As part of his role in the Air Force Volunteer Reserve, John Lewis often visited military schools. But it was at a London school in 2014 that an accident happened. He had 11 operations in total and it was two years before he could walk again. Although John improved physically, he couldn’t recover from what had happened. John was diagnosed with post -traumatic (创伤后) stress disorder (PTSD), but none of the treatment seemed to help. Then last year, at a hospital, a doctor told him a puppy (小狗) could manage stress and might help with his anxiety. In May 2019, they adopted a black puppy called Gibson. He says, “I'd never thought of it as a comfort. After just a few weeks, I could feel myself improving. If I was feeling anxious, he would jump up on the sofa and sit on my chest and I found that really relaxing and comforting. Wherever I go, he will follow me and it’s really helpful to my anxiety. We go out and play Frisbee (飞盘) and I now look forward to going out for walks while I would always make excuses to stay in the house before.” His wife Anna has also noticed a difference. She says, “Gibson is an incredible dog that adores John. He is a fantastic companion. It has given him a focus and a lease on life.” John is now. taking part in Generation Pup, a groundbreaking study that tracks puppies through adulthood to learn how their early experiences and environment affect their development. John says, “I really enjoy tracking this through the study, watching his personality begin to grow and support me on my road back to mental health, which he is playing a big part in.” “Gibson has done so much for me in a short space of time. I want to do something for him.” 1.What can we learn about John Lewis after the accident? A.He couldn't bear the pain of the operations. B.He soon stood up and returned to his post. C.He suffered a lot from mental problems. D.He still focused on the life in military schools. 2.What do John’s words in paragraph 3 show? A.How to raise a puppy. B.How naughty Gibson was. C.How to get on with a puppy. D.How Gibson comforted him. 3.What does the underlined part “a lease on life” in paragraph 4 mean? A.More wisdom. B.Better life. C.Great wealth. D.Lifelong ambition. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.John is grateful to Gibson. B.John makes full use of Gibson. C.John has recovered from PTSD. D.John has researched a lot on puppies.

When you are sitting in the car, do you ever notice the drivers looking over their shoulders or side to side in the car? Well, they are doing this to check their blind spots! Blind spots take driving extremely difficult and increase the potential for car accidents. Fourteen-year-old Alaina Gassler from Pennsylvania noticed her mother struggling with blind spots while driving their family car. So she came up with an ingenious solution that won the first place and $25,000 in the Broadcom Masters Competition. Blind spots are the areas around the car that cannot be directly observed by the driver. There are two kinds of blind spots---on the back of the car that cannot be seen with mirrors, and blind spots at the front of the car as well. When a driver is changing lanes, he has to look over his shoulder through the side windows to make sure that there is no vehicle in the blind spot. This invisible area is big enough to hide a car! The other blind spot is created in the front by the A-pillar（柱子）---the material on either side on the windshield（挡风玻璃）that holds the glass and forms the frame of the car. In some cars, this pillar can be quite thick. Usually, people or cyclists can be hidden by this pillar. Alaina's design was to get rid of the blind spot created by the front A-pillar of the car, the one that helps hold up the windshield. She put a camera on the outside passenger side of the car which then sent the photos to a projector above the drivers' head. Then, she covered the inside of the pillar in reflective fabric onto which the image was projected. Basically, her device made the pillar "see through" and removed the blind spot on that side of the car. Alnina's solution is very creative and could be improved by using LCD displays that will make it easier to see during day time as well. 1.What can be learned about blind spots during driving? A.They call for careful driving. B.They make driving thrilling. C.They are many in kinds. D.They can't be get rid of. 2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "ingenious" in paragraph 2? A.interesting B.creative C.inspiring D.invisible 3.How did Alaina solve the problem? A.By improving the A-pillar. B.By using a mirror on the outside of the A-pillar. C.By relying on LCD displays. D.By using a camera to capture images. 4.What's the best title for the text? A.An Introduction to Blind Spots B.A Warning About the Road Safety C.A Teen's Creative Solution to Blind Spots D.Scientific Research on Blind Spots

An estimated 60 percent of cats and 50 percent of dogs in the U. S. are overweight or obese, so chances are that your pet needs to lose weight rather than pack on some pounds. It's not always easy to tell if your pet could afford to lose few, but there are some other signs that can tip you off. One important factor the waist, "Most people don't know what a normal cat should look like," says Romine. "But cats should have waists, too." The vet says you should be able to feel your pet's ribs（肋骨） through its coat, and when you look down at them, they should have an hourglass（沙漏）shape---just like person. "For some overweight pets, you may want to switch to new food entirely; foods with 'light' or 'healthy weight' labels usually have an increased fiber content to help the dog or cat feel fuller," Romine notes. "Another option is to feed them less of the food they currently cat," Freeman suggests. "Make sure you're reducing table scraps（残羹剩饭）and high-calorie treats like pet biscuits," she says. It's important to figure out what your pet's ideal weight is as you're helping them to lose. Romine advises working with your vet to get the right number, and if you're following the portion guidelines often printed on food labels, feed them the amount of food associated with the weight you want them to be, rather than the weight they currently are. Food isn't the only factor that can impact your pet's weight. Romine stresses the importance of exercise in keeping your pet healthy. For cats, just 10 minutes of indoor play each day can make a difference. For dogs, letting them out in the backyard to do their business is not enough. You'll have to exercise with your dog to really get them moving. 1.What is the problem with the pet from the text? A.It needs to lose weight. B.It needs have waists C.It needs to pack on pounds. D.It needs to be more energetic. 2.Which food can help overweight pets? A.The food with an decreased fiber. B.The food from table scraps. C.The food with "light" labels. D.The food with new label. 3.What is an important factor to keep pets healthy? A.A partner. B.Exercise. C.Pet biscuits. D.Protein. 4.From which is the text probably taken? A.A biology textbook. B.A travel brochure. C.A recipe book. D.pet magazine.

How to Enjoy Life As a Teen The “best years of your life”? Maybe not, but you can learn to make the most of your high school days. 1. Whether it’s having a computer, having friends, having a good supply of food, or simply being born in this world. Remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. And these are the last few years you will be able to enjoy yourself without having a worry about the responsibility and never want to go back. Choose your friends wisely. 2. In fact, many of the “friends” you have when you are hot are not true friends. Try to have friends that like you for who you are, not just because you are wearing a certain brand of shoes or something like that. Be sociable. Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. 3. Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing(沉溺于)in self-pity. Develop interests you enjoy. Video games, for example, are good if you’re the type who can get into that kind of thing. 4.You can either volunteer to gain useful skills for college challenges or learn something in the creative field like painting or dance. 5. A.Learn to appreciate small things. B.Enjoy the pleasure before it’s too late. C.Therefore, be happy, and life will reward you. D.You should also find a hobby that is meaningful or practical. E.You don’t have to be popular and have a troop of friends to be happy. F.This is the time to start developing and uncovering passions that might otherwise lie still. G.While you only need 4 or 5 close friends, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to meet new people.
