They can actually be quite lazy!Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distancerun-ning. They do need re

24、gular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and thenget back on thebed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive（好斗的） because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 1214 years but

25、 usually only race for two or three years, and afterthatthey make great pets. They donlot for their size.Normally, greyhoundsgreyhound,tneed a lot of space, don t make a lot of noise, and dont eat acan be as tallas 90 cm.Thereis , however,a small-sizedwhich stands only 33 cm.

26、riety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common.

30、or Christmas. I stopped at a gas station( 加油站 ) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台 ), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when bla

31、ck smoke poured from the back of my car. Istopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spokento at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into thecity, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his busi

32、ness card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward,I received aChrist-mas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I ret

I walked over andfound two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?”I asked and explained my troubl

34、e. They quickly drove apickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so whenI got home, I wrotethem a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you” t

35、wo powerful words.

38、ksCA study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on ar-rival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficult-t

39、ies in writing papers that they were nowexpected to hand in. Readingremained as a significant（显著的） problem.The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation （动机）, we

40、 considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. T

41、herefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining （保持） or increasing motivation. Sev-eral years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about hal

42、fway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.65 What is the text mainly about?A Foreign students have more problems.B There are many ways to improve English.C Teaching should meet students needs.D En

43、glish learning problems should be studied again.66 Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students _.A had to write their papersB became better at speakingC became less interested in readingD had fewer problems with listening67 We may infer from the last two paragraphs that _.A different teach

44、ing methods should be usedB grammar-based teaching seems to be encouragingC English courses are necessary for foreign studentsD teaching content should be changed halfway68 The word “it ”underlined in the last paragraph refers to“_”.Are-thinkB activityC motivationD timetableDSince my retirement( 退休

45、) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought backmemories of him. In any case, I dre

46、w pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画 ) much influ-enced( 影响 ) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and redis

47、covered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the artbooks I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought goodwatercol-ors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried outmany other types of

48、painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, andI think I didmy best work there,showing my painting at a number of art exhibitions.Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in myworld, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to

49、do.
