阅读理解。     Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spoil
your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively (过分地), fight other dogs and even bite you.
Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or
are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach
the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
     One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it.
Obedience training doesn"t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any
problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication
is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
     Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request
of "come here, and sit", it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish
yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack (群)by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog
its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission (服从)to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accepts that you are in charge.
     Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make
living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a
greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. The author wrote the passage in order to       . A. teach people on how to train the dog
B. remind people to give their dogs some proper training
C. warn people to avoid the wild dogs
D. tell the differences between well-trained dogs and untrained ones2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Obedience training can make your dog obey your orders.
B. You should use effective methods to train your dogs.
C. Obedience training is essential to the dogs though it can"t solve all behavior problems.
D. Effective communication is a must for your dogs. 3. A well-trained dog      . A. accepts that you are in charge and shows obedience and respect for you
B. can understand whatever you want it to do
C. can make you more confident
D. will affect your social relationship4. The author explains his idea mainly by     . A. giving examples

阅读理解。     For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear
winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries:
Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
    Both sides want peace,  but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because
neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it .From the parents" point of view, the only cause
of their fight is their adolescents" complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly
the same way, except oppositely.
Both feel trapped.
    In this article, I"ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents
and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.
Examples include the color of the teen"s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of
clothing ,the child"s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on
the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad
attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn" t matter whether
the topic is politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg ;the point of these arguments
is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an
authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as
long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they"ll continue to fight
these battles forever and never make any real progress.1.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?A. Both can continue for generations.    
B. Both are about where to draw the line. 
C. Neither has any clear winner.        
D. Neither can be put to an end.2. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens cause their parents of misleading them.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.3. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to_________.A. give orders to the other            
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other          
D. get the other to behave properly4. what will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B. Examples of the parent-teen war
C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.

阅读理解。      When she graduates from Columbia University next year with a master"s degree in Public
health, Eric Wheeler is hoping to get a job in international reproductive(生殖) health. The
26-year-old post-graduate has always wanted to work in public service. But public service
doesn"t pay much, and her two-year program at Columbia costs about $50,000 a year with
living expenses. She has a scholarship from Columbia that covers just $4,000 a year and has
taken out loans to pay for the rest. She worries that she will spend years paying back her student
loans and not have money left over to put away in an IRA. Wheeler is wondering what she can
do to ease the pain of  being in debt. Is there anything she can do to handle the debt?
      The good news is that in 2007, Congress recognized that there were so many students in
Wheeler"s position that it passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. There were two
programs established by this act that Wheeler should look into.
     The first is the income-based repayment plan, which allows lower-income graduates with a
lot of debt to reduce their monthly payments. Depending on a graduate"s income and level of
debt, the program, which goes into effect July 1, could limit his or her annual educational loan
debt repayment to 15 percent of discretionary income(可随意支配的收入),said Peter Mazareas,
vice charman of the College Saving Foundation.
     The second is the public service loan forgiveness plan, in which the federal government will
forgive the remaining debt of borrowers who make 10-year loan payment while working full time
in public-service jobs. But the graduate must have a certain loan which is listed in the plan.
Depending on the level of debt Wheeler ends up with and how much she repays over 10 years,
Mazareas said she could end up with about $75,000 of her debt forgiven. " Tipically, it is projected
that a borrower who performs public service under this program will repay only about one-fourth
to one-half as much money as a borrower who does not", he said. He also pointed out that public
service is broadly defined and includes any government and nonprofit organization job.1. How much debt will Erin Wheeler be probably in when she graduate?A. $ 8,000    
B.$ 50,000      
C. $75,000      
D. $92,0002. Which of the following is true about the College Reduction and Access Act?A. The programs in the act take effect in 2008.
B.The act aims to help college students who are in debt.
C.There are two helpful programs in the act.
D. The graduates who work in public service benefit the most.3. How can people benefit from the first plan mentioned in the passage?  A. The interest of the debt will be lowered.
B. The total amount of debt could be reduced.
C. The income tax will be cut down.
D.People will have more time to pay back the debt.4. Why does the author say Erin wheeler should look into the second plan in the act?A. Because she will be heavily in debt upon graduation.
B.Because she will have a master degree.
C. Because she plans to work in public service.
D. Because she has borrowed money from the federal government.5. What"s the main idea of the passage?A. The total expense in American universities is too high.
B. There are a lot of different programs to help students pay their tution.
C. The US government encourages students to choose public service jobs.
D.The federal government is trying to relieve graduates from heavy debt.

阅读理解。     Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more more besides. following the rules...planning
your next move ...acting as a team member...these are all "game" ideas that you will come across
throughout your life.
     Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and
hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life
into exciting dramas
that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow in the rest
of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating(合作).
     Many children"s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them
for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, sine Saudui Arabian children play a game called bones ,which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting .
     Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games,
bring athletes from around the word together to take part in friendly competitions, People who watch the
event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earns
it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
     Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on
all continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player,
has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children
with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

the last six years in order to stay the web"s number one communication site.

account. Another survey showed that Face book was almost as important as an iPod. At the end of
2005 Face book came to the UK. And up to today the site has been translated into 35 languages.
      Six years after its start, Face book has escaped the universities and colleges. More than half of its
users are not at college any more and the fastest growing group are the 30 to 40-year-olds. Every day
15 million users update their profiles to tell their friends and the world what"s happening to them. They

阅读理解。     In a recently published book , I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone
diagrams , lotus flowers and clustering . As I used these exercises in my classes , I noticed that students
were interested . They said more and wrote more . They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them
in groups .They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson . I find
that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency (流利程度).
     Creativity has become a popular word in recent years . Scholars in the arts ,psychology (心理学),
business , education , and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it . Robert J.
Sternberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as "the ability
to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation)". This definition
is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly.
Most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big "C" creativity and small "c" creativity. Big "C"
creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs.
Small "c" creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on
the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or
Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways .1.The underlined words "waiting for the bell" in the first paragraph probably mean        .A. longing for a phone call

C. expecting the end of the class
D. wanting to speak in class 2. It can be inferred from the passage that the author thought the exercises in the book were  ____ .

A. popular
