?
A. To present the reason for ice sheet melting.
B. To show us the result of a scientific experiment.
C. To give a simple example to introduce the topic.
D. To present a common daily finding obvious to the readers.
13. The researchers reached their conclusion by_____.
A. analyzing the findings of former studies
B. referring to the data from satellites
C. observing the Antarctic and Greenland
D. making measurements in the Antarctic and Greenland
14. What does the underlined phrase "compensate for" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Cut down.
B．Lead to．
C．Bring about.
D．Make up for.
15. Which of the following might be the best conclusion for the passage?
A. Ice sheets are shrinking due to global warming.
B. People are suffering from climate change.
C. Rising sea levels makes people live in danger.
D. Shrinking ice has nothing to do with sea levels.
