Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his scruffy little dog hanging out down there.I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn t have been a problem; we have our own “mini farm” of animals! But he would say “OK!” and then blow the idea off because of our business.Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but its winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with takeout food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man and his dog were sitting right there all bundled up(穿着暖和的衣服). Even the dog had a coat on! Not even thinking about it, I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixing for the man and his little buddy, I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog. He said,”Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel.” And there were tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.When my husband dug into the KFC bag he asked, “Were you hungry, or what?” I told him what I did and he said,”Only you!” Then he told me I had done a good thing.A few weeks later, we were walking along the canal and found the man walking to me, with his little dog. He asked whether I would mind adopting the dog. With tears in eyes, he said it had gotten too hard for him to care for the dog. He added that he was planning on heading to Washington State but his dog wouldnt have been up to it, so he hoped to give it to me.“Only you! In this city, you are the only person I can believe in!”Now, every time I watch and pat the puppy lying near the fireplace.

The author adopted the old mans dog.CSome people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way, so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me.Often people do not like to admit that they didnt know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of direction which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for direction to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for direction of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.29. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?.A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town. C. He will give the very person a long list of direction.D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.30. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?A. Because of his poor sense of direction.B. Because he always forgot the way to home.C. Because he did not have any friend.D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.31. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?A. He felt strange. B. He felt embarrassed.C.He felt very sad. D. He felt astonished.DThis could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the users maximize their performance, reduce damage to body and prevent hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that monitor(监测) the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors(传感器) record each movement and send it by a ankle transmitter(脚踝发射器) to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “ People think running is so easy and of course ever everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well, “People think running is so easy recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.Dr. Vigano said,”People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around $120, which will go on sale in March.32. What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. People who are disabled. B. People who are interested in dancing.C.People who are not good at dancing. D. People who invented the socks.33. Whats special about fibers that the socks are made of? A.They feel much softer than normal clothes. B. They can watch the movements of feet. C. They are expensive to produce. D. They act as a smart phone for users.34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the socks? A. They can improve the skill of running. B. They can help women walk better in high heels. C. They can teach people to dance well D. They can be worn for days without washing.35. According to Dr. Vigano,_.

However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind._36_ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. _37_Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. _38_ Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. _39_ Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people._40_ Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.AOne way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.BKnowing how to fight laziness is important.CFinally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.DTo fight family laziness, set an example.EWith strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.FCreate a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.GLaziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I felt very depressed the other day.
