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.

When we use language to express our true feelings to someone, it can open and 44 (deep) the connection between us. Language is a very 45 (power) tool. How we use language shapes our world. How we use self-talk 46 (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world. How we deliver 47 (communicate) shapes the way the world 48 (respond) to us. We can use language more 49 (effective). And this clearly influences the health and power of our 50 (person) relationships and business relationships.Business English HelpsEnglish plays an important role in the workplace.

He was asked why he was so much more creative than the average person.He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (紧握) and it fell, spilling (打翻) the milk all over the floor.When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵) or a towel. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.The scientist remarked that it was then that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't work," we usually learn something valuable from it.1. This story is about a scientist who ( )A. was smarter than the average personB. achieved great success in the medical fieldC. was extraordinary when he was youngD. became well-known after an interview2. He got the milk spilt all over the kitchen floor because he ( )A. slipped and fellB. was weakC. dropped the bottleD. was naughty3. After seeing the spilt milk, his mother ( )A. encouraged him to play in the milkB. forced him to clean the kitchenC. shouted at himD. cleaned the floor herself4. The mother and the son went out in the back yard to ( )A. find a way to carry the bottleB. search for a new bottleC. fill the bottle with milkD. clean the bottle5. According to the text, mistakes give us chances to ( )A. do some experimentsB. teach a child a lessonC. know the truthD. learn something newLearning From MistakesLots of people dare not make mistakes (mistake). They fear they will be laughed at or 1 (blame)by others. They fear they will lose their money and 2 (belonging) or be under heavy stress. But risks are 3 (possible) to avoid and they do pave the way towards success. Have you ever 4 (hear) of anyone who achieves success without making any mistakes?So it is only 5 (nature) that making mistakes should be considered amust. You shouldn't worry about that as you 6 (probable) get lots of advantages out of your mistakes. By making mistakes, you can at least distinguish between the correct and the 7 (correct) parts of what you did. Robert Stevenson once s aid:“Our business in life is not to be 8 (success), but to continue to fail in good spirits”You needn't worry about anything as long as you keep on going by 9 (wise) learning from your mistakes and 10 (try) even harder.Positive Attitude towards FailureI clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure. But what I (1) ___ learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things. And, in fact, failure is a (2) ____ part of growth. Life is filled with trial and (3) ____. In order to walk the path to (4) ____, you need to make some (5) ____ turns along the way. What I learned was to "fail forward", to (6) ____ each mistake to make myself better. One of the (7) ____ problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated (8) ___ in their lives and label them as failures. (9) ___, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. A successful baseball player doesn't (10) ____ at a mistake he makes and think of failure. He sees it within the context of the bigger picture.Failing ForwardThere are several key abilities that allow successful people to fail forward instead of taking each setback personally. First, successful people don't blame themselves when they fail. They take 1 for each setback, but they don't take the failure personally. Second, successful people don't 2 themselves by individual failures. They 3 that each setback is a small 4 of the whole. Third achievers are 5 to vary their approaches to problems. That's important in every walk of life. If one 6 doesn't work for you, if it brings repeated failures, 7 try something else. To fail forward you must do what works for you, not 8 what works for other people. Finally, successful people are 9 . They don't let one error keep them down. They learn from their mistakes and 10 on.Loyalty found in a friends akin to making a deposit in a bank account. More often than not, your deposits 1 interest, an interest in your well-being and welfare. A loyal friend attracts another loyal friend.In essence, water does seek its own level.If you were a B.L.F. way before Facebook gained notoriety, 2 I'm sure you understand the premise of loyalty in a friend. You should never 3 your B.L.F. to gain more friend so make yourself seem more 4 to others. These are not the traits of a best loyal friends.A best loyal friend does not care who is invited to your party. They will 5 your party and celebrate you, just in the way a best loyal friend should do.Reconnecting with a best loyal friend is 6 to do on the pages of Facebook. 7 , a virtual friend does not assure you of his loyalty. My 8 to you is that you'd better pay 9 to the smiling faces on the Facebook pages. In the eighties we were warned of smiling faces in a song, which contained these lyrics,"A smile is just a frown turned upside down, my friend."Now, that is the undisputed 10 for my generation.Choosing FriendsIn our daily life, it's nice to have friends. While family is 1 important,friends are a different support system of your choosing. As the 2 goes,"You can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends. “Choosing them wisely can 3 your life more exciting and inspiring.Deciding whom you choose as your friends says as much about youas it does them. You may choose your friends 4 on similar interests. You may choose them because you're opposites of each other and find this interesting.Often,friends become"friends"because they are naturally attracted towards each other due to 5 personalities. Sometimes it's just circumstances that bring two individuals together who then become friends.Whatever prompts a friendship, developing one is a very 6 experience.This is especially true when, before you know it, a certain 7 turns into a unique lifelong close friendship. Again, it's been said that a person 8 has only a couple of very close friends in their life. Think of whom you 9 as truly close friends. These are those few individuals you can 10 and share deep thoughts and concerns with.Keeping Friendship AliveIt’s so easy to take good friends (friend) for granted. Like a 1 (comfort) pair of gloves, old friends wear well. But friendships that suffer from busyness and 2 (familiar) can’t afford to be neglected too long. They need to be 3 (renew). If you want and need to keep true friendship alive and 4 (health), please consider and think over a list of the most important qualities. 5 (Probable) itwill help you to understand why you and your best friend haven't 6 (call) up for ages, why you’re getting embarrassed while 7 (be) asked “Whom are yo u 8 (go) to have fun with this weekend?" You may neglect your intimate friends from time to time, but if you fail to cultivate these 9 (virtue)---loyalty, forgiveness, dedication (奉献) and 10 (honest)---you can't expect to keep true friends.Be GratefulWhether you are a waiter (wait) or a doctor, your job is about serving others and making their life better. We have all (1 )_____(have) experiences where someone (2 )______ (work) in their job has lifted us up and made a (3 )________(different) to our day or brought us down and made our day worse. We have all met (4 )______ (real) wonderful people cleaning floors. We have also met people who are not so wonderful but have (5 )_______ (amaze) jobs. So whatever you do, be grateful. This doesn't mean you have to stay in a job you don't like, but it (6 )_______(help) you develop a more positive attitude. You may not like your job, but you can enjoy being with your (7 )________(colleague). This is something to be (8 )_______ (thank) for.
