Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm she
20、lter (住所 ) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe. Keep your pets inside as much as
21、 you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When youre cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen wate
22、r. If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pets water. Sometimes owners dont realize tha
23、t a water bowl has frozen and their pet cant get anything to drink.

You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind. First, you mus
27、t ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side ” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail. Lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going
28、in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90 angle (角度 ) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best. If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should b
29、e at a 45 angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动 ). It shouldnt look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down. Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boa
30、t will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat. 【小题 1】 What should you consider first while sail
31、ing A Sailors strength. B Wave levels. C Wind directions. D Size of sails. 【小题 2】 What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to A The boat. B The wind. C The sail. D The angle. 【小题 3】 What do you have to do when sailing against the wind A Move in a straight line. B Allow the sail to fla
32、p. C Lower the sail. D Tack the boat. 【小题 4】 Where can you probably find the text A In a popular magazine. B In a tourist guidebook. C In a physics textbook. D In an official report. 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 A Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relatio
33、nships. For example, in American culture (文化 ) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feeling
34、s. It often causes confusion (困惑 ) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smil
35、e in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions (情感 ), but we should not attempt to “read” p
36、eople from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial express
37、ions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of pers
38、onal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we m
39、ay make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly. 【小题 1】 What does the smile usually mean in the U.S. A Love. B Politeness. C Joy. D Thankfulness. 【小题 2】 The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _ . A show friendliness to strangers B be used to hide true f
40、eelings C be used in the wrong places D show personal habits 【小题 3】 What should we do before attempting to “read” people A Learn about their relations with others. B Understand their cultural backgrounds. C Find out about their past experience. D Figure out what they will do next. 【小题 4】 What would
41、be the best title for the test A Cultural Differences B Smiles and Relationship C Facial Expressiveness D Habits and Emotions 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 C ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia One of the worlds most famous fossils (化石 ) the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼 ) unearthed in Ethiopia i
42、n 1974 will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday. Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked
43、 in a secret storeroom.

45、 Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 3-foot-tall ape-man (猿人 ). 【小题 1】 The author writes this text mainly to _ .
