Their architecture catches your attention, and their history pulls you in. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany This is possibly the most famous castle in the world and with good reason. It was the inspiration (灵感) for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. King Ludwing II of Bavaria got the palace in the late 1800s, but he died before it was completed. It was opened to the public a few weeks later, and nearly 60 million have visited since. Bran Castle, RomaniaHave you heard of Bram Stokers Dracula?

In it you can find art and furniture collected by Queen Marie of Romania, and weapons from the 14th to 19th century. Chateau de Versailles, FranceThis housing was “upgraded” to a castle in the 1600s when it became home to the Court of France. Fans of French history will love seeing the wonderful decoration that represents the French kingdom at its greatest. Prague Castle, Czech RepublicPrague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world. Some parts were built in the 9th century. Over the centuries, rulers made small addition, and the castle grew. Prague castles design contains every architectural style of the last 1,000 years. Himeji Castle, JapanEighty-three wooden buildings stand together to form this amazing castle built in the 14th century.

BAll areas of the world face a nurse shortage (短缺). But the shortage is most severe in developing countries. Many of their nurses move to the more developed nations for better pay, better working conditions and better chances for career development. For example, nearly 2,000 nurses left the Caribbean between 2002 and 2006. The Caribbean nations currently have about 1 nurse for every 1,000 people. The ratio (比例) of nurses to population is about 10 times higher in the United States and countries in the European Union(EU). Now, more than 21,000 nurses who trained in the Caribbean are working in the United States, Canada and Britain. Gaetan Lafortune is an official of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (O. E. C. D) in Paris. He says the nurse shortage also affects industrialized countries. He says, “There is worry in most O. E. C. D. countries that the number of nurses is too small to meet the demand. And what is worse is that their worry is sort of growing.” Mr Lafortune says a large number of nurses are expected to retire within the next 10 years. At the same time, the health care needs of aging populations are expected to grow, intensifying the shortage of nurses. Gaetan Lafortune said, “In the US, for instance, some researchers have found that there may be a shortage of close to a million nurses by 2020.” The United States is 1 of the 21 countries in the O. C. E. D. Gaetan Lafortune says in the recent years many of the countries increased their efforts to hire foreign nurses. As a result of that, O. E. C. D. countries were mainly passing on their shortage problem to countries that may have an even greater need for these nurses. 60. What will be the main causes of the global nurse shortage in the next 10 years?a. The demand for nurses will go down. b. Many nurses will be too old to work. c. Many rich countries will hire more foreign nurses. d. Nurses are often looked down upon. e. Aging populations will increase rapidly.A. a and bB. b and cC. b and eD. c and d61. The underlined word “intensify” in paragraph 3 means “_”. A. increaseB. avoid C. reduceD. cause62. We know from this text that America and the EU countries _. A. refuse to offer equal pay to foreign nursesB. have about one nurse for every 100 peopleC. dont like to train nurses of their own countriesD. have more serious nursing problems than the Caribbean nations63. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Nursing is no longer a worthwhile profession in most countries. B. Different countries have different opinions about nursing. C. Nurse shortage will result in serious problems. D. The health care industry needs more nurses. CA lady contacted me the other day and said, “Ive recently bought a young puppy. When I take her out for a walk around my neighborhood, she turns aggressive (有侵略性的) if children try to come close. I dont know what to do about it. Can you help?”Most of “aggressive” dogs are just trying to avoid attack, because they feel nervous or threatened (受威胁的) in some way. The dog is probably feeling frightened by the children and is using dog language to tell them to go away. Unfortunately, children do not understand what the dog is saying. The animal barks and bites to try to drive them away.The fact is that a young dog learns quickly that aggressive behavior works it makes the threat disappear. So a dog will keep on being aggressive when he feels threatened, unless you do something about it. You have to act to stop him becoming aggressive before it becomes a learned habit.The first rule of dog ownership is to control your pet all over every day. If a dog cannot be touched in this way, it is a very serious problem. At some point he is going to need treatment from a vet (兽医) and a physical examination will be impossible. Also, one day a stranger will come close and try to pat him, and terrible things may happen. So, control your pet daily. You should pet your dog all over, lift his tail, paw and so on.I also see pets who are aggressive behaving bad in the family home. They may go into any room, jump on furniture and steal food. Dogs need to learn that their owners are in charge and to obey their orders. Dogs can be taught to be good. Praise and pat your dog when he obeys, or give him a little treat like a tasty biscuit. Treating dogs in this way can have a great effect and make them much better friends.The best solution for dogs who are nervous around other dogs is to find a training school where the trainer has experience of dealing with the problem. At a training school, your dog will be introduced to other dogs in a controlled way so that he no longer experiences them as a threat. Games and gentle play will stop him from acting aggressively. It is a good idea, too, for the dog trainer to be with you and your pet on one of your daily walks, to watch you both closely and give advice. It can take a lot of hard work, time and money to help a dog that is difficult to control to his former position, but it is well worth doing.64. Why may dogs be aggressive?A. Becaus
