Why Dogs Bury Their Favorite BonesYou may find it crazy that your dog buries his favorite bone or chew toy, only to dig it up a day or two later, but there is actually a reason behind it-it is simply in their nature. For thousands of years, dogs have buried their bones. The practice itself started long before dogs were even pets when they had to bury bones to survive.When dogs lived in the wild, sometimes food was scarce. If they were able to find food dogs became very protective of it. Sometimes they would have more bones than they could eat for one meal. To keep other dogs and animals from stealing their bones, dogs would bury them in the ground. When it was time for the next meal, they would dig up their bones and enjoy them again. This would continue until the bones were gone.Even though most dogs have plenty of food to eat today ,their instincts still tell them to bury their bones and favorite toys. They do this to keep other dogs and animals from stealing them, just like their ancestors did. Some dogs keep at least two bones buried at once. When they want to dig up one, they will bury one more. This may leave a backyard full of holes and bones.How do dogs decide where to bury their bones? A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere. He must first find the perfect spot. This involves using his nose to find a spot that is free from other dogs and animals. Often it is near a tree or a large rock, but it could be anywhere in the yard. Once the dog finds the perfect spot, he uses his front paws to dig a hole drops the bone in and covers up the hole to protect his treasure.1.

Booking Online and Saving the EnvironmentWhen you are looking to book aholiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By green" we mean the impact on the environment.When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into atravel agency, pick up brochures (宣传册), read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet.The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to lookat holidays at any timeof the day. The travel agents,however, areusually very busy at times when peoplecan actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the weekend.You could use the telephone, but you wouldn't be able tosee the pictures or the details of the holidays, So you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.There are websites on the Internet that make shopping forholiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lotsof different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.Compared with the travel agencies, bookingonline is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can't be good for the environment. In the days ofthe Internet, there is really no need for such a large amountof paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it willdo a little bit towards saving the environment, too!1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green.A. TrueB.

《英语(二)》作业题（三）（课程代码：00015）一、阅读判断题Using Music to Change Your MoodEveryone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress, make depression more bearable and help you relax.All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to. If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring, it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one.Now let's examine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly (任意的) select the songs we are going to listen to.This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn't suit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?What you'll have is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you' 11 end up feeling worse than before.I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example, a list for relaxation, a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of all of the old music that you are bored of. Besides, don't listen to songs with negative words or messages.The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups (分手) by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don't. So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster.1. Music is believed to have a comforting effect.（）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2. One can benefit from all kinds of music. （）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given3. People tend to listen to music selectively. （）A.

It's advisable to have different lists of songs. （）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given7. You should remove all of the old music from your list. （）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given8. People should listen to songs with positive words. （）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given9. Romantic songs help people recover from breakups faster. （）A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given10.

You have to change schools and get used to your new home. But you can always go back to that city to visit. When you move to another country, things are different. However, difficult as it may be, the experience can be rewarding.My dad, a Brazilian, is really funny and can make friends quickly. My mom, a Swiss, is usually quiet and a bit shy. She likes to be organized, but my dad never makes plans. She enjoys staying home, but my dad always wants to go out. Swiss and Brazilian what a mix!After my parents got married, they moved to Switzerland. There they had my brother and me. When I was two, we moved to Brazil. During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a big country, with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy, even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north it's hot and humid.Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians:they are wealthy, independent, and organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool.I love both countries. In Switzerland, it's pleasant, calm, and peaceful everywhere. I enjoyed my stay there very much. But now I am happy here in Brazil. I feel excited and at home.11.

According to the author, living in two different cultures is a(n)A. appealing ideaB. difficuk decisionC. expensive choiceD. pleasant experience三、填空题Dormitory Life（1）Living in a dormitory at college can be a great experience. However, if you take no steps to make this experience positive, dormitory life can become a misery. When you choose to live in a college dormitory, you will have a better chance to live a colorful and meaningful life. Meanwhile, you will have to give up many things as well.（2） When you live in a dormitory, you can meet many people with different interests. And you can enjoy the various services there. Both are very important to make you successful at college. But you may have to give up much of your personal space. You will share a room with someone else. This means you need to make peace with the things and people around you.（3） You will have to learn some important life skills. For example, you will learn how to get along with people. You will also learn to ignore things that you can't change. But in the future, you will find these skills very helpful when you are working in the real world.（4）When you live in a dormitory, you can enjoy a wide range of campus services, which are not available to those who live off campus. If you have any school related problems, you have no difficulty finding someone to help, because the school hires people to help the students living there.（5） Besides, living on campus means you don't have to travel to and from school in rush hours. And you are more involved in campus life. For example, you can have a better chance to take part in the club activities and make your own contributions. If you want to live a rich campus life, living in a dormitory is your best choice.Task 116. Paragraph （1）:17. Paragraph （2）:18. Paragraph （3）:19. Paragraph （4）:20. Paragraph （5）:Task 221.

