My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up one of Dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl,” she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course, shed let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when wed be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.41. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A. Look at them sadly. B. Keep them company. C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.42.

Which of the following best describes Brownie?A. Shy. B. Polite. C. Brave. D. Caring.( B)Sometimes people call each other scared-cat, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense（紧张的）, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger-or hit somebody-and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isnt always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that its smarter always to hide(藏) our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop. It can actually be bad for your health. ( It isnt good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed. )Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long youd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are youd see little fruit flies flying all over them. Theyd be rotten(腐烂).You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.46. The best title for this article is_.A.

It was my mothers idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With lots of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly seen, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.

It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade(说服) them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” She replied, “you will become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember.
