buildings near the football stadium.As the sun went down each evening,the coyote would lie in the grass next to a parking lot,waiting.Within his view,people walked their dogs along a bike trail.Each night,the coyote would charge at the first dog to come along.Dr.Stanley Gehrt,a scientist at the Ohio State University,led the team that solved the problem.Besides studying coyotes,he and his co-workers taught people ways to avoid problems with coyotes.In short,he says,“Don’t feed them,and manage your pets.”The secret to the coyote’s success is intelligence.To survive in the wild,a coyote must hunt small animals,and avoid becoming a meal for wolves or bears.“This way of living creates a super-smart animal,”Dr.Gehrt says.One of the smartest changes coyotes made was to hide during the day and come out mainly at night in the city.Coyotes have also learned to avoid their biggest killer:cars.One coyote has been seen sitting patiently at a busy crossroads.She may not know how traffic lights work,but she has learned that the cars will soon stop long enough for her to cross the street.The male (雄性的) that charged at passing dogs near Soldier Field is an example.Dr.Gehrt and his co-workers had already been watching the coyote for months,and the animal had always avoided dogs.But now he and his mate had a home with young coyotes on top of the parking lot nearby.He was charging at the dogs to protect his family.The researchers solved the problem.When the coyote pair appeared in the evening,they ran toward them,shouting and shaking a noisemaker—a coffee can with coins rattling (发出咔嗒咔嗒的声音) inside.“Usually,that’s all you have to do,”Dr.Gehrt says.“You do it once,and you’ll never see that coyote again.” Finally,the coyote pair moved out of the parking lot.1.What

title for the text?A.Smart Animals in the CityB.Meet the Coyote Next DoorC.Watch Out for the Coyote PairD.Our Love-hate Relationship with CoyotesBWhen my boss started talking about pension arrangements,it suddenly dawned on me:I was going to be stuck working in an office for the next 40 years.I’d always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol,thinking that this would bring me a better job.After graduating,I became an adviser.I enjoyed the work,but knew it wasn’t the right career for me.At this point,my 98-year-old grandma died,leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course.I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.I loved the programme.I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops.I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔羊) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales.I’d get up at 5 am in the morning and go out to care for the lambs that had been born overnight.In my old job,getting up early to go to the office was a struggle.It’s easier on a farm,where you know there are animals that rely on you.They’re living things,and if you don’t turn up something serious might happen to them.I’ve also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor,the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK.The role is very varied:one day I might talk at an agricultural show,educating children about where their food comes from;the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize the moment.To those interested in working in agriculture,try to get as much work experience as you can.5.What does the underlined part “dawned on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Hit.B.Moved.C.Excited.D.Satisfied.6.What does the author think of her job on a farm?A.Busy.B.Tiring.C.Difficult.D.Enjoyable.7.What did the author do at Red Tractor?A.She milked cows.B.She helped in farm shops.C.She took care of lambs on the farm.D.She gave speeches on agriculture to children.8.What is the author’s advice to readers?A.Work as a volunteer on a farm.B.Make a career change as soon as possible.C.Take the chance to do what you want to do.D.Get enough work experience before looking for a job.二、完形填空My bike was stolen last Saturday.Left with a

do voluntary works.I’ve volunteered for a variety of difference organisations.The activities include simple,everyday ones like cleaning our city square and take dogs for walks at an animal rescue centre.By volunteering,I’ve not only gained valuable experience and also built confidence in talking about strangers.I was used to be a shy person,but my volunteering experience gave us the opportunity to meet new people.Doing an activity I wouldn’t normaldo with other volunteers made me had a really fun time.These are just few of the reasons why I think volunteering is worthwhile.限时规范练4(模块一Unit2B)一、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。
