First time dog owners may meet many problems and get to know how to train their pets. Sometimes a puppy, or even an older dog, will chew their fingers or bite them. Even in play, this can really hurt. Unfortunately, many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog. However, when the dog gets larger, it is not fun to be bitten by it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human skin or clothing is an important lesson. From now on, if you feel your dog’s teeth while you are playing with him, say “Ouch” in a loud voice and move away from him. He will soon learn that when he bites, you will not play with him any more.
Many people have another bad habit. They tend to allow their pets to bite and hold on to clothing. Don’t let your dog do this to you. When he does something you want him to do, praise him and tell him he’s a good dog. You can also give him a treated at the same time he performs the good behavior. Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not. Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dog when he does what you want him to, he will become very well-behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a tied stocking or an old shoe. If he chews the wrong thing, take it away while saying “No” and give him something he can chew. If dogs are trained well, they will truly be your friends for a lifetime.

When you want to call a store or an office that you don’t often call, you may look the number up in a telephone book. You dial the number, and then you forget it! Your short-term memory (短期记忆) lasts about 30 seconds. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years.
Why do you forget things sometimes? There are several reasons. An important reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and soon you forget their names. You hear the names but you don’t learn them, so you forget them.

Family rules help children learn what is and isn’t OK in the family. Following them can help children learn to follow rules in other places, so it’s not good to make rules too late. Good family rules are easy for children to understand.
One day, on the way home from school, my mom tells me she is going to make some new rules for me, also for my brothers and sisters. Before this, we know she wants us to be good, but we really don’t have any rules. Well, Mom cares about that. On Sunday she starts giving us some new rules. Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. That means sitting at the table with clean hands. If Mom is having a meeting in the house, be quiet. That means turning down the music and the TV. Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. and get up at 7:30 a.m. to prepare for school. Take out the rubbish on Monday morning before going to school. Clean the bathroom on Friday.
Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. But in other times, it can be tough. For example, if your room is really dirty and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with something else you have to do. That isn’t easy.
Mom makes these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and tidy and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules. These rules help make our family warm and happy. I feel lucky to grow up in such a family.

“I wish I had straight hair”, “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (社交媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence (自信).
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
1.What does the writer think of the pictures on TV and social media?
A.They are perfect for people to follow.
B.They may give wrong ideas of looks.
C.They show everyone is different.
D.They show people how to behave kindly.
2.What does the underlined word “agitated” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Scared. B.Serious. C.Careless. D.Worried.
3.Which of the following will Parnell agree with?
A.You should accept your body as it is. B.You should avoid talking about others’ bodies.
C.You should spend more money on your appearance. D.You should remember what you used to be like.
4.According to Parnell, which of the following can not help us develop a positive body image?
A.Talk positively about other people’s bodies.
B.Don’t pay too much attention to appearance.
C.Eat different kinds of foods as much as you like.
D.Think about what your body does for you.

What will the weather be like? Some animals can tell the weather. If people want to know the weather, they can watch the animals.
When the weather is not good, sea birds will stay on the shore (海岸). They don’t like to fly (飞) in the strong wind. They may stay in a tree when a heavy rain is coming. But when we see sea birds flying high in the sky, we can know it will be a sunny day.
When the rain is on the way, the ants (蚂蚁) will move their houses from the low(低的) places to the high (高的) places, because they are afraid the rain will submerge their homes.
When it’s going to rain, the frogs (青蛙) will stay in the water and make big noise (噪音) with “croak, croak”. But if it is a fine day, the frogs will be out of the water and make big noise.
People living on the farm can also watch the animals to tell the weather. When a heavy rain is coming, the chickens will make big noise with “peep, peep” and run here and there.

Many people have said that you can experience all four seasons in a single day in Britain. I finally got it recently.
It was a Saturday morning and raining lightly. Mom and I were going to the cinema. But the rain didn’t put us off; we’ve had far worse than that!
After the film was over, we could see from the cinema window that the rain was pouring down. But when we reached the exit, the weather was completely normal. There was no rain, just wind and bright sunshine. It was amazing.
Since the weather was looking good, we decided to go to the Botanic Garden in the afternoon. However, on the way there, there was another shower—this time of snow. I was excited about the snow; Mom was busy trying to get me into my raincoat. Then, dramatically, the snow stopped. We were startled. And guess what? The same thing happened four more times that afternoon.
If you think that was the end, think again. The next day, on Sunday, when I pulled back the curtains, the world was covered in a blanket of snow. I quickly got dressed and ran out of the house. A few minutes later, I’d made a big snowman in the back garden. The snow was already up to my heels and I didn’t think it would stop the whole day.
But a little later it did stop. That was at 11 in the morning; by 4 pm all the snow had disappeared. The sun had come out again, shining brightly as “normal”!

New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation.
In New York you can travel around the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the quickest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s slower(更慢的) way to travel. This is because the bus moves on the road and the traffic is often heavy.
You can travel around the city by taxi, too. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the place you wish to go to. If the traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially(尤其是) when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident(交通事故) on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.

