Ive found out what they want and given it to them.When you get a new puppy, like a small baby, its pe

17、rsonality is already somewhat established. It may be a “ screamer” or a “cuddler (搂抱型)”or a quiet dog or an energetic dog. All puppies need sleep in massive (大量的) quantities. An energetic puppy will run around and suddenly fall down sound asleep. A quieter puppy will start to show signs of tiredness

18、, then find a place to fall asleep. A “ screamer” will scream for attention: Puppy cries and yelps (狗吠)， while a quiet puppy will usually give up and accept being put in a box. A “cuddler” will need your body, either your lap or next to you, to sleep soundly.Puppy language is very simple. It is like

19、 a babys cries. They cry when they are in need or in pain; in need of company, in need of food, in need of sleep, etc.As your dog grows, you should learn what they are saying to you, as they learn to take their cues(暗示) from you. If you rub(揉) your puppys stomach, and he likes it, he will learn to r

20、oll over and “ask” you for a stomach rub. Almost all dogs will “ask” to go out. In some cases, this consists of standing or jumping at a door.

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price o

24、f everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift$7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we we

25、re going under financially，” says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches.

32、le.CThe writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.Shakespeares work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400yearold version of English that is abou

33、t as inviting as toothache.Still, in British schools, it is compulsory to study the bard (诗人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment (憎恨) or both.This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of h

34、eart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if

35、they dont read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice being a_case_in_point. These popular adaptations may help increase peoples interest in the classics.Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may p

36、erhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeares actual play. If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone elses rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throw

37、ing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.44Which of the following is true according to the passage?AThe language used in classics is no longer in use today.BBritish students usually find compulsory reading dull.COnly those studying literature read

40、.CReaders should try to read the original versions.DReaders need to learn the language in the classics.DTraditionally poems would be recited and passed from poet to poet through the ages. It is only recently that poetry is something that one reads alone, rather than reciting to an audience. At some

41、point in the education of any student majoring in poetry, one will attempt to memorize a poem, and possibly recite it to someone else.Chances are that you have already memorized thousands of lines of verse in the form of lyrics. How did you memorize the lyrics of songs? You simply listened to songs

42、you liked over and over again until you almost couldnt help but have them memorized. Memorizing poetry isnt much different. You start with a poem you like, recite it to yourself over and over again, and you get to know it.One of the best aspects of learning a poem by heart is that you get to take a

43、poem inside of yourself. It becomes a part of you. When you memorize a poem, it is no longer just a poem, but yours. Its in your head, and you call it up from memory as you would in any other experience.Also, memorizing a poem is a great way to truly get to understand languages, and consider every p

44、hrase, line and word. You can practice varying the sounds, adding pauses and emphasis in different spots to try to find the most accurate tone for the poem. In a way, you never really know a poem until youve memorized it. Once you know it, youll be able to recite it, like a jazz musician improving(即
