Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospi tals for “visits”.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it.

We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly competitive with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does.Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can’t fly in because we don’t have enough money to buy the oil.47. The writer thinks that railways are much alive because________.A. They are cheaper and more convenient.B. There aren’t any planes or cars.C. We can have a comfortable journey.D. We feel dangerous on highways.48. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B. The railway station is usually at the center of the city.C. When you get off a plane you will find yourself right in the city center.D. No car or plane can carry as many goods as train.49.

Railway, not the End, but the BeginningC. Trains are More Competitive than Cars or PlanesD. Oh, Super-fast Trains五、任务型阅读（共5空，每空1分，满分5分）Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度).A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chances to make themselves successful. The following is about how to be more confident.Speak loud When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.。
