The personal computer has overtaken（赶上）the family dog as man's best friend, according to a study.
Researchers found that just 6 percent of us believe that "most people rely more on their dog than they do on their PC", while 67 percent think the opposite to be true. Even 38 percent of dog owners admitted to relying more on their PC than on their dog, although 36 percent disagreed. And 71 percent of 18 to 24-year-old dog owners said they relied more on their computer.
Paul Allen, editor of Computer-active magazine said, "These days you can even take your PC for a walk, if you have a laptop or tablet." "It's only a matter of time until the first PC that fetches your slippers."
Researchers questioned 2,000 British adults to find out the change modern technology has brought to their home life. They found that male dog owners are almost twice as likely as female owners to rely on their computer than a canine companion.
Mr Allen said, "With broadband bringing them global news and newspaper sales falling, the family dog even misses out on the pleasure of taking the paper to his owner." But it's not all bad news for obedient（顺从的）dogs. "The family PC has given dog owners access to a wealth of resources and information that can help with the long-term care that a dog needs," Mr Allen said.
（1）Who are most likely to rely on computers?
A Teenagers.
B People in their early twenties.
C People in their early
thirties. D People in their early forties.
（2）What is the general idea of the passage?
A The personal computer has replaced the dog as man's best friend.
B The computer and the dog are man's best friends.
C Modern technology has brought changes to people's home life.
D The dog as a pet will disappear completely from people's life.
（3）What is the advantage of dogs as pets over the personal computer now?
A The dog can go out for a walk with people.
B The dog can bring people more pleasure.
C The dog can help people fetch something.
D The dog is more likely to follow its owner's orders.
（4）What does the underlined word "canine" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A Human.
B Pet.
C Family.
D Dog.

9. Dear the Students' Union,
I have learnt that you need five volunteer English teachers. I'd like to be one of them, so I'm writing to apply for the job.
My name is Li Hua, a member of the Loving Heart Club in our school, and I have a good command of English. I think I'm fit for the job well, because I have worked as an English tutor before, which will help me do the job better.
As far as I'm concerned, being a volunteer teacher is helpful to improve my understanding of the world. Besides, by helping others, I can make a small contribution to society.
I'd appreciate it if you could possibly consider my application. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
