During summer vacations,I would volunteer at the vet's (獸醫(yī)診所) ，so I'd seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen. Curly hair hardly covered her sausage-shaped (臘腸形的) body. Her big eyes always looked surprised. And her tail looked like a rat's.
She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep because her owners didn't want her anymore. “No one should judge her by her looks”’ I thought. So instead of putting her to sleep,the vet and I gave her the chance to be adopted by someone else. I advertised Minnie in the local paper “ Funny-looking dog,well behaved,needs a loving family. ”
When a young man called,I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather's 16-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive.
At last,an old car drove up in front of the vet's. Two kids ran to the door. They took Minnie to their grandfather,who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反應(yīng)) to Minnie.
The grandfather carried Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. She licked his face. It was love at first lick.
“She's perfect!” the old man said excitedly.
I was thankful that Minnie had found the good home that she deserved (應(yīng)得) .That's when I saw that the grandfather's eyes were a milky white color— he was blind.
1. From Paragraph 2 ,we know that Minnie .
A. didn't like people
B. was scared of people
C. was probably disliked by her owners
D. was the most beautiful dog at the vet's
2. How did the vet deal with Minnie?

D. The vet decided to sell Minnie.
3. The underlined word “ adopted” means “ ”.
A. 收養(yǎng) B. 安樂死
C. 購買 D. 治療
4. According to the story,which of the following is TRUE?
A. The author knew how the new owner would react.
B. Minnie became perfect in the end.
C. The two kids loved Minnie very much.
D. The grandfather showed great love for Minnie.
5. What can we learn from the story?
A. It's hard for the blind to tell good from bad.
B. It's best to judge things by their appearance.
C. It's sad that the blind live in the dark.
D. Blindness can't stop one's kindness.
同樣的事物在不同人眼里也價值各異。每一件事物都 有其存在的價值，如果一時沒有體現(xiàn)出來，也許并不是事物 本身的問題，而是時機還沒有到來。比如有著奇怪長相的狗 狗Mirniie ,找到了適合自己的主人，命運開始轉(zhuǎn)變。
1. C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段對Minnie外貌的描述，可知這 是一只長相奇怪的狗，再根據(jù)第二段“She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep because her owners didn't want her anymore."可推測，Minnie的主人可能不喜歡它。
2_ B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“…the vet and I gave her the chance to be adopted by someone else. ” 可知，獸醫(yī)想為 Minnie找一個新主人。
3. A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本段尾句“Funny-looking dog,well behaved,needs a loving family. ”可知，作者和獸醫(yī)希望 可以為Minnie找到被“收養(yǎng)”的機會。
4. D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“ The grandfather carried Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair."這位爺爺 把Minnie放到懷里，輕輕地撫摸著它的毛發(fā)，可推測 爺爺喜歡Minnie。
5. D主旨大意題。本文通過一只遭到遺棄的狗得到一位眼睛失明老人的愛，闡述了“失明并不能阻止一個人的善 良”的道理。

Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不費心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.
People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think： is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?
1. When we take photos,we .
A. fail to focus on the event itself
B. can't record the details
C. remember what we have seen
D. are likely to have a poor memory
2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.
A. 支持 B. 撫養(yǎng)
C. 增強 D. 減弱
3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.
C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.
D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.
4. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. The entrance of a museum.
B. A scientific report.
