  A dog can’t speak words，but it can “talk”．It has feelings just as you do．At times it may feel angry or afraid．Watch a dog closely，you can see what it is trying to tell you．When you are afraid，you may look down shyly．A fearful dog looks away from you．It may run away too．When you are angry with people，you stare at them and press your lips together．An angry dog also stares. Sometimes the hair along its back stands up．

  Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn’t? Dogs can feel guilty，too．At times when I come home，my dog gives me a guilty look．Then I know he’s done something wrong．

    Doss need love and attention．Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time．Some dogs even snap(撕咬)if they don’t get enough attention．

  You may have a dog or you may know a dog．Treat it well if you want to have fun with it．Play with it．Take it on walks．Don’t order it round too much．Try not to punish it one time and not the next for doing the same thing．Always remember，a dog has needs and feelings just as you do．Talk to a dog， it’ll talk to you，too．

  Do you have bright ideas? Ideas of inventions that change society or，at least，make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes，but we don’t often make the idea a reality．Recently，in Britain，there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow．The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas．There were two groups in the contest：Group One was for schoolchildren under l6；Group Two was for schoolchildren over l6．And there were eleven prizewinners，altogether．

  Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners，was called “Sunshine Superman”．It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately．We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is．Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight．Neil’s is more accurate(精确的)and this is very important for research into the way of using solar(太阳的) power．

  You can do so much with animated(活动的)cartoon．Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs．He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them．This isn’t a new idea．But it is new to use these pictures on road signs．“We found that people were more likely to see moving signs，”said Simon．So now，you can really see rocks falling，trains moving，horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff．Quite a warning!

  The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions．Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”

4．What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs?

   A．To warn people to be careful while working．

   B．To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead．

   C．To add to the beauty of a city．

    Father leaves for work in the morning after breakfast．The two children take the bus to school，and mother stays home cooking and cleaning until father and the kids return home in the evening. This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain．But is it true today?

The answer is no! The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the lives and structure of families in Britain．The biggest change has been caused by divorce, which leads to a situation where many children live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or holidays．

There has “so been a huge rise in the number of women with children who work. The large rise in divorces(离婚)has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children. Even where there is no divorce，many families need both parents to work in order to survive. This has caused an increase in childcare facilities，though it is very expensive and can be difficult to find in many areas.

There has also been a sharp increase ____________ single mothers，particularly among teenagers．Some people have blamed this increase for the rise in crime．They feel the lack of a male role model has damaged these children in society．

    However these changes have not had a totally negative effect．For women，it is now much easier to have a career and good salary．Children themselves grow up more independent and mature(成熟的)  than in the past．
