However, when the dog gets larger, it isnot fun to be bitten by it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human skin or clothing is an important lesson.

Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not.Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dog when he does what you want him to, he will become very well-behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a tied stocking or an old shoe.

Usually, an old woman who sold flowers or fruit on the street left the basket beside the door of the person receiving it.There are lots of different things in these baskets, such as flowers, stones, and even feathers. Each thing in the basket had a special meaning and by working out the secret message in each thing, the person who received the basket could determine the true feelings of the giver.This idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to Germany, France, and England. However, over time, only sending flowers remained popular.A bunch(束) of flowers told young ladies about the feeling in the hearts of young men. Each different flower had a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant "You are beautiful and pure." Pink carnations(康乃馨) meant "My love for you is strong and great." Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant "I saw you with someone else."Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers, so a person had to watch out what flowers they chose to send. For example, depending on which dictionary you used, and which color you gave, a young man's roses could mean, "I love you", "love is dangerous" or even "my love has decreased(减少)".By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion, and the more direct way of sending love letters began.

And the more you smoke, the earlier the heart attack is likely to be. For example, a 50-year-old who smokes more than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the same age.What does smoking do to the heart?

Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. Finally, your arteries will narrow faster if you smoke.So if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy –– not to smoke. Don’t copy your friends and other people who smoke. If you smoke, find out how to stop. Stopping isn’t easy, but you’ll be healthier, and ....1. Who is more likely to have heart disease?A. A smokerB.

Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting(融化的)snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(打滑) across the road.Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So every time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn't spill it.Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.1.The writer tries to __________ in this passage.A. show his dislikes about bad winter weatherB. give information about winter weatherC. ask people not to drive in winterD. advise people about safe driving in winter2.People can __________ after reading this passage..A. find out about the weatherB. get some information on driving lessonsC. learn about better drivingD. decide which is the best season for travelling3.According to the passage, the writer thinks that ___________.A. people should not drive in the snowB. drivers should think more about problems in winter drivingC. people drive too fast in winterD. winter drivers should stop their cars less4.In the passage the writer talks about a cup of coffee __________.A. to show how carefully the driver should drive on icy roadsB. to ask the drivers to bring some soft drinks with themC. to tell the drivers to be more relaxedD. to show how it can be spilled5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.
