little maltese dog when she died last year.the dogs name is trouble. and apparently trouble is still alive. of course, i would hang on too, if someone left me $12 million. look! top-shelf dog food, soft pillows everywhere, drivers walking me in nice leafy parks. i would live to be 110 in dog years.the dogs story is still fresh in my mind the other night when i leave a steak house after a superb meal. then i notice a woman carrying a small bag out of the door behind me.once outside, she walks over to where a man is holding a tiny dog like its a baby. the dog looks like a maltese, too, barking and annoying, with a cute haircut,and now i am treated to an absolute astonishing sight. because now the woman reaches into the bag and begins pulling out little pieces of meat, which she puts on a plastic spoon and feeds to the dog.this is no cheap steak house. its actually way out of my league -im there only because its a special occasion. i can tell you this: if i walked out of the place with any leftover steak, it sure wouldnt go to a dog. not at those prices.so now the woman is spoon-feeding the dog and the man is just standing there, holding this dog and looking as if this is the most normal thing in the world. and the dog is calmly chewing these pieces of steak as if hes a little king. and this dog is in no hurry. hes having a great time.a few minutes go by, and now the dog finishes all of his steak. at this point, i hear the woman say to the man think hes still hungry? and she glances behind her at the restaurant, as if she might go back there to get more steak for the dog.watching all this, im afraid im going to shout, are you out of your mind? feeding all that pricey steak to that little dog? did you see what our american life is like today? were all going to be eating dog food if this keeps up! 51. why would the author live to be 110 in dog years? a. because he is always in poor health and falls ill.b. because a maltese dog lives longer than a human being.c. because his grandparents left him a large sum of money.d. because he thinks the dog is treated extremely well.52. what is the story mainly about?a. an american familys happy life.b. a maltese dog getting $12 million from its owner.c. a new yorker spending $ 8 billion for a few banks.d. a pet dog being fed with expensive food.53. the underlined sentence its actually way out of my league. (in para. 6) means _a. the restaurant is too expensive for the authorb. the author hates the dog being taken therec. the superb restaurant is about to be out of service d. the dog doesnt belong to the authors group54. seeing the dog is being treated to expensive steak, the author becomes extremely _a. indifferent b. annoyed c. concerned d. enviousbover three million people will do their christmas shopping entirely online this year without once visiting an actual shop, a poll (民意调查) has found. overcrowding and long queues in shops are forcing people away from the high street as the hassle (烦扰) of christmas shopping becomes too much.the number of people turning their backs on the high street is almost one million higher than it was last year, according to the poll by yougov. last christmas 2.4 million shoppers did not do any of their shopping in actual shops. the figure this year is predicted to be around 3.4 million, equal to around 7 percent of the adult population.over a third of people said that the main turn-off about shopping on the high street is over-crowding. meanwhile almost a quarter said that long queues at the cheek-out are the worst thing about it.of the 2,065 people polled, even those who are still taking to the shops plan to spend less time in them this christmas. around 31 percent of shoppers who plan to spend at least some time on the high street will spend less than half of their shopping time in actual shops, using the rest of the time to shop remotely via the internet. this compares to 28 percent of people last year. meanwhile the proportion of people spending over half of their shopping time in high street shops has dropped from 41 percent last year to 39 percent this year. just 2 percent of people said that they are looking forward to dealing with store staff this festival season.guy boxall, senior product marketing manager at casio business solutions division, which commissioned the research from yougov, said that despite the fall in people visiting the high street, humans are social creatures who actually like spending time together.although the high street is facing a big challenge christmas, retailers (零售商) should see this research as a challenge to improve the in-store shopping experience, rather than the nail in the coffin. we are social creatures, and the desire to spend time with each other, particularly at christmas, is never going to go away, said mr. boxall.55. according to the poll, in this years christmas a. about 7 % of the population will do both online and actual shoppingb. about 31% of shoppers will do half of their shopping in actual shopsc. about 39% of shoppers will do more than half of their shopping in actual shopsd. over three million shoppers will quit actual shopping just because of the long queues56. whats the meaning of turn-off in para.5?a. something that makes people lose heartb. something that makes people lose facec. something that makes people lose interestd. something that makes people lose courage57. it can be inferred from mr. boxalls words that . a. retailers should reduce their in-store goods.b. retailers will be pessimistic about the result of this research.c. retailers should focus on the advantage of in-store shopping.d. retailers will make more profits this christmas than last christmas58. whats mr. boxalls attitude towards christmas online shopping?a. concerned. b. doubtful. c. approving. d. objective.cfew, if any, instruments shape national culture more powerfully than the materials used in schools. textbooks are not only among the first books most people meet; in many places they are, along with religious texts, almost the only books they have. a study in south africa showed that fewer than half of pupils had access to more than ten books at home. in 2010 a study by egypts government found that, apart from school textbooks, 88% of egyptian households read no books.the degree to which a government keeps control of the textbooks used in classrooms is a good guide to its commitment to ideological(意识形态) control. where that desire is strong, governments are likely to produce the textbooks themselves or define carefully what goes into them.americas state department employs people to keep an eye on other countries textbooks, in an effort to understand better how their people think and what their governments want them to think. other countries probably do the same.textbooks have long been a source of worry. after the attacks on america on september 11th 2001, some in both america and saudi arabia, including officials, supposed that saudi arabias curriculum of intolerance was responsible, at least in part, for the emergence of al-qaeda (基地组织). sometimes the requirements of the state are more clearly seen in what textbooks leave out. the world has long criticized japan for the way its textbooks whitewash the countrys history, in particular dressing up japanese war crimes. the “new history textbook”, for example, which was submitted for government approval in 2000, played down japans aggression in the sino-japanese war of 1894-95 and the occupation of china in the 1930s and 1940s, and avoided mention of the use of sex slaves by its armies or the rape of nanjing. in america most of the disputes about textbooks are home-grown. liberals worry that their children are being taught a nationalistic version of history that emphasizes the wonders of industrialization and plays down slavery and the killing of indian tribes. by contrast, conservatives complain about inadequate education of love for their country and too much secularism (政教分离论). in 2010 the texas board of education managed to remove thomas jefferson, author of the declaration of independence, from the states list of important revolutionary figures, apparently because of jeffersons insistence on the separation of church and state. he was, however, swiftly restored.as long as textbooks are issued or approved by the state, they will remain a political issue. but as access to other textbooks is enjoyed more widely, some of the dominance they now enjoy will weaken. 59. the authors purpose of writing this passage is .a. to present his findings of the importance of textbooks b. to inform the readers of present practices of textbooks c. to explore the contribution of the government to textbooks d. to argue against the government in the control of textbooks 60. governments will probably produce the textbooks themselves and decide the contents when .a. people have strong desire to readb. governments hope to reform educationc. governments want to co
