8、rthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone.

9、ping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal
10、shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointers eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and weve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”I turned to the man in horror. “You mean youre going to kill him?”“Maam,” he said gently. “We d
11、ont have room for every unclaimed dog.”The staff members calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “Ill take him,” I said.I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.Dad wrinkled his f
12、ace. “I dont want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.Dads anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long h
13、ours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.Dads bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyennes cold nose burrowing(搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran i
14、nto my fathers room and found that he had passed away.Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dads bed.

Health. B. Entertainment. C. Education. D. Friends.CGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, i
18、s a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was tho
19、ught to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a noble
20、man had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to h
21、ealth. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has th
22、e hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages chil
23、dren to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.28.

25、ing comparisons.C. By following the order of importance.D. By following the order of time.31. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To present the change of views on dirt.C. To introduce the history of dirt.D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.DTha
26、t children are the hopes of our tomorrow is statement that is repeated time and again. And it is an axiom(格言 ); they are our pillars of the coming time. But then do we train them into becoming healthy human beings?Healthy human beings here are not meant the physical well-being, but the good human be
