My family and I met it at a dog show. We drove for four hours to its owners house where she showed us three little dogs, two males and one female. They were so lovely with their little legs, long bodies and heads that looked too big for their bodies. It took me a long time to decide which one I wanted, but I finally decided when the female came up to me and licked (舔) my face. My mother and I took Dion to a kindergarten (幼稚园) for little dogs. She was very shy and hid from people. But she was very friendly with the other dogs. If you want to get a dog, think about your time and the work you must do. I walk Dion four to six times a day. I feed her, spend time with her and watch her when she is out of her doghouse. Even if my favorite TV program is on, or a good part in a movie is coming up, I still have to take care of her. It is a lot of work to keep her clean. Sometimes when I brush her I end up with hair all over me. But I think it is all worth it. Dion also gives her love to me in return. She is always there to lick me and lie on me. I like playing with her. I think she can tell when I am happy, sad, angry or troubled. Dion is not only my dog, but she is also my friend.What does Dion look like? What doesnt the writer often do to look after the dog?A. Walk the dog B. Brush the dog C. Touch the dog D. Feed the dogParagraph 4 tells us that keeping a dog is a _ job.A. hard B. funny C. popular D. dirtyHomework is a big part of going to school. Unluckily, homework has to be done, outside classduring times when you would probably much rather be doing something else, for example, you prefer going to a birthday party to copying out a whole Chinese text. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less work. First, be sure you understand the task. Write it down in your notebook if you need to, and dont be afraid to ask questions about whats expected. If you want, you can also ask how long the special homework task should take to finish, so you can budget your time.Second, use any small pieces of time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have study halls that allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school means the less youll have to do that night.What if you dont have time in school to get homework done? Youll need to think about how much homework you have for a given night and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If its a heavy homework day and it seems like you got a task in every subject but gym and lunch, youll need to spend more time on homework. Its a good idea to come up with some kind of homework timetable, especially if you enjoy sports or activities or have an afterschool job. 52. Usually, students dont like_ very much outside class. A. playing sports outsideB. having birthday parties C. asking any questionsD. copying out a text 53.Whats the meaning of the word budget in Paragraph Two？A. PlanB. SaveC. WasteD. Kill.54. Thewriteradvisesyouto _ ifthehomeworkisheavyA. dolesshomeworkatnightB. finishothersubjectsfirstC. comeupwithspecialsportsD. makeahomeworktimetableReading is very important to help you learn English.

For example, there is an informal letter between friends.Ellen Sims is an 18-year-old college student. She has an important exam tomorrow morning. Ellen is going to study all night. Many college students, like Ellen, do this often. They think they can study all night. And they think that in the morning, they will remember everything that they studied the night before. Ellen thinks that this is a good way to study, but many doctors disagree. They say that sleep is very important for memory and brain development. Scientists in Harvard Medical School studied sleep and memory. They studied 24 people. First, they asked the people to look at the picture and remember it. At night, they put the people in two groups of 12. Group One went to sleep. Group Two did not. A few days later, the scientist showed some picture to both groups. They asked the people to find the picture they saw before. The people in Group One did well. But the people in Group Two did not well. It wasnt easy for them to remember the picture. What happened? Scientists say that sleep helps our memory. After we learn something new, sleep helps us remember it. And when we dont sleep, we can forget new things. Scientists say that many teenagers, like Ellen, sleep too little. They go to school and they work, too. They also spend time with their friends. They are always busy and they think that sleep doesnt matter. But scientists say the brains of teenagers are still developing, and sleep is a very important part of the development. When teens sleep less than six hours, they cant think clearly. That is not very helpful for a student who is taking an exam.75. Is Ellen going to study all night before the history exam?76. Who studied sleep and memory?77. How many people were there in each group for this study?78. Why did Group One remember the picture better?79. What can we learn from the passage?一、根据首字母,补全单词1.
