7.Many people in England are angry that drivers park their cars on the pavements(人行道).Cars that are on the pavement block(堵) people from walking safely down the street.They have to walk into the road to get around the cars.
The charity for the blind,Guide Dogs,said blocking the pavement is"inconsiderate and dangerous".It says it's a lot more difficult for blind people to walk around the town if cars are in their way.A spokesman for the charity told the BBC,"It can be frightening for anyone who is forced to step into a road because the pavement is blocked by a truck,a car or other badly parked vehicle.Imagine you have to step into a road where you can't see oncoming traffic."
A survey on parking in Britain found that 70percent of people want a ban(禁令) on parking on pavement.A town south of London has already started a system to get drivers to park on the road or in a proper car park.Any motorist who parks on the pavement gets a $115fine.However,many people say the fines do not work.Local people say car owners don't mind the fine and park where they want.People pushing their children in baby cars and people in wheelchairs are afraid to walk on busy roads where there is heavy traffic.She wants her town to be like London,which has strict rules against pavement parking.

10.It seems that there's a good reason why dogs are always seen as man's best friend.Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotions(情感)in faces much like humans.The finding suggests that like an understanding friend,dogs can see if we are happy,sad,pleased or angry.
When humans look at a new face,their eyes usually look across the left,falling on the right hand side of the person's face first.A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions.
Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have"left gaze b/as(左视偏好)",but only when looking at human faces.No other animal has been known to do like this before.Dr.Kun Guo showed 17dogs pictures of human,dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team.The dogs'eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces.But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures,including those of dogs.
Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans,dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions.
"Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left.If true,then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first."

33.Dog's left gaze bias happens when they look atC
A.dogs    
B.monkeys    
C.humans    
D.pictures
34.Why are dogs seen as man's best friend according to the passage?B
A.Because dogs are the closest animals to humans.
B.Because dogs can read the emotions in humans'faces easily.
C.Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad.
D.Because dogs are good at expressing emotions.
35.The dogs'left gaze bias helps themA.
A.get along well with humans
B.express emotions quickly
C.have more understanding friends
D.remember more new faces
36.The passage mainly wants to tell us thatD.
A.dogs have been man's best friends for thousands of years
B.humans have a"left gaze bias"
C.the"left gaze bias"works on dogs
D.dogs can read emotions the same as humans.

7.Some good manners in modern life
Do you often use a cell phone?Do you take the subway to school every day?These items make our modern life easier.But do you know how we should behave properly while using them?The following suggestions might be helpful.
For cell phone users
◆Keep your voice down when you make a phone call in public.Shouting on the phone may make others feel uncomfortable.And you'd better not use it during a meeting.
◆Don't send messages at a dinner or a party.You shouldn't play cell phone games either.It's a good time to communicate with your family and friends.
◆Don't make or answer a call while driving.It is not only very dangerous for both you and your passengers but also against the law.

◆You'd better not lie across the subway seats even if the train isn't crowded.Offering your seat to someone who needs it is considered as good manners.
