10．Cold weather can be hard on pets，just like it can be hard on peopl e．Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are．Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time，thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors．This can put their pets in danger of serious illness．There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe．
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad．If you have to take them out，stay outside with them．When you're cold enough to go inside，they probably are too．If you must leave them outside for a long time，make sure they have a warm，solid shelter against the wind，thick bedding，and plenty of non-frozen water．
If left alone outside，dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter．They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere．Watch them closely when they are left outdoors，and provide them with shelter of good quality．Keep an eye on your pet's water．Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink．Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside，which may contain something unhealthy for them．
21．What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1？D
A．They are often forgotten by their owners．
B．They are used to living outdoors．
C．They build their own shelter．
D．They like to stay in warm places．
22．Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather？B
A．To keep them from eating bad food．
B．To know when to bring them inside．
C．To help them find shelters．
D．To keep them company．
23．If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather，they mayA．
A．run short of clean water              
B．dig deep holes for fun
C．dirty the snow nearby                 
D．get lost in the wild
24．What is the purpose of this text？B
A．To solve a problem．
B．To give practical advice．

7．You may know the English letters A，B and C．But do you know there are people called ABC？You may like eating bananas．But did you know there is such a thing as a"banana person"？How strange!Are these people from"another earth"？No．They are just Chinese people like you and me．
    ABC means American-born Chinese．An ABC is a Chinese，but was born in the United States．Sometimes，people call an ABC a"banana person"．A banana is yellow outside and white inside．So，when a person is a banana，he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese．
    Do you know why？Usually，ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language．Some of them don't speak Chinese．Also，they are not interested in Chinese politics．
    But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese，can we still call them Chinese people？Yes，of course．They are Chinese．They are overseas Chinese．These people may be citizens of another country like the US，Canada or Singapore．But they have Chinese blood．Their parents，grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China．They all have black eyes and black hair．But they are not Chinese citizens．They are not people of the People's Republic of China．For example，we all know the famous scientist C．N．Yang．He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957．Chinese people love him．But he is an American citizen．

6．I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon．I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio．It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness．My good mood ended，however，when the radio station took a news break between songs．Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law．I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light．
    As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers．They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light．They looked rough and dangerous，but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands．I rolled down my window as one approached my car．"We are the Brother's of the Wheel"，he said．"We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children"．As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes．They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul．I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off．My good mood had returned．My faith in mankind had been improved．And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance．
    Our society often judges books by their covers，but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls．Perhaps one day we will all learn to see t he world through the same eyes．Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much．
