Although m
14、y house was already full of cats anddogs, I still couldnt resist an occasional visit to the shelter. This time as I was walking down the row of pens（畜栏）full of barking dogs I noticed a small boy looking into one of them. He had a malnourished looking body and a bony face with a bignose sticking out
15、of the middle of it. He was looking at a small, golden dog. Its bony ribs wereshowing and its thin tail was folded between its legs. It wasnt beggingfor attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the cornerinstead. The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrongwith it. “It wa
16、s probably abused and abandoned”, I said. “That is why itis so scared.”The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I wantthis one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill outthe adoption forms. I followed and asked about the boy. I found out thathed had a rough
17、 start in life too. She had just gotten custody（监护权） of himafter the state had taken him from his parents. She had hoped getting adog would make it easier on him. I looked back at him, holding his scaredpuppy, and said a prayer for them both.It was yesterday. I was driving down the road enjoying a g
18、loriously sunny,spring day. Then in a green front yard I saw the boy. His teenage body wastall and strong. His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into hissmiling face. He was throwing a ball to a healthy, happy dog with shininggolden hair. His little act of love and kindness had indeed gone a lo
19、ngway. It had saved a dogs life, healed his own heart, and given thismiddle-aged man fresh hope for us all.26. The author entered the animal shelter because _ .A. he wanted to buy a dog B. it was too cold outsideC. he loves dogs and pets D. he wanted to see the boy 27. The reason why the dog was so
20、scared is that _ .A. it had been ill-treated B. it was afraid of the coldC. it was frightened by the boy D. it was frightened by the author28 . Why did the boy want to adopt the golden dog? A. Because the dog looked attractive. B. Because his grandma also liked the dog.C.Because the author advised h
21、im to adopt it. D.Because they had something in common.29.The Grandma wanted the boy to adopt a dog so that _ .A. his life could be easier B. he could play balls with itC. he could forget about his parents D. the dog could be taken good care of30What can we learn from the last paragraph ?A. The auth
22、or is a kind-hearted old man.B. Both the boy and the dog are growing healthily and happily.C. The author enjoys watching people playing with dogs.D. The boys nose has become smaller than before.BMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an act
23、ive exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as brack
24、eting. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping_into_his_or_her_shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of
25、 the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way. The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneselves for mutua
26、l growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired r
27、esults to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we dont want to hear.It wasnt until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found th
28、e knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的). In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several r
29、easons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.31. The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means _A. preparing
30、 a topic list first B. focusing on ones own mindC. directing the talk to the desired results D. experiencing the speakers inside world32What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?A. Benefits of listening. B. What to listen to.C. How to listen well. D. Problems in listening.33According to the author, i
31、n communication people tend to _A. listen purposefully B. listen activelyC. set aside their prejudices D. open up their inner mind34According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _A. they were taken good care of B. they knew they were truly listened toC. they had partners to talk to D
32、. they knew the roots of problems35What type of writing is the article likely to be?A. Medical science. B. A news report. C. A medical report. D. Science fiction.CStudents who date in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twi
33、ce as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence ，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships, said Pamela Orpinas ，s
34、tudy author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and rep
35、orted the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students* academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study
36、 skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highes
37、t dating as having the worst study skills,1 according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.Dating a classmate may have the same em
38、otional complications of dating a co-worker, Orpinas said, when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert attention from studying.”“Dating shoul
39、d not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school，”Orpinas concluded.36 . According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_A. have poorer academic performances B. be more likely to hurl othersC. enjoy better school lives D. are less likely to use alcohol and tobacco37.When do
40、ing his study, Orpinas_.A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th gradeB. completed a survey and a report each yearC. completed questionnaires about the students academic effortsD. found that the students study skills have connection with their frequency of dating38. Study skills may include t
41、he following behaviors and qualities Except_A. being diligent B. being well organizedC. being kind and helpfulD. finishing assigned schoolwork39. What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?A. They dont want to see each other any longer. B. Their attention to studying will be
42、affected.C. They will miss their ex-partners sometimes D. They will think it，s reasonable Io get depressed.40. Orpinas tone towards dating in middle school is_A. supportive B. positive C. negative D. neutral D With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, its not only necessary, but al
43、so essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps (处于沮丧中), as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke aroun
44、d with your wife, husband, child, co-workers, neighbors, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in ever
45、ything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy（礼貌）to speak to others that are around you. I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be r
46、olling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke？ La
47、ughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to b
48、ypass the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.41.
