A
My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we
saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down,
talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone
number. I called but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while
I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while
our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around
with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father's dog.
She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying
to p ersuade m e t o c ome b ack, b ut I w asn't h earing a nything t hat m ade t hat s ound l ikely.
I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell
down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There
was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.
In the song "Love Is Not a Fight" Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one
point he sings, "And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door."
Sometimes angels come disguised as dogs.

A company advertised in the newspaper for a sales position. Details of the prerequisite (必备条件), salary and benefits were given. It was also clearly stated

s contact information themselves.
Tim did a search on the Internet. By typing the company’s name, he easily obtained all the information including its contact number. Lisa called up the local telephone number search service and found out the company’s office number. She called up the
office and got the required contact information. Donna put in a greater effort in her search. She remembered seeing a poster by the same company in the city so she drove all the way down and made a few rounds to search for it. She finally found it together
with the company’s contact information.
Three days after that advertisement was published in the newspaper, most interested applicants were still waiting eagerly for an amendment. On the other hand, the application letters and resumes of Tim, Lisa and Donna had already reached the hands of the company’s HR manager. They were then called up for an interview. During the interview, all went well and immediately they were hired. The three of them were a little surprised at how fast things went on. They were expecting for an aptitude test
as stated in the advertisement. The HR director answered them, smiling, “Our test
is hidden in the advertisement itself. To be a good salesperson in this age, he or
she has to be broad-minded and very importantly, does not follow rigid (死板的) steps
or rules. You are all clever and agile. In a short time, you’ve managed to find ways
of contacting us. It shows clearly that you have passed the test with flying colors!”

Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for
the d eath o f o ne i n t en a dults w orldwide (about 5m illion d eaths e ach y ear). I f c urrent smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, which is about 650 million people, will eventually
be killed by tobacco.
Tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs o f t obacco u se a re e qually d evastating (破坏性的). I n a ddition t o t he h igh p ublic health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height
of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due
to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in
an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss
being in developing countries.
Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate,
since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead. 9. According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT
_______.
