Every time my friends visit me, my nose is buried in a book. Wherever I go, I always have a book with me. Novels, history books, stories about people, journals and newsI read them all and Ive learnt a lot, too. For example, many things in life happen for the best even if we dont like or understand them. Why is reading such an enjoyable pastime for me? I probably first learned about it from my parents. My mother read to me at night in my childhood and bought me picture books. The greatest gift she has given me is a love for reading. And it will be a life-long habit. No one ever asked me why I liked to read. They just saw me and asked, “Oh? Is that for school work?” And I just shook my head, “No. Its just for fun.” While reading a good book, I can totally forget myself and fly to another world. Its like exploring through someones eyes, which is just as exciting as watching a movie. Reading is also necessary in order to learn about writing, to improve my use of words and phrases and broaden my knowledge. What a pity to see our imagination disappear, for we dont exercise it often. Reading can even be good for ones health, I think. Everyone should read sad stories that make us cry and also books with humor that make us laugh out loud!1. In the fourth paragraph, the author thinks reading can _.A. make his parents happy B. improve writing and broaden knowledgeC. finish his school work D. help him understand some movies2. If we dont use our imagination often, _.A. it is bad for our health B. we will soon learn how to write C. it will soon disappear D. it will help us to have a good rest3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Why do I have few friends?B. What are my life habits?C. Why do things happen for the best? D. Why do I love reading?BDo dogs understand us? Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. A border collie（边境牧羊犬）named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination (排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!4. From paragraph 2 we know that _ . A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsC. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesD. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children5. Both experiments show that .A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsC. Rico can recognize different things including toysD. Rico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them6. Which of the following statements is true?A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collies mental abilities.B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D. Rico is born to understand its owners commands.7. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog.C. To be careful with your dog. D. To be friendly to your dog.CHearst Castle is a palatial(宫殿式) park on the central California coast and a National Historic Landmark.

It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one？Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks overobstacleson the way. It is just because of Bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds，but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy (理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”Another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.12.
