Nearly 2/3 of dens and nearly 1/2 of cats receive a gift for their birthday and Christmas. Although pet owners care for their pets, only 20% of owners have taken out insurance(上保险) if their cat or clog needs expensive medical treatment. Andrew Goodsell, the CEO of Saga, the company that carried out the research, said, "We know that, for many, being with a beloved cat or dog can really make his/her life better. However, it's important that people should take out insurance to cover their pet when he/ she is ill or has an accident.

Y ou can't be positive all the time. How do you de it?" Michael replied, "Each morning, I wake up and say to myself 'Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.""Yeah, right. It isn't that easy," I replied. "Yes it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react(反应) to situations. Y ou choose how people will influence your mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live a life."Soon later, I left the big company that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life. Several years later, I heard Michael had a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a tower.I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?" I refused to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place."The first thing that went through my mind was my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." When the doctors and nurses wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on their faces, I got really scald. In their eyes, l read "He's a dead man." I knew I needed to take action, "I took a deep breath and shouted, "I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, hut also because of his amazing attitude (态度).49.

Attitude Is Everything(D)Times, August H1N1 is hitting the southern hemisphere (南半球) hard: Argentina has recorded more than 160 deaths from H1N1, second most after the U. S. That's because it's winter in the southern hemisphere, and flu infections (感染) tend to spread during the fall and winter months. So, WHO (World Health Organization) raised the global alert (warning) of H1N1 to the highest level.But cold temperatures aren't the only reason for the fluctuation (变动). No one has immunity(免疫力) to the new virus (病毒). That is to say we're likely to see very high infection rates. Most of us spend less time in the sun during the winter, and that means we might lack of vitamin D, leaving us open to any number of infections. And spending more time indoors can also put us in the line of infection for the flu, particularly if we share enclosed spaces with others. Students are gathering during the fall and winter in the northern hemisphere, and classrooms are excellent vectors (带菌者) of infection for nil illnesses, including the flu.Although so far the virus doesn't appear to here a much higher death rate than the usual seasonal flu, H1N1 is still spreading in the U.S., even during the summer-- chiefly in summer camps, where young people are spending a lot of time in close contact. That shows just how transmissible (可传染的) this new virus is: We're dry firewood, and H1N1 is the match. But the real test for H1N1 -- and for public-health officials who are planning their answer to it--will come in the fall and winter.52. According to the passage, H1N1 could spread easily in ________.A. spring and summerB. autumn and winterC. spring and autumnD. summer and winter53. What can we infer from the passage?A. H1N1 virus is hitting Argentina because it is hot there.B. H1N1 virus can be active for a longer time in the cold and dry air.C. We'd better stay at home instead of going out.D. H1N1 virus not only is transmissible, but also has high death rate.54. The last paragraph mainly wants to tell us ________.A. the death rate for H1N1 is highB. young people spend much time indoorsC. the challenge for H1N1 will come in winterD. H1N1 has been spreading in the United States学校_________ 班级__________ 姓名_________六、选择方框中的句子，补全对话。

Balancing all these aspects can be challenging, which is why effective time management is crucial. Time management refers to the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between various activities. It not only helps in improving productivity but also reduces stress and enhances overall well-being.For students, good time management skills can lead to better academic performance. By allocating specific time slots for studying, attending classes, and completing assignments, students can ensure that they cover all their syllabus requirements without last-minute cramming. This not only boosts their confidence but also allows them to have more free time to pursue hobbies or relax.Moreover, time management teaches discipline and responsibility. Whenstudents learn to prioritize their tasks and stick to their schedules, they develop a sense of accountability. This skill is invaluable in both academic and professional life, as it sets the foundation for punctuality, reliability, and meeting deadlines.In addition, effective time management can significantly reduce stress levels. Many students feel overwhelmed by their workload, leading to anxiety and burnout. By planning and organizing their time efficiently, students can break down their tasks into manageable chunks, making them less daunting. This approach not only makes studying more enjoyable but also helps maintain a healthy work-life balance.Lastly, good time management fosters independence. As students take charge of their schedules, they learn to make decisions about their priorities and how they want to spend their time. This autonomy encourages self-reliance and prepares them for the challenges of adulthood.In conclusion, time management is a vital skill for students to master. It not only aids in academic success but also promotes personal growth andwell-being. By incorporating time management techniques into their daily routines, students can lead more organized, productive, and fulfilling lives.Questions:1.What is the main idea of the passage?A.

It emphasizes the result of the action.•The present perfect continuous tense is used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still continuing at the present, or actions that have been going on for some time. It emphasizes the continuity or duration of the action.Explanation: The present perfect tense uses “have/has” followed by the past participle of the verb, while the present perfect continuous tense uses “have/has been” followed by the present participle of the verb. The present perfect tense is more about the completionof an action, while the present perfect continuous tense is about the ongoing nature of the action.2、How can you distinguish between the uses of “like” and “as” in a sentence?Answer: The uses of “like” and “as” can be distinguished based on the following guidelines:•“Like” is used to indicate similarity or comparison between two things or people.

We suggest placing clearly labeled recycling bins around the school and organizing workshops to educate students and staff about proper waste sorting.2.Energy Conservation: Transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar panels could drastically cut down on our carbon footprint. Additionally, switching off lights in unused classrooms and encouraging natural lighting use would conserve electricity.3.Green Spaces: Developing green spaces within the school grounds can enhance biodiversity and provide a tranquil environment for learning. Plantingtrees and creating a vegetable garden would also serve as practical lessons in biology and environmental science.Conclusion:Implementing these eco-friendly changes will not only contribute positively to the environment but will also instill a sense of responsibility among students towards conservation efforts. It is our collective duty to act now for a greener future, and I hope that you will consider our proposals seriously.Thank you for your consideration.Yours sincerely,[Your Name]President of the Environmental ClubAnalysis:The student has effectively communicated the importance of adoptingeco-friendly practices at school.

It helps in expressing emotions such as wishes, hopes, or fears and is often found in statements about conditions thatare not true, hypothetical situations, or imagined possibilities. For example, sentences like “If I were you, I would stay home” or “It is essential that she be here on time” use the subjunctive mood to express the speaker’s opinion or the importance of a condition.2.How does the idiom “hit the nail on the head” contribu te to the effectiveness of a sentence?答案：The idiom “hit the nail on the head” contributes to the effectiveness of a sentence by enhancing its clarity, conciseness, and the expression of an exact or accurate opinion.解析：The idiom “hit the nail on the head” means to express something that is exactly correct or precisely on target.
