His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like Hey Porter”, “Ring of Fire”, and “Folsom Prison Blue”.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear-and what they see，too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. Hes a two-hundred-pound pack-age of muscle aria talent. And that scar on his cheek? Its a bullet hole，of course!In the minds of most people. Johnny Cash is“Mr. Tough (violent) Guy” Hes an ex-drug addict who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that- a story. True，years ago he had a “drug habit” for a short time. He popped pills. But he never used heroin or other hard drugs. Sometimes hed go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. Theres no Indian blood in his veins. Hes been a killer only in song. As for the “bullet hole”, it s an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst.People who know Johnny Cash well say hes a“gentle guy”, a “generous guy”-anything but a “tough guy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them like the story about the “Indian grandmother”，he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others，like the“bullet hole, simply got started. Now theres little the singer can do to change people s minds. “they just want to believe it,” he says.56. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many _A. opera lovers B. country music fansC. hard-rock fans D. jazz music lovers57. In truth，Johnny Cash _.A. invented the Indian grandmother B. used to kill rabbits for a livingC. had a bullet hole on his cheekD. served a long prison sentence58. In his private life，Johnny Cash is _A. much wilder than he looks B. much smaller than he is on stageC. much tougher than he is in publicD. much more gentle than most people suppose59. The passage shows us that many people believe _.A. only what they see B. what they are sure is trueC. only what they hearD. what they find interestingBDo dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee（黑猩俱lIn one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20groups 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 10 tests，suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination. 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！60. From paragraph 2 we know that _.A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children61Both experiments show that _ A.

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.63. What does the writer want to tell us?A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog.C. To be friendly to your dog.D. To be careful with your dog.CPaynes PrairieHave you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large，21,000acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manages the preserve.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh（沼泽）and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water,During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land. It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employeesWilliam Bartram visited Paynes Prairie. Bartram was the first person who portrayed（described）nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the great Alachua Savannah.”Most of the animal life, which Bartram described，is still here. A large number of sand hill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flat woods，hammock，swamps and ponds.The Pavnes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the Park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history.

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill，which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase ,the effect of painful memories.In November., experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced，not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argume
