If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether th e dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists’ (专家) advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were developed to perform specific tasks. So, you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote (投入) a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where they feel secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The first consideration in buying a dog is whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?（）A. You can always get help from the specialists.B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C. You should decide what kind of dogD. Size and chara2. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?（）A. The color of the dog.B. The price of the dog.C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.D.

A dog is a more demanding pet than a cat because_________.（）A. it must be trained so that it won’t biteB. it emands more food and spaceC. it needs more love and careD. it must be looked after carefully4.

They were huge and costly. They used a lot of energy. Only a few people were interested in them. Today computers are smaller and cheaper. They can do some amazing things.Computers have become important for many reasons. They work faster than humans and make fewer mistakes. They can “remember” huge amounts of in formation. A computer can solve millions of problems in a few seconds. A person might need years to solve the same number of problems.Computers are used in nearly every kind of work. Police use them to check on stolen cars. Companies use them to keep track of supplies. Planes and trains are guided by computers. So are telephone calls and traffic lights. Small computers are being used in schools and homes. In 1981 there were about 30,000 computers in our classrooms. Today there are over 700,000 computers in our classrooms.The use of computers is growing. More computers will mean more jobs for many people. People will be needed to run and repair them.1.

Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a large meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. Most shoppers are less tempted to buy extras when they are not bothered by hunger. Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. A carefully planned list should include in-season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons. Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment. However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it’s time to leave for the store. However, no preparations are complete without a pocket calculator or a piece of paper and pencil to figure costs. Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist impulses to buy additional items. If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers resist impulse buying by using the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.1. In this passage, the author intends to state that it is advisable for a shopper to ________.（）A. eat a big meal before visiting the grocery storeB. save time by including more items on the grocery listC. find something healthy for meals in the grocery storeD. eat less than usual before going to grocery2. In the third paragraph, “grocery issue” refers to . （）A. the product on saleB. the quality of groceryC. a grocery listD. a kind of advertisement3. It can be inferred from the passage that buying through coupons .（）A. can make shoppers spend more money than usualB. is always a shopper’s wise decisionC. may be a seller’s trick to cheat customersD. is good for a store to sell out old goods4. According to the writer, at the store some shoppers .（）A. use a big grocery cart to save shopping timeB. control the costs by using baskets to hold the groceriesC. stay for a while to have a final check on the grocery listD. make the best use of time to hunt for cheaper items5. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?（）A. An Important Factor in Saving Money.B. The Best Time for Shopping.C. Grocery Sho ppers’ Guide.D. Ways to Complete a Grocery List.109. Now comes July, and with it examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boys and girls have nearly two months’ holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can spend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that makes the seaside what it is.1.

Children like the seaside so much because they can _______.（）A. swim in the seaB. play with the sandC. take a sun bathD. do all of the above110.No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes.Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.In 1533, when Catherine de Medicis left Italy to marry the future King Henry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made dessert the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite d essert“ice cream.”At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procop io’s “ice-cream parlor” became so popular that other shops were opened.About 1640, King Charles I introduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty。
