    Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house and possessions are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.
    Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "It will never happen to me"．Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.
    Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do．Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.
    You must remember that owning a burglar alarm is no indication(暗示) that your house is packed with valuable possessions．It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.
    Send now for our free leaflet telling you how we can Protect Alarm your house quickly, easily and cheaply．Complete and tear off the slip below and post it to us．Postage is free．Also, telephone us on 327 6721 where we have a round-the-clock answering service．It costs nothing to find out about Protect Alarm.

    Suppose you want to bring home a new cat and are looking for a way to really make it feel at home. Actually, all you need to do is buy some nice cat furniture and have it in place by the time you bring it into your home.
    The first thing that you should prepare is a cat house. Two to three feet off the ground is the best height. If you don’t have enough room for a cat house, a cat bed is also a nice choice.
    Once you have a nice spot where your cat can go to feel safe, then it’s time to get cat furniture that offers your pet a nice place to play. One nice choice is cat trees. Scratching posts (猫抓板) are another great idea if you are short in space, but still want to give your cat a nice place where it can claw (抓) at instead of your own furniture.
    If you’re looking for a great way to shop for cat furniture, simply turn on your computer and do some online shopping. In no time will you be able to skim all the offerings from many online stores. What’s great is that you can easily compare products and their prices, so you can get what you want at the best possible price. And, probably the nicest thing about online shopping is that your purchases may be shipped right to you, so you don’t have to waste time making a trip to the store.
    So, if you have brought a new cat into your home, make sure that home is an inviting one by buying some new cat furniture. Without it, your cat might feel lost and unsafe, which you definitely do not want to happen.
    小题1:What should you do first before you bring a cat home?
    A．Find a proper place for the cat to sleep.
    B．Buy a cat house and some cat furniture.
    C．Learn how to take care of the cat.
    D．Know how to buy cat furniture online.
    小题2: According to the author, the first concern for a cat house is __________.
    A．its heightB．its sizeC．its priceD．safety
    小题3:What is the best choice for your cat to play with if you have little room?
    A．The cat bed.B．Scratching posts.
    C．Your own furniture. D．Cat trees.
    小题4:What is the author’s advice on shopping for cat furniture?
    A．Compare products and their prices and get the cheapest ones.
    B．Try to save time and money when you buy cat furniture.
    C．Do some online shopping and get products with reasonable prices.
    D．Buy furniture that can be shipped to you as quickly as possible.

    Honesty，my mum always used to tell me，is the best policy．Of course，this didn’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents．
    But when it comes to medicine．I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients．After all，the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential．Or so I thought．
    I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科)．Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen．I took a medical history from his daughter who’d accompanied him in the ambulance．She’d been his main carer for years．I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history．“Has he lost any weight recently?”I asked．“Well，it’s funny you should mention that，but yes．”she said slowly．There was silence for a few moments．“Why? What are you worried about?”she asked．I hesitated．She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth．“Well．we need to prove it’s not cancer．”I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order．
    Half an hour later, a nurse called me：“Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down--she said you told her he had cancer．”My heart sank．By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer．I stood silently at the end of the bed．My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon，she turned to me．“Why on earth did you do that?”she asked in disbelief．I looked at her and bit my lip．“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her．”I said，hanging my head．“And give her more to worry about?”replied my consultant．“You don’t say the word‘cancer’until it’s confirmed．Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.”
    As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer．But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this．In being truthful，I’d made the situation worse．
    小题1:The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to show that the author_____．
    A．misunderstood the doctor-patient relationship
    B．was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
    C．regarded honesty as the best policy
    D．had an unhealthy eating habit
    小题2:The author’s consultant was angry with him because________．
    A．he told the daughter what he suspected
    B．he delayed running the necessary tests
    C．he failed to confirm the patient’s disease
    D．he forgot what the consultant had advised
    小题3:The author hung his head (the underlined part in Paragraph 4) because he was feeling________．     
    A．helplessB．hurtC．disappointed D．guilty
    小题4:What lesson has the author learnt from his experience?
    A．Learning from parents is necessary．
    B．Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous．
    C．Telling the truth may not always be the best solution．
    D．Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy．

    When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes, Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale.

    Ban Fur? Then Why Not Leather?
    Much to the displeasure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood, California, voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue? Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (兽皮)?
    Animals Do Not Have Rights
    By Tibor R. Machan
    My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (伦理学) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, they would have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way of thinking about animals makes a category mistake. Using animals, including their fur or organs, to improve people's lives is acceptable.
    A Small Step Against Cruelty
    By Kate Carter
    Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that the lovable furry ones deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones? Some say leather is  less cruel because it's a byproduct (副产品) of the meat industry. But this isn't really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the meat industry, but often it's the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for ostrich(鸵鸟)farms, the skins account for roughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰杀)birds' value, a mere 20 percent of which comes from the meat.
    "Who" Are You Wearing?
    By Marc Bekoff
    West Hollywood's ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to ban the sales of leather and hides, too. Furs come from animals who are attacked to become clothing, while some leather and hides come from slaughterhouse(屠宰场) animals. We must remember that when people choose to wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearing formering conscious beings. So it's a matter of who they are wearing, not what they are wearing because these animals must be referred to as who and not what or that.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．West Hollywood's ban on fur products.
    B．Differences between fur and leather sales.
    C．The government's role in protecting animals.
    D．The ecological imbalance in West Hollywood.
    小题2:Tibor R. Machan seems to believe that         .
    A．laws should be passed to protect animals
    B．humans are respornsible for killing animals
    C．it is not reasonable to use animals to improve life
    D．animals and humans aren't supposed to share equal rights
    小题3:What is Kate Carter's opinion about wearing fur and wearing leather?
    A．Both are decided by the meat industry.
    B．There is little distinction (区别) between them.
    C．Wearing fur is generally more acceptable.
    D．Wearing leather is cheaper than wearing fur.
    小题4:What is Marc Bekoff’s attitude towards sales of fur?
    A．Sympathetic.B．Careless.C．Tolerant.D．Opposed.

