“ Yeah！ Auntie is here! “ screamed my husband’s niece and nephew together. “ Let me get the door!” “ No, let me !” Each one’s goal was to get there first and open the door for their Auntie, Me!
I couldn’t get enough of them, of their youthful love of life, and their excitement every time I visited! To be honest, it was partially because of the Surprise Travel Bag that I carried in. It was a tradition that I started when they were young. Each time I went to see them, I would take a large bag filled with toys, coloring books, candy, magic markers and “games”.
The contents(內(nèi)容) were different but the rules were not. They included: one may get a turn to choose what activity we would do; another may take a turn to go first when we played a game; ..... We shared the treats after the games and cleaned up after we played . Then, sadly, they watched the Surprise Travel Bag go away with their Auntie.
Now my niece and nephew have grown into young adults. They spend most of their visits listening to their iPods, messaging on their phones.... I completely forgot that I had put my two Surprise Travel Bags in the basement(地下室) until my husband found them this weekend.
I held the bags tightly in my arms, remembering our laughter and fun-filled get-togethers. My big decision now is to whom I will pass the Surprise Travel Bags so that the fun that the bags help to create can continue.

Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior­chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don't feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.

Betta fish
They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner's presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.
 
Chinchillas
Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can't get pests such as fleas(跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glace at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.
Land hermit crabs
 
In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty？”， land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don't cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.

Red­eared sliders
If you're interested in a lifelong friend, a red­eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red­eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (曬太陽) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.
小題1:All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are ________.
A．a(chǎn)ctive and allergic　　　B．quiet and peaceful
C．colorful and tastyD．small and smelly
小題2:Which of the following is NOT true about these creatures?
A．Bettas are active and rich in colors.
B．Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.
C．Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.
D．Red­eared sliders need more care from the owner.
小題3:If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you'd better choose ________.
A．Betta fishB．Chinchillas
C．Land hermit crabsD．Red­eared sliders
小題4:The text is mainly to ________.
A．introduce the best way to keep pets
B．offer useful tips for choosing pets
C．inform students of lifestyle of pets
D．recommend some dormitory pets

People on a college campus were more likely to give money to the March of Dimes if they were asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another        , subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble（絆腳） and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his      ; sometimes he did not. In this situation, the victim was more likely to         aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In         these and other research findings, two themes are         : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think     assistance.
In some situations, those who are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid.       , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be        , but had apparently been "lost". The photo attached to the application was sometimes that of a very          person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to        the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
The degree of      between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n)           T-shirt than a person wearing a T-shirt printed with offensive words.
Whether a person receives help depends in part on the "worth" of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone.        to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more essential for        than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be         rather than drunk.

Dogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be trained to help people with dementia．The idea developed by some university students will now be put into practice by Scotland Medical Center．The research is meaningful, for there are 670, 000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．
Dementia can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day．
Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine．M For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine, "but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there's a greater chance of them taking it．"
Ms．Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat．"Dogs have an ability to say 'it's my feeding time^, so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dog's food reminding the dog's owner to eat too．"
The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks．"It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community," Ms．Gray said, "We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own．Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk．That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact．We hope we'd see this with people with dementia too．"
There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions．Since conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms．Gray said, "We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．People light up when they see animals．There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner．w
小題1:What's the common symptom of dementia?
A．Going hungry．B．Feeling lonely．
C．Forgetting things．D．Waking up at night．
小題2:According to Ms．Gray, after feeding the pet, the owner may ______．
A．do some washingB．take his medicine
C．have something to eatD．go out to walk the dog
小題3:For people with dementia, pets can ______．
A．give them wordless help
B．contribute to their recovery
C．help them to recognize people's faces
D．ensure them to gain support from other people
小題4:What's the best title for the passage?
A．Guide Dogs for the Mind
B．Pets, Faithful Companions

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame(責(zé)備) the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation（一代人）） of grown-ups who don’t often cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will probably choose sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
小題1:According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A．Those who often take exercise.
B．Those who often watch television
C．Those who often have meals at home.
D．Those who often walk to school.
小題2:The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _______.
A．their parents often cook meals for them.
B．they are too busy to go out and play.
C．they can't choose what to eat.
D．there are too many fast food shops around.
小題3:The underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably means ____.
A．forcingB．guidingC．drivingD．moving
小題4:According to the author, which of the following is WRONG?
A．We should encourage children to be more active.
B．Children ought to keep away from fast food shops.
C．Parents needn't cook meals for their children.
D．Parents should help their children form a good eating habit.
小題5:The main purpose of the text is to _______.
A．tell a storyB．provide factsC．give adviceD．compare opinions

People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarket? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles (走道) between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
You probably hear soft, slow music as you walk along the aisles. This may be an attempt to please you, so you will enjoy shopping. Some supermarkets want to increase their profits by playing soft and slow music, because the slow music makes you walk slowly and you have more time to buy things.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are usually put near the entrance. When you arrive at the supermarket, you think about the kinds of fruit and vegetables you need first. Once you’ve got that out of the way, you can relax and do the rest of the shopping without any hurry. Besides, if you see fresh goods first, it gives you a “feel good” impression of freshness, so you can not help spending your money.
Maybe you go to the meat department then. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the other end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk past all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
Most of the food in supermarkets is very attractive. It all says “Buy me quickly!” to the customers. The fresh fruit and vegetables say “Buy me quickly!” as you walk by. The expensive meat says “Buy me quickly!” The supermarket tells you what to buy.
小題1:Some supermarkets play soft, slow music because it ______.
A．makes customers walk slowly and buy more
B．can help customers get the things they want
C．can make customers relaxed and happy
D．can tell customers exactly where to go
小題2:The manager knows ______.
A．where customers come from
B．which customers like slow music
C．where fresh meat should be put
D．which customers like cheap meat
小題3:When walking past the expensive meat, the customers will ______.
A．pay no attention to itB．possibly buy some
C．look for some cheap meatD．feel uncomfortable
小題4:If you see fresh goods first in the supermarket, ______.
A．you know where to get things
B．it brings you good luck
C．it makes you spend less money
D．you’ll get a fresh impression
小題5:Supermarket managers make the food attractive so that ______.
A．the customers will buy moreB．it looks very expensive
C．the customers come oftenD．it seems cheap and fine
