I confess that when I came out of the White House I signed up to do an “insider volume“, but sober, professional second thoughts have l
8、ed me to put that project on ice until at least 1980. The problem is that I simultaneously know too much, and not enough. I know what I thought was happening. But I cannot fully document what happened. And I have seen enough highly classified documents to know that most of what the observers thought
9、 was happening was at best half right, at worst dead wrong. This has steered me in a different direction as far as writing is concerned. I am now preparing what is frankly and unashamedly an ex parte memoir, “My Experiences in Washington“. It is based on what I believed to be tree, on the picture as
10、 I conceptualized it, of the presidential administration under which I worked.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the speaker, the problem with “insider volumes“ is that they _.（分数：2.00）A.tell things that should not be toldB.lack historical perspectiveC.are too sensationalD.often intentionally distort the tr

15、he presidentDogs 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 normal dog activities that occur at the wrong tim
16、e 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 for your dog and yourself is to train(驯马) it to ob
17、edience. 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 dog about what you want it to do. Training is also a
18、n 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 measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属
19、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.

24、usual parents. The female sea horses lay the eggs, but unlike other creatures. It“s the males that give birth to the young. Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms a pocket, called a brood pouch. During the breeding season, the sea horse“s pouch swells to receive eggs. A fema
25、le sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return every day to check on her mate and the eggs, but she doesn“t stay long, nor does she take part in the birth
26、. It takes from five to six weeks for the eggs in the male“s pouch to develop. During this time the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass.

27、y perfectly still for hours or even days.

29、ng his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he has to press his pouch against a rock or some stiff seaweed to force the young out. Sea horse babies are born in groups of five or more. Sometimes it takes two days for the father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is ver
30、y tiered when it“s over. Soon after giving birth to one brood, the male will approach his mat and show her his empty pouch.
