Is your family interested in buying a dog? A dog can be a pleasant companion to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog , you will have a lot of troubles.
Families should sit down and discuss the possible problems before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don’t know much about dogs, it is a good idea to go to the library for books about different kinds of dogs, and books about how to train a young dog. In reading about the different breeds(種類)you should know that a dog described(描述)as very alert(機敏靈活的)may be too active. When a book describes a dog as an excellent hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won’t be happy living in a small house. Dog breeds vary(變化)in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to control. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don’t need to be walked daily, since they can exercise in the home.
小題1:According to the passage, one can get information about different kinds of dogs      .

C．by buying a dog and training it
D．by reading books about dogs

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man’s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We sent in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信號). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, “‘Robots ’noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity(電)!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to and a rat would get out of it if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
小題1:In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man’s best friends because they can    .
A．take the place of man’s rescue jobs
B．find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C．serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings.
D．get into small spaces
小題2:In doing rescue jobs,        .
A．rats smell better than dogs
B．dogs don’t need to be trained to smell people
C．robots’ sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D．rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
小題3:Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that       .
A．they are more fantastic than other animals
B．they are less expensive to train than dogs
C．they don’t need electricity
D．they are small and can get into small places
小題4:After reading the passage we can know       .
A．a(chǎn)t present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people
B．the “rat project” has been completed
C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues

Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs , teachers find students’ posture(姿勢) and attention improve.
Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey(調(diào)查) of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.
The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs, she started Witt Fitt. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan,” says Witt, “ Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter（直的）. You can slouch(低頭垂肩地坐)on a ball,” says Witt, “but it feels bad.” Because the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen( 氧氣) to the brain , so the kids have more energy and can pay attention longer.
“Besides, they’re fun.” says Pownall.
小題1:What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will_________.
A．pay more attention to his lessonsB．be fun
C．like to move aroundD．sit up straighter
小題2:How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?
A．About four years.B．Only one year.
C．In 2008.D．Since he was a fifth-grade teacher.
小題3:In how many countries are the balls used as the students’ chairs?
A．Four.B．Three.C．Two.D．One.
小題4:Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _________.
A．improve the students’ posture and attention
B．slouch on the chairs
C．have fun
D．Both A and C are correct answers
小題5:Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?
A．Sitting on a chair.B．Sitting on a ball.
C．They are the same.D．We don’t know.

Dear editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people.They are not as polite or hard-working as my generation（一代人I will give you two examples.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seat.There were some boys sitting on the seats near me.I didn't know why they were not at school.They were talking and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise.At the next stop, a pregnant（懷孕的）woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags.I expected the boys to let them sit down.They saw the woman but they did nothing.I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats.   They did so but gave me a rude look.
Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family.I was glad to see his children, who I hadn't seen for ten years.During the dinner, I started talking about world politics with the children.It soon became clear that they didn't know much about it.They couldn't tell me the name of the King of Spain or President of Italy.All they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful.In my days, students knew the kings, the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.
I worry about the future of Germany.How could these young people become good workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age.Maybe they have too much money.Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this “l(fā)ost generation”.

As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions—like whether to cut class or try cigarettes．Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder．People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers．When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure．
Peers can have a positive influence on each other．Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system．Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it．These are examples of how peers positively influence each other．
Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways．For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball．
It is tough to be the only one who says “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it．Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do．
You’ve probably had a parent or teacher advising you to “choose your friends wisely．” Peer pressure is a big reason why they say this．If you choose friends who don’t cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably won’t do these things either, even if other kids do．
If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust．Don’t feel guilty if you’ve made a mistake or two．
小題1:For whom is the passage most probably written?
A．Students．B．Parents．C．Teachers．D．Doctors．
小題2:In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly_____．
A．explains why friendship is so important
B．gives advice on how to deal with peer pressure

D．shows how to make more good friends
小題3:Which of following may help handle peer pressure?
A．Spending more time with classmates．
B．Taking up more relaxing hobbies．
C．Choosing friends with no bad habits．
D．Helping others who are in trouble．
小題4:What is the topic of the passage?
A．Friendship．B．Making decisions

On the first day of the new term, I met my new headmaster at the school gate. “Follow me, please!” he said. He had a quiet, kind voice. He took me into my new classroom and left. In front of me, thirty pairs of eyes looked at me. I knew he had told the students that I was blind. I could almost feel the question behind their eyes: Blind? I felt the answer too: If she’s blind, this should be good! I heard quiet voices in a corner of the classroom. For a moment, I felt afraid. I knew at once that I had to be strong.
“Class,” I said as loudly as I could. “I may be blind. But I am not foolish. Take those naughty smiles off your faces, and stop talking, please!” Of course, I could not see their faces; I just guessed that some of them were smiling. The class were quiet. They were very surprised. I knew that I had done the right thing.
As the days went by, the students had more surprises. I could smell when the children were eating sweets. I could easily hear combs going through hair, students passing messages, and so on. Once I found a girl passing a message to a friend. I took the message to the teachers’ room. A teacher read it to me. On one side it said, “Do you think she can see?” on the other it said, “I think so. She always knows what we’re doing.”
Soon the students stopped being naughty, and started to work hard. Before long, they brought in photos of their families for me to look at; I knew then they were my friends. I also knew they had forgotten that I could not see.

Each child has his individual（個人的）pattern of social, as well as physical, development. Some of it depends on his home life and his relationships with the people who love him. Children in large families learn how to get along with others through normal brother- sister play and tussles （打斗）. An only child, on the other hand , may have to learn his lessons in social living through hard experiences on the playground or in the classroom. Twins who always have one another to lean on may be slow in responding to others because they do not need anyone else.
　　A child who is constantly scolded and made to feel he does everything wrong may have a difficult time developing socially. He may be so afraid of displeasing the adults around him that he keeps to himself （where he can’t get into trouble）or he may take the opposite route and go out of his way to create trouble. Like the deserted child, he too may return to infantile （幼稚的）pleasures, developing habits that will satisfy him, but create barriers（障礙）toward social contact.
小題1:Which of the following may have effect on children’s paten of social development?
A．Age.　　　　　B．EducationC．Home life.　　　D．Gender（性別）
小題2:The passage implies that which of the following may have the earliest time learning to get along with others?
A．An only child
B．A child from a large family
C．Twins
D．Children who are continually scolded
小題3:Which of the following is implied by the passage?
A．Too much scolding of children may make their social development difficult.
B．All children developed in the same ways.
C．Children who are constantly scolded may learn to get along with others quickly.
D．Deserted children often exhibit quicker social development.
小題4:We can inferred from the passage that ________.
A．continual scolding is not harmful to the child.
B．continual scolding holds back healthy social development.
C．continual scolding has no effect on obeying orders.
