一、阅读理解
A dog, it is said, is a man’s best friend. Put a dog, a kid and a book together, and you have a struggling reader’s best friend.
The therapy dogs of R.E.A．D．– Reading Education Assistance Dogs – have been helping children improve their reading skills since 1999, when Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) began the program in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Today, tens of thousands of R.E.A．D．teams – dogs and their owners – volunteer to spend time with youngsters in schools and libraries across the United States and around the world. The idea is that sharing a book with a nonjudgmental (不带评论的) partner encourages students’ confidence and helps develop a love of reading.
Izzy, a Havanese therapy dog, is a regular visitor to Public School 57 in East Harlem, New York. Students meet him in the library, pick out a book and sit down on the carpet. Izzy snuggles (依偎) up to them and gets ready to hear a story.
“I love reading to Izzy because he listens to me, and he doesn’t make fun of me when I make a mistake,” says third-grader Aelane Vasquez. The 9-year-old, whose parents are from Mexico, is one of 15 Latin-American students at the school who were selected for the program.
“All the students that we work with in the R.E.A．D．program were behind reading levels at the beginning of the year,” Bridget McElroy, who teaches English as a Second Language, explained. “Now most of them have reached the average level, if not above it.” That’s important, because achieving proficiency (熟练) in reading is vital for kids to succeed. Studies have shown that students who can’t read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school by the age of 19.
The R.E.A．D．teams from New York Therapy Animals work with 175 kids at Public School 57 and nine other schools.
McElroy said she sees a marked difference in Aelane and her classmates, and not just in study. “Not only do the kids have time to practice reading, what we are really seeing is that they are excited to read and practice even when Izzy is not here,” she said.

D．When not accompanied by the dog, kids will stop practicing reading consequently.
New research finds a link between poverty and poor decision making. The findings may explain why poor people sometimes make bad choices that continue their hardship.
Earlier studies have found the poor less likely to escape poverty. But there has been little research on why the poor make decisions that make their lives harder. Until recently, Eldar Shafir, a psychologist and his team did two experiments. One took place at a shopping center in New Jersey. The other was carried out among sugar cane (甘蔗) farmers in rural India.
The New Jersey experiment involved individuals with low paying jobs and others belonged to the middle class. All the volunteers were asked what they would do if their cars needed repairing.
The volunteers were given two imaginary situations. In the first, the car repair cost $150. In the second, $1,500.
“In the first, the poor and the rich performed equally well.”
“And when the repair cost $1,500, the poor performed significantly worse.” The poor lost about 13 IQ points on average. This is about the loss experienced when a person has not slept for one night.
The scientists then wondered if the same person reacted differently when he was rich
and when he was poor. Once a year when the harvest comes in, the India sugar cane farmers earn most of their money, which often does not last through the year.
“So they find themselves basically rich after the harvest when the income comes in and poor just before the harvest.”
The researchers gave them tests similar to the ones taken by the people in New Jersey. They tested the Indian farmers before the harvest and after.
And the results were much the same as with the mall shoppers.
“They performed much more slowly and made many more mistakes when they were poor than when they were rich.”
Mr. Shafir says the results support 50 years of research that shows all humans have limited mental power to deal with things in life.
“And so the insight here is that, having not enough of something in a way makes it harder to make good decisions for everything else.”
4．What is true about earlier studies?

D．they didn’t take the second situation seriously
A．are smarter when they are poor
B．earn money all through the year
C．earn a lot of money so they think they are rich
D．feel rich after the harvest and poor before the harvest
7．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．It is hard for the poor to rid their poverty.
B．The poor will become much poorer.
C．Poverty weakens brain power.

