A dog can be a good friend to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, it can cause you a lot of trouble. Families should sit down and discuss the problems before buying a dogEven if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog，the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared forIf you dont know much about dogs，its a good idea to go to the library for books about different kinds of dogs，as well as books about how to train a young dog. Dogs of different kinds change in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd(牧羊犬). This is because it provides protection. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children, If your house is not big, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They dont need to be walked daily.1. According to the passage, who should take care of the dog? A. Children. B. Parents. C. Family. D. Friends.2. The writer suggests one can get information about the different kinds of dogs_. A. by reading books about dogs B. by buying a dog from a pet shop C. by watching dogs in a zoo D. by asking some friends3. The passage is mainly about_. A. how to take care of dogs B. different kinds of books about dogs C. how to choose the right dogs for family pets D. different kinds of dogs BWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology(生物技术). With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Todays leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories. In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones. It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.4According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by _.Adiseases and aging Baccidents and warCaccidents and aging Dheart disease and war5In the authors opinion，todays most important advance in technology lies in _.Amedicine Bthe Internet Cbrain cells Dhuman organs6Humans may live longer in the future because _.Aheart disease will be far away from usBhuman brains can decide the final deathCthe basic materials of cells will last foreverDhuman organs can be repaired by new medicine7How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?AOver 100 years. BMore than 120 years.CAbout 150 years. DThe passage doesnt tell us.CIn 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营) other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches.Today McD ds is really a household name. In 1976, McDonalds had over $ l billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising success stories in modern American business history.8.

Ray Krocs business talent9. Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except _.A. a drive-in B. a theater C. a cinema D. a barbecue restaurant10. We may infer from this passage that _.A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc.B. the place the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-inC. forty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurantsD. Ray Kroc was a good businessman11. The passage suggests that _.A. creativity is an important element of business successB. Ray Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothersC.
