The dog has long been called man's best friend. It is a comment that is often based on the dog's behavior: its loyalty (忠诚), love, and ability to please. Pet owners like Sharon Reid of Grand Rapids, Michigan, says she's experienced such things first-hand. "After my husband passed away, my dog was the most dependable one in my life to help me through the difficult months that followed."
Among the most widely understood and accepted health benefits (好处) of pet ownership are that pets provide better dealing methods for stress and encourage greater compassion (同情), and that their companionship can protect people from suffering from loneliness. These benefits are found in a recent survey from the American Psychiatric Association, which showed that 86 percent of owners feel their pets have a mostly positive influence on their mental (精神的) health, and that some 90 percent consider the animal to be a member of the family.
But understanding the degree to which pets do good to the mental health and well-being of their owners is a matter of some debate among researchers. While most of them agree that certain benefits are well recognized, others may not be as based on scientific evidence as some believe.
Among the recognized benefits is that pet-owner interaction can improve one's quality of life. Research shows that playing with a dog can improve one's feelings, that reading to a pet can help children with learning development issues, that pets can lessen the levels of stress of their owners, and that having a pet can increase one's bodily activity levels.
Pet ownership has also been shown to help a wide variety of people, including some dealing with specific mental health conditions. It's also worth noting that some older adults may gain benefits from pet ownership. "The comfort from having pets is especially important for those who have fewer close relationships with friends and family, such as older adults," says Rodriguez, a professor of human-animal interaction.
(1)、Why does the author mention Sharon Reid in paragraph 1?A、To make a comparison. B、To give an example. C、To present a new finding. D、To comment on experts' opinion.(2)、What can we know from the recent study?A、Pet owners all treat pets as family members. B、Some benefits of pet ownership are uncertain. C、Many people suffer from stress and loneliness. D、Pets can help improve owners' mental health.(3)、What does Rodriguez probably think of pet ownership?A、It benefits the disabled. B、It helps all kinds of people. C、It increases one's bodily activity levels. D、It does good to the well-being of the elderly.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Reasons for petting a dog. B、Feelings of pet owners. C、Advantages of pet ownership. D、Interactions between pets and owners. -

Watching the young, 21-year-old Jordan Spieth win the US Masters today, I could not help but think of the great qualities he showed to win the most famous golf event on the calendar against the greatest players in the world.
Jordan Spieth has learned to keep himself in check. There is a great proverb: A fool shares all his or her feelings while a wise man keeps them in check. As I watched Spieth playing, I noticed a constant calm around him. Whether he hit the shot he wanted or not, he was the same and kept his emotions steady and strong. He never blamed the crowd, clubs (球棍) or wind.
He knows which club he is going to drive with on every hole; he knows which side of the fairway (高尔夫球道) to land and exactly where he wants to be standing on every green when he is putting: he has played it through his minds for months. He is the person who makes things happen by planning in advance because he knows winning is a product of months and years of planning.
If there is an event that every golfer dreams of winning, it's the US Masters. Spieth failed in 2014, getting so close to winning but coming second. As good as second was, he only wanted to be first. As a great person once said, "While you're green, you're growing, when you're brown, you're dying." He stays green. He is always reading, learning, and he understands that the greatest teacher of all is failure.
(1)、What can we know about the US Masters?A、The US Masters attracts every American. B、Jordan Spieth won the first in 2014 US Masters. C、Not all the golf players want to win the US Masters. D、Jordan Spieth meets many strong competitors in the US Masters.(2)、Which of the following is NOT a quality Jordan Spieth has?A、He is constantly calm B、He is good at planning. C、He is well informed D、He is skillful in learning.(3)、How does the author convey his ideas in Paragraph 3?A、By offering examples. B、By explaining cause and effect. C、By making contrasts. D、By making predictions.(4)、Where is the text probably from?A、An English textbook. B、A fan's blog. C、An athlete's autobiography. D、A sports magazine. -

Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn't have Wi - Fi. I wasn't looking forward to it.
I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi - Fi was easier than I expected.
Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn't enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.
I didn't, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi - Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think, though, how unnecessary it can be, how unnecessarily we rely on it - how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn't necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi - Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.
(1)、What was the writer's first feeling when finding her house had no Wi - Fi?A、Unexpected. B、Angry. C、Shocked. D、Hopeful.(2)、How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi - Fi?A、By writing regularly. B、By text message. C、By video calls. D、By telegram.(3)、What was the writer's life like without Wi - Fi?A、Boring. B、Lonely. C、Active. D、Relaxing.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、A life without Wi – Fi B、Different views on the Internet C、The disadvantages of Wi – Fi D、How to use the Internet properly -

Whether you're taking a trip alone or with your family, it's easier to get sick when you're in a new place because your body hasn't had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air there. Read the following tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.
Safe foods and drinks
What foods are safe to eat? Foods that have been boiled are generally safe, as well as fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Avoid eating uncooked or undercooked meat.
Stay away from foods that require a lot of handling before serving.
Drink only bottled water when travelling. If you have to use the tap water, you should boil it first.
You can take it with you
When you're packing, taking some painkiller and diarrhea (腹泻) medicine is a good idea. It's also a good idea to pack some allergy (过敏) medicine even if you don't take it at home, because people sometimes unexpectedly develop allergic reactions in a new environment.
Make a travel journal
Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information: your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent's daytime phone number, your blood type, a list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS; type a list of current medicines you are taking; type a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent.
It also helps if you have some basic first-aid medical knowledge, not only for yourself but also for helping others you may be travelling with. A great way to prepare for your trip is to take a first-aid or basic life support course before you go; if you're travelling with a group, you should know where the first-aid kit is and what's in it.
(1)、The underlined word in Para. 1 means ____.A、得到 B、适应 C、采用 D、纠正(2)、According to the passage before you travel you'd better write the phone number of the following EXCEPT ____.A、your own B、one of your parents C、one of your relatives D、one of your friends(3)、Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A、Taking a first-aid course. B、Writing down your blood type. C、Telling your parents your plan. D、Taking some necessary medicine. -
5、 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
"I'm going to miss you so much, Poppy," said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions(情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. "I guess this is it," he said. "I'll see you back home in a month, okay?" His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy's mother turned to the dog, "Okay, Poppy, time to go back home."
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn't seem interested in her dinner, her favourite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn't.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn't her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. "What should we do to cheer Poppy up?" asked Dad. "We've tried everything."
"I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy," smiled Mom. "Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let's get a little dog for Poppy."
It didn't take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging(摆动)ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.
注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
Paragraph 1
Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.
Paragraph 2
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from the university.

How to Set Goals
Whether you have small dreams or high expectations, setting goals allows you to plan how you want to move through life.
Find out your life goals. Ask yourself some important questions about what you want for your life. What do you want to achieve today, in a year, and in your lifetime? The answers to this question can be as general as "I want to be happy" or "I want to help people".
Set specific (具体的) goals. Be specific and realistic about what it is that you want to achieve. Research shows that setting a specific goal makes you more likely to achieve it. For example, "Be healthier" is too big and vague to be a helpful goal. "I want to eat more vegetables, and I want to run a marathon" is better.
Write out your goals. Be detailed be clear, and include your steps. Keep your list in a place where you can get informed frequently. This will help keep you motivated.
You may find yourself set in your ways concerning broad life goals, but take the time to reevaluate your smaller goals. Are you accomplishing them according to your timeline? Are they still necessary to keep you on track towards your larger life goals? Allow yourself the flexibility (灵活性) to make some small changes to your goals.
A. Adjust your goals.
B. Track and measure your progress.
C. Having a plan will help push you ahead.
D. Writing them down tends to make them a little more real.
E. Here are some important ideas that you may find helpful.
F. Consider what you hope to achieve in 10, 15, or 20 years.
G. Remember that you may need to break large goals into smaller goals.

Have you heard of shikumen houses (石库门) in Shanghai? It is a type of architecture that combines Western culture and traditional Chinese residential characteristics. It uses stone as door frames (门框) and solid wood in black lacquer (漆) as door leaves (门扇).Over the past 100 years,many significant historical events have been seen in shikumen houses, such as the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 1921.

The students even created a series of WeChat stickers of Kuku and Tiantian, which now have been used by more than 10,000 people.
