Zealand children from an attack by two pit bulls. The medal from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ( SPCA ) comes after former US Marine Jerrell Hudman said he was sending his Purple Heart medal to George"s owner after hearing of the dog"s bravery.
Feisty, 30cm tall George, who had a heart problem, fought with the pit bulls to keep them from
attacking the youngest of five children as they returned home from buying sweets at a neighborhood shop
in the small North Island town of Manaia on April 29.
The Jack Russell was badly injured in the fight. "It was an extraordinary act of heroism" said the
animal protection society"s chief executive, Robyn Kippenberger. Authorities have killed the two pit bulls,
and their owner faces prosecution for owning dangerous and unconotrolled dogs.
Kippenberger said her group"s award, the SPCA medal, normally given to humans for bravery in
aiding animals, has not been awarded to a dog since 1990. The two previous dog winners were trained
police dogs. "That he weighed into a couple of dogs much larger than himself, clearly to protect a child, is
just a most amazing act and needs to be recognized," she told The Associated Press. The bravery medal
will be presented to George"s owner at the children"s school.
Meanwhile, former US marine Jerrell Hudman told the local Taranaki Herald newspaper that he
would honor the terrier"s bravery by mailing to New Zealand one of the three Purple Heart medals he
was awarded for service in Vietnam in 1967. Purple Hearts are given to US troops wounded or killed in
battles. Hudman 58, of Austin, Texas, described George as a "little warrior" who deserved the honor.
1. How many medals were given to George for his bravery act?

C. Three
D. Four
2. What"s true about the two pit bulls?
A.Their owner has killed them because of prosecution.
B.They were honored with a bravery medal.
C.They are dangerous and uncontrolled
D.They saved five children against an attack.
3. The bravery medal is usually given to ______.
A.whoever defends animals bravely
B.people who train police dogs successfully
C.those who protect children during their daily life
D.solider wounded or killed in the battle
4. The text mainly wants to tell us ______.

sank. He was out of the shipping lanes and floating in a life raft, alone. His supplies were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive.
His account of how he survived is fascinating. But the thing that caught my eye was how he managed
to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost. Giving up would have seemed the only wise option.
When people survive these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them
the courage to keep going. Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad.
"I tell myself I can handle it," wrote Callahan. "Compared to what others have been through, I"m
fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, building up fortitude(坚强意志)…."
It struck me as something important. And I"ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed
far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming. And every time I"ve said it, I have always come
back to my senses.
The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been
through much worse. So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us
strength. Whatever you"re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots with a little more fortitude.
1. The writer seemed more interested in ______.
A. something that made Steven Callahan want to cross the Atlantic
B. What made Steven Callahan live through the circumstances

A. the state of mind means one"s life or death
B. keeping up one"s spirit is especially easy for one
C. most people have good physiological quality
D. bad conditions can strengthen one"s will
3. How did Steven Callahan build up his confidence in difficulty?
A. By comparing himself with others.
B. By trying over and over again to call help.
C. By encouraging himself once and again.
D. By trying out different ways of how to survive.
4. What did the writer get from the experience of Steven Callahan?
A .One shouldn"t lose heart when in difficulty.
B. Encouragement comes from one"s behaviors.

| I was 13 years old. My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before. I hit adolescence with a vengeance. I was angry and rebellious, with little regard for anything my parents had to say, particularly if it had to do with me. Like so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from anything that didn"t agree with my picture of the world. A "brilliant without need of guidance" kid, I rejected any overt offering of love. In fact, I got angry at the mention of the word love. One night, after a particularly difficult day, I _____________, shut the door and got into bed. As I lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope it said, "To read when you"re alone." Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. It said "Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don"t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk, and if you don"t, that"s okay. Just know that no matter where you go or what you do in your life, I will always love you and be proud that you are my son. I"m here for you and I love you - that will never change. Love, Mom. That was the first of several "To read when you"re alone" letters. They were never mentioned until I was an adult. Today I travel the world helping people. I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar when, at the end of the day, a lady came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out to the beach, and I told her of my mom"s undying love and about the "To read when you"re alone" letters. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son. That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every time I got a letter. In the midst of my turbulent teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I could be loved in spite of me, not because of me. Just before I fell asleep I thanked God that my mom knew what I, an angry teenager, needed. Today when the seas of life get stormy, I know that just under my pillow there is that calm assurance that love - consistent, abiding, unconditional love - changes lives. 1. The passage is mainly about _______. A. communication between parents and children. B. the childhood of the writer C. parents" devotion to their children D. the lesson the writer got from the letter. 2. We can inferred that the boy used to be ________ A. friendly B. rebellious C. easy-going D. considerate 3. The best phrase for the blank may be _____________ A. I went into my door B. I run into my door C. I slipped into my door D. I stormed into my door 4. We can learn from the passage except that____________ A. The letter changed the author a lot B. Children should be encouraged to be what he is C. The mother"s concern moved the author greatly D. We children should communicate with our parents pften | |||

| When Alexandra Holderman of Indiana was five years old, she saw a bay dressed in only a T-shirt, diaper(尿布), and blanket in the middle of winter. Alexandra could tell that the baby was very cold. "He had red, chapped(皲裂) skin and a runny nose," she remembers. That same year, Alexandra started Baby Bundles (包裹), a program to help mothers keep their babies warm. She packed bundles of pajamas, blankets, diapers, bottles and bibs, and then delivered them to centers for women who couldn"t afford the items. Alexandra continues this program today. Where does Alexandra get the money for her program? The first year, family members helped a lot. Many of them gave Alexandra money to buy supplies. Alexandra"s mother, who has always encouraged Alexandra to share her blessings with people who are less fortunate, taught her how to request donations from stores. Alexandra felt shy speaking with stores" business managers at first. "But now it just comes naturally," she says, "and I have places that donate stuff every year." Alexandra has been doing Baby Bundles for six years now. Each September she writes betters to stores asking for supplies and donations. Then she makes follow-up phone calls. In October, she gathers all of the donations and goes shopping. One of the biggest challenges is getting all of the supplies she needs while staying within a planned budget. Alexandra has had to give up her allowance and some time with friends, but she knows that what she"s doing helps. Sometimes she sees a baby wearing clothes like the ones she put in her bundles. And she wonders if that baby was helped by her program. "I know that there are babies out there who are warmer and healthier now," she says. Alexandra plans to continue Baby Bundles as long as she can and is currently trying to get a Web site set up. She hopes that her work will inspire other young people to find ways to serve their communities. Alexandra has made sure that many babies in Indiana remain cozy during the winter months. 1. The following things except ________ may be included in Alexandra"s Baby Bundles. A. baby clothes B. diapers C. baby caps D. money 2. What do you think mainly helps her program to continue? A.

She finds it challenging to get all of the supplies she needs with limited money. B. Now, Alexandra is only 11years old.
