Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. I

f you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists' advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform. specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfied with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love for its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

Which of the following is Not true according to the passage？

A．You can always get help from, the specialists.

B．It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.

C．You should decide what kind of dog you want.

D．Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.

阅读理解 Researches say people traveling in traffic are three times more likely to suf

fer a heart attack. They say the risk of a heart attack is greatest within an hour of being in traffiC.

The findings are based on a German study of almost 700 people who suffered heart attacks. The patients described their activities during the four days before their heart attack. Researchers found that those who had been in traffic were three times more likely to have a heart attack within one hour, compared to those who had not been in traffiC. Most of those in the study had been traveling by car. But some had been on bicycles and others were on buses.

Research shows that people in cars and buses are exposed to ten times the amount of pollutants as people walking on the street. That is largely because they breathe in the particles and gasses released from the vehicles in front of them.

Over time, these small particles speed the buildup of a sticky substance in the blooD. This can cause blockages(阻塞) to form. in the arteries(动脉) around the heart and lead to a heart attack.

Other studies have also linked heart trouble to stress, similar to the kind that people face while driving in heavy traffiC. But the researchers of the latest study say they do not know whether the increased heart attack risk was the result of stress or pollution. They suggest it may be a combination of stress, noise and pollution. Experts say the research shows the need fro cleaner vehicles and better city planning.

9.According to the study, which of the following ways is the safest in traffic？

A. Driving a car

B. Walking on the street

C. Taking a bus

D. Riding a bicycle

9.From among the 700 people who suffered heart attacks we learn that ______.

A. those who have been in traffic are three times as many as those who have not

B. those who have been in traffic for more than one hour are most likely to suffer heart attacks

C. the risk of a heart attack is three higher among those who have been in traffic than those who have not

D. Most of the subjects (实验对象) felt uncomfortable during the four days before the attack

9.The particles released from vehicles ______.

A. build up in the blood

B. become blockages in the arteries

C. make the blood more sticky

D. do harm to the heart

9.According to the studies, which of the following is NOT a likely cause of heart attack？

A. Stress

B. Noise

C. Air pollution

D. Traffic accident

9.What suggestion do experts make to lower the risk？

A. Reducing traffic as much as possible.

B. Living away from nose.

C. Planting more trees in the city.

D. Making vehicles clean.

Sleep Deficit(不足)

Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior. agree that is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation. "I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to. " says Dr. David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest.

The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries and other personal accounts from the 18th 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9. 5 hours a night. "The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark. " By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7. 5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. "People cheat on their sleep, and they don't even realize they're doing it, " says Dr. David. "They think they're okay because they can get by on 6. 5 hours, when they really need 7. 5, 8 or even more to feel ideally vigorous. "

"Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep, " researchers say, "is the complexity of the day. " Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his program. "In our society, you're considered dynamic if you say you only need 5. 5 hours' sleep. If you've got to get 8. 5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition. "

To determine the consequences of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or re call a page read to them only minutes earlier. "We've found that if you're in sleep deficit, performance suffers, " says Dr. David. "Shot-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decision and to concentrate.

People in the 18th and 19th centuries used to sleep about 5 hours a night because they had ______.

A．no drive and ambition

B．no electric lighting

C．the best sleep habits

D．a lot to of the next day

阅读理解：If you think a high-factor sunscreen（防晒霜)keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong

Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

If you think a high-factor sunscreen(防晒霜)keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week's Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it can't prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.

There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas—the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn't have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection—not sunscreen—seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it's not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.

Many people also don't use sunscreen properly-applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying-recent shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.

The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on(抹上)sunscreen and slap on a hat.

1.What is people's common expectation of a high-factor sunscreen？

A.It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.

B.It will protect them from sunburn.

C.It will keep their skin smooth and fair.

D.It will work for people of any skin color.

2.What does the research in Nature say about a high-factor sunscreen？

A.It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.

B.It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.

C.It is ineffective with long-term exposure.

D.It is ineffective for people with fair skin.

3.What do we learn from the 2011Australian study of 1,621 people？

A.Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.

B.High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.

C.Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.

D.Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.

4.What does the author say about the second Australian study？

A.It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.

B.It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.

C.It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.

D.It confirms the results of the first Australian study.

