Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs. They loved each other and played together
题型:不详难度:来源:
Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs. They loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses. One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that their dog hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him, but with no success. Brownie didn’t show up the next day, and by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone. He barked loudly. But busy with their own lives, Brownie’s family just ignored (忽略) their neighbor’s nervous little dog. Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take “no” for an answer. He followed Ted, Brownie’s owner, everywhere he went. He barked, then rushed towards a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “ Follow me!” Finally, Ted followed the dog across the empty lot. The dog led the man to a tree a half-mile from the house. There Ted found Brownie alive. One of his legs was crushed (夹住) in a trap. Ted wished he had taken Spotty’s earlier appeals (求助) seriously. Then Ted noticed something amazing. In a circle around the injured dog, he saw a lot of dog food. They were the remains of lots of meals. Spotty had been visiting Brownie every day. He had stayed with Brownie to protect him, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling(用鼻子爱抚) him to keep his spirits up. 小题1:What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A.Brownie and Spotty didn’t like their owners. | B.Brownie was missing for three days. | C.Brownie’s family didn’t love him. | D.Spotty probably knew where Brownie was. | 小题2:According to the story, which of the following is TRUE?A.Spotty barked loudly at Ted because he was scared. | B.Ted followed Spotty because Spotty asked him to. | C.Spotty succeeded in escaping from the trap. | D.Brownie had nothing to eat that whole week. | 小题3:The underlined phrase “keep his spirits up” in the last paragraph probably means______.A.feed him | B.praise him | C.comfort him | D.protect him | 小题4:What does the story aim to tell us?A.Dog is man’s best friend. | B.Even dogs can have strong friendship. | C.Dogs are one of the cleverest animals. | D.Dogs have a special way to look for help. |

Try this: for a whole day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen? You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a 24- hour cycle. Everyone is unique, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse on tests and quizzes. And working shifts at night leads to higher rates of heart disease. “There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, Director of the Sleep Disorders Research Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. “During the night, we are prepared to sleep,” Shea says. “During the day, we are prepared to eat and move around, If you reverse ( 颠倒) what you are doing, everything is out of phase. That can have adverse consequences. 小题1:What does the underlined sentence suggest?A.We don’t need to care about time. | B.We don’t need the clock. | C.The clock is not useful. | D.The clock is not remembered. | 小题2:What makes some like to stay up late while others go to bed early?A.our bodies | B.our minds | C.the clock | D.our unique system | 小题3:Steven Shea suggests ________.A.when we eat, we are prepared to eat. | B.when we sleep, we are prepared to sleep | C.when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are | D.we are prepared to follow clocklike system | 小题4:“Everything is out of phase.” means________.A.everything is out of order | B.everything is bad | C.everything is good | D.everything is not controlled |
