Im the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents were depressed when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(医学预科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud. I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(电视连续剧). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ Ill do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because shes the queen of romantic comedy.

When a dog has been properly trained，he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example，seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming，even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises and traffic. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses，but they are also quite tenseTherefore，it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient and understanding.The movie and television can use trained animals too. Some animals，such as monkeys and foxes，are easy to film. All you have to do is make_a_trail in front of the camera by putting something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals，such as lions and tigers，can be photographed as they come happily back to their families or dinner. If a movie actor is nearby，the well trained animal will pay no attention to him. However，the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death.25Seeing-eye dogs have to learn the following except _.Akeeping their master safe while leading the wayBleading their master in the right directionCfollowing the masters order anytimeDcrossing a busy road at the proper time26What does “make_a_trail” mean here in the last paragraph?APlace something to attract the animal.BGive the animal a certain task.COrder the animal to do things.DFollow the animal to hunt.27Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?ADangerous wild animals can be trained.BDogs can be trained to help blind people.C Animals can become interested in learning.DAnimals can be trained to learn certain things.COTTAWACanadas western city of Calgary is the worlds best city when it comes to healthy living，local press reported Monday.According to an international survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, a Londonbased consulting firm, Calgary was top of a list of 144 cities. It scored 121 points, just above Honolulus score of 120. Helsinki and Ottawa followed at 119.5 and 118.5 respectively.Three other Canadian cities came in the top 20. Montreal and Vancouver tied for ninth and Toronto came in at 18th.The scores are based on air pollution levels, availability and quality of hospitals and medical supplies, as well as the efficiency of waste removal and sewage systems.In America, the lowest scoring city was Atlanta, which was ranked 76th.

DIn recent years, yoga(瑜珈)has become popular with people for its fitness. Because of the focus on the physical aspects of yoga, like postures and breathing, few people realize that they are taking part in an ancient practice, developing from Indian religion.Yoga originated in India in the sixth century BC., when people were trying to answer questions about the nature of the self and the soul. It started as a practice only done by ascetics(僧人). So it was not something that the average people did.Yoga is not only a physical practice but also a mental practice, designed to reduce the focus on the external(外部), said Whitney Sanford, professor of religious studies. Most people pay much attention to daily existence and as a result, they lead busy lives, while yoga provides people with a technique to cut off their devotion to the external.Samantha Tam said that practicing yoga improved her flexibility and treated her injuries. “Every time after practicing yoga, I always felt really relaxed and was in a good mood，”she said.Yoga was probably introduced on a popular level in America in the 1960s and 1970s, when Western people began to show curiosity about other religions. Now most people pursue yoga to relieve stress, and fair numbers of people are simply curious.32According to the passage, yoga was originally performed for_.Areligious reasons Brelaxed and healthy life Cits fitness Dthe need of the soul33Yoga is the following EXCEPT_.Aa physical practice Ba mental practiceCa way of paying attention to the externalDa way of reducing the focus on the external34Today, people do yoga for many reasons EXCEPT_.Ato get rid of stress Bto become a hindu(印度人)Cto satisfy their curiosity Dto treat injuries35What would be the best title for the passage?AYoga, an Indian religion, now attacks American culture.BPursue yoga, learn about Indian religionCA good way to practice ones postures and breathing.D.
