二、阅读理解
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Golddiggers(淘金者) had found gold in northwest Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck had lived in Mr Miller's house for four years since he was born. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many other dogs, but they lived together in the kennels(犬舍), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. He was king-king over the whole of Mr Miller's lands. He went swimming with Mr Miller's sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter.
It was 1897 and the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to northwest Canada for golddigging. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller's farmers, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr Miller was away on business, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck.
Buck growled(低吼). Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger. The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back. For a few moments he was unable to move. When the train arrived, the man threw him into the train. . .

The Paralympic Games(残奥会) are a part of the Olympics. They happen at the same time as the Olympics, but they are different. The athletes in the Paralympic Games all have disabilities. Some of them have physical disabilities. For example, they might be blind, or they might need wheelchairs. Other people have intellectual disabilities.
On 29 July 1948, the day of the Opening Ceremony(开幕式) of the London Olympic Games, Dr. Guttmann organized the first competition for wheelchair athletes. He named it the Stoke Mandeville Games. It was a milestone( 里程碑 ) event in Paralympic history. Sixteen soldiers who were hurt in World War II took part in archery(射箭).
The Stoke Mandeville Games later became the Paralympic Games which first took place in Rome, Italy, in 1960. About 400 athletes from 23 countries played in eight sports. Since then they have taken place every four years. People who weren’t soldiers were allowed to play in the games for the first time.
In 1976, the Paralympic Games grew bigger. The 1976 Paralympic Games had swimming, table tennis, volleyball, and 10 other sports. The Games saw 1,657 Para athletes from 40 countries take part. This year the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden, with only two sports—skiing and ice sledge racing. The most recent Paralympic Games took place in Rio in 2016. It had 22 sports and 4,328 (2,657 men and 1,671 women) athletes from 159 countries. About 2.15 million peoplewatched the games at the stadiums. It set a record(创纪录) of 4.1 billion TV viewers. The Paralympic Games are to give people confidence. Many Paralympic athletes can show other disabled people that if they work hard and don’t give up, they can do anything they want to do.
