work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don"t seem to mind Allen," says Brigitte, who thinks he is
wonderful. "He is my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food,
paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allen is a dog.
Brigitle and Allen live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according
to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of
care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so they aren"t surprised to find that owning a dog means more
taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Sweden kronor (克朗) in taxes a year for the right to keep
their dogs, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a
dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even
life insurance (保险) for their dogs.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dogs do. A Swedish kennel (宠物园) club official
explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car, you, as the owner,
have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
B. he is her child
C. he follows her everywhere
D. he often falls ill
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people should pay a lot for their dogs
B. The owner of the dog.

D. The government.
B. Allen.
C. Anderson.

Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to
accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time,and decide the most important ones. Include things you want
to accomplish. Focus mostly on the things that are important to you.
2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you.try to keep cool. Stressing out
can lead to an early break-down,which is definitely counter-productive when you have a list of things to do.
It"s easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than to work all week with stress.
3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut
to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done done.
4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration, and it will take
you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say "no". If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don"t have the time to help out, just say
"no". You"re only one person, and you can"t save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the
point and you"ll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don"t set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your
best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.
8. Relax. The most important thing is to remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break
every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it"s a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and
get refreshed.
As families today get busier and busier, it"s important to your own mental health to keep things on track.
Don"t delay; get your life in order now.
never having seen any record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as
horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus
ignorant (不知情的). I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom
come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or autumntime. A lack of information concerning
my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages,
but I could not tell. Why the same right ought to be taken away from me! I was not allowed to ask my master
about it. He considered all such questions on the part of a slave improper and impolite. The nearest estimate
(估计) I can live makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from
hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named
Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.
My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the
correctness of this opinion, I know nothing and I have no means to know. My mother and I were separated
when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland
from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child
has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it,and hired out on some farm a considerable distance
off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor.
B. the writer didn"t know whether his master was his father
C. the writer was about twenty-seven years old in 1835
D. the writer"s mother left him as soon as he was born
B. my age
C. a record
D. Maryland
B. was light-skinned
C. had several children
D. was sent to work elsewhere
B. by an old woman slave
C. with his master"s support
D. together with other children
B. Unhappy.
C. Astonished.
D. Ashamed.

| Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two. ●Walk it off Exercise is the most popular way to remove bad mood. A person who"s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood. ●Tune it out Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make ten- sions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we"ve had. ●Give yourself a pep talk Stop and listen to what"s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, including the pessimistic messages you"ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. ●Avoid things that won"t improve your mood TV may not help much you need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind.

| It"s perfectly normal for young children to suddenly decide they hate everything-even foods they loved yesterday. It"s also common for them to go on what experts call food jags-that is, they want to eat the same few foods over and over again at every meal, while turning up their noses at anything new. "It"s a fear of new things," says Nancy, Hudson, a researcher in University of California, Berkeley. "We think it"s one of those quirks (怪癖) that humans probably developed to protect themselves as mankind came into this world. You don"t try new things because you don"t know if they"re safe." Children like familiar things, whether they"re their beds or their aftemoon tea,so most kids won"t try new foods until they"ve been shown to them many times. Picky (挑剔的) eating can also be a child"s way of showing his independence. This is why forcing a child to eat often makes things worse. Finally, it may seem like your child cannot sit still long enough to eat very much at one sitting because of his short attention. But children are generally good at getting what they need, even if it doesn"t seem like much to you. In any case, you can try to keep your child at the table longer by making mealtime as calm and regular as possible, without too many distractions (分心的事物) like toys, TV, or pets. | |||
