If you are in town in a western country, you will often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world, but the reason why one keeps a dog has changed.

　 Once upon a time a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told it to. Later people used dogs for the hunting of other animals, and the dogs didn’t eat what they got until their masters agreed, so dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chickens. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to hunt other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city.

　 For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family.

　 A. they train dogs to drive sheep B. they want dogs to frighten thieves for them

　 C. they use dogs for the hunting of other animals

　 D. they want to keep the dogs as friendly members of their families

閱讀理解

　　If you have read the fairytale about the Italian boy Pinocchio, you will remember that every one knew when he lied because his nose grew．But did you know that your brain can also betray(出賣)you when you tell a lie?

　　A study released last Monday showed that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those who are telling the truth．According to the US researchers, this finding could lead to creating a more accurate lie detector(測謊儀)．

　　“There may be separate areas in the brain involved in truth-telling and cheating that can be measured,” said Scott Faro, head of the research group．

　　Faro and other scientists tested nine volunteers．Six of them were asked to shoot a toy gun and then lie and say they didn't do it．Three others who watched told the truth about what happened．

　　The volunteers were connected to a special machine, which used a strong magnet(磁鐵)to provide a real-time picture of brain activity．Clear differences were seen between the liars and the truth-tellers．A total of seven areas were active in the cheating group, but only four in the truth-telling team．

　　“It seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth,” Faro said．

　　The traditional lie-detector machine looks at sweat, skin, breathing and heart rate changes．

　　Using such new technology as a lie detector would be expensive, but it might be worthwhile in some criminal cases．

(1)

At the beginning of the story, the author mentioned Pinocchio in order to ________．

[　　]

A．

introduce something funny about lying

B．

tell you that now in real life liars can be recognized

C．

inform you that criminals can no longer lie without being found out

D．

introduce you to a discovery that another part of your body can give a liar away

(2)

What did Faro and other scientists find?

[　　]

A．

Cheating and truth-telling involve totally different brain areas．

B．

More volunteers are needed to make sure that their technology is reliable．

C．

The differences in brain activities can show whether a person has told a lie．

D．

Telling the truth is much easier than telling a lie．

(3)

Which is the biggest disadvantage of the prospective(預(yù)期的)lie-detector?

[　　]

A．

It could only be used in criminal cases．

B．

Its cost would be very high．

C．

Compared to the traditional lie-detector, it still needs perfecting．

D．

Differences can be shown only in brain activities．

(4)

The main purpose of writing this story is to ________．

[　　]

A．

inform us that a new research suggests a new lie-detector is on the way

B．

warn liars of the possibility of being found out

C．

show that brain does not tell lies

D．

tell truth-teller some good news

Answer each question according to the required words limit．

　　If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport．

　　There are three basic types．Top roping is probably the most common type and is basically climbing with a partner．Lead climbing is very similar to top roping．In both types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope．

　　Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any type of ropes or harnesses(保護(hù)帶)．This is the most challenging of all types of climbing．The climber must be able to complete the task without taking a rest on the rope．

　　Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75％ legs and 25％ arms．To climb successfully, the climber must master a wonderful technique．One of the major rules is to always have 3 points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, it is much easier to have your weight rest on 3 points than on 2．Another important technique to grip(抓緊)is that your arms will not do the climbing in most cases．They only hold you into the wall so that your legs can push you upward．The closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb．

　　Rock climbing may sound too extreme but it is really an amazing exercise and mentally challenging, too．

1．What are the types of rock climbing?(No more than 6 words．)

_____________________

2．Why should rock climbers always have 3 points touching the wall?(No more than 12 word．)

_____________________

3．what’s the main use of the arms when climbing?(No more than 7 words．)

It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible （有責(zé)任的）for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
　　If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
　　My daughter Carla’s fifth - grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a prefect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
　　You can use the same technique when you evaluate （評(píng)價(jià)）your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
　　Learning is a process（過程）of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
【小題1】The whole passage deals with ________.

A．social educationB．school education
