I was wandering around the Albuquerque airport. My flight had been 41 ,and I heard a(n) 42 : “If anyone pear Gate A-4 43 Arabic(阿拉伯語) ,
please come to the gate immediately." Gate A-4 was my own gate. I went there.
An older woman was 44 ,sitting on the floor. In her 45 Arabic dress,she reminded me of my grandmother.
“46 to her,” the flight agent urged. “We told her the flight was going to be late,and she did this."
I spoke to the woman 47 in Arabic while putting my arm around her. She 48 crying. It turned out that she thought the 49 had been canceled. She planned to be in New York for some medical treatment the next day. I comforted her and suggested 50 her family.
We telephoned her son. In English,I told him that I would 51 with his mother until we got on the plane. Then his son was 52 . Next we called my dad. They spoke for a while in Arabic and 53 that they had ten shared friends. After that,I called some Arabic friends I 54 and let them talk to her.
She was in a 55 wood (情緒) by then and took some homemade 56 — little cakes stuffed with nuts and topped with sugar 一 from her bag and 57 them to the people near the gate. To my amazement,no one 58 . It was like a party. The traveler from Argentina,the mom from California,the lovely woman from Laredo — we were all smiling,enjoying the same 59 .
I looked around and thought,this is the world I want to live in. One with no 60 . Everyone can be happy anywhere.

Monique Udell,a researcher with Oregon State University,got the help of ten domesticated(馴養(yǎng)的) dogs,ten dogs that live in shelters,and ten wolves raised by humans. Each of the animals was presented with a tasty sausage which they could smell,but not eat. The sausage was then placed inside a plastic container with a cover connected to a short length of rope. In order to open the container and eat the sausage,they had to pull on the rope while holding down the container,a task considered fairly simple for dogs and wolves. The experiment was conducted in two ways,one in which the animals were alone,and the other one in which they were with their owners.
Surprisingly,none of the pet dogs was able to complete the task,and only one of the shelter dogs did so. However,eight out of ten wolves succeeded.
The presence of a human made no difference. When the owner offered encouragements,four of the shelter dogs were able to access the sausage,but still only one pet managed to do it.
Udell also made an interesting note: pet dogs have lived alongside humans for a long time,and therefore,when feeling confused about a new situation,they tend to look at their owners for help. The dogs were asking for help,while the wolves didn't give up and tried to solve the problem themselves.
This experiment seems to show that something about being pets made dogs lose a big part of their motivation and this affects their problem-solving ability. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that shelter dogs did somewhat better than house dogs — which indicates that being a pet makes dogs “softer” and less motivated to solve problems. However,things are not as simple as saying that wolves are “smarter” or “more creative” than dogs.
28. The sausages used in the experiment.
A. had a disgusting smell
B. came from some shelters
C. were directly tied to a rope
D. could be reached with very little effort
29. As for the pet dogs in the experiment,the presence of their owners .
A. produced a negative result
B. made them totally confused
C. had little effect on their performance
D. gave them the greatest encouragement
30. What does the underlined part “do it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Pull on the rope. B. Smell the sausage.
C. Open the container. D. Make a difference.
31. The experiment shows that .
A. dogs hate being kept as pets
B. pets have lost part of their wild nature
C. shelter dogs seldom turn to others for help
D. wolves are smarter and more creative than dogs

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:
Mary Streech and her friends stood by the water fountain,talking casually. It was like any other day in the seventh grade,Mary remembers,until someone pointed to a girl walking by and said,“She's so chunky( 矮胖的) .”
As the others joined in,it became clear: “Being chunky” was a crime. And this girl was guilty as charged.
At first,Mary felt relieved that they weren’t ragging on her,but by that night,the day's events had given her a stomachache. “After that,I became extremely sensitive,” she says. “If anybody looked at me too long,I'd assume they were sizing up my body”
By high school,she says, “it was like being in a shark tank." Mean comments about people's bodies were the norm,so Mary started to diet 一 she wrongly believed that watching her weight could protect her from their judgment. And sadly,one year later,that diet had developed into a serious eating disorder.
Now recovered,Mary is fighting to end that culture of hurtful comments 一 what she calls “bodysnarking." And her timing couldn’t be,better: As we spend more and more time critiquing each other's selfies (自拍照) ,openly judging other people's looks is becoming a national pastime of sorts.
In fact,many experts believe body-shaming others has become a way to deal with our own emotions. “Sometimes our natural response is to criticize an easy target when we feel hurt or insecure,” says psychologist Robyn Silverman.
This tendency to attack appearances is especially dangerous for teens,whose bodies — and identities — are still developing. Even if someone else's insecurities are fueling the verbal fire,it's hard to see it that way if you’ re the one being criticized.
The best news of all,says Aaron Blashill,a psychologist at Harvard Medical School,is that our most effective defense against the culture of criticism is to not be our own body bullies(恃強凌弱的人) .He has conducted studies showing that there's a strong link between how we feel about our appearance and our overall happiness,despite whatever shape or size we happen to be. “It's more important to change how you think about your body than to change what it looks like ,” he says.
25. The day described in Paragraph 1 became special to Mary.
A. because a girl was bullied
B. because of a serious crime
C. because of the water fountain
D. because her friends talked to her
26. What caused Mary to struggle with an eating disorder?
A. Her friends dieting to keep healthy.
B. Her being criticized for being chunky.
C. Her friends looking at her for a long time.
D. Her dieting to avoid body image problems.
27. What does Mary mean by “bodysnarking”?
A. Strengthening the muscles of the body.
B. Returning to the normal state of health.
C. Controlling the movement of one's body.
D. Criticizing somebody for their appearances.
28. We can infer from the last paragraph that to be happy,people should .
A. be content with their bodies
B. make friends with the tolerant
C. try to make themselves look better
D. avoid paying attention to their bodies

I was on my way school,this afternoon when I met with a young American couple. They looked worrying,so I went up to them and asked if only they’d like any help. They said that they wanted to go to the railway station,but they didn’t know the way. Heard this,I offered to lead them here. They were so thankful to me that they said “thank you” again and again but I felt very proud of me. But when I arrived at the school,I found myself later for class. I had to explain that had happened to my teacher. She said I have done a good deed and praised me.
