After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(压垮) with the responsibilities(责任) of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.
I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦诚地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（紧迫的） liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.
Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.
Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.
小题1:How long did the German shepherd stay with the family every week?

A．One day.	B．Two days.
C．Three days.	D．Four days.

小题2:What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?

A．trying to keep calm in public

B．The writer felt safe and protected with German around.

C．The dog stayed until the writer was strong enough to go on alone.

D．The writer was too busy that weekend to go find the dog’s owner.

小题5:Which is the best title for the passage?

C．How to keep a dog	D．Keep up when in trouble

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述的是作者在丈夫去世后，感到生活压力很大，她有六个孩子需要照顾。每到周末作者和孩子们单独在一起的时候，心里总是感到不安。幸好有一只牧羊犬来到了作者的家里，它总是周五晚上来，周一早上离开。在有牧羊犬做伴的日子里，作者感受到了安全，慢慢地变得有勇气。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文中One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd可知，在周五的晚上，作者发现了这只德国牧羊犬；再根据Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back可知，在周一的早上，那只牧羊犬离开了。故是和他们呆了两天的时间。故选B。
小题2:词义猜测题。根据划线的短语所在的句子和上文的文意可知，作者的丈夫去世了，她有六个孩子要照顾。她被压垮了，她要谋生，要照顾孩子，要想办法生活下去。故应该选D。
小题3:细节理解题。根据短文第二段的内容可知，作者找了一个看家的人在工作日的时候照顾孩子，但是从周五晚上到周一早上，她要和孩子们单独在一起，and frankly(坦诚地) I was uneasy.，她感到很不安。故选B。
小题4:推理判断题。根据短文中第三段中The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results.可知，作者打了很多电话，还检查了很多寻物启事的广告，想要找到那只牧羊犬的主人，但是没有找到。故D选项说作者太忙没有找牧羊犬的主人，这是错误的。故选D。
小题5:主旨大意题。这篇短文主要讲述的是作者在丈夫去世后，感到生活压力很大，她有六个孩子需要照顾。每到周末作者和孩子们单独在一起的时候，心里总是感到不安。幸好有一只牧羊犬来到了作者的家里，它总是周五晚上来，周一早上离开。在有牧羊犬做伴的日子里，作者感受到了安全，慢慢地变得有勇气。故用A friend’s strength作为题目是合适的，这里的朋友就是那只牧羊犬。故选B。

To my family and friends,

I have received several emails asking what I need while I'm here .so I decided to write you all and let you know that I don’t need anything. At least not for me.

Even though the local government speaks about the     of education for both boys and girls but most of these kids only attend school for four hours a day if they are even allowed to go. They are so excited and     to learn, but then have to     things like being sprayed（喷射） with acid or poisoned. Most of these kids are poor and can’t     a pencil, pen or even paper to write on. So my co-workers and I are planning a trip to several schools to promote      and to give these kids some of the       they need. That is where all of you come in. If you can, please       whatever school supplies you currently have     .
That would be a huge help.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the     to do this and I will post pictures of this    after we go.
Thank you again.

Are you in a bad mood? Don’t worry! According to a new Australian study, a bad mood can actually be good for you. The study showed that being sad could help people to judge others more correctly and was also good for the memory.
The study was carried out by Professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales.“People in a bad mood paid more attention to the people and things around them than happy people .Happy people were more likely to believe anything they were told,”said Forgas
For the study, Forgas and his team did a lot of experiments. During the experiments, they made the participants(参加者) feel happy or sad by watching films and thinking about good or bad things of the past.
In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge whether some wrong things were true or not. The results showed that people in a bad mood were less likely to believe that these things were true.
People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when they were asked to remember the things that they saw.

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically (基本上) , they are often taking risks.
Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?
According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view them—that is “peer influence”.
As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.
In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.
Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?
As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”
小题1:What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?

A．Quick.	B．Crazy.
C．Careful.	D．Correct.

小题2: Why are teenagers often taking risksaccording to the text?

A．They like difficult tasks.

B．They don’t care about costs.

C．They are too young to tell right from wrong.

D．They care a lot about what their peers think of them.

小题3:How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens’ behavior?

A．By using a metaphor (比喻).

B．By giving examples.

C．By presenting research findings.

D．By performing an in-depth analysis (分析).

小题4:According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (倾向于) ______.

A．use more self-control

B．become more careful about what they do

C．perform better than when they are alone

D．focus more on short-term benefits（利益）

小题5:What can we learn from the text?

A．Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.

B．Peer influence is bad on teenagers.

C．Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.

D．Teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.
