The story of Juno and Lucas is one of the most touching stories about the amazing relationship between humans and their companion animals.

Juno is a Belgian Malinois（比利時馬犬）. The dog was beautiful but was given up by its owners, as they did not want to take on the responsibility.

Lucas, a little boy, had a strange illness, a condition that stops the body’s ability to process enzymes(酶).As his life continues, he will lose the ability to speak and his physical and mental abilities will degrade till he is left in a vegetative（植物人的）state. The average life expectancy for the patients is 15 years.

Chester, the boy’s father, wanted his child to enjoy his life on earth as much as possible and looked into getting a service dog for the child. However, Lucas wasn’t a good candidate due to his deteriorating（惡化的）abilities, not to mention the $15,000 cost of the animal.

Not terrified by all of this, Chester looked into adopting a dog for his son. He found Juno on a website and drove two hours to meet her. Chester had worked with the breed(品種) in the police force and was familiar with how to train them. He put in patience and hard work, and trained Juno while allowing her to become accustomed to Lucas. Now, not only will Juno not leave Lucas’ side, she is also helping with his illness. Chester said, “She has the ability to notice his neurological changes. Now she reminds us when Lucas is about to have a seizure(疾病發(fā)作) or if his oxygen levels drop really low. She has saved him several times.”

Companion animals are beautiful things and they establish a bond that can’t be described without experiences. I know that I held my adopted dog a little closer after hearing this story. There are a lot of dogs out there that need good homes and that won’t be as lucky as Juno. So, if you think you’re prepared, you should consider giving one a nice home.

1.Chester wanted to find a service dog to __________.

A. protect Lucas from being injured

B. help the boy recover from the disease

C. accompany Lucas to enjoy his time left

D. show their love for the beautiful dog

2.Chester got the dog Juno by ____________.

A. asking for help from the police force

B. donating a lot of money

C. picking it up near the house

D. searching on the Internet

3.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The author has also adopted a dog and loves it.

B. Juno has gained some skills accompanying Lucas.

C. Chester was very satisfied with Juno’s performances.

D. Lucas recovered from the disease accompanied by Juno.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Unlucky boy, lucky dog

B. A love for a dog, a companion for a boy

C. A faithful friend—Juno

D. Love me, love my dog

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (團結(jié)). To show this, she pick up one chopstick, taking it as one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, taking them as a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”

With three generations of Ans working together, now the Ans' business makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.

1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. How to Run a Corporation Well

B. Strength Comes from Peace

C. How to Achieve a Big Dream

D. Family Unity Builds Success

2.What can we infer about the An’s daughters?

A. They went out to work for themselves before graduation.

B. They all would not like to work in their family business.

C. They were deeply influenced by what Helene taught them.

D. There always were disagreements among family members

3. Helene once used chopsticks to show ______

A. the quality of the chopsticks

B. the difficulty of being united

C. the strength of family unity

D. how to be a strong person

4.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An’s family ______

A. began to run a restaurant in 1975
