The Beagle Brigade
Return to the United States from a trip abroad, and your luggage will get inspected by the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Beagle Brigade. Working with human canine officer partners, the beagles sniff out potential threats to American agriculture.
An orange or apple, for example, might harbor a Mediterranean fruit fly. Hams could carry a disease such as hog cholera. These and other pests could destroy farmer’s crops and livestock. “Once we introduce something that is not part of the environment, there may riot be any controls for it in the environment,” notes USDA’s Lisa Davis at the National Dog Detector Training Center in Orlando, Florida. “The best thing for us to do is to prevent it from coming across the border and becoming established. ’’
When a beagle sniffs specific food odors, it signals its partners by sitting. The human officer then investigates. When the dog is right—which happens 90 percent of the time——it gets an edible treat.
“The dog is not out there working,” explains Davis. “It’s out there playing. It’s a game to the dog.” The handlers give the beagles plenty of food and loving. They make sure they get first-class medical attention, too. When the dogs finally retire after 9 to 11 years, the USDA finds caring homes for them. It’s a dog’s life indeed!
How well does the Beagle Brigade do its job? “On average,” notes Davis, “each year our 54 teams prevent around 75,000 prohibited, restricted items.” Since even one infested (为患的) item could cause widespread destruction, that’s a great result for America’s agricultural environment.
1.According to the article, what is a problem with agricultural products brought into the United States by passengers traveling from abroad?
A. They generate similar types of food odors.
B. They are difficult to identify, even with trained dogs.
C. They must be inspected before being allowed to enter the country.
D. They may carry something that could harm the agricultural environment.
2.According to the article, how does the beagle signal that it has found a suspicious food product?
A. By barking at its partner. B. By begging for a treat.
C. By sitting next to the item. D. By playing a game.
3.How is the beagle congratulated for finding a specific food product?
A. The handler praises it with a hug.
B. The beagle gets to play for a few hours.
C. The beagle gets to retire to a caring home.
D. The handler gives it an edible reward.
4.In the article, the author supports the use of the Beagle Brigade by .
A. providing statistics about the number of items detected by the dogs
B. showing that the dogs enjoy discovering prohibited items
C. pointing out that good homes are found for the dogs when they retire
D. praising the fact that the dogs work for a government agency

Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U.S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2- or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U.S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.
1.What do we know about the survey?
A. The participants were all recent university graduates.
B. It was an online survey conducted by two US universities.
C. It was given to over 1,200 American people aged from 18 to 26.
D. It aimed to find out what the young people know about America.
2.What’s one reason survey organizers give for young people’s lack of knowledge?
A. The poor quality of the US university system.
B. Young people’s unwillingness to travel abroad.
C. The sources from which they get their information.
D. Their lack of interest in knowing more about the world.
3.What topic did the young Americans understand best according to the survey?
A. Government organizations. B. Geographic information.
C. Foreign relations. D. Environmental matters.
4.In which column of a newspaper could we find this article?
A. Economics. B. Education.
C. National Politics. D. Entertainment.

How to overcome challenges in your life
We all face tough and difficult challenges in life. To overcome challenges you need to have that “never quit” attitude in life. If you develop it, you’ll overcome quite a bit.
Motivate yourself. Say “YES, I CAN.” The challenge should bring out the best of you in this situation. Slow it down, and think that process through. 1. If you develop that mindset (心态), you’ll get it done.

Let failure and fear fuel you in a positive way. Everyone fails at times. If you fail the first, second, or third time, don’t give up. 3.
Learn what made you fail and overcome these challenges.
Simplify the challenge you’re facing. Make the challenge easier than it is. 4. As you get through each step, you develop more confidence and you believe you can get it done, and then you will.
Stay positive and confident. 5.You have to find out all the ways you can use to overcome it, and put them to full use with all your effort. It’s our own mental stability that’s the difficult part. When you do it mentally, you’ll actually be able to do it.

Our success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.
You will probably know from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, you,re returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach,expecting a satisfactory result,normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what you’ll get!
Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism (悲观) which largely comes down to having a positive or negative (消极的) attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can’t be done; they talk about problems, see all the difficulties, find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but haven’t got. On the contrary, people blessed with a positive attitude think that anything is possible. They look for ways to solve the problems, they see the good in everybody,and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.
Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is put on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we are made fun of and even get bullied (欺侮) and rejected, start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a bad attitude in later life.
1.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others __________.
A. the way they are treated
B. better when they are satisfied
C. worse when they are in trouble
D. the way they consider appropriate
2.According to the writer, what affects people’s life attitude?
A. The situation they face.
B. The people around them.
C. Their expectations of life.
D. The way they view the world.
3.What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
A. To show how to avoid a negative attitude.
B. To show the importance of a positive attitude.
C. To share his positive attitude with his readers.
D. To describe the effects of a negative attitude.

When I visit Merle, I always head straight to the kitchen. I play with her dog, and get settled at the table while Merle makes cups of tea for us.
We talk about anything we can think of: politics, dogs, the weather, and work. It’s a ritual that I look forward to days in advance.
To an outsider, my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother. But Merle and I are not related. She is my surrogate grandmother(代理外祖母).
I didn’t even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal(母性的) grandparents—safe and comfortable.
While our relationship developed organically, there are plenty of people who have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship.
Sydney-based Cate Kloos started “Find a Grandparent” in May 2012, after moving to Australia from Germany. While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country, she realized her own children would be without their extended family(大家庭). She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had. Grandparents, she says, offer a different but essential kind of support.
“Find a Grandparent” works much like a match-mating service, where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life. So far, several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities—lunch, going to movies and sharing stories.
“It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems; often grandparents have a different approach to life,” said Kloos.
1.How does the author feel about her visit to Merle?
A. It is very formal.
B. It makes her nervous.
C. It gives her great pleasure.
D. It is a source of inspiration for her.
2.Why did Kloos decide to start “Find a Parent”?
A. To honor her grandparents.
B. To make people closer to each other.
C. To bring warmth to elderly people.
D. To enable her kids to get more emotional support.
3.What does Kloos stress in the last paragraph?
A. The qualities of grandparents.
B. The important role of grandparents.
C. We should have a positive attitude to life.
D. We should spend more time with our family.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A. Merle and I
B. My role-model
C. Biological or surrogate?
D. Finding surrogate grandparents
