People who have seen Trisha Seifried Woo...

    People who have seen Trisha Seifried Woodall with her cats say that she has a magic touch. Most people don't know anyone who can order a cat to jump on a table, sit for two minutes, and then jump to the floor and walk backward.

Ms. Seifried Woodall has taught her cats to do all these tricks -- and many more. At her training center. Got Pet-ential, cats learn tricks for TV and magazine ads. Some of her cats have appeared on bags of cat food.

When Ms. Seifried Woodall gets a cat, she first learns what that cat likes and doesn’t like. “Some cats like to stay close to the ground, so I'll teach them how to stand behind me, and walk with me,”she says. “Other cats, like high places, so they'll learn how to jump on my bent knee and then safely leap to my shoulder.”

Ms. Seifried Woodall grew up in a family with many pets, and she was first paid to work with animals when she was 18. At a summer job at an amusement park, she learned how to train a few of the animals for performances. She continued to train and learn about animals for 20 years before starting her own animal-training center.

Ms. Seifried Woodall is proud of the skills her cats have learned, but she is also proud that her center’s cats are healthy and social. She believes her cats enjoy learning new tricks.

In Ms. Seifried Woodall’s experience, no breed(品种) of cat is easier to train than others. All of her cats came from shelters. They have become pets in her home.

Like most animal trainers, Ms. Seifried Woodall uses a reward system. Cats that are successful during training get food or a new toy. A cat that doesn’t enjoy eating or playing will probably not be interested in being trained. She never scolds(责骂) them. “Cats need a lot of encouragement when they are performing, she says." I say good job or thats right several times during a single minute.”

1.What are the cats trained by Ms. Seifried Woodall mainly used to do?

A.Work for amusement parks. B.Act in TV and magazine ads.

C.Become people’s family pets. D.Set a good example to other cats.

2.What can we learn about Ms. Seifried Woodall and her cat-training job?

A.She usually trains cats at her home.

B.She prefers training cats that are active.

C.She trains cats according to their characters.

D.She can train any cat to be well-behaved.

3.What did Ms. Seifried Woodall do before becoming a cat trainer?

A.She took care of pets for families.

B.She performed at an amusement park.

C.She worked in an animal shelter.

D.She worked with animals for years.

4.Which of the following can best describe Ms. Seifried Woodall?

A.Brave and strong B.Polite and friendly

C.Caring and patient D.Humorous and talkative

 

1.B 2.C 3.D 4.C 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Trisha Seifried Woodall 和她的猫的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At her training center. Got Pet-ential, cats learn tricks for TV and magazine ads.”在她的训练中心,Got Pet-ential,猫学习在电视和杂志广告中技巧,可知选B。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的"she first learns what that cat likes and doesn’t like. Some cats like to stay close to the ground, so I'll teach them how to stand behind me, and walk with me," she says. "Other cats, like high places, so they'll learn how to jump on my bent knee and then safely leap to my shoulder."可知她根据猫的性格来进行不同的训练。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ms. Seifried Woodall grew up in a family with many pets, and she was first paid to work with animals when she was 18. ”可知,在成为一名训猫师之前, 她和动物一起生活了好多年,故选D。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段A cat that doesn’t enjoy eating or playing will probably not be interested in being trained. She never scolds(责骂) them. “Cats need a lot of encouragement when they are performing, she says." I say good job or that’s right several times during a single minute.”可知,如果猫不喜欢吃东西或者玩耍,可能是对训练不感兴趣。但是,她从来不责骂它们。在表演的时候,猫需要很多鼓励,她会在很短时间内说很多次称赞猫的话,比如做的好,很不错,从而可知Ms. Seifried Woodall对猫既关爱又有耐心,故选C。

    After finishing my teaching for a school year, I thought that I should go back to Montreal, Quebec, my hometown for a visit. My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement(退休) in the coming year.

Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who were trying hard to succeed and then led a better life in Canada. Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier(障碍) they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while they were changing between English and French.

Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home•cooked meal.

I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn't regret taking the trip.

Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.

I was served by another Chinese person who could not deal with the challenges of studying in an English-speaking environment and ended up working in a restaurant with low pay.

Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an enriching experience. However, one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to start a new life in a foreign country. One should take time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the adventure before he decides to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.

1.Why did the writer go to his hometown?

A.To meet his old friends.

B.To study a new language.

C.To go on with his teaching.

D.To prepare for his retirement life.

2.What is the main barrier for some Chinese to get knowledge in Canada?

A.Food. B.Homesickness. C.Language. D.Income.

3.The writer thinks that    .

A.overseas Chinese are good at communication in Canada

B.the trip to Montreal is a good chance for people to study

C.overseas Chinese feel disappointed at their life in Canada

D.people should think carefully before chasing their dreams abroad

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Improving Life Skills in Canada

B.Exploring Different Parts of Canada

C.Struggling for a Better Life in Canada

D.Going to Canada—Your Ideal Destination

Peter heard his little sister Eva’s weak cries as Mother wrapped her in a heavy blanket. Peter’s parents would be heading to town soon to take Eva to the doctor. “Remember to keep the stove going,” Father said, “And check on the cow now and then in the barn (畜棚). Her calf (小牛) may come at any time.” “I will,” said

Peter. Peter promised as his parents walked out into the cold. He didn’t want to add to their worry.

“Today I must manage on my own,” Peter said out loud to make himself feel braver. Father often said they all had to pull their own weight (尽本分) in their new home on the farm. Peter hoped he could do that.

The tiny one-room house felt big with only him in it. He carefully added one piece of wood to the small iron stove.

The morning passed quickly as Peter worked on the sled he was making. After eating at noon, he took melted-snow water to the cow. In the afternoon, Peter heard the winds increase. He decided he’d better check on the cow again.

Peter put on his heavy woolen coat and stepped out of the door. The wind blew snow crystals into his face and his breath froze into a patch (小片) of ice on his scarf before he arrived.

Lying on the dirt floor was a newborn calf, on whose tiny body ice had already begun forming. The cow mooed (哞哞叫) and licked her newborn. Peter knew this calf was important to his family. But the calf looked weak, shivering on the ground. “I have to get the calf to the house or it’ll freeze to death,” Peter thought.

Para. 1: He tried to lift it, but it was too heavy.

Para. 2: “I need to fetch some milk for it,” Peter said to himself.
