Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists’ (专家) advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were developed to perform specific tasks. So, you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote (投入) a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.

Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where they feel secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The first consideration in buying a dog is whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

Today there are over 700,000 computers in our classrooms.

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills. Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.

Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a larg e meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. Most shoppers are less tempted to buy extras when they are not bothered by hunger. Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. A carefully planned list should include in-season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons. Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment. However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.

Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it’s time to leave for the store. However, no preparations are complete without a pocket calculator or a piece of paper and pencil to figure costs. Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist impulses to buy additional items. If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers resist impulse buying by using the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

1. In this passage, the author intends to state that it is advisable for a shopper to ________.

()

A. eat a big meal before visiting the grocery store

B. save time by including more items on the grocery list

C. find something healthy for meals in the grocery store

D. eat less than usual before going to grocery

2. In the third paragraph, “grocery issue” refers to . ()

A. the product on sale

B. the quality of grocery

C. a grocery list

D. a kind of advertisement

3. It can be inferred from the passage that buying through coupons .()

A. can make shoppers spend more money than usual

B. is always a shopper’s wise decision

C. may be a seller’s trick to cheat customers

D. is good for a store to sell out old goods

4. According to the writer, at the store some shoppers .()

A. use a big grocery cart to save shopping time

B. control the costs by using baskets to hold the groceries

C. stay for a while to have a final check on the grocery list

109. Now comes July, and with it examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boy s and girls have nearly two months’ holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.

The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can s pend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.

The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.

In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.

Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of th e warm sun on one’s back that makes the seaside what it is.

1. Summer holidays start _________.()

A. with July

B. as soon as the examinations are over

C. in mid-June

D. in August

2. After the examination, all pupils leave for home ________.()

A. by train only

B. by air

C. by bike

D. by either train or car

3. The summer holiday lasts _______.()

A. as long as two months

B. more that two months

C. one and a half months

D. a little less than two months

4. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can _______.()

A. stay with their parents for all the vacation

B. do more reading

C. play out of doors

D. meet their old friends

5. Children like the seaside so much because they can _______.()

A. swim in the sea

B. play with the sand

C. take a sun bath

D. do all of the above

No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes.

Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.

In 1533, when Catherine de Medicis left Italy to marry the future King Henry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made dessert the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert“ice cream.”

At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio’s “ice-cream parlor” b ecame so popular that other shops were opened.

About 1640, King Charles I introduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should serve the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became the rage in England too.

111. Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity. It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal——even while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed at 10pm or 2:30am made no difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.

Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element——some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading. Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book. You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m. rate creeping up.

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need to do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this servic e as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?

There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determines its value to society

113.

“Wash every day, and you will die young, my son!” people often said those words, long ago, of course.

Napoleon’s wife had new clothes every month, instead of a bath. (“It is quicker,” she always said.) Rich people did not often have a bath. They washed their hands and faces, but not their bodies. Many poor people did not wash at all. A young man once said to a doctor: “Soap and water have never touched my body.” (And the doctor answered, “That’s true. I know…”)

Why didn’t people wash in those days long ago?

Well, they did not have water in their houses. They carried water from rivers or from holes in the ground (=wells). Townspeople bought it from a water-carrier. Sometimes it was expensive; and soap was always expensive. They drank water, of course; and so they were clean inside. They did not think about the outside! And this was true: they just did not like a bath.

Modern life is different. We use a lot of soap and water. And we are all quite clean. However a few people use too much soap; and they often get ill. Who are these people?

Many young women work as hairdressers. They wash and then “dress” other women’s hair. That is their job, and they like it. Young hairdressers sometimes wash thirty heads on a busy day! Their hands are soapy for seven or eight hours; and that is n ot a good thing. A young hairdresser’s hands are often red and ugly; and she must then go to a doctor.

1. Which of the following is not true in those days long ago?()

A. Rich people often bought new clothes.

A. washing her face and hands is quicker than washing herself

114. Thanksgiving Day is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is the most traditional American holiday. The first Thanksgiving was held in Massachusetts in 1621. After a year of great hardship, the colonists wanted to give thanks to God for their first harvest. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a big feast. Today the holiday is still celebrated as a day for giving thanks. Bu t it wasn’t a regular national holiday until President Lincoln declared that the last Thursday in November would thereafter be Thanksgiving Day in 1863. It is a day of family reunion and it is customary to invite friends to share the meal. In some large cities, there are important football games that are played on Thanksgiving Day.

For Americans, Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days of the year when the entire family gets together. Everyone is glad to see everyone else and there is a very busy exchange of greetings. The women soon disappear into the kitchen to help prepare the dinner. The men, meanwhile, settle down to watch a football game on television, or to discuss business or politics. If weather permits, some of the more athletic men go outside to play ball with the children. Then everyone will sit down to dinner, in which traditional Thanksgiving foods such as stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkin pie are served. After dinner, people will sit around and talk.
