The first thing I noticed was the hundreds of makeshift sleeping quarters (临时住宿区) mapped out on the gym floor. The second thing I noticed was a big smile

20、 on the face of a man.It made me feel surprised. How could he smile? I wondered, given that he is now homeless and has just lived through the unimaginable times. I wanted to interview him and know more about this man. I asked my translator and he was introduced to me as Ken Minato, a 67-year-old fis

21、herman.Ken is warm and welcoming. His handshake was strong and firm. Then, he started to share his story. When the tsunami happened, he was at work in a fishing office with a beautiful ocean view.The water came in and his workmates went to check on the boats. It was the last time he would see his fr

22、iends.Ken ran up into the hills. He watched as the water rushed through the walls of his office. He talked about people running to a place that had been thought to be safe. The tsunami then destroyed there too. What the tsunami didnt destroy, fire later did.I asked Ken why he could still keep smilin

23、g.“I have to live on,” he said, “so I have to smile.

They teach each other things and they look after each other. Tip has helped Brendan beco

26、me more responsible and more caring. Brendan is a nine-year-old boy, and Tip is a ten-year-old dog. Brendan and Tip are an example of how owning a dog can have a good effect on a childs development.Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of t

27、he animals daily needs. The dog must be fed and exercised every day. A dog is completely dependent on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. Furthermore, the owner must take responsibility for the safety of the people it comes into contact with. If th

28、e child forgets any of these duties and responsibilities, or turns a blind eye to any of the dogs needs, the dog will suffer (遭罪). This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire (欲望) to play with his toys, talk on the phone, on watch TV. This is true not

29、only for the care of a dog, but also for the care of oneself, another person, or ones job.Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is empathy, the ability to put oneself in another persons, or in this case another creatures situation and imagine that persons or creatures feelings or p

30、roblems. A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn how to interpret its behaviour. The child must learn to understand what the dogs behaviour means. Is the dog frightened, hungry or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dogs mind. Understanding a situatio

31、n from the dogs point of view helps the child understand why the dog is behaving in a certain way and what the dog needs. The result of learning to read a dogs behaviour is that the child develops empathy. This leads to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person.These are some of the mo

32、st important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits (好处) of owning a dog will last the childs whole lifetime and will help him or her grow into a reliable (可靠的) and caring adult.54.Which of the following may help children to be more responsible?A. Giving the dog food every other day.B. Stoppi

33、ng the dog from hurting people.C. Turning a blind eye to the dogs needs.D. Putting his desire ahead of the dogs needs.55.The underlined word “empathy” in Paragraph 3 means the ability _.A. to learn from another personB. to take care of another personC. to share another persons feelingsD. to express

34、another persons feelings56.What is the passage mainly about?A. Lessons children learn from a dog.B. Advice on owning a dog for children.C. The relationship between children and dogs.D. The good effects on children of owning a dog.DOne thing that every good money manager does is make a budget (预算).Wh

35、at is a budget? Its a means of keeping track (轨迹) of exactly how much money is coming in and exactly how much money is going out. If you get an allowance (零用钱), you want to know how much money you have at any given time. You dont want to run out of money when you really need it.So, people make budge

36、ts.The most common way to make a budget is to write down every single expense and every single income. Here is an example:Mai-Lings Babysitting ServiceDateExpensesIncome613$20620$20627Bus fare $20So at the end of June, Mai-Ling has spent $20 but earned (赚取) $40. She has $20 left over.Now, this amoun

37、t of money is relatively small. Mai-Ling can easily count just how much money she is spending and taking in, so she can easily know that she has that $20 left over.But what about a large company, which has hundreds of expenses and many sources (来源) of income each month? That company especially needs

38、 to keep track of its money, going out and coming in, so the company can pay its bills.So large companies keep budgets, too. Here is an example:First National Toy CompanyDateExpensesIncome33$l,000310$1,200317$1,200324$1,500331Salaries（工资）$3,000$1,500331Rent（房租）$1,200331Electricity $800331Insurance（保

39、险）$950Total$5,950$ 6,400The toy company earned $6,400 in sales in March. The company paid out $5,950 in expenses. So, the company made $450 in March.Why is it a good idea to know all this? What if the company wanted to buy a new computer system and that new computer system cost $2,000? If the compan

40、y had only $450, then theyd have to buy the computer system by borrowing money.Also, if the company has a few more months like March, when income is more than expenses, then the company can plan ahead and save up enough money to buy that computer system, so the company doesnt have to borrow money.A

41、company will also keep a budget in order to see whether spending money on things like advertising is a good idea. Take a look at the graph (图表) below. It is the same as the one above, with one important addition: It has a line for advertising.First National Toy CompanyDateExpensesIncome33$1,000310$1

43、budget keeps you aware of how much money you have, whether its $20 or $20,000. Companies do it, and you can do it, too.57. Who is the passage written for?A. Ordinary people like you and me.B. Children who have got an allowance.C. Parents who want to educate their children.D. Company managers wanting

45、et helps us know how much we haveB. advertising should be based on sales and lossesC. we can manage money well by making a budgetD. making a budget helps us make more money60.
