During summer vacations, I would work at a hospital for pets, so I'd seen a lot of dogs．Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen．Thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body．Her bugged-out（凸出） eyes always seemed surprised．And her tail looked like a rat's tail．
She was brought to the hospital because her owners didn't want her anymore．I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though．"No one should judge her by her looks," I thought．She was quite fit and didn't need any treatment．So I advertised Minnie in the local paper: "Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs loving family．"
When a young man called, I warned him that Minnie was strange looking．The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather's sixteen-year-old dog had just died．They wanted Minnie no matter what．I gave Minnie a good bath and fluffed up（使松散）what was left of her poor hair．Then we waited for them to arrive．
At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet's．Two kids raced to the door．They took Minnie into their arms and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car．I hurried behind them to see his reaction（反应）to Minnie．
Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair gently．She moved her mouth over his face．Her rat tail moved from side to side ．so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body．It was love at first lick（舔）．
1．The dog's owner didn't like the dog probably because of____．
A．the dog's curly hair B．the dog's personality
C．the dog's poor health D．the dog's strange look
2．From the passage, we know the dog was ____ to see her new owner．
A．pleased B．surprised C．disappointed D．frightened
3．What would probably happen after grandfather saw the dog?
A．Grandfather would hate the dog's personality．

A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it “was too crowded.” “I can’t go to Sunday School,” she sobbed to the pastor (牧师) as he walked by. Seeing her shabby appearance, the pastor guessed the reason, and, taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class. The child was so touched that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus.
Some years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final arrangements. As her poor little body was being moved, a worn purse was found which seemed to have been picked up from some trash dump. Inside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, “This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School.”
For two years she had saved for this offering of love. When the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would do. Carrying this note, he told people the story of her unselfish love and devotion.
A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a Realtor who offered them a parcel of land worth many thousands. When told that the church could not pay so much, he offered it for 57 cents.
Church members made large donations. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl’s gift had increased to $250,000, a huge sum for that time.
When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacity of 3,300 and Temple University, where hundreds of students are trained. Have a look, too, at the Good Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday school time.
【小题1】 Why did the girl have a purse with 57 cents?
| A．To save money for her future career. |
| B．To build a large building for more children to live in. |
| C．To help build a church big enough for every child to go to. |
| D．To remind people to make remarkable history. |
| A．He made the story known to the public by publishing it. |
| B．He sold a land to the church for free. |
| C．He offered the church a piece of land for 57 cents. |
| D．He raised money for the church. |
| A．Church members donated because of their desire for a big church. |
| B．The girl’s unselfish love was rewarded at last. |
| C．The pastor found 57 cents saved by the little girl. |
| D．Temple Baptist Church, Temple University, Good Samaritan Hospital and a Sunday School building all belong to the small church the little girl went to. |
| A．57 Cents | B．A little girl’s wish |
| C．Pastor and Girl | D．A bigger Church |

When the six very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Beijing or Qinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
1.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.
D. The fall of mainland universities.
2.Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because________.
A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience
B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation
3.What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?
A. The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.
B. Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D. It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retried employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately , as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
66. What is the passage mainly about?
The problem faced by the old in society.
Why we should take responsibility for the old.
How we can improve the lives of the old
Where the old can go to get their pensions.
According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?
Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire
Increase saving levels of people during their working years
Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old
Make available pensions for those who have retired
The underlined word “viable” most probably means ____.
A. impossible B. practical C. usefull D. successful
69. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money
B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age
C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people
D. There is no single solution to the problem of the old
70. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article?
A. To point out the need for government supporting for old people
B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people
C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem
D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
