He asked the students if the _________ was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. He _________ the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas _________ the golf balls.

He asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor _________ picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. _________the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students _________with unanimous(一致的) yes.

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured them into the jar, filling the _________ space between the sand. The students laughed.

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar _________ your life. The golf balls are the __________ things: family, children, __________, friends and favorite passions. Things, that if everything else was __________ and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the things that __________, like your job, house, and car. The sand is everything else—the small staff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar__________, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same __________ for life. If you spend all of your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. So pay attention to the __________ that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first. Set your____________. The rest is just sand.”

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. These two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.

One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success and by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone. Barking, whining (哀叫) and generally pestering (纠缠) Brownie’s human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.

Continuously,Ted, Brownie’s owner, was disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”

Eventually, Ted followed Spotty to a deserted spot half a mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.

Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!

Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.

Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian (兽医) and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well worn path between their houses.

1.Why did Ted pay little attention to Spotty at the very beginning?

A.Because Ted was tired of listening to Spotty barking.

B.Because Ted only cared about Brownie’s safety.

C.Because Ted was not free at that moment.

D.Because Ted knew where Brownie was.

2.When Ted was led by Spotty to Brownie, he      .

A.was curious to find out what had happened

B.highly appreciated Spotty’s help

C.was worried about Brownie’s health

D.regretted not following Spotty earlier

3.Not only did Spotty help Ted find Brownie but also       .

A.he went to see his friend and played with him secretly

B.he sent messages to some other persons in his community to save his friend

C.he managed to lead a veterinarian to treat his friend

D.he sent food to his friend, accompanied him and inspired him to cheer up

4.What can we learn from the story?

A.Barking dogs seldom bite.

B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C.Love me, love my dog.

D.Every dog has its day.

He rode along until a strange around drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like clack cloud and the buzzing mass towards him.

With no time to waste. Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings().

Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your ways out of it. ”

Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees have gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr Nelson took his inside and rang his mother.

“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,”laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic! But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow. ”

    When your pet has an emergency, first aid is not a substitute for veterinary (兽医的) treatment. However, before you are able to get your pet to a veterinarian(兽医), knowing some basic first aid can help.

Bite Wounds

Approach the pet carefully to avoid getting bitten. Wear a mask for the animal and then check the wound. Clean the wound with large amounts of saline solution(盐溶液). If it is not available, then regular water may be used. Wrap large open wounds to keep them clean.

Bleeding

Apply firm, direct pressure to the bleeding area until the bleeding stops. Hold the pressure for at least 10 minutes. Avoid bandages that cut off the circulation.

Breathing Stops

Check to see if the animal is choking on a foreign object. If the animal is not breathing, place it on a firm surface with its left side up. Check for a heartbeat. If you hear a heartbeat but not breathing, close the animal's mouth and breathe directly into its nose—not the mouth—until the chest, expands. Repeat 12 to 15 times per minute.

Burns

Wash the burn immediately with large amounts of cool, running water. Apply an ice pack for 15-20 minutes. Do not place an ice pack directly on the skin. Wrap the pack in a light towel or other covers. If the animal has large quantities of dry chemicals on its skin, brush them off. Water may activate some dry chemicals.

Fractures(骨折)

Symptoms include pain, inability to use a limb(肢/肢体). Wear a mask for the pet and look for bleeding. If you can control the bleeding without causing more injury, then do so. Watch for signs of shock. Don't try to set the fractures by pulling the limb. Transport the pet to a veterinarian immediately, supporting the injured part as best as you can.

1.If your pet is burned by chemicals, you should______.

A.wash away the chemicals with saline solution B.put an ice pack directly on the skin

C.bind up the cut with a bandage D.get rid of them before washing

2.The underline word "substitute" in the first paragraph means something______.

A.that is necessary B.that can replace other things

C.that is familiar to us D.that can calm people

3.The passage is mainly about______.

A.giving pets first aid B.treating sick pets

C.dealing with an emergency D.working as a veterinarian(兽医)
