Pets for the English

An American visitor had once suffered for a week as a guest in a fairly typical English home.(29)_____The owner of the dogs engaged them in non-stop chat and laughed lovingly at their misbehaviors. She complained that the owner&39;s relationship with these pets was "abnormal" and "unhealthy".
The English are allowed to criticize their own pets. But this must be done in friendly and joking tones.(30)_____They may lovingly talk about the items their dogs have eaten or destroyed."It wasn&39;t just shoes and ordinary things, mine used to eat mobile phones" "Well, mine chewed a whole Hi-Fi system to bits!"

The Story of Milton Hershey
Almost every kid in the US has eaten a famous Hershey chocolate bar. But people know that the Hershey chocolate factory is only about 100 years old.Even fewer know that its founder, Milton Hershey, had suffered many failures before he started his famous company.
Milton grew up in the farm country of Pennsylvania. He was first trained to become a printer. After working for a small newspaper for a short time, he decided that printing was not for him. Then he got a job at a candy factory. After a few years,he decided to open his own little candy business. But this first business had to close down because it was not making money. Then, Milton travelled to Denver to learn how to make caramels(黄油奶糖).He took his new skills to New York City and sold candies on the street. But this second business also failed.
Soon afterwards, he moved back to his hometown. There he experimented with all sorts of candies and chocolates. By 1893, he was selling a million dollars’ worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored(巧克力口味的)caramels were the best-selling, he decided to make chocolate himself. He learned how to make delicious chocolate by adding fresh milk. His milk chocolate turned out to be a great success. So he sold his caramel factory and focused on making chocolate only.
In 1903,Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire town to go with it. Today, the town of Hershey is still the home of the Hershey chocolate factory. You can smell the delicious chocolate smells just by driving through the town.

The Truth about Left-Handed People
About 90% of people in the world today arc right-handed. The other 10% arc left-handed, including Obama, the President of the US. Every day, left-handed folks quietly face problems. It could be something as simple as driving a car or using a can opener.
Why are so few of us left-handed? One theory is that handedness (hand preference) could be a result of genetics. Scientists say that there are two genes(基因)associated with handedness. One is the D gene. It is more frequent in the population and promotes(促成)right-hand preference. The other is the C gene. It has the ability to promote a preference for cither hand.When the C gene is present, there is a 50% chance that a person could be right- or left-handed.
Another theory has to do with human brains, which arc made up of two halves. If the left half is more powerful, then one is most likely right-handed. But with left-handers, it is more complicated.Seventy percent of them are also left-brain dominant(占优势的). The other 30% have right-side dominant brains.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, left-handedness was considered a disability. But not all of the myths about left-handers are bad. One myth suggests that they are more creative and smarter than the right-handers. So far scientific research has yet to find any truth to these claims. In fact, a 2013 survey out of New Zealand found that left-handers and right-handers were the same.
Life might be a little more complicated for left-handers when it comes to cutting a piece of paper or opening a bottle of wine. However, it seems to be a good sign if you are trying to make it to the White House.
The right-handers arc nine times as many as the left-handers.
A.True
B.False

Using a can opener could be a problem for left-handers.A.True

Men are more likely to be left-handed than women.A.True

Some scientists believe that handedness is decided by genes.A.True

or to get a short-term loan. Pawn shops may be large or small, clean or dirty, but they are all full of stories. The United States has about ten thousand of them. ②In the past few years, pawn shops have been doing business with more people than ever before. That is because many lenders(贷方)now do business only with individuals having good credit records or a high-paying job. Often, the individuals most in need of a loan have poor credit records. But they do not need a good job or credit record to get a loan from a pawnbroker(典当商). They only need to have something of value. ③When a traditional lender agrees to provide a loan, it may take days or weeks before an individual receives the money. But pawnbrokers will give a loan in just a few minutes based on the resale value of an object and without asking about the person’s job or credit history. ④Many pawn shops specialize in jewelry. But most shops accept almost anything of value, including computers, musical instruments, guns, old coins and so on. The item itself acts as the security, or collateral(抵押物), for the loan. If the loan is not repaid, the object can be sold.Customers can get the object back at any time by repaying the loan plus the interest and fees they agreed to pay. Or they can pay the interest and leave the item at the pawn shop for a while longer. ⑤The National Pawnbrokers Association is a national trade group representing pawnbrokers. The association calls pawn-brokering “one of humankind’s oldest financial institutions.” It says pawnbrokers operated three thousand years ago in ancient China and in early Greek and Roman times.

ld this animal is, you might wonder how it can survive in a world full of enemies. But then you've also probably noticed its strong hind(后面的)legs. Those legs give it plenty of speed. And you know how rapidly hares and rabbits breed(繁殖). That’s another reason why they manage to survive. Hares and rabbits have long, sharp front teeth. Their hind legs are longer than their front legs so that they run faster uphill than downhill. When they are hunted, they use tricks such as taking huge leaps to break the smell or signal danger to each other by hitting the ground with their hind feet. Hares and rabbits are purely vegetarians(素食者). They can live very well on the inner bark f trees. There are many differences between hares and rabbits. Hares are larger, and their feet and ears are longer. Hares do not dig holes or live in groups, as do rabbits. Hares are born pen-eyed and with thick fur, while rabbits are born blind and hairless. North America is the home of many different types of hares. One of the best known is the jack hare, a large hare with very long ears. Jacks are so fast that they can sometimes make a leap of six meters. The March hare, whom we know from Alice in Wonderland, is a common European hare. In March, they are always busy in mating, thus acquiring its name. Unlike hares, rabbits are social animals, living together in holes. A rabbit may mate when it is six months old and its young are born within a month. So if the rabbit has no natural enemies, it can become quite a pest. People are curious about the survival of the hare because_____.A.their legs are not strong enough
B.their growth is not fast enough
C.they are too gentle
D.they run too slow
Hares and rabbits use tricks when they_____.A.run uphill
B.are hunted
C.signal danger
D.take huge leaps
Rabbits' natural enemies prevent them from_____.A.becoming a big trouble
B.breeding when young
C.living in holes
D.becoming social animals
Compared with hares, rabbits_____.A.have longer feet
B.have thicker fur
C.are born pen-eyed
D.like to live in groups
Many people get to know the March hare from the fact that it_____.A.has long ears and legs
B.digs a lot of holes in March
C.can make a leap of six meters
D.appears in Alice in Wonderland

e asked, "Who are your two best friends, Helen?" "Jill and Jaime." "Well, what about Karen and Cindy?" "I don't know who their best friends are." "No," she said. "I mean, why aren't they your best friends?" She seemed upset and hurt. "But they're my sisters." "Yes, but they can still be your best friends. Friends may come and go, but your sisters will always be there for you." At the time, the idea of my sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We used to fight over toys, food, attention and what to watch on television. But my mother never let the three of us forget it: sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish was to give us something that she had never had. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment(实现)of her dream had only just begun. She had given us each a gift—our sisters—and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were, constantly take us to places together so we grew closer, and would even punish us equally, giving us yet another bonding(亲密关系)experience. It was somewhere in between Mom's lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories that we realized that Mom was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I share with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, holding hands when crossing the finishing line. When Karen got married, I was her maid of honor. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets. It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn't have t. She already knows.