5.What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates？

A.Using both covering up and sunscreen.

B.Staying in the shade whenever possible.

C.Using covering up instead of sunscreen.

D.Applying the right amount of sunscreen.

When Mrs. Joseph Groger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked, "Why did

she live to be 107？" Answers were provided by an investigation made among 148 Viennese 一 men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most their lives in cities. In spite of the city's image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to these long-lived persons.

This factor is exercise. In the cities, it is often faster and less frustrating to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so tenants must climb stairs. City dwellers(居民) can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.

On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact the opposite is often true. To go to school, work or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

1)、The Vienna survey may help to explain the long life of people like Mrs. Groger.

A.T

B.F

2)、The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some comments made by city dwellers.

A.T

B.F

3)、To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthy to walk up the stairs.

A.T

B.F

4)、Suburban people probably drive rather than walk because they don't need exercises.

A.T

B.F

5)、We can conclude from the passage that walking is a healthy exercise.

Like a needle climbing up a bathroom scale, the number keeps rising. In 1991, 15% of Ameri

cans were obese (肥胖的); by 1999, that proportion had grown to 27%. Youngsters, who should have age and activity on their side, are growing larger as well: 19% of Americans under 17 are obese. Waistbands have been popping in other western countries too, as physical activity has dechned and diets have expanded. By and large, people in the rich world seem to have lost the fight against flab (松弛).

Meanwhile, poorer nations have enjoyed some success in their battles against malnutrition and famine. Bat, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, it is more a case of being out of the frying pan and into the fire. The most striking example actually in the poor world comes from the Pacific islands, home of the world's most obese communities. In 1966, 14% of the men on this island were obese while 100% of men under the age of 30 in 1996 were obese.

This increase in weight has been uneven as well as fast. As a result, undernourished and overnourished people frequently live cheek by jowl (面颊). The mix can even occur within a single household. A study of families in Indonesia found that nearly 10% contained both the hungry and the fat. This is a mysterious phenomenon, but might have something to do with people of different ages being given different amounts of food to eat.

The prospect of heading off these problems is bleak. In many affected countries there are cultural factors to contend with, such as an emphasis on eating large meals together, or on food as a form. of hospitality. Moreover, there is a good measure of disbelief on the part of policymakers that such a problem could exist in their countries. Add to that reluctance on the part of governments to spend resources on promoting diet and exercise while starvation is still a real threat, and the result is a recipe for inaction. Unless something is done soon, it might not be possible to turn the clock back.

The first sentence of the passage most probably implies that ________.

A．many Americans are obsessed with the rising temperature in their bathroom

B．more people are overweighed in the United States

C．people are doing more physical exercises with the help of scales

D．youngsters become taller and healthier thanks to more activities

CYCLES MOVE WITH THE TIMES

Times have been hard for the UK cycle industry. Poor weather and competition from abroad have had a serious effect on sales. Manufacturers have had to cut back and last month more than 40 job losses were announced at Cycle World, one of the country's main bicycle factories in Leicester. But the company says it is fighting to win back customers, using such strategies as improved after-sales and bikes built to specific customer requirements.

Two years ago, Cycle World sold off its bike-making machinery in an effort to cut costs and save money. The company's Leicester factory is now only an assembly plant as most of the parts are imported.

The company produces half a million bikes a year across the full Cycle World range, with nearly all of these being sold in the UK. Production is largely done by hand. Workers use the batch production method - everyone making up to 600 bikes of a particular model at any one time.

At the height of its success, Cycle World employed 7,000 people but, like many areas of manufacturing, it has since shrunk. Its 1950s purpose- built factory now employs just 470 permanent workers, with numbers rising to 700 as temporary staff are taken on to meet seasonal demands in sales.

The weather has encouraged more people to buy bikes.

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say

A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers（消费者) will spend their money

A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers(消费者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.

If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or 'decreasing incomes—he would probably answer, those with decreasing incomes. Actually, in the years 1947~1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(假设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months", she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things". Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyers' resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment; "I just don't pay these prices; they are too high".

The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America; condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理学).

According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way people spend their money, he should______.

A．rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending

B．try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money

C．carry out investigations on consumer behavior. and get data of consumers incomes and money spending motives

D．do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory
