But they thought 36 . My complaints, repeating myself, even self-justified shouting were landing on 37 ears. I felt frustrated , and very often a whole afternoon’s scolding would end with their 38 into tears, I realized I needed to 39 my methods of “mothering . One day while they were at school, I had great fun 40 their rooms. On their desks, in plain 41 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 42 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the House Fairy. 43 arriving back, the children were 44 excited to receive the little note from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the House Fairy 45 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift of a clean room and 46 asking them to play a certain violin 47 . Each day, thank--you notes would be worded differently to keep the ideas 48 . Sometimes the House Fairy would propose a little 49 : “If you can finish your homework today and 50 it before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight. Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 51 of jobs especially well done the day 52 . 53 I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy continued leaving her love notes. When they were no longer age appropriate , we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the 54 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted. We all benefited from and 55 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true legacy of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication. 【查看更多】

    　　Every year all sorts of different festivals are celebrated in Britain．Two of the most well- known British festivals are Bonfire Night and Halloween．

    　　Bonfire Night has an interesting history．In 1605, a man called Guy Fawkes and some of his followers tried to blow up the British Houses of Parliament．They hoped that if they succeeded, they could take control of England and become its new rulers．Guy Fawkes and his men dug a tunnel under one of the Parliament buildings, and hid 36 barrels(桶)of gunpowder there．Fortunately, on November 5th, Guy Fawkes was caught just before he was able to light the fuse(导火线)．He and all his followers were burned to death．

    　　Today, people in Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes’ capture by lighting fires and holding fireworks displays．

    　　Halloween is celebrated in Britain on the night of October 31st．There are many customs associated with Halloween．One of these is the game of ‘trick or treat’．Children, dressed up as witches, ghosts or monsters, knock on their neighbours’ doors, and shout ‘trick or treat!’ If they are lucky, they receive a ‘treat’–a bar of chocolate, or some sweets or some money．If, however, their neighbours refuse to give them anything, they play a trick on them．They might spray their front door with shaving foam(剃须膏), or knock on their doors and then run away!

    　　Another game played at Halloween is ‘bobbing for apples’．In this game, a bowl is filled with water, and apples are placed in it．Children then have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands．This game is difficult and messy(杂乱的), but great fun!

    It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

    Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

    The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

    Herpin died at the age of 94.

    1. The doctors came to Herpin’s home in order to ______.

    　 A. treat him for his illness

    　 B. find the reason why some old people didn’t need any sleep

    　 C. get some proof to show his sleeplessness was not really true

    　 D. help him to have a rest in some day

    2. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin ______.

    A. needed some kind of sleep　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. needed no sleep at all

    　 C. was too old to need any sleep　　　　　　　　　　　 D. often slept in a chair

    3. Al Herpin’s condition could be regarded as ______.

    　 A. an unusual one　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. a common one

    　 C. very healthy　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. very funny

    4. The word “puzzle” in this passage probably refers to “______”.

    　 A. make you think a lot because you do not understand it

    　 B. make you worry a lot because you cannot sleep well

    　 C. make you sad because something unusual has happened

    　 D. make you fear because something terrible has happened

    5. The main idea of this passage is that ______.

    　 A. large numbers of people do not need sleep　　　　　　　　

    　 B. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive

    　 C. people can live longer by trying not to sleep at all

    　 D. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleep

    　　Question：I have a one-year-old female bulldog, who has recently taken to biting my shoes when we are in the park and I' m on the mobile．She can be slightly aggressive and I' m starting to get worried and a bit annoyed．How do I stop her? Susan, London

    　　Answer：You need to get this problem under control before it could escalate(恶化)．I always advise owners not to talk on the mobile phone when they go for a walk with their dogs, because they should be focusing on this time with their pets, but I know people have busy lives and need to make phone calls．

    　　The behavior she is showing is either controlling or playfulness, but they both result from the same issue－you are not paying attention to her．If you must make phone calls while on a walk, try to still engage with your dog by speaking towards her, playing some sort of game and so on．If that doesn't work, you' 11 have to try more of a training approach．

    　　You will need a training line and some treats．Start your walk in the usual way, make a phone call, and when your dog starts displaying the undesired behavior, simply stop walking－otherwise she will see it as a game．When she is calm and looking at you, or if she sits, give her a treat; then continue walking．If she starts up again, pick up the lead, gently pull it, and tell her "no"．Then ask her to sit and give her a treat if she does．

    　　The aim of this is to try to get her to forget how much fun it is biting your shoes．Do little sessions every day－and try not to answer the phone if you know it' s going to be a long conversation．Be patient and good luck!

    　　Remember that if an animal shows signs of distress or discomfort, an early visit to the vet is always recommended．

    (1)

    What is Susan complaining about in her question?

    [　　]

    A．

    She doesn't know how to make calls while walking a dog．

    B．

    She has no idea how to get along well with her dog．

    C．

    She gets worried that her dog is getting annoyed．

    D．

    She finds her dog is getting a little aggressive．

    (2)

    The probable reason why the pet dog bites its owner' s shoes is that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the owner isn't paying attention to her

    B．

    C．

    the owner plays some dull games with her

    D．

    the owner doesn't like the pet dog any more
