Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.
1.What does the text mainly discuss?
A．Pets’ value in medical research.
B．How pets help people calm down.
C．People's opinions of keeping pets.
D．What pets bring to their owners.
2.We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting
well if ．
A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
3.According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when doing stressful tasks?
A．They have lower blood pressure.
B．They become more patient.
C．They are less nervous.
D．They are in higher spirits.
4.The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that ．
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful

Can you touch your belly button (肚脐) by reaching behind your back and around your waist?
A new social trend has started in China, with thousands of netizens facing the challenge and uploading photographs of themselves to show off their bodies. Popular among many young female users on Weibo, the top, which translate as “reaching your belly button from behind to show your good figure,” was mentioned more than130 million times among Weibo users.
It not only spawned over 104,000 active discussions, but also led to concern about what means a healthy body image. “Look! It has taken me more than four hours but I’ve finally reached my belly button,” said Weibo user GayleRabbit. Another user Lucky said, “Why does my belly button suddenly look and feel completely new?”
While the trend was popular with many female users on Weibo, a photo uploaded by a male blogger caught people’s eye. “Is this pose (姿势) really that difficult? I don’t think so,” Said Weibo user Sough Sa. His photo showing he was trying to touch his belly button was shared more than 8,452 times. It also drew over 2,000 comments from other users on Weibo. “Show the skinny girls how it’s done,” said one user.
Weibo user MedicalCream Tang Zhao said, “Now you did it! So you don’t have to lose weight and please stay the same.”
“I always support failures. Now I don’t feel so bad about not being able to touch my belly button,” said another user Jacket.
“Do we need to have flexible arms or a skinny waist to pull this off?” asked Weibo user Chantilly623.
But some experts argued that China’s new belly button trend was actually distorting (歪曲) society’s standards of beauty. “These poses and pictures can be fun but sometimes they also become an expression of competitiveness,” said Jolene Tan, Programmes and Communications Senior Manager in Singapore championing women’s rights. She also told the BBC that the trend seemed to be a way of examining women’s bodies to see whether they are good enough. However, experienced body trainers say the new trend is about flexibility of the arm and the size of the waist, rather than a good figure. A skinny person with fewer muscles has a better chance of achieving the pose.
1.The underlined word “spawned” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____________”.
A. brought about B. put off
C. commented on D. resulted from
2.What can we learn from the above passage?
A. Boys show no interest in this new trend.
B. GayleRabbit reached her belly button on her first try.
C. Sough Sa’s photo of reaching his belly button was popular online.
D. Jacket felt sorry for not being able to touch his belly button.
3.What is experienced body trainers’ attitude towards the new trend meaning a good figure?
A. Disbelieving. B. Uncaring.
C. Doubtful. D. Worried.

Darling Kelli
I’m so sorry I will not get to see you grow up as I so want to. Please don’t blame people or the world for this. I wish I didn’t have cancer and you didn’t have to see me in pain as you often do now.
_1._ We don’t have that time. I won’t be able to drop you off on your first day at big school, pick you up after your first date, hold you when your heart hurts or cheer when you graduate.
But while your old dad is still around I thought I’d try to give you some life advice. I hope it gives you some comfort.
School
Everyone will say it’s important to work hard at school. Hopefully you’ll always do your best. I did well at school but did it do me much good in life? Not really. __2.__
Mummy

When you’re a teenager you might think your friends are right and your mum is wrong. But she has to make hard decisions for you. Treat her well.
Christmas & birthdays
On your first Christmas without me, I’d love if you and Mummy would light a candle and remember me for a few minutes. It would be great if you two did the monkey dance together. That’s something to make me smile from up above.
I’ve given Nanny Sue presents for all your birthdays. I wish I could be there to see you open them. __4.__
__5.__
In life, many people will say you cannot do things. You make up your mind. Can you? Big challenges involve risks so make smart choices. Those who told me I couldn’t do certain things didn’t want me to do them. If you want something, it is nearly always possible, so do your best. I’m sure there’s a lot you can achieve!

Given that many people's moods (情结) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates．Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates．
The CRF’s produce is "green", made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆) , cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela, and Ghana, among others．
1.What is good about chocolate?
A．It serves as a suitable gift．
B．It works as an effective medicine．
C．It helps improve the state of mind．
D．It strengthens business relations．
2.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A．He knows the importance of research．
B．He learns from shops of similar types．
C．He has the support of many big names．
D．He has a lot of marketing experience．
3.Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A．The Connoisseur Series．
B．The Exotic Series．
C．The Alcohol Series．
D．The Sichuan Series．
4.The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who _______．
A．are particular about chocolate
B．know little about cocoa beans
C．look down upon others
D．like to try new flavors

Everyone has heard of Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日). 1._________.
