Last summer vacation, I volunteered to work at a vet’s(獸醫(yī)診所). There I saw a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I’d ever seen. Short thin curly hair covered her sausage-shaped(香腸形)body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rats tail.
She was brought to the vet because her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though.“No one should judge her by her looks,”I thought. Finally, I advertised Minnie in the local paper.“Funny-looking dog, well-behaved, needs a loving family.”
When a boy called, I warned him that Minnie was strange-looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car pulled up in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They picked Minnie up and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair. She licked(舔)his face. Her tail wagged(搖擺)around so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body.
“She’s perfect!”the old man said happily.
I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home.
Suddenly, I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white colour—he was blind.
小題1:The last three sentences in the first paragraph tell us      .
A.how funny Minnie lookedB.how well Minnie behaved
C.Minnie was a beautiful dogD.Minnie was dying
小題2:Why did the writer advertise Minnie in the local newspaper?
A.Because he wanted to sell her at a good price.
B.Because he didn’t want her any more, either.
C.Because he wanted to find a family for her.
D.Because he wanted to have another dog.
小題3:Why did the boy who called the writer want Minnie?
A.Because he loved all kinds of dogs very much.
B.Because he had seen Minnie and loved her very much.
C.Because his grandfather’s dog was too old.
D.Because his grandfather’s dog had just died.
小題4:The underlined word“stroke”may mean      .
A.撫摸B.拔C.剪D.揪
小題5:Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Minnie wasn’t the type of dog the old man loved.
B.The old man couldn’t see how funny Minnie looked.

小題3:本文第三段第二句為The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what.所表示的含義為小男孩想要Minnie是因為他祖父的狗死了,故本題選D。
小題4:本文第三段中有一句為the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and stroked her soft hair.所表示的含義為祖父抱著Minnie,應該是用手撫摸著Minnie,故本題選A。

Disasters happen all the time somewhere in the world. Are you ready if one hits your neighborhood next week? Find out what you need to do now before it is too late. Let’s take an earthquake for example.
During an earthquake, get under a strong object like the kitchen table. Don’t leave the building during the shaking, or you might be hurt by falling objects from the outside of the building.
When you are in bed during the night and an earthquake happens,simply roll off the bed. There will be a safe void around the bed.
If you are watching TV and you cannot easily run away by getting out through the door or window, then lie down and curl up(蜷伏) next to a sofa, or a large chair.
Never go to the stairs. The stairs are likely part of the building to be broken. Even if the stairs are not destroyed by the earthquake,they may fall down later when people run down.
Try to get into an open area away from trees,buildings,walls,advertisement boards and power lines if you are outdoors.
If you are driving when an earthquake suddenly happens,just stay in your car until the shaking ends. However, if the footbridge falls and breaks your car,get out of it and sit or lie next to it. All the broken cars have voids 3 feet high next to it.
小題1: What should you do if you are in a building when an earthquake happens?

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.
Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.
When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包裝) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(無效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it appears to.
It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.”
小題1: Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.
A.greenB.blackC.yellowD.brown
小題2:Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?
A.Because of the size of the product.B.Because of the color of the product.
C.Because of the color of the package.D.Because of the cost of the product.
小題3:If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?
A.$ 24B.$ 36C.$ 40D.$ 60
小題4:Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A.The way to sell goods.B.A good product.
C.The one who makes a product.D.A nice color.
小題5:The passage is mainly about ___________on shopping.
A.a(chǎn)dvantages of productsB.the importance of packaging

It’s important to prepare(準備) for earthquakes because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens. Earthquakes may happen at any time, so prepare some things for your home, office and car.
1. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must keep warm. You might not have heat after an earthquake.
Think about your warm clothes.

Keep a flashlight beside you bed, at your office and in your car. Do not use matches(火柴) after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks(氣體泄漏).
Prepare a radio and some spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information(信息來源).
3. Food and medicine.
It’s always a wonderful idea to keep some food on hand. For example, some biscuits, some canned food, milk and some other drinks for at least 72 hours. You’d better get some necessary medicine for your family.
