    　　Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers(职业). Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen or sportswomen? For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.

    　　Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is supplied by government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their children's development, and sports clothes, transportation (交通)to competitions, special equipment, etc. can all be very expensive.

    　　Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional(职业的)trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

    　　Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends. A new device called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korea or Japanese.

    　　Bow-Lingual's Japanese inventors spent much time and money-analyzing dog barks. They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire.

    　　Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog's collar. The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner. When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases.

    　　Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual. “Who would pay US $ 120 to read a dog's mind?” they ask.

    　　But those who have purchased Bow-Lingual praise the device. Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her empathize with her dog, Harry. “Before we go to the par, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry.”

    　　Bow-Lingual is riot yet available in Chinese. So you'd better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do!

    1．This passage is mainly talking about ________.

    [　　]

    A．Bow-Lingual's inventors

    B．dog barks and their different emotions

    C．talking dogs

    D．a little help for dog owners

    2．Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Dog owners now can understand their dogs better.

    B．Bow-Lingual is a new device that enables dogs to talk in English, Korean or Japanese.

    C．More and more Chinese dog owners would keep studying Studio Classroom in order to know more English than their dogs.

    D．People who have used the Bow-Lingual say it helps them better understand their dogs.

    3．What does “scoffed at” mean in the 3rd paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．shouted at
    B．questioned at
    C．laughed at
    D．doubted about

    4．How do you understand the sentence “Bow-Lingual is not yet available in Chinese” in the last paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．Bow-Lingual has not yet appeared in Chinese market.

    B．Bow-Lingual can not yet recognized Chinese dogs' barks.

    C．Chinese dog owners do not know yet how to use Bow-Lingual.

    D．Dog barks can not yet be translated into Chinese phrases with Bow-Lingual.

    5．The writer of this passage is most likely to be ________.

    [　　]

    A．a dog owner
    B．a reporter
    C．an advertiser
    D．an expert on dog barks

    　　I fell in love with England because it was quaint(古雅)－all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls' houses．I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London．I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now．

    　　Things have changed．For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners．The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners－people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing．

    　　I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places．You're forced to live indoors．In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs．To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman．The cafes are not terribly nice．

    　　As a woman, I feel unsafe here．I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m．I used to use it, but now I'm afraid．

    　　The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England．My family is well united and that's typically French．In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now．His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone．

    　　Shopping is not as simple as you may think!There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf．Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell．Health foods are packaged(包装)in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours．Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver．

    　　When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective．

    　　Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package－blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm．The size of a product can attract a shopper．But quite often a bottle doesn't contain as much as it appears to．

    　　It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!

    　　The most successful producers know that it's not enough to have a good product．The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote(推销)their goods, came to the conclusion：“Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it．”

    阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package; what food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!

    　　Retreating(撤退)to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, "There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house．"

    　　The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr．Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me; I cannot be bothered by it．"

    　　The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mouse trap in the house．" "I am so sorry, Mr．Mouse," sympathized the pig, "but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers．"

    　　The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, "Like wow, Mr．Mouse, a mouse trap; am I in grave danger, huh?"

    　　So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer's mouse trap alone．

    　　That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey．The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught．In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught．The snake bit the farmer's wife．The farmer rushed her to the hospital．She returned home with a fever．Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient(成分)．His wife's sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock．To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig．The farmer's wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral the farmer had the cow slaughtered(屠杀)to provide meat for all of them to eat．

    　　So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk．And traps are usually well disguised．
