Do dogs understand us? Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. A border collie博德牧羊犬 named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by the process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 1.From paragraph 2 we know that ____________.. A．animals are as clever as human beings B．dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C．chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills D．dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children 2.Both experiments show that . A．Rico is smart enough to get all commands right B．Rico can recognize different things including toys C．Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D．Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them 3.Which of the following statements is true? A．The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities. B．Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. C．The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D．Rico is born to understand its owner's commands. 4.What does the writer want to tell us? A．To train your dog. B．To talk with your dog. C．To be friendly to your dog. D．To be careful with your dog.

Due to the increasing number of violent acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being. Teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons charged with the safety of the students. The main reason for violent acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time. They want to do everything. They watch on TV and never think of the results, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher. On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results. When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in detail everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper. And many times, the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to. However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear that something bad might happen to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a glass bowl only does harm to the child. All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends. 1.The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to . A．teach parents the ways to keep theft children safe B．show solutions to developing children’s character C．explain the main reason for violence acts in schools D．analyze an education problem and give opinions. 2.What does “a glass bowl” in the passage refer to? A．A toy that can be used for entertainment． B．A safe and comfortable environment． C．An object that is made of crystal． D．A setback that is hard to overcome． 3.We can infer from the passage that . A．violent TV programs have bad effects on children’ behavior B．the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school C．children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong D．there are too many students in class for a teacher to teach

I was chosen to play the leading role in the play，that was my dream. As a shy and thin girl，I used to be quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class，I am often the first one to stand up and answer questions even if I may take some mistakes. No pain，no gain. Now I am always brave enough overcome the difficulty in my heart and have changed in a lively girl. So my experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can we make progresses.
