my dog otto spent that morning of spring napping in the garden. this was always one of his favorite things to do, even before the days when he was too old and too weak to get out of a car by himself.i probably would have started crying over otto right then, if my two other little dogs hadnt suddenly raced past. larry, who was a puppy, got knocked into otto, then licked ottos ear, and that got otto excited, and otto barked and tried to stand up again, but it was hard for him.soon it was time for me to drive to see steve, our vet.when steve gave otto the first shot, it made him woozy. otto wandered over to where steve and i were sitting and settled down between us. he has always liked to touch everyone in his pack, if possible, while he sleeps.after steve gave him the last shot and otto stopped breathing, he didnt look like otto anymore. he looked like an old gray-brown piece of beat-up carpet, and i suddenly realized what bad shape hed been in for a long, long time. i wondered if hed been in much more pain than i knew. wondering made me feel even worse.the week after otto died was not good. every morning when i walked larry and sticky in the neighborhood, somebody would come up and say they had heard about otto and they were sorry. they were all ottos friends and some of them cried. others, like debbie who lives on my street, reminded me about how, even at the end, otto would stand between her twins stroller（婴儿车）and the street when the garbage truck went by. “like it was his job to protect them,” she marveled.41. how did the author feel when otto was napping in the garden? a. she felt like crying. b. she thought life was beautiful. c. she found spring was wonderful. d. she was relieved. 42.according to the passage, how did the dog die? a. he was killed in an accident. b. he died in natural way. c. he was made to die by a vet. d. he starved to death.43. what can we know about otto? a. he was already too old to bark. b. he liked people to keep him company. c. he died a very painful death. d. he was protected by the neighbors.44. we can see from the passage that sticky is a _. a. cat b. child c. neighbor d. dogbyou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. if you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset. when you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.the way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. i break values up into two groups which i call being and having values. your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. i suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. an example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. by acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. these could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. this is what you receive. you take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life. when you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. if your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. a calm person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思)，or set a time limit before responding. if your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. in other words, you would act like the person you choose to be - this is the key to personal power.when you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce (加强) your chosen beliefs. over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.45. the main purpose of this passage is to _. a. persuade the readers to make a commitment b. explain to the readers what personal values are c. tell the readers how to be truly happy d. instruct the readers how to make wise choices46. according to the text, living by your being values, you would _. a. gain a lot of power b. form positive personality c. seek all human virtues d. fill your own needs47. the underlined word “void” in paragraph 1 means _. a. a feeling of emptiness b. an absence of ones mind c. a break of consciousness d. a state of confusion48. from the passage we can infer that _. a. having values and being values is hard to be balanced b. act on ones own belief makes the life happier c. the way other people think of you decides who you are d. a responsible person does not care about financial securityc it was about midday. id left work early in the morning to cash a check. i walked along to the bank and found there were only about ten or eleven customers there, a pretty unusual number for those central banks.i waited until it was my turn, walked up to the desk and started talking to the bank clerk. he had a really strange expression on his face- just sort of a blank (茫然的) stare. i thought he was looking at me until i realized he was staring over my shoulder.i began to turn round to see what he was looking at and at the same moment, the outside bank guard, the one with the gun, the one with the machine gun, came flying through the door and lay face down on the floor. following him through the door were three absolutely frightening men wearing those horrible stocking masks. they were carrying guns; at least the one in front was carrying a pistol(手枪).whether or not they said anything i cant remember to this day, or whether people just automatically put their hands up i dont know. i put my hands up but i just didnt know what to do.for a few moments there was just total silence, suddenly broken by the telephone ringing. i was wondering who was on the other end of the line. nobody answered the telephone, so it just kept on ringing and ringing, in this otherwise deathly quiet.then two of the masked men went to the counter, jumped over it and got the cashiers and bank clerks to start filling their bags with cash. while the two were getting the money, the one at the door covering us with the gun obviously got a bit of an anxiety attack and started swearing at them, telling them to hurry up and get a move on.they jumped back over the counter. one of them lost his balance when he landed on the floor and fell over. the other two swore at him again. then they left through the door, warning us,” dont move. stay like that with your hands up for ten minutes.” then they just disappeared and there was total silence.49. what does the writer mean by saying “ a pretty unusual number for those central banks” in the first paragraph? a. more customers than usual were staying in the bank. b. fewer bank clerks than expected were working in the bank c. there were usually more than a dozen customers in the bank. d. more banks should be open to serve customers in the city center.50. the bank clerk wore a blank expression on his face probably because _. a. he was feeling upset at that moment b. he felt puzzled and sensed something terrible c. he was threatened with a gun by robbers d. he was required to keep silent at work 51. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the customers didnt wait in line but jumped the queue because of the confusion. b. all the people in the bank except the writer put their hands up automatically. c. nobody answered the telephone because all the clerks were busy with work. d. the bank workers were forced to fill the robbers bags with cash.52. whats the best title for the passage? a. a street gang b. a street bank c. a bank robbery d. a horrible adventured your habits- both what you do and what you think - can cause many sleep problems. here are four ways to help you sleep better.establish a sleep scheduleyour bodys internal timekeepers want you to get up at the same time every day, including weekends, which is probably the most important step toward establishing good sleep patterns, because regular exposure to light in the morning is what sets the brains alarm clock. you can mark your inner clocks point more clearly in the morning by taking a walk or by having breakfast beside a sunny window.regulate your body heat even small ups and downs in body temperature play a large role in your biological rhythms. sleep generally follows cooling state of the bodys temperature cycle. one way to control body temperature is with exercise. a workout lasting 20 minutes before bedtime may encourage sleep. too much exercise: two or three hours before bedtime, however, can keep you awake. you might also try a hot bath well before bedtime, which can help influence body temperature.skip caffeine- even in mid afternoon research suggests that the caffeine from three cups of coffee still has effects up to eight hours later. some people are more sensitive to caffeine than others. some are also more affected than they realize. research subjects who say they can drink coffee before bed and sleep well actually dont sleep as well as they think when you test them in lab. remember, too, that other substance- chocolate, cola and tea- can cause poor quality rest.avoid nightcaps(睡前饮料) yes, alcohol does help you fall asleep. but as its metabolized(代谢) by the body, it releases a natural stimulant(刺激物) that disrupts sleep during the second half of the night. and the greater the quantity of alcohol consumed, the worse the disruption.53. getting up at the same time is most important because_. a. getting up at the same time is good to old peoples health b. everyone can have enough time to prepare for a days work c. the morning light to the body helps set the brains alarm clock d. people can have regular breakfast which is good for health54. if you want to sleep better at night, you can”t _. a. get up at the same time every morning b. make your body heat regularly balanced c. drink too much coffee before supper d. keep your inner timekeepers regular55. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the exposure to light can only establish the time to wake up. b. having breakfast in darkness can fix our inner clocks point clearly. c. a workout can help you sleep, so, the more workout, the better. d. too much exercise before bedtime cannot help make you sleep well.56. in order to get a sound sleep we should _. a. take a hot bath before sleep b. drink some str
