Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists’ (专家) advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense.
Different dogs were developed to perform specific tasks. So, you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote (投入) a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely.
Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where they feel secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The first consideration in buying a dog is whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

Computers have become important for many reasons. They work faster than humans and make fewer mistakes. They can “remember” huge amounts of information. A computer can solve millions of problems in a few seconds. A person might need years to solve the same number of problems.
Computers are used in nearly every kind of work. Police use them to check on stolen cars. Companies use them to keep track of supplies. Planes and trains are guided by computers. So are telephone calls and traffic lights. Small computers are being used in schools and homes. In 1981 there were about 30,000 computers in our classrooms. Today there are over 700,000 computers in our classrooms.
The use of computers is growing. More computers will mean more jobs for many people. People will be needed to run and repair them.

Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills. Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list, and following a few simple rules will cut down the grocery bill.
Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after a larg e meal. If that’s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list. Most shoppers are less tempted to buy extras when they are not bothered by hunger.
Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important factor in saving money, shoppers must prepare lists wisely in order to save. A carefully planned list should include in-season produce and any items on sale or discounted through coupons. Many special buys are announced through the local newspapers, so buying the “grocery issue” is worth the investment. However, it’s important to remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list, it’s time to leave for the store. However, no preparations are complete without a pocket calculator or a piece of paper and pencil to figure costs.
Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money should follow a few more rules. The shopper should not stay longer than necessary, because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill. Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the shopping list and resist impulses to buy additional items. If the grocery list is a short one, some shoppers resist impulse buying by using the small hand-held basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.
1. In this passage, the author intends to state that it is advisable for a shopper to ________.（）
A. eat a big meal before visiting the grocery store
B. save time by including more items on the grocery list
C. find something healthy for meals in the grocery store
D. eat less than usual before going to grocery
2. In the third paragraph, “grocery issue” refers to . （）
A. the product on sale
B. the quality of grocery
C. a grocery list
D. a kind of advertisement
3. It can be inferred from the passage that buying through coupons .（）
A. can make shoppers spend more money than usual
B. is always a shopper’s wise decision
C. may be a seller’s trick to cheat customers
D. is good for a store to sell out old goods
4. According to the writer, at the store some shoppers .（）
A. use a big grocery cart to save shopping time
B. control the costs by using baskets to hold the groceries
C. stay for a while to have a final check on the grocery list
D. make the best use of time to hunt for cheaper items

109. Now comes July, and with it examinations; but these are soon finished and with them ends the school year. Boy s and girls have nearly two months’ holiday before them as they leave school by train and car to return home to their fathers and mothers.
The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that one can s pend most of one’s time playing in the garden or, if one lives in the country, out in the woods and fields. Even if one lives in a big town, one can usually go to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday, however, is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea, but for the others who do not, a week or two at one of the big seaside towns is something which they will talk about for the whole of the following year.
In England, it is not only the rich who can take their children to the seaside; if a factory worker or a bus driver, a street cleaner or a waiter wants to take his wife and children to Southend or Margate, Blackpool or Clacton, he is usually quite able to do so.
Now, what is it that children like so much about the seaside? I think it is the sand, sea and sun more than any other things. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feeling of sand under one’s feet, of salt water on one’s skin, and of the warm sun on one’s back that makes the seaside what it is.
1. Summer holidays start _________.（）
A. with July
B. as soon as the examinations are over
C. in mid-June
D. in August
2. After the examination, all pupils leave for home ________.（）
A. by train only
B. by air
C. by bike
D. by either train or car
3. The summer holiday lasts _______.（）
A. as long as two months
B. more that two months
C. one and a half months
D. a little less than two months
4. July and August are the brightest months for most children, for they can _______.（）
A. stay with their parents for all the vacation
B. do more reading
C. play out of doors
D. meet their old friends
5. Children like the seaside so much because they can _______.（）
A. swim in the sea
B. play with the sand
C. take a sun bath
D. do all of the above

No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes.
Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.
