is wonderful. "He"s my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son. He moves around buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.
Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life
according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people.
This level of care costs money.
People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren"t surprised to find that owning a dog means yet
more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep
their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a
dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and
even life premium for their dog.
In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official
explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
B. Tom is her child
C. Tom is her dog
D. Tom often falls ill
B. pay for damage done by dogs
C. provide medical care for dogs
D. buy insurance for dog owners
B. medical check
C. entertainment expense
D. protection fee
B. The owner of the dog.
C. The insurance company.
D. The government.
B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble
C. many car accidents are caused by dogs
D. people care much about dogs.
The meaning of the word "volunteer " may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means "
one who offers his or her services."There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of
what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta（加尔各答）. The following is her story.
"I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human
being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I
flew to Calcutta for a few weeks."
"I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better
to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very
much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."

newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700"s the world"s first printed newspaper was

The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620.
In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily
English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702.
In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was
first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston
Newsletter (波斯顿新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the
colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United
States.

life? Why is it that decades later it still stands out in your mind? Probably the main reason is that some
aspect of that poem resonates (引起共鸣) with you. In the same way, you too as a school leader can
touch the hearts of your staff and students.
Poetry allows us to experience strong spiritual connections to things around us and to the past. The
power that poetry has displayed over time and across cultures actually satisfies this common need of the
human heart and soul.
As one of the oldest art forms, poetry has successfully connected various strands of humanity (人性)
from one generation to another. Referring to poetry, Hillyer makes a simple yet meaningful statement,
"With this key mankind unlocked his heart."
School leaders can find and make use of the value of poetry for themselves, their students and their
staff members. Beyond the simple use of poetry, techniques of poetry such as metaphors, repetitions and
imagery can be used o take advantage of the power of language to transform communication, create
meaning and a culture of care and attention.
Since schools are mainly about people and relationships, school leaders, like poets, are required to
inspire and encourage the human heart. The use of poetry-or even of some techniques of poetry-in
school leadership not only helps to improve communication, but also serves to meet the human need for
inspiration.
B. the need to be inspired
C. the need to learn about the past
D. the need to be connected with other people
B. the power of school leaders
C. people"s preference for poetry
D. people"s desire for communication
B. To explain how poetry can be used in our daily life.
C. To talk about the art of being a school leader.
D. To encourage using the transformational power of poetry in school leadership.
heard about tea . People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like , mainly because
tea was very expensive . It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have
it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity . Some of them were not sure how
to use it . They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves . Then they served them mixed
with butter and salt . They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea
leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches .
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began
to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century . During the next few years so much tea came
into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it .
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea . Until then tea
had been drunk without milk in it , but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne
decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added . She found it so pleasant that she would never
again drink it without milk . Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy
everything she did ,they also drank their tea with milk in it . Slowly this habit spread until it reached
England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk .
At first , tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening . No one ever thought of drinking tea in the
afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o"clock
stopped her getting "a sinking feeling" as she called it . She invited her friends to have this new meal with
her and so , tea-time was born .