We get a lot of important vitamins from eating fruit.We think of fruit primarily as something to eat. 26 Fruit is part of a flowering plant and it carries theseeds. The purpose of fruit is to protect a plant's seeds and help them get spread about. Wind and water spread seeds. So do animals when they eat fruit and drop the seeds. 27There are two main types of fruit: fleshy and dry. Fleshy fruits are soft and juicy. Pears, bananas and apples are all fleshy fruits. 28 Grains like wheat and rice, or nuts like chestnuts (板栗), are dry fruits.But wait: You've eaten oranges and grapes without seeds. How can they be fruits? It's because people have changed the way they grow fruit. They can now grow seedless fruit. Seedless fruit comes from special plants that are made by combining two varieties of a fruit to form a new variety. These special plants grow and produce seeds.29 These plants cannot reproduce themselves. They can make fruit, but the fruit has no seeds.Fruits are a source of substances that keep us alive and healthy. So people make use of fruits for many foods. We make juices from them. We make jams and sweets. 30 Beer comes from grains and wine comes from五、填词补文Mental Activities Help Save MemoryDoing mental activities is helpful.

They had a slower 36 of decline in memory than the others. The others 37 did such activities. Their rate of decline in memory was 48% 38 . "Mental activities like reading and writing are great.

But your dream will probably influence your 42 (think) during the journey. You may feel 43 (worry) and feel the trip much 44 (long) than before. So dreams may influence what we are 45 (real) doing while we are awake.The explanation of dreams is still a(n) 46 (clear) area. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influence our 47 (behave)? Over the past few years, they have 48 (do)studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some 49 (hide) truths: dreams affect the way people live and work.

The Kid That Saved His Dad On a sunny day list April,Bode, then nine, and his father, John Taylor,54,were snowmobiling around the remote country of Lake Tahoe.As they were driving on the snow,a little dry branch jammed in the brake of John's vehicle. Unable to slow down,John rushed toward a pine tree. He moved to jump off the vehicle before it crashed,but his pantleg (裤腿) caught underneath it.John felt his leg broken.As he sank six inches into the powdery snow, he could tell his arms and shoulder were injured too.Bode rushed to dig out his father, but John stopped him. They had no water, little food, and no cell phone service.“Get on your snowmobile,” John told Bode. "Follow the road, and try to find help.” After a 20-minute ride, Bode spotted a tour group and asked the guide to radio for help. The rescuers quickly appeared on the scene. And Bode led them through the white wilderness to his dad, who was pale and in pain.While they were waiting for a plane to send John to the nearest hospital, the rescuers quickly stabilized his leg. An hour later, he received surgery for the broken leg and internal bleeding.Today, John's leg has healed enough for him to take Bode out on dirt bikes. Father and son now carry extra devices on their trips, including a two-way radio with an emergency button. “I'm still a little afraid to go out on a snowmobile," says Bode. “But I'm starting to feel better about it."厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 Tisha Shaw, Bode's mother, says her son's courage and quick thinking have led her to treat him as more of an adult.

Lacking in Self-Esteem(自尊)？Good for you!According to psychological and educational theories, self-esteem is essential for a successful life. Generations of children, especially minority kids, have been educated according to the theory (that they lack self-esteem), and that this deficiency is central to any problems (they may have in making their way in the world).Well,guess what? A new research has found that self-esteem can be just as high among grade D students and drunk drivers as it is among Nobel Prize winners and former presidents.In fact,people with high self-esteem can engage in,far more anti-social behavior than those with low self-esteem.“We used to believe that high self-esteem would cause all sorts of positive consequences and that if we raised self-esteem,people would do better in life,”a researcher said.“Mostly,the data have failed to support that.'Racists,street thugs and school bullies all have high scores on the self-esteem tests.And you can see why.If you think you're highly gifted,you're particularly offended if other people don't treat you that way.So you hit out or commit crimes to defend your pride.After all,who are they to suggest that you could be doing something wrong?What do they know?Self-esteem can also be an educational concern.College teachers are constantly complaining about the high self-esteem of their students.When every grade in the school is assessed so as to,make the kid feel good rather than to give an accurate measure of his work,the kid can develop self-esteem dangerously unrelated to the truth.When he's told he is getting a C grade in college,he can then get deeply offended or extremely angry.Weak professors give in to the pressure-hence,grade inflation,which results in their students'vague touch with reality.1. It is believed that minority kids often have self-esteem problem.A. TrueB. FalseC. Not Given2．A new research shows that high self-esteem is essential to success.。