Occasionally, life can be impossibly difficult, and it can be hard to keep going. But you always have a choice.
In 2012, I got a call from my family saying that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed. He died only six months later. My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so strong that I honestly thought he would come back to life. I couldn’t believe I would never again hug him.
Shortly after that, my oldest sister complained of a backache. The doctors discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing they could do. She died a month later. She was my favorite person in the whole world. I never thought I would have to live without her. I was overcome by the shock and extreme heartbreak. Then, something was wrong with my knees and I ended up in the hospital myself.
I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. I realized that night that I had a choice. I could end my life or I could live it. I looked in my sister’s eyes and decided not to go with her just yet. I decided to stay and complete my journey here. I also decided that I would live the life that I absolutely longed for.
I now live in an adorable cottage with an amazing boyfriend. I spend quality time with the rest of my precious family and cherish every moment I have with them. I connect with my heart often to ensure that I am following my joy. I love myself more deeply every day. Not a day goes by when I don’t miss my father’s huge character or my beloved sister’s gentle eyes, but I know that I will be with them one day. What I have now is so precious that I must grasp the joy in every moment I can.
You choose life every day. But do you choose the life that you love every day? 8．What did the author once suffer from?

As some cities start driving beggars from their major streets, some of the smarter ones have found a safer, more comfortable place to carry on — the Internet.
These “web beggars” go online with sad stories, and send out emails asking for money, according to a recent Beijing News report.
The paper published one example from a reader who had received it.
It said, “I’m from Chengdu. Dad died when I was a kid and Mum is seriously ill. My girlfriend has just dumped (丢下) me. I am so depressed that I cannot leave home. Would you please help me with 10 yuan for a meal?” The sender left the name Li Dan and a bank account number.
A reporter later contacted Li Dan through QQ, a Chinese Internet chat service. He said that he was 21 and had recently dropped out of college.
“I started begging by the Internet last December, just for fun,” he said. “But when I got the first 10 yuan in January, I decided to become a full-time web beggar.”
Li said he knew about 10 other web beggars in Chengdu. They all stayed at home to write emails and could probably send over 1,000 per day. They would exchange experience and thoughts over QQ or beggar websites.
The story got some reaction from the public. Some saw it as a fresh idea but others suspected (怀疑) that it was just another form of cheating.
In related news, Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, began to ban begging in eight of its major districts on Monday, according to the local media.
That caused a heated discussion about whether it violated (侵犯) beggars’ rights.
Most people supported the policy, repeating the old line that most beggars were not real beggars and that they annoyed people constantly, according to a newspaper poll (计票). 12．What do “web beggars” mean?
A．The beggars who have a net.
B．The beggars that ask for money by the Internet.
C．The beggars that like the Internet.
D．It’s a website which is controlled by some beggars.
13．Why are some beggars fond of the Internet?
A．Because the places where the beggars are allowed to beg are becoming fewer and fewer.
B．Because the Internet is safer and faster.
C．Because the Internet is so developed.
D．Because the beggars are not allowed to leave home.
14．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Beggars can get some money from banks.B．Li Dan quit college.
C．Li Dan is a specialized beggar.D．Beggars have their own websites. 15．How did people feel about begging by the Internet?
A．It was another kind of cheating.B．It was a different idea.
C．It made people angry.D．A, B and C．

How to Encourage Your High School Students to Do Their Best Encouraging your high school students to do their best isn’t as hard as you may think. It should become part of a daily routine that both you and your teen can enjoy more than fear. The following tips may help you:
◆ 16 Know what classes he/she is taking, what does your teen think of the teacher or ask if your teen feels he/she is learning anything. This is an excellent dinner table conversation if you can keep it light and positive.
◆Set the expectations. 17 You would not do your teen any favors by not telling him/her what grades you will be expecting. Send a clear message to your teen about the grades you expect to see in each class. Keep your expectations in line with what your teen feels he/she can do.
◆ 18 While your teen will need to keep his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have a goal that he/she feels important too. Learning to establish goals teaches independence, one of the things your teen needs to learn to become a successful adult.
◆Have what they need at home, or a way to get it. Resources are important for high school students. Your family should have library cards or a way to access the Internet for homework. 19 It is also a good idea to set up a mobile homework center.
◆Stay involved. Show support for your teen’s school by attending parents’ meetings and other activities. 20 Always be respectful to your teen’s teachers but do not be afraid to ask them tough questions. Please be your teen’s advocate (拥护者) when necessary.
