8、ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly
9、 normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do
10、for your dog and yourself is to train(驯马) it to obedience. Obedience training doesn“t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your do
11、g about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit“, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群) by using extreme m
12、easures. You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living togethe
13、r more enjoyable.

17、 have more confidence in himselfSport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical, emo
18、tional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable. The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable exp
19、eriences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Y
20、oungsters may take their parents“ and coaches“ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sp
21、ort and other life lessons. In today“s youth sport setting. Young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters“ performances. Positive reinforcement should
22、be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.（分数：10.00）(1).An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is
23、_.（分数：2.00）A.to make sports less competitiveB.to make sports more challengingC.to reduce their stressD.to increase their sense of success(2).According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that_.（分数：2.00）A.it can help them learn more about societyB.it teaches them how to set realistic

27、ragementD.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutFor an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation“s elde
28、rly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 40 years. By 2040, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health p
29、rofessions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we“re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers“. says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California“s (USC), School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize
30、in “elder law“, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination(歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who c
31、ombines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money“, one professor says. Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC.

32、 and discovered that she liked it.

33、ly professors are found on American campusesD.American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students(2).With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit_.（分数：2.00）A.from the adoption of the “elder law“B.from rendering special services to the elderlyC.by enriching their professional knowl
