Andi has four legs. Hes a dog used by the police. “That dog could have done something to me or one of my employees,” said Wayne Francis Green, 46, who filed the suit in November. Andi was involved in a search of Greens furniture business in 2003. Green said the search was illegal because the police also went into another building that he owned without a permit. But the police denied it. Green said he felt endangered by Andis presence. The search turned up about 50kg of mariguana（大麻）. Last week, Andi was informed that hes being sued. With a paw print, the dog “signed” the paper indicating he had been formally served with the complaint. Green said he wants the court to look into the dogs actions. “I want him charged with several different felony(重罪) counts,” he said._ Students at two high schools in Connecticut, US, can either watch their language or watch their money disappear. In an effort to stop dirty language directed at teachers, Bulkeley High School and Hartford Public High School have set fines for students who use foul language. Police officers stationed in the school issue $ 103(831.5 yuan) tickets to students who curse. Similar to speeding tickets, they require a court appearance if the fine is not paid. The official charge is creating a public disturbance. About 20 tickets have been issued at Bulkeley since the police was instituted in November. Bulkeley principal Miriam Morales-Taylor said the system seems to be working.56. Why did Green feel annoyed? A. Because the police also went into another building of his without a permit. B.

All it takes is a little awareness about the available activities and some careful planning before boarding the plane.The most popular reason why families choose Florida for a vacation is to visit Disney World. If you are headed to Orlando, the chances are Disney World is on your list of things to do while in town. The park is huge and it could take an entire week just to see the attractions, ride the rides and enjoy all there in the amusement park. A visit to the park is good for kids and if you want to give your children great memories from family vacations, plan a trip to Disney World. The park itself is not the only attraction in the area.All over Florida there is spring training camps for Major League Baseball. If you are a baseball fan, head south in February and March and catch practice and exhibition games for your favorite teams. Spring training games are much cheaper to attend than games during the regular season. They are also a great opportunity to get close to some of the biggest names in games. If your children would love to meet their favorite baseball player or you are looking for a chance to get an autograph(亲笔签名), spring training is the place to do it.Finally, if you are a shopper, Florida is the place for you. The state offers some of the best places for shopping in the country and because the temperatures are usually pleasant, you can walk around the outdoor centers for hours at a time in comfort. If you love great bargains and you want to find some in one place, plan a shopping excursion(短途旅行) in Florida with your friends or family.60. Before your vacation to Florida youd better _. A. take part in some activities B. make good preparations C. have a good rest at home D. make sure where to go61. We can learn from the second paragraph that _. A. traveling around Florida takes nearly one week B. the park can remind kids of their past experience C. Disney World is the only place worth visiting D. the park can bring your children much pleasure62. You are eager to join spring training camps probably because _. A. you can spend a large amount of money B. you are specially good at playing baseball C. you want an autograph from a famous player D. you want to live with people who are rich63.

Encouraging people to do shoppingCIndeed, many failures are experienced in our lives and the effect could be extremely unpleasant. I do have a share of my experience and you might have yours too. As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher.” Many people believe its the other way around. Experience, in fact, can be the worst teacher since it takes the test first before you learn the lesson. Often, when people around us try to comfort us telling us that we shouldnt be too hard on ourselves, we say “sure”, yet we are doing otherwise. We are becoming too hard on ourselves because failure is something that wouldnt leave your mind quickly. Failure is something that can make you regret spending money, time, and effort but all go down the drain. But it is common everywhere and it usually leads us to success. “There were once two prison men sitting behind the bars. One saw mud while the other saw stars.” In this story, those two prison men were paying the costs of their actions. However, as they faced their situation, one prisoner was completely defeated by his depression. But the other prisoner held his head up with his hopes and dreams. As you may well notice, failure happens, but people deal with it quite differently. However, true failure comes in when you react negatively to the situation. True failure is about giving up completely. It is about being unable to recognize that you look at the midnight skies, the stars are still shining. See, no matter how disheartening and discouraging your fall was true failure is about not getting up and not moving on. You must accept failure as a great opportunity for you to learn. You will also be able to learn from the failures of other people. But it is your own failure that will help you meaningfully.64. The saying “Experience is the best teacher.” In Paragraph 1 means _.A. experience is really good at teachingB. the best teacher usually experiences a lotC. something valuable can be learned from failureD. the worst teacher can teach you how to be successful65.

Failure opens the door to learning. B. Experience is interesting and pleasant.C. Success in not easy for us to achieve. D. Everything comes from failure.D Jaguars(美洲虎) are the largest cat in North and South America. Their range extends from south of Mexico to Argentina. But in the past hundred years, logging(砍伐) and the growth of cities have disturbed more than half of the cats main habitat, forcing them into living in small groups in different places. Conservationists used to focus on protecting there habitats. But biologists realize now that young jaguars move from one place to another place in their hunt for mates and new land. They may trek(长途跋涉) up to 500 miles through the edges of civilization. It is a dangerous journey that takes them far from the shelter of the jungle. Scientist Alan Rabinowitz is president of an organization devoted to saving wild cats. One day, while studying a map of all the known areas jaguars live in, Rabinowitz decided to play a game of connecting the dots(小圆点). He drew a line between one area and another area. Suddenly he was struck by an idea that could help save his threatened species. Rabinowitz realized that protecting the pathways is just as important as protecting the habitats themselves. He began an international project called “Path of the Jaguars” to check these pathways and make sure they dont become dead ends. “A jaguar, unlike a human, is not stopped by many things.” Rabinowitz says. “Its not stopped by a river or even a mountain covered in snow.” But things such as factories, highways, and dams will halt a jaguar in its tracks, forcing it off course. Rabinowitzzs project works to persuade countries to limit industrial development that would block jaguars pathways. These protected areas are not always connected. But these cats are smart-they run across open land in the dark. If they find a jungle with something to eat, theyll stop to rest, just as you might pull over at a restaurant during a family road trip.68. What do we know about jaguars from the first two paragraphs?A. Jaguars mainly live in North Africa at present.B. Jaguars habitats have been destroyed completely.C. Biologists forbid young jaguars to leave the jungle.D Human activities cause a disturbance to jaguars habitats.EFast food giant, McDonalds, said on Tuesday that they would be cutting out excess calories in their kids menu choices starting in September. McDonalds will reduce the amount of French fries in Happy Meals and will also include sliced apple “dippers” in every meal. Before the change, people could ask for apple dippers instead of fries. Now they get them without asking. McDonalds says it will still include the ever-popular toys with each meal.“We are going to introduce more food groups such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains,” said Cindy Goody, McDonalds senior director of nutrition.After getting much of the blame for childhood obesity, fast food chains, especially McDonalds, began selling more nutritious menu items such as oatmeal and salads. But the restaurant was most criticized for its marketing which is often aimed at young children. Some cities, such as San Francisco, California, have banned toys from all kids meals that didnt meet strict nutritional guidelines for fat, salt and sugar content because the prizes attracted more children to the fast food.McDonalds felt public pressure to change their offerings. The company has stopped including caramel sauce with its apple dippers. It
