I
25、 didnt have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon letters over the window Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them.

26、s or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地 ) with magazines. “Hes not here,“ I said, after a quick look around. The television was speaking out an
27、advertisement for a detergent (洗衣粉 ), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the picture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband s underwear was after having been washed.

31、n you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in your house. Specialists (专家 ) advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or
32、your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote (投入 ) a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it ru

Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first h
39、e made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs (亲笔签名 ).

To reduce the chance of being discovered,
40、he sent his works to England and Canada for sale. Forgers have a difficult time selling their products. A forger cant go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their works look real. For example, they buy old books
41、to use the aged paper of the title page, and they treat paper and ink with chemicals. After the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stone Wall“ Jackson. For several years Miss Fann

People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.【 B1】 _ However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a d
46、ifferent kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.【 B2】 _ They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make
47、people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 【 B3】 _ This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.
