my brothers and sisters do not even provide their share in the expenses as much as i do. ”one night, as martha was as usual late in going home, she peeped for the first time in the room where her father was lying. she noticed that her father was still awake. she decided to come close at his bedside. her father held her hands and said, “i miss you. i dont have much time. stay with me. ” and she stayed with her father holding his hand the whole night.the next morning martha said to everyone, “i have taken a leave of absence. i would like to be with my father. i will bathe him, and sing for him from now on. ” her father had a beautiful smile. he knew this time martha loved him.as children, we need the assuring presence of our loved ones. adult people need no less.21. why did martha work so hard?

well, if youre a dog-owner, you may have a point. dogs are able to watch peoples interactions with one another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. this study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. it offers evidence that dogs use information not only from peoples direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another.in the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. both women gave the man corns when be asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. in response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross（in spanish；the study was conducted in argentina）. after these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. while many dogs didnt approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food.other studies of dogs people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell the difference between happy and sad faces in their owners. they prefer people who give others food when asked over people who dont give others food. and in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people.so how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? thats not totally settled yet. in a strange twist to the argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didnt preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. you could say dogs watch for the interaction between two persons, not just how a person reacts. yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face.well, either way, you can be sure fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. the study was published in the journal plos one.25. what does the study mentioned in this passage show?a. dogs prefer yummier foods. b. dogs can read human actions and feelings. c. dogs can interact with humans easily. d. dogs like to copy humans behavior.26. what does the underlined word “gross” probably mean?a. healthy. b. disgusting. c. yummy. d. hot.27. which is one of the procedures of the argentine study? a. the man had different reactions to the food received.b. one of the women didnt give the food to the man. c. the assistant accompanied the dogs to get the food. d. many dogs went to one of the women.28. what can be concluded from paragraph 42 _. a. interactions between two persons confuse dogs. b. dogs never understand the reaction of one person. c. the findings of some studies are controversial. d. dogs have good interactions with one another.ceveryone in the uk should learn at least 1000 words of another language, urges a new campaign.the 1000 words campaign comes from concerns that the country will lose out on international trade and jobs because of poor language skills. it aims to challenge the view that only the brightest people can learn another language. “for too long people from the uk have suffered from a reputation that we are lazy linguists,” said a supporter, vicky gough of the british council. “speaking another language is crucial to the understanding 0f another culture,” said ms gough. “so lets overturn our poor record in language learning and show that we are ready to engage with a multilingual（多种语言的）world. ”she urged.the group said a vocabulary of 1000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation. the proposal is part of speak to the future, a wide campaign backed by organizations including the british council, the cbi, the british academy and a range of embassies and language teaching bodies. this years a-level results showed a continued fall in those taking french and german, down by 10 and 11 respectivelythough spanish bucked the trend with a 4 rise in entries. by contrast entries at gcse（general certificate of secondary education）for french, german and spanish were up by 16. 9 last year, reversing（倒转）a long-term downward trend.however, teresa tinsley, a member of speak to the future told bbc news that because the ebacc was for pupils who achieve good grades, there was evidence that some schools were focusing their language teaching on abler students, whereas businesses needed people with language skills at all levels of the workforce.“most top managers have language skills but in fact staff whose jobs involve settling invoices（发票）or buying stock abroad also need to be able to speak-another language,” said ms tinsley. “a worrying divide is opening up.”the campaign director bernadette holmes said, “the idea that everyone should learn the basis knowledge of another language is both realistic and attainable. we are not expecting instant fluency. yet if everyone were capable of using at least 1000 words of a new language, social attitudes and economic prospects would be significantly enhanced-young people would be better prepared for the challenges of globalization and our cultural and intellectual levels would be raised.”29. according to bernadette holmes, which of the followings is true? a. some schools were focusing their language teaching on abler students. b. speaking another language is unnecessary to the understanding of another culture. c. the campaign can gain instant fluency. d. the campaign can promote the economy of the whole country30. from this text, we can know that _. a. the uk will lose out on some international trades and jobs b. german and spanish were down in entries at gcse last year c. most top managers dont need to learn the basic knowledge of another language d. learning at least 1000 words of a new language is urged by a campaign31. whats the best title of this text?
