    Thirteen-year-old Shanna Wilkinson saved the life of Holly, a sheepdog, who was very young. Holly was a tiny and very weak dog. According to the vet, there was little chance that Holly could survive. But with Shanna’s love and care, Holly grew into a strong, healthy adult dog with a special skill that would save Shanna’s life more than once.

    At seventeen, Shanna got a kind of illness. She began having seizures(疾病发作) repeatedly, often as many as nine times a day. Because she couldn’t predict when the seizures would occur, every moment was dangerous for her. Every day she was in danger--- it was risky for her to simply cross the street, much less drive a car.

    Just when it seemed as if Shanna would have to live indoors forever, her mother noticed something strange happened. Several times a day, the dog would begin whimpering(呜咽) and pulling Shanna’s leg. At first, no one was sure what was wrong with her. But they soon realized that Holly’s strange behavior always occurred before one of Shanna’s seizures began. Amazingly, Holly is able to predict exactly when the seizures will occur, even though Shanna herself never sees them coming.

    Luckily, no matter how mysterious the dog’s talent is, Holly’s help has made life a billion times better for her owner.

    “I feel comfortable and safe going out in public, and I can know when my seizures will come because of Holly, ” Shanna says. “Holly has really given me back my independence and I can live a normal life.”

    1. What do we learn about the dog Holly?

    A. She can get recovered herself.

    B. She is larger than most dogs.

    C. She would have died without Shanna’s care.

    D. She was fed well when Shanna saved her.

    2. It was impossible for Shanna to driver a car because ___ .

    A. she was too young to drive

    B. she had no sense of direction

    C. her seizures would come suddenly

    D. she didn’t know the traffic rules

    3. According to the passage, how does Holly help Shanna?

    A. She can make Shanna know when the seizures come.

    B. She can help Shanna by sending for a doctor.

    C. She can stop Shanna from going out in public.

    D. She can help Shanna when she gets injured.

    4. The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph probably refers to ___ .

    A. Shanna’s family　　　　　　　　　 B. Holly’s behaviors

    C. Shanna’s actions　　　　　　　　　 D. Shanna’s seizures

    It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn’t have even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”

     “To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

    On the wall in my mother’s bedroom there was a photo, which showed a soldier with a gun.

    Below the photo there was the word ”Speaking”.

    “Who’s that soldier called Speaking?” I asked one day.

    “He was Harold.” She said, ‘He was my only brother. When the Second War began, Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and nine.”

    “Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said, ‘We’re not speaking to you.’ But before long we were all happy again, and then we said, ‘I’m speaking now. Are you speaking to me?’”

    “When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came to see us. He brought the gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war. We didn’t see him for three years, three long, empty years. We didn’t often hear from him. But one day in May there was a loud bang on the front door.”

    “I ran to open it, it was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold, too. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word “Speaking’”.

    ‘I didn’t. I couldn’t answer. I just fell into his arms and he dropped his gun. He stayed with us for a month. We played all our old games again. Then he went back to the war, and never came back again. So I wrote the word on the photo.”

    This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers（young people aged from 13 —19）from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
    Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
    Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected — much harder. Students rose respectfully① when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
    Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
    “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
    At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize② American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
    Notes:
    ①    respectfully  adv. 尊敬地，谦恭地
    ②    criticize  vt. 批评，责备
    Choose the best answers according to the above:

    1. 1.

      This year       __ teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

      1. A.
        twenty-three hundred
      2. B.
        thirteen hundred
      3. C.
        over three thousand
      4. D.
        less than two thousand
    2. 2.

      The whole exchange programme is mainly to        __.

      1. A.
        help teenagers in other countries know the real America
      2. B.
        send students in America to travel in Germany
      3. C.
        let students learn something about other countries
      4. D.
        have teenagers learn new languages
    3. 3.

      What is particular in America schools is that        __.

      1. A.
        there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.
      2. B.
        there are a lot of outside activities
      3. C.
        students usually take fourteen subjects in all
      4. D.
        students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car
    4. 4.

      After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought        __.

      1. A.
        a better education should include something good from both American and Germany
      2. B.
        German schools trained students to be better citizens
      3. C.
        American schools were not as good as German schools
      4. D.
        the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students
