    Lee Ann Laraway has polio (小儿麻痹症) and is not able to move very much. Most things are out of reach for her. Jeannie, a Labrador retriever, acts as her arms and legs. Jeannie understands 72 or more different commands. On a shopping trip, she can get money for Lee Ann at the bank or candies at the store. She can pay the cashier (收银员) and get change back. Jeannie brings things to Lee Ann and puts them in her lap.
    Jeannie was trained at a place called Canine Companions for Independence, located on twelve acres of land in Santa Rosa (California). The land was donated (捐赠) by the cartoonist Charles Shultz. “We train four different types of dogs here,” said Ken Kirsh, a dog trainer there. “Hearing dogs, service dogs, skilled companion dogs, and facility dogs.”
    Trainers work with Labrador retrievers and golden retrievers for hours a day, but not every dog is good enough to be a working dog.
    The work is a serious business. Hearing dogs warn their owners of sounds like ringing telephones and doorbells. Other dogs work with disabled patients like eight-year-old Noah Habib who communicates with a special computer. He likes it when people come to ask him about his dog. His father says, “People are really interested in the dog and will come over and ask to pet her and play with her, and ask about what she does, and these are people that normally might not approach us and want to talk to Noah.”
    When Lee Ann Laraway comes home with Jeannie and her goods, Jeannie helps her open the door. “You can train a dog to do a lot of things.” said Lee Ann.

    Here’s an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician（魔术师）, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
    As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
    Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.
    Liu is known for his interaction(互动) with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship (演出技巧).
    “It is actually thinking, rather than one’s manipulation(操作)skills, that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more intriguing(吸引人的),”Liu said.
    Liu Qian’s success dates back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.
    Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（业余的） magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a decent(体面的)job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
    To refine（升华） his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields, for pedestrians(路人), policemen and farmers.
    “Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds,” Liu said.

    1. 1.

      Why do people love to watch magic?

      1. A.
        Because Liu Qian is known for his interaction with his audiences.
      2. B.
        Because people love watching magicians make the impossible happen.
      3. C.
        Because people want to know the secret of the magic.
      4. D.
        Because people are curious about everything.
    2. 2.

      3. C.
        Fruitful.
      4. D.
        Experienced.
    3. 3.

      What is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?

        He was good at magic when he was young.
      2. B.
        He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.

        He couldn’t find a decent job after graduation.
      4. D.

    Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar(美洲狮) saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
    Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.

    Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws(爪子) got into his left shoulder. Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫) and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye. Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
    “Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
    The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back.

    I have been teaching in the United States for three semesters. During this time, I have been very impressed with the hardworking American students. Tuition fee (学费) in American universities are pretty expensive. Most American students receive little, if any, financial support. As a result, they have to work hard to pay for their tuition and other basic expenses. Tertiary (高等) education is a necessity in today’s workforce. Young people with higher education are rewarded with a good career and better salary. So how do American students support themselves?
    All my American students have to work to pay for their tuition. For this reason, most universities provide limited jobs for students who need economic help. They also help students search for jobs in the community. I have been touched to see some students are so worn out from their jobs that they doze in my classroom. In addition to taking part-time jobs, students are also expected to take part in various social and sporting activities and, in fact, those who do not take part in are often looked down upon by their peers.
    A number of American university students are married with families, or are single parents. These students are faced with the additional burden of raising a family. They have to spend much time, money and energy caring for their children and family. Most American university professors are strict. They test students on every unit in their course, in addition to mid-term and final exams in each semester. A lack of preparation by students may result in their failure. This means the loss of a lot of money and possibly future employment opportunities for these students. For this reason, many American students will study or stay up all night before an exam, in an effort to pass.
    In contrast, Chinese students have a much easier time, because most Chinese parents pay for their kids’ tertiary education. Moreover, Chinese students do not need to worry about raising children or maintaining a family. So, Chinese students have no reason for not studying hard and achieving good marks.

    1. 1.

      Which of the following is not the difficulty American students have to face?

      1. A.
        They have to work hard to pay for the high tuition fee.
      2. B.
        Many American students have a burden of a family.
      3. C.
        They need a better education to get a best job.
      4. D.
        They have to pass strict tests to complete their education.
    2. 2.

      Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

      1. A.
        American students have no time to think of physical exercise.
      2. B.
        Sporting activities are popular among American students.
      3. C.
        American students should take part in various social activities.
      4. D.
        Those who don’t participate in social and sporting activities are usually unpopular with their peers.
    3. 3.

      Compared with American students, Chinese university students __________.

      1. A.
        have no difficulty in raising a family
      2. B.
        live an easy life in universities
      3. C.
        don’t have to take full-time jobs
      4. D.
        have more duty to make greater progress
    4. 4.

      This passage mainly deals with __________.

      1. A.
        part-time jobs chosen by American students
      2. B.
        the high fees of American universities
      3. C.
        difficult lives American students have to face
      4. D.
        different opinions on American universities

    A daughter’s duty? Adult daughters are often expected to caregiver for older parents. In 2007, Jorjan Sarich and her dad moved from California to Idaho. It was where he wanted to live his rest time.
    “I left my occupation, I left my friends; he did the same thing,” said Sarich, who bought a house with her father, George Snyder, in the China Gardens neighborhood of Hailey after his health began to decline. Though a graduate student struggling to finish her dissertation（论文）, Sarich chose to be her dad’s full-time caregiver.
    “It’s only now, several years later, that I’m realizing how much work it was. It’s the kind of exhaustion（疲惫）that sleep doesn’t cure,” she said.
    About 6 million Americans provide care to elderly relatives or friends living outside of nursing homes. Laurel Kennedy, author of “The Daughter Trap” (Thomas Dunne Books, $25.95), says that women bear a disproportionate（不成比例的）share of the burden — about 70 percent of hands-on care giving such as bathing.
    “I want to be clear: Women don’t hate this,” Kennedy said. “What they hate is that everyone just assumes they’ll do it.”
    Kennedy is calling for a social revolution equal to the rise of affordable child care and day care: Employers should help working caregivers by offering accommodations. Men should step up more often. It’s unfair that women are always chosen to provide care for an elderly family member.
    Despite the hard work it took on Sarich — interrupted sleep and the knowledge that his 2009 death was the end game, she would do it again. Since about half a century had gone by, she wasn’t the person he remembered, and he wasn’t the person she remembered either. Caring for her father changed how each saw the other.

    1. 1.

      Why did Jorjan Sarich caregiver for her father?

      1. A.
        It was a very easy job.
      2. B.
        She had no work to do.
      3. C.
        It was the social practice.
      4. D.
        She lived with her father.
    2. 2.

      What can we infer from the book “The Daughter Trap”?

      1. A.
        Daughters don’t like care giving.
      2. B.
        Daughters devote a lot to care giving.
      3. C.
        Care giving is daughters’ duty.
      4. D.
        Care giving should be sons’ duty.
    3. 3.

      What does the underlined phrase “a social revolution” refer to?

      1. A.
        The child care revolution.
      2. B.
        The reform in day care.
      3. C.
        The social development.
      4. D.
        The change in care giving.
    4. 4.

      How many years did Jorjan Sarich work as her father’s full-time caregiver?

      1. A.
        Five years.
      2. B.
        Only one year.
      3. C.
        Four years.
      4. D.
        Two years.
    5. 5.

      In her care giving, Jorjan Sarich _____.

      1. A.
        got along well with her father
      2. B.
        was a little tired of her father
      3. C.
        changed her father in every way

    My mother was a household servant. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a ruse. My mother had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.
    When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didn’t care.
    One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”
    I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.
    I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual(理智的) preparation. I went back to my studies and became an A-student again. I dreamed of becoming a doctor when I was just a kid. And now I have achieved my dream.
    Over the years my mother’s changeless faith in God has inspired me, particularly when I found myself faced with my own medical illness. A few years ago I discovered I had a very serious cancer; I was told it might have spread to my spine(脊柱). My mother believed in God very much. She never worried. She said that God would never throw me away forever; there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in spine turned out to be not bad; I was able to have surgery and am cured.
    My story is really my mother’s story -a woman little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.
