Many people like traveling, but they cannot take their dogs wherever they go. Some people let their dogs stay alone at home while others ask someone else to take care of their pets. If you’re leaving your beloved pet at home for a holiday, it can turn into a bad experience. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about your dogs anymore because Rover can cover for you while you are on leave. Rover is the latest service to offer at?home dog boarding. It’s a good alternative (替代物) to boarding your dog at a dog boarding kennel (狗舍) or your neighbor’s house.

The way Rover works is sort of like Airbnb. Dog owners surf the Rover website or app for pet sitters (照看者), which can be organized by zip code (邮政编码) and available dates. Information of pet sitters is provided, complete with many reviews, specific services and rates. Now Rover has over 25,000 pet sitters in more than 5,000 US cities. And they’re all experienced pet sitters.

After finding someone that meets your needs, just send messages to the pet sitter to arrange a meeting. Then, like Rover says, all that is left to do is relax! Rover’s pet sitters are encouraged to send text and picture information throughout the day, and if there’s a medical emergency, the site will send a vet (兽医). Besides, don’t worry about a pet sitter who fails to help you, because someone else will soon take his or her place.

Happy doggie, happy travels—that sounds good to us. To learn more about Rover, click here.

Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C..

And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.

“It’s very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”

But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can——if you’re an animal.

“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “That’s part of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”

Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.

So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves——a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.

Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo’s giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,” Smith said.

24. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?

A. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.

B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.

C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.

D. Because an earthquake had happened.

25. According to Brandie Smith,_____________.

A. many animals’ hearing is sharp

B. earthquakes produce two types of waves

C. primates usually gather together before a quake

D. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake

26. Which animal seems unable to sense quake?

A. A giant panda.

B. A flamingo.

C. A lemur.

D. A lizard.

27. What is the best title for the passage?

A. How animals survive a quake

B. How animals differ from humans

C. How animals behave before a quake

D. How animals protect their young in a quake

Daily News---San Francisco chef Cecilia Chiang, who first changed the stereotypes (刻板印象) about Chinese cuisine in the United States, died Wednesday. She was 100.

Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity (名人) chefs were popularized.

Chiang, who was born near Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although she wasn't shy about admitting her good fortune, she faced other, perhaps more hard-won obstacles (困难).To convince the dining public that Chinese food didn't have to be Thursday's cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her, when she moved to the Bay Area in 1959. She insisted on showing diners the refined side of Chinese food and wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be aware of aesthetics（美学）.

The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mien, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early encounter with Chinese food in America had left her determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.

“She deliberately and constantly supported outsiders trying to make their mark in food,” her granddaughter, Siena Chiang said. “I hope she is a signal and an inspiration to people with marginalized (边缘化的) identities to always believe in your own worth and knowledge, and not to give into other cultures.”

28. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Celilia brought real Chinese food to America.

B. Celilia opened a game-changing restaurant in San Francisco.

C. Celilia, a great chef of Chinese cuisine, died at the age of 100.

D. Celilia, a chef celebrity.

29. Which of following can best replace the underlined phrase “had her work cut out ”?

A. Cut her work into small parts.

B. Had lots of work to do.

C. Reached out for help.

D. Was out of her job.

30.What did Celilia Chiang do to change Americans’ impression on Chinese cuisine?

A. To be an aesthetician.

B. To stop offering takeout food on Thursday.

C. To serve chop suey or chow mien.

D. To improve the Chinese dining experience.

31. What can we learn from Sienna Chiang’s words?

A. Celilia encouraged outsiders to value their own culture.

B. Celilia is a signal and an inspiration to Americans.

C. Celilia adjusted Chinese food according to American culture.

D. Celilia competed with outsiders in making their mark in food.

“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children’s development, according to new research. Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons—in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs—enable children to talk quicker than others.

In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their children’s behaviors but failed to actually increase babies’ vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movement—born in the United States—which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.

Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a child’s intelligence.

But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think ‘if I don’t do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’.”

Nevertheless, baby signing experts hardly sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn’t say it if they didn’t believe it.”

