There are, however, a few things that are best left at home. Here are a few things to forget when you"re
traveling with pets. Forgetting them will make your trip run more smoothly and more effectively.
Time
Traveling with pets will take longer and will have unexpected turns. In reality, forgetting about time
means leaving impatience behind. Don"t be in a rush. Your pets will require more extra stops than you will,
and they"ll often surprise you with unpredictable delays. Plan on leaving early and arriving later and you"ll
be right on time.
Anger
Getting angry at the delay will only make matters worse. Your feelings can add unnecessary stresses
to you and your pets" travel experience. If you feel yourself becoming out of control, stop and take a deep
breath. Your pets have little control over their emotions, bowel movements, or motion sickness when
traveling. Remember to be kind and understanding at all times, especially when under pressure.
Work Attitude
This may seem like a no-brainer, but when you are traveling, leave your work attitude behind. Traveling
is not a task to be accomplished; it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your
pets as long as you have the right attitude.
Control
Part of the joy of traveling with pets is dealing with the unexpected. You can"t control everything and
trying to do so will only end in frustration (挫败) and anger. Knowing that things will happen beyond your
control will bring great relief to you and your pets. Messes happen; accidents happen. Once you accept
that, traveling with your pets will be far easier to manage.
Selfishness
Traveling with pets often requires an extreme amount of selflessness. Your pets rely on you to take
care of their needs, and sometimes you will need to put their needs before your own. Leave your selfish
bitions behind when traveling with your pets. They need your attention and care more than anything else
because of the stresses and strains of traveling.
Traveling with pets can and will be a joy if you remember to leave these five items behind. It can be
difficult at times to handle, but the traveling will go well if you can manage to do so.

| Much has been written about body language during a job interview. Experts from across many fields are full of advice on just how to present your best performance in an interview using conscious (自觉的) body language choices. While many of these experts say there is a "secret" system for making the most of an interview, the reality is that most of them focus on a few general types of behaviors that have the greatest effect during a job interview. Entering the interview location - Your walk should be active and confident. Keep your shoulders straight, head up, and make eye contact with the people around you. Maintain (保持) an active facial expression and be confident when shaking hands and greeting people to whom you are introduced. During the interview - Sit in a straight and attentive posture. Never let your shoulders drop or your head hang down, but rather keep your head up and make eye contact with the interviewers. Don"t play with any papers or notes you have in front of you, and don"t lean (倚靠) your arms heavily on the table. Keep your body position open and make eye contact while listening to and answering questions. Leaving the interview location - No matter how you feel about your performance during the interview, carry yourself with confidence till you leave the interview location. Be confident when shaking hands and making eye contact as you say goodbye, and keep your body posture straight as you walk all the way to your car.

| How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child - things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. | ||

| A. life for a child is comparatively easy B. a child is always loved whatever he does C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return D. only children are interested in life | ||
| 2. After a child grows up, he _____. | ||

| When children celebrate a wedding anniversary for the parents, it"s not just a celebration for the parents but for the whole family. There are many types of wedding anniversary gifts. 1 Choosing a gift for parents that involves the whole family makes the event more special for them. Budget(预算) Children shouldn"t spend too much money on the gift. Parents usually know the financial conditions of their children. 2 Considerations An anniversary gift for parents should have two characteristics: customized (订制的), and something they can use together.

The guest list includes all family members who have been close to them over the years. Family-themed gifts One choice is a family photo taken by a professional or even a painting created by a professional artist using a family photo as the image to be painted. 5 If the parents don"t have a DVD player, the player can be included as part of the gift. A. Sometimes gifts don"t have to be objects bought with money. B. Brothers and sisters can share the cost of the party. C. And these gifts reflect a lot of thought and effort. D. So the gift should be one selected specially for parents. E. Overspending can make parents uncomfortable and worried. F. This way, the family can be together to celebrate the anniversary. G.

| Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively (过分地), fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesn"t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of "come here, and sit", it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack (群)by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission (服从)to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accepts that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. | ||

| A. teach people on how to train the dog B. remind people to give their dogs some proper training C. warn people to avoid the wild dogs D. tell the differences between well-trained dogs and untrained ones | ||

| A. Obedience training can make your dog obey your orders. B. You should use effective methods to train your dogs. C. Obedience training is essential to the dogs though it can"t solve all behavior problems. D. Effective communication is a must for your dogs. | ||
| 3. A well-trained dog . | ||
| A. accepts that you are in charge and shows obedience and respect for you B. can understand whatever you want it to do C. can make you more confident D. will affect your social relationship | ||

| For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it .From the parents" point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents" complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, I"ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen"s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing ,the child"s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn" t matter whether the topic is politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg ;the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an authority-someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they"ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. | ||
| 1.Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict? | ||
| A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line. C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end. | ||
| 2. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? | ||
| A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict. B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. C. The teens cause their parents of misleading them. D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents. | ||
| 3. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to_________. | ||
| A. give orders to the other B. know more than the other C. gain respect from the other D. get the other to behave properly | ||
| 4. what will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? | ||
| A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts. B. Examples of the parent-teen war C. Solutions for the parent-teen problems. D. Future of the parent-teen relationship. | ||