    As a senior, my future is always on my mind. To be exact, thoughts of the future have kept me up countless nights and made me worry enough to do poorly on more than one test. Because of this, words of wisdom are a source of comfort. Steve Jobs gave a speech to Stanford’s graduating class in 2005 and his words resound repeatedly in my mind whenever I think about my future.
    It wasn’t always like that, though. It started when I became a junior, when college came into view. It’s the first big step to making your life your own. So when Jobs discussed his life as a student, some fears were eased. He, too, felt the need to attend college to make something of himself. He faced what many are extremely afraid of: uncertainty. His lack of understanding caused him to stop attending college and focus on what he felt was important. His story had a happy ending, of course, since he certainly turned out well.
    This doesn’t mean that students shouldn’t attend college, but rather that they shouldn’t worry so much. You’ll get where you need to go, even if your path is a bit more winding（蜿蜒的）than you’d like.
    Jobs talked about the hardships in his work. His love of his work helped him carry on and he got where he was meant to be, which restates the point: don’t panic.
    One particular part of his speech stayed with me. Steve Jobs quoted（引用）the saying “Stay hungry, stay foolish” and it has become my motto. Staying foolish is realizing that you are still a fool, no matter how much you’ve learned or experienced. There is always more to explore. Staying hungry is wanting to find those things about which you are still uneducated.
    Steve Jobs’s level of success is attainable, and I aim to prove that. With the will power to go into the world living every day like it’s my last and allowing the future to take care of itself, I will do great things. In the last moments of my life, I’ll be proud of what I have done and hope to have all the wisdom a person could wish for.
    小题1:The author felt worried when _________.
    A．he had to take tests at school
    B．he thought about his future
    C．he had lots of sleepless nights
    D．he searched for words of wisdom
    小题2:It is suggested in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that _________.
    A．Steve Jobs didn’t attend college
    B．Steve Jobs failed because of his decision
    C．the author is a college student
    D．the author cares much about his future
    小题3:What did the author gain from Jobs’s speech?
    A．Courage to drop out of school.
    B．Confidence in defeating Jobs.
    C．Interest in computer industry.
    D．Bravery to face uncertainties.
    小题4:What did NOT Steve Jobs encourage students to do in his speech?
    A．Have the desire to learn more.
    B．Be content with what they know.
    C．Stay calm in the face of hardships.
    D．Be modest so as to learn more.
    小题5:The passage is mainly about _________.
    A．the wisdom drawn from a speech
    B．the most impressive quote in life
    C．a memorable meeting with Jobs
    D．an experience of a speech

    Even if you are an experienced backpacker or climber，you need to know what to do if something goes wrong．It is not that Alaska is that much more dangerous than other places．It is no more hazardous than elsewhere，as long as the proper precautions(预防措施)are taken．So, being prepared is crucial to ensure a safe trip．
    First of all，make sure you pack everything you will need for your trip．Even if you are traveling by car，pack clothes and gear for backpacking．Because of the bad weather, cars break down frequently. Pack a survival(生存)kit full with：a down coat, boots ,mittens, a hat, snow-pants，sleeping bags，candles，a flashlight，and high-energy food. If you are traveling by car , also pack extra belts, a shovel, and a chain.
    If you are camping or hiking，make sure you know how to avoid bears．If you are lost in the wilderness, there is no doubt you will encounter them.
    However，there is no need to be nervous．Just take these precautions：make noise as you walk，bears will avoid you；cook your food away from where you sleep，and store your food away from where you sleep，so the bears are not attracted．Both of these should keep the bear away．However，if you do encounter a bear，there are two different schools of thought．One is to make noise and scare the bear away．The other is to stand still and speak softly to get the bear to leave．If you are dealing with a brown bear，you can climb a tree，since it cannot follow．But，black bears can climb．If for some reason the bear attacks，play dead．Try to protect your head and neck，and hopefully the bear will leave its“dead” prey.
    小题1:The underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph l most probably means________．
    A．interestingB．dangerousC．wonderfulD．important

    A．it is more dangerous to travel by car

    C．it is necessary to take whatever you need
    D．the car breaks down often while traveling
    小题3:Yon should prepare your food away from where you sleep so that________．
    A．the bear can’t find you by the smell of the food
    B．you can have a better sleep at night
    C．the bear can’t find out your food easily
    D．you can protect the food you bring with you
    小题4:All the following can most probably protect you EXCEPT that________．
    A．you can try to make noise as possible as you can
    B．you can say something in a soft voice to the bear
    C．you can try to learn to climb up a tall tree nearby
    D．you can pretend to be dead when you are in danger

    B． The bears in Alaska’s wilderness are very dangerous．
    C．Something should be taken along while traveling by car．
