in a public park or the cheery sound of your name at the neighborhood bar it doesnt take much to feel at home in a busy city. and in the following cities, these gestures are second nature, with locals who are quick to welcome visitors and neighbors alike.dublin, irelanddublin is home to some of the warmest people on the planet. one of europes smaller capital cities, dublin also benefits from a low crime rate and a widespread feeling of security(安全), so residents are more likely to lend a stranger a helping hand. locals speak in peaceful tones in public. talking too loudly in public gives the impression of being careless at best, and rude at worst.auckland, new zealandnew zealands biggest city is also the countrys friendliest, perhaps because many of its residents are immigrants(移民).

scenery and things. thats got to make people a bit happier, and therefore friendlier.charleston, united statesthis city has a quiet outdoor environment that helps keep residents in good spirits. even when you go to the department of motor vehicles, you get a smile. like many southern us cities, charleston moves at a slower pace. people take time to sit outside, talk to neighbors and walk to dinner.victoria, canadaa popular tourist destination with a busy cruise port, the capital of british columbia is known for first-rate customer service and kind hosts. even the post men and women are

to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力) . with their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to intermountain therapy animals (ita) in salt lake city. the group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of reading education assistance dogs (read).the salt lake city public library is sold on the idea. “literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache.” said lisa myton, manager of the childrens department.last november the two groups started “dog day afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. about 25 children attended each of the four saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. those who attended three or four of the classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.the program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in april, according to dana thumpowsky, public relations manager.28. what is mainly discussed in the text?a. childrens reading difficulties.b. advantages of raising dogs.c. service in a public library. d. a special reading program.29. specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _.a. dogs are young childrens best friendsb. children can play with dogs while readingc. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children d. children and dogs understand each other30. by saying “the salt lake city public library is sold on the idea,” the writer means the library_.a. uses dogs to amuse children b. accepts the idea put forward by itac. has opened a childrens departmentd. has decided to train some dogs31. the underlined part “a paw graphed book” is most probably _.a. a book used in saturday classes b. a book written by the childrenc. a prize for the children d. a gift from parentsd the poaching(偷猎), or illegal killing, of rhinos in south africa is growing worse each year. the government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014, a year which had more rhino killings in south africa than ever before.the world wildlife fund, or wwf, says about 20, 000 rhinos live in south africa. that is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. edna molewa, south africas environment minister, says, “during 2014, we are sad to say this, 1, 215 rhinos were killed. this is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1, 004 in 2013 and indeed very worrying.”the animals are hunted for their horns. many people in asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. but there is no scientific evidence for this belief. the horn is made of keratin. that is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails.ms. molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. but rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. south africas legal system is ineffective. ms. molewa said more needs to be done and south africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. the efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the sadc region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year,” molewa said.jo shaw, the rhino program manager at the wwf, said, “were talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month, or more than three a day. we really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” she says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. government officials are to meet in botswana in march at the intergovernmental conference on illegal wildlife trade.32. according to paragraph 2, we know _.a. half of the rhinos live in south africa. b. less than 1,000 rhinos were killed in 2013. c. the killing in 2014 was more than that in 2013. d. there are only 20,000 rhinos left in the world. 33. what is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?a. to get more keratin. b. to protect the farmland. c. to use them for decoration. d. to make money from horns. 34. jo shaw thinks that _. a. many criminal groups are well organizedb. new laws are needed to punish the killersc. rhino protection needs international cooperationd. conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year35.
