Two of the greatest teachers in my life are my children. My lovely daughter offered
a lesson today on the way home from school. We have two dogs. Both of our dogs are
always eager to escape at any given opportunity I have to keep them chained and ruy
yard is fenced，so that I do not have to pay any fines for recovering them from the city
pound（狗收留所）.
This morning I made the silly mistake of waiting until the last possible minute to
put the dogs out. As I was walking the first one out，the second rushed past rne
surprisingly and she was gone.
I called for her to return，but my efforts were in vain. I decided not to bail（保释）
her out if the puppy pound put her away.
Anyway，when I picked my daughter up from school I just happened to mention
that Cady might be rnissing or if she has been caught by the K9 cops（警察），I will not
be paying her fines this time.”
"Why not?”my daughter demanded.“Is it just the money?”
"Well，partially it’s the money. But mostly it is because I am angry with her.，，I
insisted. I noticed that my daughter had her head turned away from me and had not said
a single word for over 5 minutes. So，I asked，"Are you mad at me?"
“Yes，I am.，， She replied，looking at me with tears streaming down her face.
I could not imagine that the thought of losing Cady would be so painful. In my
imind I have given Cady。nice home with。。abundance of food，good water，and even
her own doggy bed for over two years now.
With tears welling up in my eyes，I heard my daughter's voice，“Dad，you just
don’t understand. If Cady is at the pound，no one will adopt her. Who would pick
her? She is three years old and not even pretty like Casey.”My heart softened. I felt
sad for having been so callous. As we pulled into the driveway，there stood Cady in the
back yard，tail wagging and ready for some supper. I will make every effort to prevent
any future escapes,

Have you ever wanted to feel like you were in a western film? Or maybe you wanted to feel like you were a pioneer traveling the west? It is possible to experience such things during a Wild West vacation! Here are four of the best Wild West vacation locations available:
Walk the Lewis and Clark Trail
Walk some or all of the 3,700 miles trail that was traversed by Mariwether Lewis and William Clark, two of the world’s greatest explorers. Though not all the trails are marked, there are various stops that have been preserved by various historic societies. There is also a coach (长途客车) that makes a 16-day trek following the trail. This begins in St. Louis, Missouri, and ends in Astoria, Oregon.
Venture Route 66
Take a tour or go to see it yourself — ride on the famous Route 66. The road is nearly 2,500 miles long. Harley Davidson offers motorcycle tours that last two weeks. Route 66 will provide an experience that may only be found on the open road. The historic road is still well taken care of.
Visit the Grand Canyon
Visit the greatest canyon in the world, located in Northern Arizona. Raft down the Colorado River, or hike the various trails that run throughout the canyon. If walking is not your thing, there are donkey and horse riding adventures available. In addition, there are motorized boats that float down through the canyon in a week’s time.
Visit Deadwood
Located in South Dakota, Deadwood is a historic landmark. It is the kind of town that comes to mind when one thinks of an old western film. Actors who act as gunslingers (杀手) will often be seen in the streets playing their roles. Winter activities are popular in this old town, and there is always something to do.

Dear Editor,
Recently, my classmates have had a heated discussion about that
we should have optional courses in high schools. Some students were
in favor of optional courses. They say interest is best teacher
and our spare time will be colorful and meaningful. Students
can not only enlarge their knowledges but also improve their abilities.
However, others are against the idea, said that optional courses
will take up too much time as well as energy. In addition to, some optional
courses have something to do with the College Entrance Examination. They
are afraid they’ll fall behind their classmates if they will take the
optional courses. I’d like to take one or two of the optional courses, which, I think, will certain benefit me a lot.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I ” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.
When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.
There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.

A．The stories of three famous basketball superstars.
B．A famous basketball team named the Boston Celtics.

C．"I" work so hard in a team that "I" will forget who "I" am
D．Surrounded by other players, "I" don’t seem to exist.

Modern society cannot well do without the contribution that women can make in the professions and other kinds of work. There is a serious shortage of nurses and teachers, to mention only two of the occupations followed by women. It is a waste to give years of training at public expense only to have the qualified teacher or nurse marry after a year or two and be lost forever to her profession. The training, it is true, will help her in her duties as a mother, but if she continued to work, her service would be more widely useful. Many factories and shops, too, are largely staffed by women, many of them married. While here the question of training is not so important, industry and trade would be seriously short of staff if married women did not work.
We can see then that there are good reasons for regarding it as desirable that married women should have some occupation outside the home. However, there are serious objections. Schools do not keep children occupied the whole day and school holidays are long. The mother’s working day will almost certainly end well after the school day and her holiday will not begin at the same time as her children’s. There will be therefore a period when children are not taken care of unless a substitute for the mother can be found, or unless it becomes more generally possible for women to work part-time. There seem to be some grounds for believing that there is more bad behavior among the children of working mothers than among those of mothers who stay at home, but more evidence is required before we can be certain of this. What we can be certain of, however, is that many more will continue to do so.
1.According to the writer, women nurses and teachers ought to carry on their occupation after marriage because______.
A. they are not allowed to give up their jobs
B. their training should not be wasted
C. they want to make a living by themselves
D. they must still improve themselves as mothers
2.According to the writer, one possible way for the children of working mothers to be attended to is that________.
A. schools keep children occupied the whole day
B. their mothers change their occupation
C. their mothers do not work full time
D. their mothers should stay at home
3.The clause “unless a substitute for the mother can be found” means_______.
A. if someone takes over the mother’s occupation
B. if no mother works all day
C. if no one takes care of the children for the mother
D. if someone takes care of the children for the mother
4.The writer believes that bad behavior among the children of mothers who do not work is _________ among the children of working mothers.
A. possibly less than B. about the same as
C. a little greater than D. certainly more than
