AWhen I was a kid, I was just like every other kid. I didn't like school much. Oh, as usual, I liked being with friends and having fun. But, I didn't like the discipline of learning, studying, memorizing, etc. Too much work. As I got into high school, things changed for me. I started reading a lot of books. Books that taught me about life and how to live it. I read around 30 books my junior and senior year. I've never stopped. I learned to love to read.Little did I know at that time that I would eventually write books myself. I've since written 7 books. One book I wrote, 'Powerful Attitudes', was a huge success within a network marketing company in the USA.When I was 17 years old, I took about a dozen guitar lessons. I feel in love with guitar music no matter if it is blues, rock, flamenco or classical. I've attended concerts and have heard some great guitarists through the years. Recently, I bought myself a piano. When I looked at them, I decided to buy the best piano that the store offered. If I was going to learn, I wanted to learn on the best one I could get. I've since learned a lot. It's only been a few months but I've made considerable progress. My knowledge of music and playing the guitar has helped me a lot in learning piano.Last week, I hired a Chinese teacher to teach me Chinese. I've learned about 200 words in my first week. I'm inspired and motivated to learn. In fact, I feel a bit obsessed with learning it. It's like a mountain I want to climb and conquer. I'm 56 years old and my passion to learn it runs deep in my heart, mind and soul.I think one thing I definitely learned growing up in the West and getting my education there is, to love learning. I never want to stop learning. I never want to stop studying people, life, processes and new things. I think it keeps you younger. I think the integrity of admittingwhat you do know and acknowledging what you don't know, makes you a good learner. You never lie to yourself or to others about your knowledge and experience. I have the attitude that if I don't know something, I will eventually know it.I think to love learning is to love life. I never want to lose my love of learning. I thrive on it. It keeps my mind active and my heart young.21.Acccording to the passage,when did the author get to like school?A.As he got into kindergarten B As he got into elementary schoolC As he got into high schoolD As he got into university22.What’s the author’s attitude towards guitar music?A NegativeB PositiveC IndiffreentD Just so-so.23.What does the word “obsessed”mean in Pargarph 4?A angryB unhappyC crazyD disgusted24.The author thinks that studying can keep a person______.A more tiredB more pessimisticC lazierD youngerBThe new year has begun and some people may be looking to 2015 as the year they get a dog. A furry friend will bring a lot of fun and companionship to your family —especially for urban residents who always feel lonely living in the fast-paced society. But looking after a pet does require some responsibility from the pet owner if you want your new friend to be healthy and happy in your family.The following is a checklist for people who are considering adopting an animal.There are hundreds of pet shops in Shanghai, big and small, where you can find puppies at a cost ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of yuan. The pet shop will tell you some basic facts about dogs of a specific breed. But don't forget to ask about the vaccination status if you are buying a puppy, which needs three injections with an interval of three to four weeks between shots.Another option is to ask your friends if they know anyone with a dog that has recently had puppies. This option is more reliable than buying a puppy from someone you don’t know, especially the str eet peddlers who might carry animals with diseases.Another highly recommended option is to adopt one from an NGO dedicated to providing shelter and protecting stray animals. This is quite practical if you don't care about the dog's breed.Vaccination(疫苗)As a pet owner, there are some things you must do otherwise you may get into big trouble, and one of these is getting your dog vaccinated.Dogs need regular shots to fight against canine parvovirus(犬细小病毒), rabies and other diseases or viruses.To ensure the vaccines are not substandard, we strongly recommend youhundred yuan each year.Another advantage of using the vet as opposed to getting your dog vaccinated yourself, is that the vet will examine its condition to see whether it is suitable to get a shot now and take immediate action if it has an allergic reaction to the vaccine.Because you are advised not to give your animal a bath for one week following its vaccination, you should clean your animal one or two days before the shot if you don’t want your dog to get too dirtyParasite (寄生虫)protectionAs a pet owner, you need to be prepared to get rid of fleas(跳蚤), heartworm(犬心虫), roundworm(蛔虫）, intestinal worms and other parasites from your dog.Dogs need regular flea and tick control and parasite protection, even if it does not show symptoms of being affected by the parasite. An adult dog needs to be fed with a tablet every six months to make sure it does not have an endoparasite.You also need to take measures every three months to help expel fleas and ticks from your animal. You need to learn the signs of a flea bite: they may immediately cause a dog to feel extremely itchy. Within 30 minutes of a bite, they may develop a red bump. Secondary infections caused by scratching are also common.Dog trainingNo dog is born with good manners. Pooping on the carpet, leaping enthusiastically onto guests, pulling so hard that it practically yanks your arm out of the socket when on walks —that’s all perfectly acceptable in the canine world. It's up to you to teach your dog to behave the way humans want it to.Despite the adage（谚语；格言） about old dogs and new tricks, there are no age limits to teaching dogs. And whether you've got a brand-new puppy or an older dog, the first step is the same: learn how to be a good teacher.Every dog is different and will respond better to a slightly different training style, but these general guidelines apply: stay consistent and patient, and reward your dog for getting it right.25.Which of the titles can be filled in the blank?A Whether to buy or sell dogsB When to adopt dogsC How to take care of dogsD Where to find a dog26.According to the article,how many aspects shoud a pet owner pay attention to?A.Two BThree C Four D Five27.The underlined word “ vet” means____________.A a surgeonB a physicianC a dentist Da doctor who treats animals28.Which of the following sentences is FALSE?A A dog can bring much fun and companionship to your family —especially for urban residents who always feel lonely living in the fast-paced society.B As a pet owner, it is unnecessary for you to be prepared to get rid of fleas.C It's up to you to teach your dog to behave the way humans want it to.D After getting a dog,the first step for its owner is to be a good teacher.CJewish Former Refugee Glad To B e ‘H ome’By Yang Jian | February 8, 2015, SundayMICHAEL Blumenthal’s eyes were filled with tears yesterday when he found his name on a list at the Shanghai Jewish(犹太的；犹太人的） Refugee （难民） Museum in Hongkou District.“Here I am, and here are my father, mother and sister,” said the 89-year-old former United States Secretary of the Treasury.Blumenthal, originally from Germany, was one of about 15,000 Jews who found refuge in Shanghai after fleeing Nazi persecution in Europe.
