A
In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium?sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.?
“We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We’ re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”?
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog’s food takes about 0.84 hectares — or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.?
Convincing flesh?eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non?starter, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.?
The book’s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”, by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.?
Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet’s growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said.?
“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It’s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,” he said.?
“It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”?
56. The authors gave their book the playful title to________.?
A. make it amusing B. create a vivid image?
C. show writing skills D. arouse people’ s concern
57. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us________.?

58. What does “sustainability” mean according to the passage??
A. Going vegetarian. ? B. Raising cats and dogs.?
C. Using a cloth bag. ? D. Keeping a greener life.?
59. Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals??
A. Manufacturers. B. Drivers. ? C. Animal fans. D. The authorities.?
60. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life??
A. Challenging. B. Inspiring. C. Inviting. D. Touching.

閱讀下面短文，然后根據(jù)文章后的題目要求進(jìn)行回答。
Sooner or later everyone has to write something－a thank-you note, a report at a meeting, a complaint or an apology．If you hate writing assignments in school, or if you still fear to put pen to paper, facing that empty page is almost as frightening as you’re facing a tiger．How to write it?There’s no mystery．Clear writing is just clear thinking．Here are some techniques for you．
Thinking on paper
Sit down with pencil and paper or at the computer screen and start outlining what you want to say, why it’s important, why it matters, and what its impact is on the reader．Just get the ideas down．The next step is to go back and put them in order．
Writing first sentence
Try to make your first sentence catch the reader’s eyes, because ________, the reader isn’t going to read on．Get a good, clear lead sentence that summarizes your points and that answers the reader’s question “What’s in it for me?” If you can’t do it in one sentence, then do it in two or three but keep them short．
Remembering the reader
Short, simple words are better than long words．Short sentences are better than long sentences．Remember that the goal is to communicate, not express yourselves．Most people are so devoted to what they want to say that they forget somebody else has to be able to read it．Too much information makes you lose readers before they get to the meat(某物之主要或重要的)of what you want to say．
Reading and rewriting
Read what you have written out loud, and listening for any awkward sentences．All good writers read, then rewrite．Back off a little bit from what you’re writing．It’s an old standard, but if you can, write something and come back a day late．
1．What is the best title for the passage?(Please answer within 10 words．)

“Are you too stupid to do anything right？”These words—said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son—were spoken 1 he had walked away from her. They boy returned, his eyes down-cast.
Not a 2 moment, perhaps, 3 small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words—though they mean 4 at the time to the people who say them—can have great 5 .

Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 10 . Today he can not recall anything 11 about the chapter he wrote, or what 12 Mrs. Branch gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs. Brach wrote in margin（空白處）of the paper：“This is 13 writing.”
Four words. They 14 his life.
“ 15 I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or 16 I was going to be.”he said.“After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 17 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs. Brach to evaluate. She was 18 , tough and honest.“She was just what I 19 ,”Dalkoff said.
His confidence 20 . Dalkoff believes that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of his paper.
