A
When I was a kid, I was just like every other kid. I didn't like school
much. Oh, as usual, I liked being with friends and having fun. But, I didn't like the discipline of learning, studying, memorizing, etc. Too much work. As I got into high school, things changed for me. I started reading a lot of books. Books that taught me about life and how to live it. I read around 30 books my junior and senior year. I've never stopped. I learned to love to read.
Little did I know at that time that I would eventually write books myself. I've since written 7 books. One book I wrote, 'Powerful Attitudes', was a huge success within a network marketing company in the USA. When I was 17 years old, I took about a dozen guitar lessons. I feel in love with guitar music no matter if it is blues, rock, flamenco or classical. I've attended concerts and have heard some great guitarists through the years. Recently, I bought myself a piano. When I looked at them, I decided to buy the best piano that the store offered. If I was going to learn, I wanted to learn on the best one I could get. I've since learned a lot. It's only been a few months but I've made considerable progress. My knowledge of music and playing the guitar has helped me a lot in learning piano.
Last week, I hired a Chinese teacher to teach me Chinese. I've learned about 200 words in my first week. I'm inspired and motivated to learn. In fact, I feel a bit obsessed with learning it. It's like a mountain I want to climb and conquer. I'm 56 years old and my passion to learn it runs deep in my heart, mind and soul.
I think one thing I definitely learned growing up in the West and getting my education there is, to love learning. I never want to stop learning. I never want to stop studying people, life, processes and new things. I think it keeps you younger. I think the integrity of admitting
what you do know and acknowledging what you don't know, makes you a good learner. You never lie to yourself or to others about your knowledge and experience. I have the attitude that if I don't know something, I will eventually know it.
I think to love learning is to love life. I never want to lose my love of learning. I thrive on it. It keeps my mind active and my heart young. 21.Acccording to the passage,when did the author get to like school? A.As he got into kindergarten B As he got into elementary school C As he got into high school D As he got into university 22.What’s the author’s attitude towards guitar music?

The new year has begun and some people may be looking to 2015 as the year they get a dog. A furry friend will bring a lot of fun and companionship to your family — especially for urban residents who always feel lonely living in the fast-paced society. But looking after a pet does require some responsibility from the pet owner if you want your new friend to be healthy and happy in your family.
The following is a checklist for people who are considering adopting an animal.
___25.__ There are hundreds of pet shops in Shanghai, big and small, where you can find puppies at a cost ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of yuan. The pet shop will tell you some basic facts about dogs of a specific breed. But don't forget to ask about the vaccination status if you are buying a puppy, which needs three injections with an interval of three to four weeks between shots.
Another option is to ask your friends if they know anyone with a dog that has recently had puppies. This option is more reliable than buying a puppy from someone you don’t know, especially the street peddlers who might carry animals with diseases.
Another highly recommended option is to adopt one from an NGO dedicated to providing shelter and protecting stray animals. This is quite practical if you don't care about the dog's breed. Vaccination(疫苗)
As a pet owner, there are some things you must do otherwise you may get into big trouble, and one of these is getting your dog vaccinated. Dogs need regular shots to fight against canine parvovirus(犬细
小病毒), rabies and other diseases or viruses.
To ensure the vaccines are not substandard, we strongly recommend you get your furry friend a shot from a qualified vet, which may cost a few hundred yuan each year.
Another advantage of using the vet as opposed to getting your dog vaccinated yourself, is that the vet will examine its condition to see whether it is suitable to get a shot now and take immediate action if it has an allergic reaction to the vaccine.
Because you are advised not to give your animal a bath for one week following its vaccination, you should clean your animal one or two days before the shot if you don’t want your dog to get too dirty Parasite (寄生虫)protection
As a pet owner, you need to be prepared to get rid of fleas(跳蚤), heartworm(犬心虫), roundworm(蛔虫）, intestinal worms and other parasites from your dog.
Dogs need regular flea and tick control and parasite protection, even if it does not show symptoms of being affected by the parasite. An adult dog needs to be fed with a tablet every six months to make sure it does not have an endoparasite.
You also need to take measures every three months to help expel fleas and ticks from your animal. You need to learn the signs of a flea bite: they may immediately cause a dog to feel extremely itchy. Within 30 minutes of a bite, they may develop a red bump. Secondary infections caused by scratching are also common. Dog training
No dog is born with good manners. Pooping on the carpet, leaping enthusiastically
onto guests, pulling so hard that it practically yanks your arm out of the socket when on walks — that’s all perfectly acceptable in the canine world. It's up to you to teach your dog to behave the way humans want it to.
Despite the adage（谚语；格言） about old dogs and new tricks, there are no age limits to teaching dogs. And whether you've got a brand-new puppy or an older dog, the first step is the same: learn how to be a good teacher.
Every dog is different and will respond better to a slightly different training style, but these general guidelines apply: stay consistent and patient, and reward your dog for getting it right.
25.Which of the titles can be filled in the blank?
A Whether to buy or sell dogs B When to adopt dogs C How to take care of dogs D Where to find a dog
26.According to the article,how many aspects shoud a pet owner pay attention to?
A.Two BThree C Four D Five 27.The underlined word “ vet” means____________.
A a surgeon B a physician C a dentist Da doctor who treats animals 28.Which of the following sentences is FALSE?
A A dog can bring much fun and companionship to your family — especially for urban residents who always feel lonely living in the fast-paced society.
B As a pet owner, it is unnecessary for you to be prepared to get rid of fleas. C It's up to you to teach your dog to behave the way humans want it to.
D After getting a dog,the first step for its owner is to be a good teacher. C
Jewish Former Refugee Glad To Be ‘Home’
By Yang Jian | February 8, 2015, Sunday
MICHAEL Blumenthal’s eyes were filled with tears yesterday when he found his name on a list at the Shanghai Jewish(犹太的；犹太人的） Refugee（难民） Museum in Hongkou District.
“Here I am, and here are my father, mother and sister,” said the 89-year-old former United States Secretary of the Treasury.
Blumenthal, originally from Germany, was one of about 15,000 Jews who found refuge in Shanghai after fleeing Nazi persecution in Europe. He arrived in the city in1939 and spent nine years here with his parents and
sister, who is now 94. In 1948, he left the city for the United States, where he spent the next six years studying for a degree in medicine at Princeton University. At the age of 35, Blumenthal was appointed by President J. F. Kennedy as deputy assistant Secretary of State and became Treasury Secretary in 1977.
“ The period in Shanghai taught me to work hard and overcome hardship,” he said.
Returning to his “second home,” Blumenthal walked around the museum and said “man hao” in his Shanghai dialect. The phrase translates as “pretty good.”
“The old photos bring back memories for me, of both happy and hard times,” he said.
Both the Jewish people and the locals suffered a lot during the war, so they had to work together, he said.
“Shanghai people taught us Chinese and the local dialect, while we taught them German and English,” he said.
“This is my eighth visit to Shanghai and I find more changes every time,” he said.
“Young Chinese should realize how lucky they are to live in this beautiful city,” he said.

