    A farewell party was going on. Sylvia Calver hated being the center of any pubic show where she didn’t know anyone. It made her  36  hot and she always felt she wanted to go away somewhere. But on an occasion like this when she knew  37 , there was no  38 to feel shy.  39she had made up her mind to  40  people’s attention for once in her life. Unlike others, Sylvia didn’t have any sad feelings herself at leaving Palmeira Court Hotel or saying goodbye to its 41  — she had left so many other  42 , and known too many people in her life to get upset by such things now.
    Yet this  43 was a particular occasion, and she hadn’t had so many of those in her  44. She had put on her  45  black dress and her long earrings. She had wanted to enjoy being the center of  46 for one evening, but now they had  47  old Miss Hutton of all people to give the  48 speech, whom she disliked. Even so, she thought there was no sense in getting  49  about it, for it was the first rule her  50 had given her — avoid all anxiety, take things easy. So, surprising herself by enjoying her own well-rounded white arm as  51 showed through the sleeve of her  52  dress, she took a taste of her drink and then sat back comfortably with her cigarette. And her doctor’s orders worked! For 53  out slowly, she put Miss Hutton off the end of her  54  with a cloud of tobacco smoke, so that she smiled to herself at the old girl’s funny expression. She  55 herself quite well that night, even to her own surprise.

    Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
    　　One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
    Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack（群）by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate（从属的）role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to
    pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
    　　Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
    51. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
    A. be just part of their nature
    　 B. worsen in modern society
    　 C. occur when they go wild
    　 D. present a threat to the community
    52. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.
    　 A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
    　 B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority
    　 C. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
    　 D. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
    53. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
    　 A. essential to solving the dog’s behavior problems
    　 B. the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
    　 C. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
    　 D. an extreme measure in obedience training
    54. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
    　 A. To avoid being punished.
    　 B. To show their affection for their masters.
    　 C. To win leadership of the dog pack.
    　 D. To show their willingness to obey.
    55. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
    　 A. can give the dog more rewards
    　 B. will enjoy a better family life
    　 C. can give the dog more freedom
    　 D. will have more confidence in himself

    E  
    Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.
    The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.
    In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
    The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
    Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
    Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.
    Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
    Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
    77.For children who receive allowances, they’d better not ________.　　
    A. waste money to buy gifts for their parents or friends　　
    B. buy their favorite clothing or electronics for themselves　　
    C. save money like their parents or other adults　　
    D. ask for the next allowance before the decided date.
    78．Many parents give children an allowance regularly to ______.　　
    A. meet children’s basic need for life       
    B. give control over their children　　
    C. see whether they have financial mistakes  
    D. help children learn how to manage money
    79.If children are required to save their allowance, they ______.　　
    A. can experience three things related to money　　
    B. can understand the relation between goals and sacrifice　　
    C. will do more work around the house　　
    D. help themselves found the basis for their future life
    80. What is the best title for the passage?
    A. Be Generous to Pay Your Children
    B. Be Wise to Avoid Financial Mistakes
    C. Saving Allowances Does Good to Children
    D. Allowances Help Children Learn about Money
