【题目】 Most female fashion models start their careers(事业)in their late teens and retire in their early 30s, but 96-year-old Alice Pang isn’t an ordinary fashion model. She started modelling at 93.
Alice always liked dressing well and looking elegant, but never actually considered a career in modelling. But her granddaughter always thought she had it in her, so when she saw an online ad for senior models of 65, she sent in Alice’ s pictures and she was chosen for a photo shoot. Never one to back away from a challenge, Pang decided to give it a shot and even though she knew nothing about modelling, she had all the natural qualities to succeed in it. Today, she is recognized as one of the best senior models in Asia, as well as the oldest.
Born in 1923, Alice never dreamed she’ d one day be modelling for high-end fashion brands like Gucci, Ellery or Valentino, let alone at age 96. But her wonderful skin color and excellent posture(姿势)—uncommon qualities for people of her age—make her one of the most sought-after senior models in the business.
Surprisingly, Alice doesn’t credit exercise or a strict diet for her enviable figure and posture. Even though she agrees that exercise helps some people stay in good shape, she doesn’t even have a morning exercise routine, crediting her good genes(基因)instead. She says her skin is white because she’ s seldom exposed to the sun and she has a straight back.
While most people praise her for her active lifestyle and the courage to start a whole new career in her nineties, some say she should dress and act according to her age. She chooses to ignore them, though, saying that her personal happiness is all that counts.
【1】What makes Alice Pang a special fashion model?
A.Her unusually long modelling career.
B.Her being famous worldwide at an old age.
C.Her not retiring from modelling in her early 30s.
D.Her starting the career decades later than normal.
【2】According to the text, Alice is a person who ________.
A.doesn’t give up easily
B.is quite fond of competing with others
C.doesn’t do anything she is unfamiliar with
D.often dreams of being a professional model
【3】In Alice’ s opinion, her good shape is ________.
A.completely naturalB.quite unexpected
C.due to her strict dietD.the result of regular exercise
【4】What can be inferred about Alice from the last paragraph?
A.Active as she is, she is rather stubborn.
B.She always turns a deaf ear to others’ opinions.
C.There are different voices on her present lifestyle.
D.She thinks personal happiness comes before modelling.

I still well remember it was that I was in Senior Grade One. Every one of my class said I was smart and clever, but I fancied myself too. But to my great disappoint, I failed in a very important test. See through my puzzle, my head teacher said me, " Failure comes from lack of efforts rather than lack of ability. " It was his word that woke me up. From now on I spared no efforts to study and made a great progress in the end. I have realized that we failed because we don't try your best rather than we are not intelligent.

【题目】Why Dogs Chase Their Tails
It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail-chasing is a way for dogs to burn off some energy. In most cases, they're doing this for one of two reasons: 【1】.
If a dog doesn’t have anything (or anyone) to play with, it might need to entertain itself—in this case, by playing with its tail. On the other hand, the behavior could be a warning sign that your dog is becoming anxious or stressed. 'We call these displacement(替代) behaviors, similar to a human playing with their hair or tapping their foot, ' says Hartstein. '【2】.'
One reason tail-chasing can be a must-do for dogs is that they start playing with their tails as playful puppies learning about their bodies.【3】. 'The dog then learns it can get attention from its owners when it does that, ' says Hartstein.
【4】. But if your pet is doing it every day or it seems to become an obsession(强迫), you'd better watch out. A constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling neglected. Make sure its basic needs are being met, including exercise and socialization.
【5】. If the tail-chasing started suddenly, your dog might be reacting to a medical issue, like cognitive disorder, or tapeworm(绦虫), says Hartstein. The sooner you get a medical checkup, the better. 'A lot of times, owners think, 'If I just wait, it will get better on its own, ' Hartstein says. 'But (behaviors) get more intense; they get more difficult.' With some treatment and extra training, you and your dog will both be happier.
A. They are happy and content
B. They're bored or they're stressed
C. A visit to the vet is also a good idea
D. They gradually get into the habit of chasing tails
E. Owners often laugh at the activity and talk about it
F. They seek to do things that can comfort themselves
G. It’s normal for dogs to chase their own tails every now and then
