    They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into trouble off Italy’s popular beaches.
    For these dog lifeguards, the doggie paddle （狗刨式游法）does just fine.
    These “lifedogs” tow a buoy(救生衣) that victims can grab, or a raft they can sit on to be towed back to shore, and unlike their human counterparts(与对方地位相当的人), they can easily jump from helicopters and speeding boats to reach swimmers in trouble.
    With millions flocking(人群) to Italy’s crowded beaches each summer, the Italian Coast Guard says it rescues about 3,000 people every year — and their dog helpers are credited with saving several lives.
    It takes three years for the canines to reach expert rescue status, and currently 300 dogs are fully trained for duty, said Roberto Gasbarri, who co-ordinates the Italian School of Canine Lifeguards program at a centre outside of Rome in the seaside town of Civitavecchia.
    “Dogs are useful in containing the physical fatigue（疲劳） of the lifeguard, to increase the speed at which casualties（遇难者） are retrieved（找到并衔回）, to increase the security of both the casualty and of the lifeguard,” Gasbarri said.
    The Civitavecchia centre is one of a dozen around the country for the school founded more than 20 years ago in the northern province of Bergamo by Ferruccio Pilenga, whose first trainee was his own Newfoundland.
    The school will train any breed（品种）, as long as they weigh at least 30 kilograms, but Labradors, Newfoundlands and golden retrievers are most commonly used because of their natural instinct for swimming. Each dog works in tandem with（同 ……合作） a human lifeguard, who also acts as the animal’s trainer.
    小题1:Which of the following can act as the best title fo the passage?
    A．Dogs to the RescueB．Dogs Are Good at Doggie Paddle
    C．The Wonderful Performance of DogsD．Dogs: Our Loyal Friends
    小题2:What advantage do these life-dogs have over human lifeguards in a rescue?
    A．Dog can swim very fastB．Dogs can finish rescue work with ease.
    C．Dogs can finish the great work free of charge.D．Dogs can easily be trained
    小题3: Which of the following is TRUE about the Civitavecchia center according to the text?
    A．Any breed can be trained there.
    B．The ones who have the gift for swimming are welcomed.
    C．After a better training, the dogs can work alone.
    D．It is the only place for training dog lifeguards in the school.
    小题4:What does the writer want to tell us in the 4th paragraph?
    A．Without the dog lifeguards, 3,000 people would lose their lives every year.
    B．The buautiful beaches attract millions of people every year.
    C．Dog lifeguards play an important part in a rescue.
    D．Italy is a famous place of interest.

    If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

    The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long-distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in London. I would like to describe how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. The reason why the number of seats is now 19 is that the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.
    Originally, they changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took out ten seats from the buses. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they went on long-distance trips, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the owners of the bus companies wanted to make more money, so they tried to meet the passengers’ needs. They changed the airplane seats to sofas, so the number of seats is now 19.
    As the new buses appear, the prices go up, too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels.
    Also, you can change the direction and the height of the sofa to make yourself more comfortable, and there is a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies show movies on the buses. In addition, when you go on a long-distance trip, they have luxurious(豪华的) buses that have an LCD screen on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus. They also have different TV channels, movie channels, and seventy TV games for killing time while you are on the bus.
    小题1:How many airplane seats did they put in a bus originally?
    A．10 seats.B．19 seats.C．34 seats.D．44 seats.
    小题2: The direction and height of the sofas can be changed so that ______.
    A. they can take up less space            B. they can hold more people
    C. passengers can feel more comfortable   D. passengers can watch a movie
    小题3:If you are thirsty and want to have a drink while sitting in the bus, you’d better _____.
    A．go to the front of the bus to get itB．get off the bus to buy some by yourself
    C．change the direction of the seatD．ring the bell on your sofa
    小题4:Though there are fewer seats on the buses, _____.
    A．the bus can pick up as many passengers as before
    B．the owners get more money by offering better service
    C．the bus fare remains the same as before
    D．the bus is as crowded as it was before

    What's your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices , and pay our money.
    We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.
    It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
    Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.
    Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.     
    The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people's lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.
    But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.
    They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.
    What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we're abroad, we can:
    Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.
    Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
    Avoid flaunting wealth.
    Ask before taking photographs of people.
    They are not just part of the landscape!
    Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
    小题1: What is probably the best title for the article?
    A．Tourism Causes Bad Effects.B．Tourism Calls for Good Behavior.
    C．Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun.D．Vacations Cost More Than You Think
    小题2: Which of the following is not mentioned?
    A．Local people were well paid to leave their lands.
    B．Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
    C．Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
    D．Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.
    小题3: The underlined phrase "take heart" means"      ".
    A．pay attentionB．take careC．cheer upD．calm down
    小题4: According to the passage, the writer thinks          .
    A．tourism is not a promising industry
    B．dream vacations should be spent abroad
    C．the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle
    D．tourists should respect local customs and culture

