Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs（READ）.
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children's department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
小題1:What is mainly discussed in the text?

小題2: Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______________.

Socrates asked, “My children, do you have happiness now?” They answered in chorus: “We          be happier!” Socrates        , “That’s it!        you are too busy pursuing something to notice anything bitter, happiness will occur.”

We may have to        pain in our daily life and in the process of          happiness.

閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy,        becomes unhappy. This        from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy        their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the        things. They are,       , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and        themselves disagreeable (不受歡迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up        by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown        its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are        its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and        them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious        in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most        politeness and respect. This        puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining        advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step        speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反對(duì)), no one will        or excuse them, and many        join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,        worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not,        will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,        when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island, Florida, Melissa Hawkinson, 41, was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead. What was that? She thought. As she drove up to the scene, she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore. “It was going down pretty quickly,” Hawkinson recalls. She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water. Water is going to be cold, she thought.
She took off her vest and leather boots, got into the icy water, and swam to the car, where she found Cameron Dorsey, five, trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him.
Hawkinson tried to open the door, but it was locked. So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door. She pulled the boy free, swam to shore, and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock. The driver, the boy’s suicidal father, swam back to land on his own. Afterward, Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket. “For ten or 15 minutes, I couldn’t stop shaking,” she said.
There’s nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson, an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile. Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day. Why do some people act quickly, willing to take a risk for a stranger? What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it? Hawkinson, the Granite Mountain Hotshots (能手，高手)---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona--- every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another: what makes them brave?
Moreover, can bravery be learned, or is it a quality with which you are born? The answer is complex. Bravery taps the mind, brain and heart. It comes from instinct, training and sympathy. Today, neurologists, psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery, trying to uncover the mystery.
小題1:It can be learned from the passage that _______.
A．Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse
B．it was spring when the accident happened
C．Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son
D．Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous.
小題2:What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph?
A．Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy..
B．The father committed suicide because of the divorce.
C．The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson.
D．No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson.
小題3:How does the writer find other people on the dockside?
A．Warm and ready to helpB．Thoughtful
C．Kind of cold-bloodedD．Not skillful at swimming
小題4:What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A．To set us thinking what makes people brave.
B．To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson.
C．To remind people of risk while saving others.
D．To show people bravery can be learned.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps. One should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us in age.
Men often discover their similarity to each other by the common love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this: “Love my, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond(紐帶) of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best container of a life preserving the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which become our steady companions and comforters.
Books are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay(腐朽), but good books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Preserved in books, their spirits walked abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect(智者) to which one still listens.
小題1:The writer introduces the topic of the passage by            .
A．describing life experience of great writers
B．telling his own story of reading good books
C．presenting the best thoughts in good books
D．comparing good books to good friends in life
小題2:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Readers feel sympathy for the author.
B．Readers live together with the author.
C．Readers and the author share the same feeling.
D．Readers are the author’s companions and comforters.
小題3:which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．We can learn about the great and good through books.
B．The most important part of a man’s life is his treasures.
C．Good books help us to know about their authors’ friends.
D．Books are often regarded as best containers in our life.
小題4:the passage mainly tells us that            .
A. one should have some good friends
B one should read as many books as possible
C. one should keep company with good books
D books are the most lasting products of human efforts
