    If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

    There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 yearsa ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a   21 . The owner,  22  he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs availabe, so he kept   23  the man’s office.
    This situation continued   24  for a few months, until the owner   25  to give the homeless man a job which   26  sweeping outside the shop.

He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t   31  any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all.

    They leap from helicopters or speeding boats, bringing aid to swimmers who get into trouble off Italy’s popular beaches.
    For these dog lifeguards, the doggie paddle （狗刨式游法）does just fine.
    These “lifedogs” tow a buoy(救生衣) that victims can grab, or a raft they can sit on to be towed back to shore, and unlike their human counterparts(与对方地位相当的人), they can easily jump from helicopters and speeding boats to reach swimmers in trouble.
    With millions flocking(人群) to Italy’s crowded beaches each summer, the Italian Coast Guard says it rescues about 3,000 people every year — and their dog helpers are credited with saving several lives.
    It takes three years for the canines to reach expert rescue status, and currently 300 dogs are fully trained for duty, said Roberto Gasbarri, who co-ordinates the Italian School of Canine Lifeguards program at a centre outside of Rome in the seaside town of Civitavecchia.
    “Dogs are useful in containing the physical fatigue（疲劳） of the lifeguard, to increase the speed at which casualties（遇难者） are retrieved（找到并衔回）, to increase the security of both the casualty and of the lifeguard,” Gasbarri said.
    The Civitavecchia centre is one of a dozen around the country for the school founded more than 20 years ago in the northern province of Bergamo by Ferruccio Pilenga, whose first trainee was his own Newfoundland.
    The school will train any breed（品种）, as long as they weigh at least 30 kilograms, but Labradors, Newfoundlands and golden retrievers are most commonly used because of their natural instinct for swimming. Each dog works in tandem with（同 ……合作） a human lifeguard, who also acts as the animal’s trainer.
    小题1:Which of the following can act as the best title fo the passage?
    A．Dogs to the RescueB．Dogs Are Good at Doggie Paddle
    C．The Wonderful Performance of DogsD．Dogs: Our Loyal Friends
    小题2:What advantage do these life-dogs have over human lifeguards in a rescue?
    A．Dog can swim very fastB．Dogs can finish rescue work with ease.
    C．Dogs can finish the great work free of charge.D．Dogs can easily be trained
    小题3: Which of the following is TRUE about the Civitavecchia center according to the text?
    A．Any breed can be trained there.
    B．The ones who have the gift for swimming are welcomed.
    C．After a better training, the dogs can work alone.
    D．It is the only place for training dog lifeguards in the school.
    小题4:What does the writer want to tell us in the 4th paragraph?
    A．Without the dog lifeguards, 3,000 people would lose their lives every year.
    B．The buautiful beaches attract millions of people every year.
    C．Dog lifeguards play an important part in a rescue.
    D．Italy is a famous place of interest.

      Imagine yourself on a boat looking out at the horizon and all you can see is the water meeting the sky with no land in sight and you are sailing straight ahead to meet the world. Jesse Martin does not have to imagine: he is living in it.
    On Dec. 7, 1998, at 17 years old, Jesse set sail from Melbourne, Australia on his boat, attempting to become the youngest person to sail alone and nonstop around the world. He sailed south of New Zealand, through the South Pacific, around South America, north on the Atlantic, back south past Africa, through the Indian Ocean and back to Melbourne.
    Even as a young child, Jesse had been an adventurer who traveled all over Europe and Asia with his parents. Born in Munich, Germany in 1981, he moved to Australia with his family when he was only two years old. They moved close to a rainforest in Cow Bay, about 3500kms north of Melbourne, where they built a small house with no electricity or running water. Jesse grew up at the beach enjoying the outdoors to its fullest.
    At 14, he sailed for the first time with his father and brother, Beau. It was after this trip that he began to dream about sailing around the world.
    Jesse’s family played an important role. “I was made to believe I could do anything.” he says. Although, he says, there were others that were not so encouraging or supportive, “People that I looked up to, respected and trusted told me I couldn’t. Thankfully, I trusted myself. There were people that said that the boat couldn’t be ready by the time I had to leave.” However, through perseverance and belief in himself he was able to do what many told him was impossible.
    On Oct.31, 1999, more than 10 months after he set sail, Jesse Martin went down in history as the youngest person to sail around the world alone, nonstop and unassisted.
    小题1: What’s the author’s purpose in encouraging the reader to imagine a sailing experience?
    A．To show how difficult it is to be a sailor.
    B．To show how wonderful Jesse’s sailing is.
    C．To describe what Jesse’s sailing is like.
    D．To describe what a sailor’s life is like.
    小题2: Jesse Martin was at the end of his voyage when he _______.
    A．sailed on the South Pacific.
    B．sailed on the Indian Ocean.
    C．sailed past Africa
    D．sailed past South America.
    小题3: Which of the following made Jesse decide to sail alone around the world?
    A．His childhood adventure experiences.
    B．His journeys to Europe.
    C．His first sailing trip with his family.
    D．His love for outdoor activities.
    小题4: What can we learn from Jesse Martin’s story?
    A．Interest leads to success.
    B．A strong belief will make a person stronger.
    C．Life is an unusual adventure we should enjoy.
    D．Failure is the mother of success.

    A severe heatwave sweeping India, with temperatures of almost 44ºC, the highest in 52 years, has killed at least 80 people this month, officials said on Sunday. The hot weather, which officials say would continue over northern, north-western and central India in the next 48 hours, also may have some impact on wheat production, exporters and flour-mill associations said.
    　　New Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 43.7ºC on Saturday, indicating a hot summer in the next two months in the nation's capital and other parts of northern and eastern India. The highest temperature in the past 24 hours was 47ºC at Ganganagar city, in Rajasthan state. Summer temperatures have been 4ºC-6ºC above normal over most parts of northern and central India since March, weather officials said.
    　　In the eastern state of Orissa, authorities have decided to shut down schools from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday. Authorities said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state.
    　　"District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths," Bhimsen Gochhayat, a government official said. Other deaths were reported from northern state of Uttar Pradesh and central Madhya Pradesh states.
    　　India is expected to produce about 82 million tons of wheat in 2009-2010, but there could be a shortage of 1-1.5 million tons due to the heatwave, said Veena Sharma, Secretary General of the Roller Flour Millers Federation of India. "Most of the harvesting is over, but there definitely will be a slight shortage of 1-1.5 million tons due to the extreme weather conditions," she told Reuters.
    India is relying on an abundant wheat crop to make up for a 14.2% drop in rice output, the major summer-sown food grain, marred by the worst monsoon （季风）in 37 years last year. Weather officials say with summer temperatures in India set to remain above average, there were hopes of heavy rains at the start of the monsoon season that will help early sowing of rice, soybeans and lentils. 
    小题1: The purpose of the passage is ____________.
    A．to tell a piece of news of a heatwave
    B．to record the highest temperature in India
    C．to report the deaths in the heatwave
    D．to inform people of a drop of rice output
    小题2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A. The highest temperature in the history of India was 44ºC.
