In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections (注射) so that they won"t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people"s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone. |

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault (过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame (受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can"t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering. |

As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents"efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. "In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children"s IQ scores," Lewis says. "And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is." The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. "Middle children are invisible," says Lewis. "When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it"s the middle child." There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: "When the TV is on," Lewis says,"dinner is a non-event." |
1. The writer"s purpose in writing the text is to ______. |
A. show the relationship between parents and children B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table C. report on the findings of a study D. give information about family problems |
2. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _______. |
A. they are busy serving food to their children B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table C. they have to pay more attention to younger children D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family |
3. By saying "Middle children are invisible" in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children ______. |
A. have to help their parents to serve dinner B. get the least attention from the family C. are often kept away from the dinner table D. find it hard to keep up with other children |
4. Lewis" research provides an answer to the question ______. |
A. why TV is important in family life B. why parents should keep good order C. why children in small families seem to be quieter D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life |
5. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to? |
A. It is important to have the right food for children. B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner. C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently. D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner |

Many students want to find friends on the Internet as a way of practising their language skills and learning more about new cultures. Traditional pen pals were the primary source for such contacts, and students could write each other letters. With the Internet, finding friends has become much easier, and such relationships are called key pals. However, care and consideration should be given when finding friends on the Internet: ◎Search the Internet for reputable (有信誉的) services. Look for reviews(评论) of such sites to learn more about other students" experiences. Don"t join a service until you have done your research. ◎Check to see if you can use a nickname (绰号) instead of __________, to protect your identity(身份). ◎Never give personal information to anyone, including your home address, phone number, and birthday. ◎Stop contact with others if you feel uncomfortable with the topics of conversation. Again, if you protect your identity, this will be easier to do. Tell your teachers, parents, or even local law enforcement if problem arise. ◎Try to use the language you are studying in the classroom in your communication(交流) with others. ◎Ask proper questions that will also help you learn about other cultures. Remember that someone"s personal experience might help you to understand a whole culture. You have to talk to many different people, and this will get you started. |

Four goals for Perfect Life . |
Healthy and Fit The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. 1 Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan (寿命), is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Excellent Relationships 2 Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor. Do What You Love The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. 3 You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do. 4 The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. 5 You want to be completely free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without using the price listings to determine what you want to eat. |
A. We don"t want to get the job that we aren"t well paid and don"t promote faster. B. Achieve Financial Independence C. Money is the most important for we can"t go without it. D. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. E. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster. F. The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. G. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. |