32. Which of the following may help improve children’s language skills?

A. Using simple words and phrases.

B. Talking to them as much as possible.

C. Buying them more books and DVDs. D Creating a serious home environment.

33. According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that________.

A. they are influenced by others

B. they are sure of the effects of them

C. they don't want to be looked down upon

D. they don't know how to teach their children

34. The underlined word “sustained” in the last paragraph means “ ”.

A. dislike

B. resist

C. approved of

D. figured out

35. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. How to teach children to communicate effectively.

B. Baby signing classes increase children’s intelligence.

C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.

D. Baby signing classes fail to improve children’s language skills.

It is always said that China is the homeland of tea, which has a very long history of tea. 36 However, unlike the western custom of using a convenient teabag, Chinese go to a lot of effort and time to prepare good tea for their guests, using tea-leaves, natural spring water and a special kettle etc. to create worldwide famous tea culture. Tea is not just a drinkable beverage (饮料), but also a taste of Chinese traditional culture and inheritance (继承) of spirit. Unsurprisingly, there are various tea-leaves in China. 37 ?Color

38 Good green tea-leaves have jade green with fresh vitality. Twisted pan green tea shows glossy gray green. If some of the tea-leaves have dry, dark and brown color, it means it is old tea. If the leaves have mixed, large contrast colors, it is believed that the tea is mixed with yellow leaves, old leaves and even old tea, which does not live up to the standard of good tea.

?Flavor

New tea is extremely clear and transparent with strong aroma (芳香), while old tea is characterized by brown color and weak fragrance. Take green tea and black tea for example, new green tea tastes a little bitter first, and then the fresh sweet taste begins to surface gradually, leaving a long and memorable aftertaste in mouth. 39

?Place of origin

There is great gap of quality among various places of origin. 40 For example, it is well-known that Yunnan produces the best quality Pu’er tea and premium Oolong tea can be found within Fujian Province.

A. Every tea-leaf has its own shape.

B. Some varieties are identified by tightness of the leaves.

C. It is always advised to select tea from its main producing areas.

D. While you’re selecting tea, you should pay attention to following aspects.

E. For foreigners in China, drinking tea may seem like a simple refreshment.

F. Generally, new tea-leaves look fresh and pleasing, with light green or dark green.

G. On the contrary, if bitter taste takes the lead and fresh sweet taste subsides, it is bad tea.

Ella had two exams that day-physics and history. She really hated physics. It was her

worst subject.Terry looked at her, and then looked away quickly. Ella thought Terry looked

pleased,because She didn't have a problem with physics, she didn't have a problem with anything···Miss Perfect(完美）！

＂I thought we were friends, but she hasn't spoken to me for two weeks now. she promised to help me go over for the physics exam too, but then she's forgotten all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum just told me she was busy.”Ella thought angrily. At that moment ,Mr. Reed asked all the students into the exam room.

Ella couldn't answer some physics questions. Suddenly she saw Terry sitting two rows in front of her. Ella couldn't believe it! Terry was holding her phone on her knee under the table and reading from it. Is that how Terry always got such good grades? She felt really angry at Terry, and thought about telling the teacher, but··· “Stop writing, ”said Mr. Reed and started to collect the exam papers. Oh no, Ella hadn't answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again!

Ella wanted to talk to Terry at lunchtime, but she couldn't find her anywhere. Ella went to the library to prepare for the history exam,which was her favorite. But she couldn't concentrate. "Unfair! Terry was getting good grades by cheating all that time."She thought about telling a teacher,but everyone would hate her if she did that. Just then,Mr. Reed walked past her table.“Mr. Reed··.”

Ella was sitting behind Terry again in the history exam that afternoon. Mr. Reed wanted her to look at Terry and agreed if she saw that Terry was cheating in the exam.

During exams I was reading texts from my mum to see how it was going.I have explained to Mr. Read and he asked me to take the exam again. I’m sorry I didn’t

tell you what was happening.” Ella couldn’t help crying, either. “You should have told me this earlier. Let me know if you have difficulties.We are true friends.”