Being "Cool" in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as "cool" and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s.Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor （预示）of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many "uncool" kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.1.Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2."Cool" kids try to imitate adult behavior.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.Romantic relationships seem cool to some teenagers.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4."Uncool" kids are more likely to commit crimes.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5."Cool" kids have better life skills than "uncool" kids.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6."Uncool" kids spend most of their time studying.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.The study followed the students for a decade.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8."Cool" kids marry earlier than "uncool" kids.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.Parents needn't worry if their kids are "uncool".A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10."Cool" kids remain popular all their lives.A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（第11〜15题，每题2分，共10分）阅读下面短文，请从短文所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

(30 points, 2 points for each)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The economic costs of noise to society are several. Airports are currently operating at less than capacity because of noise regulations which restrict their hours of operation. For instance, at Washington’s national airport no jet traffic is allowed from 11 pm to 7 am. Other airports restrict the use of certain runways. One estimate is that noise restrictions reduce possible airport use by 20 percent. The profitable cargo trade is especially affected by night restrictions.In the case of airports, jet engines may be modified to reduce their noise level, or insulation (隔音) from air traffic noise may be provided by the purchase of land around airports or the insulation of buildings. One estimate is that ＄5.7 billion would be required to equip all existing jet engines with noise control devices. However, considering the current state of the art, even taking this step will not reduce noise levels at all points to acceptable values. Some combination of methods is probably necessary.If all aircraft were made quieter by existing methods, there would be a number of economic benefits. An increase in airport capacity would occur. Property values near airports might ruse. Transportation costs to and from airports could be reduced since the airports now could be located closer to population centers.Much research still needs to be done on the economic aspects of noise reduction and noise effects. Although some of the effects of noise pollution are known, more must be discovered about its effects on health, productivity, property values and the quality of life. Furthermore, the cost of noise pollution to the economy as a whole needs to be investigated.The public must be alerted to the dangers and economic costs of noise pollution so that people may make intelligent choices and exert appropriate pressures.1. There is no jet traffic at Washington’s national airport from 11 pm to 7 am because _____.A. it is extremely dangerous to fly in the darkB. noise regulations restrict the hours of airport operationC. some of its runways are not in good conditionD. cargo planes produce disturbing noises2. "the current state of the art" (in para.2) means ______.A. a developed sense of beautyB. the volumes of present-day trafficC. the most recently developed technologyD. insulation of air traffic noise3. Noise reduction could lead to_____.A. increased airport capacityB. lower property valuesC. effective modification of existing jet enginesD. more transportation costs to and from airports4. What is not mentioned in the passage?A. psychological strain.B. handling capacity of cargo.C. measures for noise reduction.D. public pressures.5. The author of the passage is concerned primarily with _____.A. the effects of noise on the quality of lifeB. the role of air traffic restrictionsC. the production of quieter enginesD. the economic aspects of noise reductionPassage twoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body's oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy (争议). A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the university of Kansas in the journal "American psychologist" said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation (冥想) does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best doe you.Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, auto analysis (自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair. They have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation?A. The body takes in less oxygen.B. The heart beats less frequently.C. Muscles become tense and the body sweats easily.D. The consciousness becomes more or less calmed.7. People seem to agree that ____.A. sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation doesB. structured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a personC. to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various meansD. what people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation8. In the third paragraph, the phrase "getting there" means _____.A. arriving at one's destinationB. getting what one wants mostC. finding out a suitable relaxation techniqueD. reaching a state of deep relaxation9. As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that _____.A. aims are more important than meansB. means are more important than aimsC. more and more people are interested in relaxation techniquesD. some relaxation techniques are better than others10. The author's attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best described as ______.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. optimisticD. criticalPassage threeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.People seldom feel neutral about poetry (诗). Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and love. It isn't. Words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, thatpoetry is only words and good for nothing. That’s not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words-in poetry or in life-but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings. Poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry's most insistent merits involves its attempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words hat it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about? Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to day, "yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I’ve never been able to express it so well." Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.11."People seldom feel neutral about poetry" (in para.1) in this context means that _____.A. few people think that poetry is neutralB. people always differ in their views about poetryC. people rarely take a biased opinion about poetryD. people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless12. The author suggests that _____.A. poetry tends to make the reader disappointedB. poetry makes its readers sentimentalC. poetry is more important than wordsD. poetry often captures real human feelings13. According to the author, poetry _____.A. is more than just wordsB. is the poets' feelings about wordsC. is anything but patterns of linesD. is an experiment on the use of words14. Poetry tries, persistently, to express ______.A. what love and death meanB. what people think about themselvesC. what people feel but find it hard to describeD. how people go through life15. This passage is mainly about ______.A. the structure of poetryB. the components of poetryC. the nature and importance of poetryD. the appreciation of poetryIII.