    It seems that every week someone becomes “the first” or “the youngest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of us.
    Why do they do it? Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the ocean is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before.
    In May of this year a British man became the first person to walk alone from Canada to the North Pole. Personally, if I wanted to visit the Arctic, I’d rather go as a tourist on a cruise ship, with a helicopter trip to the North Pole included in the price. But OK, this man decided that he wanted to walk. The problem was that he went in the spring when the ice begins to melt and break up. So he got stuck on a longely piece of ice and a plane had to be sent in to rescue him.
    These sorts of rescues are making many Australians angry with these record breakers. People trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas. So the Australian navy has to send ships to save them and this costs the government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown but we should give the bill to the people who are rescued.
    小题1:According to the author, the so-called record breakers          .
    A．do not benefit other people at all
    B．inspire people to continue exploring
    C．are boring and should be stopped
    D．are usually not wealthy enough
    小题2:We can infer from the second paragraph that          .
    A．there are no high mountains for people to climb
    B．nothing is left for people to explore in the universe
    C．it’s beyond ordinary people to explore the unknown
    D．human beings could fly around the world long ago
    小题3:Many Australians are angry because the record breakers        .
    A．often get into trouble
    B．never use a cruise ship or a helicopter
    C．never pay their own costs
    D．satisfy their needs at the cost of others’ interest
    小题4:What is the writer’s attitude towards the record breakers?
    A．Positive.B．Negative.
    C．Uninterested.D．Neutral（中立的）.

      Everyone knows that you can study the English language for years and still not understand a native speaker of English.
    Well, here’s a secret for you: a lot of British people can’t understand each other either! Apart from the different regional accents across the country, language can also differ (不同) among age groups. The words and pronunciations used by young Britons can be very different to those used by adults. This is called “yoof” culture.
    The word “yoof” is a slang (俚语) spelling of “youth”. Some people consider “yoof” to be a negative (消极的) term, since its pronunciation is easier than “youth”. Other people see the term as positive, because it describes how young people are creating their own language, concepts (观念) and identity.
    When parents find it difficult to understand their children, the children can say more things without the censorship (审查) of their parents. In this way, young people are starting to find freedom, independence and self-expression.
    They are creating a “yoof culture”. It is impossible to come up with a complete list of words used by yoof. By the time the list was completed, it would be out of date. New words come and go like fashions.
    By A.J. Dalton

    A．to list words used by yoof

    A．to stay cool among their peers
    B．to draw more attention from their parents
    C．to avoid interference of their parents in their lives

    　Have you ever wondered why you sometimes take an almost immediate liking to a person you have just met? We often get the first impression of a people based on the color of a person’s skin or the manner in which he or she dressed. Meaning is conveyed not only by words or verbal languages but also by nonverbal communication systems, such as body behaviors.
    Nonverbal communication is important because we use the actions of others to learn about their affective emotional states .Our emotions are reflected in our posture, face, and eyes—be it fear, joy, anger, or sadness—so we can express them without ever saying a word .For this reason, most of us rely heavily on what we learn through our eyes.
    Nonverbal communication is significant in human interaction because it is usually responsible for the first impressions. More importantly, those first messages usually influence the perception(感知) of everything else that follows. Even how we select friends and sexual partners is grounded in first impressions with nonverbal communication.
    Nonverbal communication is important because it is culture-related. It is based on different beliefs, religions, values and customs in different cultures. When, where, how, and to whom people display his or her specific nonverbal behaviors is greatly affected by culture and context. Culture determines what the appropriate nonverbal behavior is. For example, feelings of friendship exist everywhere but their expression varies. It may be appropriate in some countries for man to embrace each other and for women to hold hands; in other countries these displays of affection may be shocking. Each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication. What is acceptable in one culture may be completely unacceptable in another. One culture may determine that snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable; another may consider this gesture rude.
    小题1: What is the best title of the passage ?
    A．Nonverbal communication and first impressionB．Nonverbal communication is culture-related
    C．Nonverbal and verbal communicationD．The importance of nonverbal communication
    小题2: We can know a person’s feeling through our eyes because_________.
    A．we can see a person’s feeling on his face
    B．a person’s emotions can be reflected through eyes
    C．a person’s feeling can be reflected through his body languages
    D．we can see a person’s feeling through his posture
    小题3: Which of the following statements is not True ?
    A．Meaning can be conveyed both by words and body language.
    B．We can use nonverbal communication to learn about a person’s emotional states.
    C．We often get the first impression by what a person says.
    D．The first impression can affect what we will do in the following.
    小题4:What can we conclude from the last paragraph ?
    A．we can use different ways to express friendship.
    B．each culture has its own specific interpretation on nonverbal communication.
    C．snapping fingers to call a waiter is acceptable.
    D．learning a country’s culture is very important.
