When I go to a new place, the first thing I like to do is walking around the streets, to explore and get lost in the city. When I first arrived in Santiago, Chile, and took a walk around the city center, one of the first things I noticed was how many stray dogs there were. The phrase “street dog” or “stray dog” is used to describe a dog with no home, who lives on the streets.
On every corner there was a sleeping dog. At every traffic light there was a dog waiting to cross. By every shop there was a dog waiting for food. At first I was nervous as I thought they might be aggressive or unfriendly. However, I have been here for more than a year now and every stray dog I have seen has been passive (顺从的), quiet and friendly.
The dogs are accepted and welcomed here in Chile. I have never seen a street dog being mistreated. In fact, they are often given food and water by the public. Some people even make jackets for the dogs or put out beds or kennels for them to sleep in.
The dogs do not have an easy life: they are often hungry, cold or injured. The government does not provide much care for these dogs.
Some people believe that the situation is getting out of control and that it is unacceptable to have so many dogs on the streets. The dogs can sometimes cause problems such as car accidents if they run into the road. There are around 2.5 million stray dogs in Chile and the dog population is growing faster than the human population. Many Chileans think that all the stray dogs should be sterilized (绝育的) so that they cannot breed (繁殖). Others think that the stray dog population should be culled (i.e. reducing the population by killing them).
The future of street dogs is uncertain but for now it looks like they are here to stay, with their population increasing year by year.
1．What did the writer find when she was in Chile?
A．Street dogs were unfriendly to foreigners.
B．Street dogs were quiet and afraid of people.
C．Shops were responsible for taking care of street dogs.
D．There were many street dogs in the city center.
2．Which of the following statements is TRUE about street dogs in Chile?
A．They are well taken care of by the government.
B．They live a happy and easy life in the city.
C．They often receive help from local people.
D．Many of them have been mistreated.
3．What can be learnt from the article?
A．The population of street dogs in Chile will soon be reduced.
B．The Chilean government is working to improve the life of street dogs.
C．Street dogs are responsible for most of Chile’s car accidents.
D．Street dogs are a cause for worry for some people in Chile.
4．The underlined word “aggressive” in the passage probably means__________.
A．增长的B．有吸收力的C．积极的D．有攻击性的
5．The article was mainly written to ___________.
A．show how dogs live well with people B．call on people to protect street dogs
C．discuss problems caused by street dogs D．describe the situation of street dogs in Chile

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.
Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people takenapsin the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people,
unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!
If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
1．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A．Because it’s very hot in summer.
B．Because you eat too much for lunch.
C．Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
D．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
2．What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?
A．If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.
B．Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
C．Y ou’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
D．Y ou can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy.
3．What can we learn about “naps” according to the third paragraph?
A．Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t.
B．Taking naps is helpful for people’s health in spring and summ er.
C．If you take naps every day, you’ll have less risk of heart disease.
D．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
4．What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A．Y ou will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C．If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 2:30 pm.
D．Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later.
5．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just For a Rest. B．All For a Nap.
C．A Special Sleep Pattern. D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

17、For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then around 10,000 years ago, about 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.
The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the sea, people eat a lot of fish. In central Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat so much fish, but they eat more meat. For example, in Germany and Poland, there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.
In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East, people use their fingers to pick up food.
Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to another. We can eat whatever we like, at any time of the year. In Britain, bananas come from Africa; rice comes from India or the U.S.A．; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is a very big business. But people in poor countries are still hungry while people in rich countries eat too much.

Lots of teenagers may meet the same problem - not knowing how to communicate with parents.
Your mum would like to know your situation so she bought you that head ring. I know that the head ring can help you focus attention, but it also makes you feel uncomfortable while wearing it for a long time. However, your mum really wants to help you. Mum always loves children, so you should let her know your feelings.
If you don’t know how to talk about it with her, you can write a l etter to her or you can send her messages on the phone. Hope my ideas can help you.
Yours,
Lihua。
