Guide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16.
The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people.
Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer.
However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for national standards to be introduced. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services.

A. may meet with difficulties sometimes

2.According to the text, Charlotte’s example proves that .

What do Tom Sawyer and Jumping Frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with (使……入迷) life along the river——the steamboats, the giant lumber（木头）rafts, and the people who worked on them.
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of Twain’s best loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There’s also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It’s a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it’s fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is a fiction, it’s based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you’ll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain’s boyhood home.
1.Which of the following statements about Mark Twain is TRUE?
A. He was born in Hannibal.
B. He enjoyed his life in Hannibal.
C. He spent most of his childhood on the Mississippi.
D. He often went rafting on the Mississippi with his parents.
2. Tom Sawyer Days were created ______________.
A. about forty years ago
B. in memory of a great writer
C. shortly after Twain’s death
D. to improve kids’ interest in reading
3.Who will win the fence painting contest?
A. Bob, painting the longest.
B. Julia, painting most carefully.
C. Jim, painting in the newest way.
D. John, painting in the shortest time.
4.From the white fence at Twain’s boyhood home, we know that ________.
A. the story of Tom Sawyer is based partly on Twain’s experiences.
B. the story of Tom Sawyer is based totally on Twain’s imagination.
C. Twain’s old house is painted by the fence painting competitors.
D. Twain’s old house is visited by people from all over the country.

Hu Li’s heart sank due to the color of the air. Driving 140 kilometers from Tianjin City to Beijing last week, she held her breath as the air became a charcoal grey haze (炭灰色的阴霾) . The 39-year-old businesswoman has lived in Beijing for a decade, and this past month, she said, brought the worst air pollution she has ever seen. It gave her husband a cough and left her seven-year-old daughter housebound (足不出户) . “My husband as well as I is working here, so we have no choice,” she said. “But if we had a choice, we’d like to escape from Beijing.”
The extended heavy pollution over the last month, which caused punishment in return for a day last week-called the “airpocalypse” by Internet users-has largely changed the way that Chinese think about the country’s air. On one day, pollution levels were 30 times higher than levels considered safe by the World Health Organization (WHO). Flights were cancelled. Roads were closed. One hospital in east Beijing reported they had treated more than 900 children for breathing issues. Bloomberg found that for most of January, Beijing’s air was worse than that of an airport smoking area.
The smog’s most threatening aspect is its high concentration (浓度) of PM
2. 5-particulate matter that is small enough to breathe deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream, causing breathing infections, lung cancer and possibly damaging children’s development. The WHO has estimated that outdoor air pollution accounts for two million deaths per year, 65% of them in Asia.
1.Which conclusion can we draw from the first paragraph?
A. Hu Li is living in Beijing.
B. Hu Li traveled to Tianjin for business.
C. The haze is harmful to people.
D. The pollution is the worst in Beijing’s history.
2.The extended heavy pollution has largely changed .
A. the way they traveled
B. the opinion about national air
C. the way they lived their life
D. the lifestyle of Internet users
3.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Hu Li’s Attitudes to Beijing’s Haze
B. The Damage of Beijing’s Haze
C. WHO Suggests Improving Beijing’s Air
D. What Caused Air Pollution in Beijing