Sixty-two percent of patients with a lung disease caused by dust inhalation（吸入；吸入物） come from the coal mining industry, and its death toll（伤亡人数）far outnumbers those in mining accidents, highlighting a significant danger to miners' health, areport released on Friday said. More than 720,000 workers nationwide reported their disease, pneumoconiosis, to the China Coal Miner Pneumoconiosis Prevention and Treatment Foundation. About 440,000 of those, or 62 percent, were from the mining industry. The form of the ailment（疾病） prevalent（流行的；普遍发生的） among coal miners is known formally as black lung disease.

The number increases by 20,000 workers every year, according to a survey released by a special foundation targeted on the pneumoconiosis patients
under the China Social Assistance Foundation in July. The Ministry of Health said by the end of 2010, 22 percent of the reported 677,000 black lung disease sufferers had died. By comparison, the death toll from mining accidents declined to 1,067 in 2013, down from about 7,000 annually 15 years ago, according to the State Administration of Work Safety.
33.According to the passage,the underlined word pneumoconiosis means a disease related to___________.
A lung B liver C stomach D heart 34.From the pasage,we can infer that_______________

C There are still a lot of people sufffering from pneumoconiosis who can’t have access to proper treatment.
D It's estimated that there are 6 million workers with pneumoconiosis nationwide, of which 90 percent are rural residents. 35.The best title of the passage is________________.
A Lung disease claims far more lives than accidents B The treatment of lung disease
C The number of people suffering from pneumoconiosis
D The China Coal Miner Pneumoconiosis Prevention and Treatment Foundation

In the first class meeting of this term,we held a heated discussion on whether our school should invite some parents to invigilate the exam .Our ideas are as follows.
75% of the students in my class are in favor of the matter.They believe that it can help parents know the current situations of their children,which can contribute to improving students’ grades.At the same time,it can also add to the number of people who invigilate the exam;as a result,some students will give up the intention of cheating in the exam room,which can help to create a fair competition environment.Parents may have some time to communicate with teachers face to face,especially the head teachers.Teachers can give them some valuable advice on how to educate children.Parents can also come up with some reasonable suggestions on how to run our school smoothly.
On the contrary,25% of the students object to the activity strongly.In their opinion,parents are so busy with their work or business that they can’t set aside some time.They are worried that parents can know their low grades.Once parents invigilate the exam,they are likely to feel nervous or uneasy.
As for me,I am for the former instead of the latter.The activity is good for us both in study and personal development in the long run.After all, the phenomenon of cheating particularly with mobile phones has been increasingly severe.
