We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owners home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didnt know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈).

They know the eight-year-old pug is Bugsy, a local star whose owner, David Yew, taught the guy, er, dog to surf.Yew, 39, got the idea while he and Bugsy were walking on the beach and came upon a statue of a surfer. Yew put the dog down on the surfboard to take a photo, and the scene looked so natural that Yew was inspired to take the next step. Soon enough, the two were together surfing.“The first time we paddled out,” Yew says, “Bugsy ran right to the front of the board.”The two ride a 3.35m, rubber-filled long board. “It gives Bugsy a better hold,” Yew says. He loves the water and dog-paddles so well that Yew has trouble keeping up.Bugsy wasnt always so energetic. Two days after Yew, a doctor of emergency medicine, adopted the 12-week-old puppy from a shelter, Bugsy came down with a bad cough, which progressed to pneumonia(肺炎).

In order to help you deal with that annoying problem, “Cleaners Bermondsey” provides the following cleaning tips on how to get rid of sweat stains. The good thing is that you can use them for stains removal as well.HYDROGEN PEROXIDETake a hydrogen peroxide(过氧化氢) that is either 2 or 3 percent solution. Pour a few teaspoons onto the stained area of white clothing only. Then rub it into the area well and let it sit for about half an hour. After that, launder as usual. Do not do this to colored clothes, because it will damage the color.BORIC ACIDA great cleaning solution for any color fabric is 20 Mule Team Borax. Prepare a paste with the boric acid(硼酸) and water and apply it to the stained area. Gently rub it into and leave it like that for about half an hour. Scrub the area with a brush or sponge and launder as usual.WHITE VINEGARApply some vinegar onto the stain and gently rub it into. Let it sit for about half an hour and then clean as you usually do.LEMON JUICEAlternatively, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the stain or use the bottled lemon juice. If you choose to use that approach, gently rub the lemon juice into the stain, allow it to sit for about half an hour. Then clean as normal. You can also pour the lemon juice onto it and hang the shirt in the sun. The sun may help to get the stain out and the acid in the lemon juice helps.ASPIRINPrepare a paste from crushed aspirin tablets dissolved (溶解) in water. Then apply it to the stained area. Gently rub it into, and let it sit on the shirt for about half an hour.8. Which of the following is TRUE of the cleaning tips?A. The longer aspirin stays on the stain, the better.B.

Now, at last, the idea has attracted the attention of the government.84-year-old Jim Kelly, winner of an Adult Learners Week Award in 2010, has devoted himself to a wide range of study in recent years everything from gardening to the 1688 Glorious Revolution. After school days disappointed by poverty and bullying teachers, the force to study came from his two-year-old granddaughter Becky who grew frustrated with his inability to answer her questions. “Dont you know anything granddad?” she would ask. Now, 14 years later, he tells the teenager hes pleased that she asked that question.Melissa March is the executive director of Learning for the Fourth Age, a charity that aims to bring trained volunteers into care settings where they provide educational and learning services to weak old people. “Our volunteers help people with everything from recovering piano-playing after strokes (中风) to studying Welsh for the first time,” she explains. “There is lots of interest too in IT and the connections that email can bring. Our work helps break down old peoples fears about young people and opens our volunteers eyes to the lives of old people with very different experiences from their own.”Such improvements bring genuine happiness, as 78-year-old Londoner Maria Tolly found. In 1989, health problems spelled an end to her career, until specialist music technology courses at Morley College and the City Lit restored her work to making music. “I was concerned that I might be sidelined, but actually studying at both institutions has proved that age is not important. I feel so connected to life thanks to a combination of forgetting myself and realizing how much I still have to learn. I want to remain active for my own health,” she recalls. Soon she had music commissions ranging from after-school dance groups to composing a song for the 100th anniversary of her local park. “I am now becoming interested in music videos and I am looking for cooperators,” she says.12. What inspired Jim Kelly to study at the age of 70?A. Being unable to get others respect.B. His interest in gardening and history.C. His granddaughters disappointment.D. His strong curiosity.13. The work that volunteers do at Learning for the Fourth Age _.A. reminds us to care about young peopleB. focuses on the teaching of advanced technologyC. helps patients of all ages recover from their diseaseD. increases the understanding between old people and young people14. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. the government has always attached great importance to lifelong learningB. forgetting oneself is the key in lifelong learningC. the 78-year-old Londoner,Maria Tolly, regained her involvement in musicD. Maria has made many music videos and is famous in her community15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Volunteering Helps People Live HealthilyB. Learn Something Whenever It Is PossibleC. Lifelong Learning Is Popular Among Old PeopleD. Lifelong Learning Is the Key to Happiness in Old Age(E)Embarrassing yourself in a social situation is the stuff of nightmares(噩梦).Several years ago, while waiting in the hall of a hotel for a friend, Miriam Silverberg talked with a young receptionist, who was wearing a flowing shirt.“She told me she hated her lob, her boss and her co-workers,” Silverberg says.“So I comforted her, saying that I didnt think shed be there much longer. She asked why and I said, Well, once the baby is born, wont you be taking maternity leave(产假)？ She said in a very injured tone, But Im not married yet.”Eight years ago, Scott Stratten was talking to his wife about that days performance review.

Excited, he wrote her an e-mail saying, “Honey, not only did the idiots(白痴)not fire me, but they gave me a raise!” He then mindlessly selected his bosss e-mail address and sent him the message.Stratten realized the mistake almost immediately he did so. Stratten says, “I felt so stupid that I even did the Ill try and press the computer cable so the message wont get through move.” He was then certain he was going to get fired, especially when he saw his boss coming up. “He laughed and said, That was a good one, man! and kept walking.