First time dog owners may meet many problems and get to know how to train their pets. Sometimes a puppy, or even an older dog, will chew their fingers or bite them. Even in play, this can really hurt. Unfortunately, many pet owners tolerate this in a young dog. However, when the dog gets larger, it is not fun to be bitten by it. Training a dog never to place his teeth on human skin or clothing is an important lesson. From now on, if you feel your dog’s teeth while you are playing with him, say “Ouch” in a loud voice and move away from him. He will soon learn that when he bites, you will not play with him any more.
Many people have another bad habit. They tend to allow their pets to bite and hold on to clothing. Don’t let your dog do this to you. When he does something you want him to do, praise him and tell him he’s a good dog. You can also give him a treated at the same time he performs the good behavior. Eventually he will learn which kind of behavior is acceptable and which is not. Remember that reward is more effective than punishment. If you reward your dog when he does what you want him to, he will become very well-behaved. Also remember that puppies need to chew on something. So give him a tied stocking or an old shoe. If he chews the wrong thing, take it away while saying “No” and give him something he can chew. If dogs are trained well, they will truly be your friends for a lifetime.

When you want to call a store or an office that you don’t often call, you may look the number up in a telephone book. You dial the number, and then you forget it! Your short-term memory (短期记忆) lasts about 30 seconds. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it.

Family rules help children learn what is and isn’t OK in the family. Following them can help children learn to follow rules in other places, so it’s not good to make rules too late. Good family rules are easy for children to understand.
One day, on the way home from school, my mom tells me she is going to make some new rules for me, also for my brothers and sisters. Before this, we know she wants us to be good, but we really don’t have any rules. Well, Mom cares about that. On Sunday she starts giving us some new rules. Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. That means sitting at the table with clean hands. If Mom is having a meeting in the house, be quiet. That means turning down the music and the TV. Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. and get up at 7:30 a.m. to prepare for school. Take out the rubbish on Monday morning before going to school. Clean the bathroom on Friday.
Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. But in other times, it can be tough. For example, if your room is really dirty and you can’t finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with something else you have to do. That isn’t easy.
Mom makes these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and tidy and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules. These rules help make our family warm and happy. I feel lucky to grow up in such a family.

“I wish I had straight hair”, “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (社交媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self-confidence (自信).
Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and do well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.”
It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parnell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you; do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look.
1.What does the writer think of the pictures on TV and social media?
A.They are perfect for people to follow.
B.They may give wrong ideas of looks.
C.They show everyone is different.
D.They show people how to behave kindly.
2.What does the underlined word “agitated” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Scared. B.Serious. C.Careless. D.Worried.
3.Which of the following will Parnell agree with?
A.You should accept your body as it is. B.You should avoid talking about others’ bodies.
C.You should spend more money on your appearance. D.You should remember what you used to be like.
4.According to Parnell, which of the following can not help us develop a positive body image?
A.Talk positively about other people’s bodies.
B.Don’t pay too much attention to appearance.
C.Eat different kinds of foods as much as you like.
D.Think about what your body does for you.
5.What is the main purpose (目的) of the passage?

What will the weather be like? Some animals can tell the weather. If people want to know the weather, they can watch the animals.
When the weather is not good, sea birds will stay on the shore (海岸). They don’t like to fly (飞) in the strong wind. They may stay in a tree when a heavy rain is coming. But when we see sea birds flying high in the sky, we can know it will be a sunny day.
When the rain is on the way, the ants (蚂蚁) will move their houses from the low(低的) places to the high (高的) places, because they are afraid the rain will submerge their homes.
When it’s going to rain, the frogs (青蛙) will stay in the water and make big noise (噪音) with “croak, croak”. But if it is a fine day, the frogs will be out of the water and make big noise.

Many people have said that you can experience all four seasons in a single day in Britain. I finally got it recently.
It was a Saturday morning and raining lightly. Mom and I were going to the cinema. But the rain didn’t put us off; we’ve had far worse than that!
After the film was over, we could see from the cinema window that the rain was pouring down. But when we reached the exit, the weather was completely normal. There was no rain, just wind and bright sunshine. It was amazing.
Since the weather was looking good, we decided to go to the Botanic Garden in the afternoon. However, on the way there, there was another shower—this time of snow. I was excited about the snow; Mom was busy trying to get me into my raincoat. Then, dramatically, the snow stopped. We were startled. And guess what? The same thing happened four more times that afternoon.
If you think that was the end, think again. The next day, on Sunday, when I pulled back the curtains, the world was covered in a blanket of snow. I quickly got dressed and ran out of the house. A few minutes later, I’d made a big snowman in the back garden. The snow was already up to my heels and I didn’t think it would stop the whole day.
But a little later it did stop. That was at 11 in the morning; by 4 pm all the snow had disappeared. The sun had come out again, shining brightly as “normal”!

New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation.
In New York you can travel around the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the quickest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s slower(更慢的) way to travel. This is because the bus moves on the road and the traffic is often heavy.
