dressed up, washed and dried. Here, it"s the owners who go to obedience (服从) school, and these
people pay almost a thousand US dollars a month to learn how to properly care for their pets. Dogs are
hot in Beijing, a symbol of a new middle-class family.
Dogs or pets can take the place of children, even husbands. Qin Lu, 23-year-old dog owner, certainly
thinks her dog makes some more loyal partner. She"s spending 1,300 yuan, that"s almost 200 US dollars
a month, sending her dog to the training school. Think about it, almost half her monthly salary as a
secretary.
Personally, if I have a dog, I want to give it the very best of everything. Otherwise, I wouldn"t have a
dog.
Before we get too sentimental (引起伤感情绪的), though, other dogs in China have a far more
grisly (令人毛骨悚然的) fate, many still destined for the dinner table, dog meat, a popular delicacy.
But appetities are changing. What was once for the eating is now for the treating. Beijing alone is home
to more than a million dogs. Owners spend an average 25 dollars a month on pets. Do the math. Dogs
are big business. Ning Wei who runs this obedience school on the outskirts of Beijing said. "It has been
open for almost three years. There are many dogs. And now we are opening another branch."
As their owners embrace everything western, so too, are the dogs. Ning Wei"s specializing in
producing a new breed of bilingual puppies. Yes, dogs that understand Chinese and now English. "I"m
going to do a test now to see if it understands both English and Chinese. Effectively, if its Chinese is better
than my English, and its English is better than my Chinese."

举一反三
DID Steve Jobs kill the music industry? That"s the question on many people"s lips since rock star Jon
Bon Jovi accused the apple boss of personally destroying the music industry.
Bon Jovi centers his criticism (批评) on how he believes music downloading has robbed young people
of what he calls the "beauty of buying on album", "Kids today have missed the beauty of taking your
allowance (零花钱) money and making a decision based on the Jacket, not knowing what the record
sounded like," he said.
But far from killing the industry, many young people today think Jobs has been a blessing (带来幸
运的人), offering you instant, and selective access to a whole world of music.
Keith Staskiewicz at Entertainment Weekly speaks for the feelings of many music lovers. He believes
listening to Mp3s rather than records or CDs "just saves them money" and doesn"t "eliminate (消除) the
sense of discovery they get from new music", Staskiewicz also argues that it"s wrong to blame Jobs and
Apple for destroying anything."Change is just part of the business," Staskiewicz said. "No doubt in 50
years, Justin Bieber will complain in his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech about how kids
don"t listen to iPods any more."
For now, though, it appears that music downloading is set to continue for the near future. According
to Summer Redstone, chairman of media company Viacom, iTunes has "resurrected (复兴) the music
industry by creating a legal, affordable purchasing system for fans".
But recent surveys suggested that, despite the "legalizing" of music downloading via sites like iTunes,
young people are still choosing to download music illegally.A report by Jupiter Research suggested that
illegal downloading sites are used three times as much as legal ones.
The problem, according to its analyst Mark Mulligan, is how today"s youth grow up viewing music as
something they can get for free. "Unless the music industry can shift these consumers (消费者) while they
are young away from free consumption to paid music formats (格式),they may never develop music
purchasing behavior," warned Mulligan " recording industry could suffer long-term harm."
B. children today prefer music downloading to buying albums
C. children today do not like to discover new music
D. children don"t care what a record sounds like
B cover
C skin
D peel
B. Steve Jobs and Apple are partly to blame for destroying the music industry.
C. There are surely more ways to enjoy music than on iPods.
D. Music downloading has its advantages and is a change that should be accepted.
B. ban the illegal music downloading sites on the Internet
C. help young consumers get used to paying for music
D. offer young consumers instant and selective access to a variety of music
B. Opinions on effects of music downloading.
C. How to fight illegal music downloading.
D. Criticism of free downloading of music by young people.
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。
The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school
in the same building. 1 In the afternoon, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and
if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (拥抱). There are trips
out and birthday parties too.
2 The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well
because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents
are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the
children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.
3 There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for
grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old
people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along
with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. 4
That"s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are
growing in popularity all over the world. 5 Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one
obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with
children who need extra attention.
A. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned.
B. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world.
C. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young.
D. However, there are some similarities between the old and the young
E. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities.
F. No previous experience can we use to communicate between them.
G. It"s a major problem in many societies.
these advertisements are short plays with actors. The following television advertisement is like many
others that Americans see daily.
We see a man and his wife at the breakfast table. They have been married for a long time. They are
not speaking to each other. They haven"t spoken to each other at the breakfast table for years. The
husband is reading his newspaper. We can"t see his face. The wife looks very bored as she pours a cup
of coffee for him. Today, she is using a new kind of coffee for the first time. The husband picks up his
cup. He isn"t very interested. He tastes his coffee. Suddenly he puts down his newspaper. Something is
different! Can it be the coffee? He takes another taste. It"s wonderful! He smiles. He looks at his wife
and says in amazement,
"Doris, when did you cut your hair?"
Doris is pleased. She answers, "Two months ago."
Doris asks, "Herbie, when did your hair begin to turn gray?"
He replies, "A long time ago."

Banff Gondola for a surprising view of the valley below .Here is The Pines ,whose cook has developed a
special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou ,wild boar ,and reindeer with surprising sauces .
Best time to visit is during the off-season ,from early May to mid-June ,or in October .This way you
can avoid sharing the high way with mobile (移动的) homes which can be pulled by cars .But whatever
the season ,take some lunch with you from Banff ,because there are only a few food stops on the road.
Forty minutes north of Banff ,side by side with the Banff National Park ,sits world-famous Lake Louise .This surprisingly small body of water is attractive with towering mountains around it .Glaciers , huge
masses of ice ,moving very slowly against rocks ,produce what is called glacier rock flour ,making its
water dark to see .It is worth taking a walk around the grounds of the Chateau Lake Louise ,another
beauty ,proud of its early 20th century history.
Back on the road , and it"s time to continue north past the astonishing Columbia Icefield ,then turn off
the highway and take the short road to the base of the Athabaska Glacier .You can rent ice cleats (夹板)
and do some climbing or do a more pleasant snowmobile tour .Either way ,you can enjoy endless beautiful sights.
Finally you"ll reach Jasper ,the usual turning around the place for the Banff-Jasper loop (回路). It"s
worth riding the Jasper Skytram ,and be sure to visit the wonderful Jasper Park Lodge ,also dating back
to the 1920s.If you can have lunch there ,do it .The restaurant has an adventurous menu and their wine
list would put a smile on any visitor"s face.
