But for much wildlife, loose dogs may be a dangero

19、us enemy, according to a study by a biologist from Utah State University in the US. Based on much existing research and their own case studies, Julie Young of Utah State University and four other scientists conclude that loose dogs may represent a huge danger to wildlife, especially endangered speci

20、es, by hunting down or worrying them and by spreading diseases. They also found that dogs, their worldwide numbers around 500 million, can cause more damage to wildlife and livestock(牲畜 ) than wolves and other enemies of these animals. Young gave examples from the US state of Idaho, where research s

21、howed the presence of dogs reducing some deer populations. On the Navajo American Indians reservation in northeastern Arizona, packs of loose dogs are chasing livestock. They have killed populations of small animals such as rabbits and act as a disease carrier for rabies(狂犬病 ) among people and other

22、 animals, she said. Loose dogs also were to blame for distemper outbreak leading to a die-off of endangered black-footed ferrets in northwestern Wyoming in the 1980s. The phenomenon is not just limited to US; its a global problen. Julie Young once studied three endangered species in central Asia: wi

23、ld sheep, gazelles and antelope. The rate of injury and death to these animals by loose dogs was very high. In another case, Young found that dogs, not wolves, as originally suspected, were responsible for a large number of livestock killings in the mountainous Basque country between Spain and Franc

24、e. Authors of the new study said the problem is likely to worsen as communities expand. Then how to deal with it Indeed, in many countries, leash(拴狗的皮带 ) laws permit punishment of dog owners whose pets chase wildlife. But lawbreakers are rarely punished because the police lack both people and money.

25、 Young has low-cost solutions to the problem for dog lovers, though. They include public dog-training programs and vaccinating (预防接种 ) dogs against rabies and other illnesses. 【小题 1】 . What is the main point of Julie Youngs study A Many species are endangered because they are killed by loose dogs. B

26、 Wild dogs are immune to many diseases. C Wolves are still the greatest enemy of livestock. D Loose dogs pose a great danger to wildlife. 【小题 2】 . Which of the following statements about loose dogs is TRUE according to the research A There are around 500 million loose dogs around the world. B The bl

27、ack-footed ferrets in northwestern Wyoming were once the main food source of local loose dogs. C The problem caused by loose dogs is the most serious in the US. D People used to think that wolves, rather than loose dogs killed livestock in the Basque country. 【小题 3】 . Which of the following is among

28、 Julie Youngs solutions to the trouble caused by loose dogs A More strict leash laws B Public dog-training programs. C Vaccinating people against rabies and other illnesses. D More support from the police. 【小题 4】 . What is the main point of the article A A global disaster caused by loose dogs. B Wha

29、t makes the dog mans greatest friend. C The problem of loose dogs and the possible solutions. D The danger of the increasing numbers of dogs. 答案： 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .B 【小题 1】 .C I was working with a client who was completely burned out on her career and life and then ready for a career chang

30、e. As we were talking, she said, “I just wish I had meaningful work. I dont feel like I am making a difference. I am just wasting my life.” This is the theme I hear most often from clients who have been in the workforce awhile.All of us want to feel like we are making a difference. We want to believ

31、e our work means something. The problem comes in defining “meaningful work”. What is it That answer is different for everyone. For some meaningful work might be helping others organize their office. For others it may mean making a million dollars. What really matters is how you see it. What is meani

32、ngful work to you Take out a piece of paper and answer these questions. How do you define meaningful work When do you feel like you are really making a difference What work have you done so far that feels the most meaningful Write down whatever comes to mind. What you want to do is meaningful. It is

33、 very easy to start judging yourself as being selfish. Stop! Allow yourself to be honest. The fact is when Picasso painted; he was doing it because he liked to paint. He was not thinking, “Oh, I hope this brings joy to others lives.” He painted because he wanted to. When Beethoven composed, he did i

34、t because he loved music. Even scientists searching for a cure for cancer are immersed in their work because it fascinates them. Dont look down on your work. It is easy to downplay the importance of work that feels meaningful. I remember Tony Robbins told a story of talking with the owner of a major

35、 company. The man said to Tony, “I wish I could do what you do because it makes such adifference in peoples lives”. Tony said, “You have got to be kidding! Look at what adifference you make. You provide work, health insurance and security for thousands ofpeople!” Dont underestimate the value you pro

36、vide. Take a look at what you have written about meaningful work. Do you see any themes How do you wish to contribute to this world Whatever you choose, remember that the greatest gift you can give is to find work that makes you feel fulfilled and delighted. Respect your preference because giving yo

37、ur gifts to the world, whatever they look like, is the most meaningful action you can ever take. 【小题 1】 . What does the writer mean by mentioning the famous people A Famous people are selfish to start work for themselves. B Doing meaningful work requires our interest in it. C Interest is the best te

38、acher in learning. D Honesty makes for the greatest people. 【小题 2】 . When you downplay the value of your work, you tend to think it is _. A quite different B very successful C not meaningful D less important 【小题 3】 .According to the passage, what meaningful job does the writer advise us to take A Th

39、e one which is popular in society. B The one which brings you profits. C The one which wins you fame. D The one which interests you. 【小题 4】 . The article is intended to _. A explain what is the most important in changing ones job B advise taking an immediate action to find meaningful work C suggest

40、we should show confidence and talent in work D tell us the problem that the authors client met 答案： 【小题 1】 .C 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .D 【小题 1】 .A There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something

41、to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are strictly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers.This is true because boys

42、and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of skill, mechan

43、ics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their insistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the US, China,Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local cust

44、oms and ways of life because toys reflect their surroundings.Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been affected by technological quick development that characterize in

45、ventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the ox-cart to the automobile is a direct line of ahievement. The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓 ) used by a baby in 3000 BC to one used by a baby today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tast

46、es of times and subject to the limtations of available materials. 【小题 1】 . The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that_. A their social roles are strictly determined B most boys would like to follow their fathers professions C boys like to play w

47、ith their fathers while girls with their mothers D they like challenging activities 【小题 2】 . Which of the following is the authors view on the historical development of toys？ A The making skills in toys has remained essentially unchanged. B Toys have remained basically the same all through the centu

48、ries. C The toy industry has witnessed great improvement in technology in recent years. D Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a childs character. 【小题 3】 . Regarded as a kind of art form, toys_. A follow a direct line of achievement B also appeal greatly to adults C are not characterized by technological progress D reflect
