Allen (not his real name) is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night,with stolen property in the back of his van.But Allen isn’t a criminal—in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.
The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash.Allen doesn’t particularly want Flash in fact,in a few hours he’ll drop him off at a stranger’s house and never see him again.“I couldn’t just stand by and do nothing,”he explains.“The owner was plainly neglecting (忽视) the dog,but the police wouldn’t do anything about it.”
For over a year,Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone’s house.“He was sick and weak,”says Allen.“More than once I saw the owner kick him for no reason at all.”Allen had repeatedly tried to get the owner to take better care of the animal,or to give it away to someone who would.Finally,he took matters into his own hands—in the dead of night,he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.
An hour later,Flash had a new license and he_was_treated_by_a_veterinarian_who_knew_better_than_to_ask_questions.
Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites,asking for someone to adopt the dog.A couple in New York offered to take the dog,and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.
Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are “rescued” every year;receiving stolen property is a crime,so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows.But a growing number of empty collars are because of their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.
小题1:Why did Allen steal the dog?
A.He liked the dog very much. |
B.He wanted to stop the dog being treated badly. |
C.He is a criminal who likes stealing dogs. |
D.Someone ordered him to do that. |
A.Finding a new owner for him. |
B.In the dead of night,taking him off his chain and drove away with him. |
C.Kicking him for no reason at all. |
D.Asking the owner to treat the dog better or give it to someone else. |
A.By putting advertisements on TV. |
B.By asking the Animals Protection Association for help. |
C.By asking for help on the Internet. |
D.By putting up signs on the street. |
A.The veterinarian had treated many animals that were mistreated by their owners. |
B.The veterinarian had once stolen some animals like Flash before. |
C.The veterinarian was Allen’s friend. |
D.The veterinarian was a learned man. |

Unfortunately,a number of students killed themselves.Others are after comfort in using drugs.Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime.Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents.Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way.Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers" work to help their children.To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools.These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams, they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students" hair to their clothes and things in their school bag.Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society.They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student.They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.

Kathy managed to 40 me. With fake optimism(乐观), she even tried to reassure(安慰)me that Perky would find a new 41 . But I was far too clever to 42 that such a thing was possible.
Forty years later, I watched my own 43 growing. We shared their activities, spending soccer Saturdays in folding chairs with the 44 of the kids’ friends, the Kissells. The two families went camping around Arizona together. We became the 45 of friends. One evening, the game was to tell Great Pet stories. One person claimed(宣称)to 46 the oldest living goldfish. Someone else had a psychic dog. 47 Barry, the father of the other family, took the floor and 48 that the Greatest Pet of All Time was his blue parakeet, Sweetie Pie.
"The best thing 49 Sweetie Pie," he said, "was the 50 we got him. One day, when I was about eight, out of the clear, blue sky, a little blue parakeet just 51 down and landed on my finger."
When I was finally able to 52 , we examined the amazing evidence(证据). The dates, the locations and the pictures of the bird all 53 . It seems our two families had been 54 long before we ever met. Forty years later, I ran to my sister and said, "You were 55 ! Perky lived!"

“Our study shows people who spend more time on Facebook spend less time studying,” said Aryn Karpinski, a researcher. “Every generation has its distractions(娱乐), but I think Facebook is a unique phenomenon.” Karpinski and a colleague questioned 219 US undergraduates and graduates about their study and general Internet use, as well as their specific use of Facebook. They found 65% of Facebook users accessed their account daily, checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The amount of time spent on Facebook at each log-in(登录) varied from just a few minutes to more than an hour.
Some UK students have already realized the potential danger. Daisy Jones, 21, an undergraduate, realized the time she was spending on Facebook was threatening her grades, urging her to deactivate(使无效) her account, “I was in the library and tried to write a 2,000-word essay when I realized my Facebook habit had got out of hand,” she said. “I couldn’t resist going online, when thinking about it. Before you know it , a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a word.”
Jones is among the few to have realized the risks. 79% of the users, however, believed the time they spent on the site had no impact on their work. The CEO of Facebook said, “There is also academic research that shows the benefits of services like Facebook. It’s in the hands of students to decide how to spend their time.”

After all,the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights.But some experts have said it might not be so wise to take the company directly to court.
Qiu Baochang,a lawyer in Beijing,suggested that consumers not take the company directly to court.“In addition to the high costs,consumers’complaints are unlikely to win unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC,”—Qiu explained.
One problem for those wanting to take action against the fast food chain is that few customers ask for or keep receipts(收据).And,this must be the first step.
If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC,they can cue(控告)the company.But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan I damage is a long-term effect and is not immediately apparent.
A KFC spokesperson said on Monday that the company was confdent of being able to handle customers’complaints,“We will obey legal procedure if We raceive any complaints.”
小题1:Why did KFC’s Beijing restaurants pull three more items from their menus?
A.Because the company was afraid to handle customers’complaints. |
B.Because coloring Sudan I may have been contained in those items. |
C.Because the KFC’s restaurants were accused ofselling poisonous food to the customers. |
D.Because these items were no longer popular with the customers. |
A.the costs will be high |
B.consumers can’t prove food contained Sudan I |
C.consumers can’t prove the food at KFC damaged their health |
D.all of the above |
A.a notice. |
B.a book on cooking. |
C.a story book. |
D.a newspaper. |
A.KFC’s Beijing restaurants pulled three items from their menus last week. |
B.How the consumers dealt with the KFC problem. |
C.How KFC handled the customers’s complaints. |
D.Consumers never forget to ask for or keep receipts. |
“It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis’ green ideas, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997.
“It’s better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate. “ It feels so free.”
“This is something out of the ordinary, you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin,” said another traveler.
In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India"s backward past.
Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city"s road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
小题1:Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
A.Delhi, Berlin, Paris. | B.Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi. |
C.Athens, London, Berlin. | D.Berlin, Amsterdam, London. |
A.They are a reminder of a bad period in India"s history. |
B.They have been banned because they are inefficient. |
C.The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily. |
D.Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer. |
Bangkok instead of Berlin" suggest?
A.The passenger didn"t like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok. |
B.The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok. |
C.The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual. |
D.The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin. |
A.He gives no personal opinion. |
B.He believes they will be of no use. |
C.He thinks they will reduce pollution. |
D.He thinks they are old-fashioned. |
