16、eam. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $ 10 000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double paned(双 层玻璃的) windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple
17、moved in, however. Priscillas eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness. Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde (甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice th
18、e maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall to wall carpeting. The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nations drive to save energy. The problem itself is
19、nt new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along, “ says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “ Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases. The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constru
20、cted homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didnt worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants generated in most households seldom built
21、 up to dangerous levels.36 It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas house_.（A）is well worth the money spent on its construction（B） is almost faultless from the point of energy conservation（C） failed to meet energy conservation standards（D）was designed and constructed in a scientific way3

24、nergy Conservation（B） House Building Crisis（C） Air Pollution Indoors（D）Traps in Building Construction40 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.
25、Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly 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 s
26、etting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服)it. Obedience training doesnt 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 communic
27、ation is necessary to instruct your dog 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 leade
28、r of the dog pack (群) by using extreme measures. 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
29、your relationship and make living together more enjoyable.

Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in anoth
34、er country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world
35、, information travel fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continen
36、ts took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced peoples actions. For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 b
37、etween England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives afte

42、y poems, hoping to sell them for enough to pay the expenses of his journey.

It is said that he even; bought his ticket, and on the night before the ship sailed w
43、rote his Farewell to Scotland, which he intended to his last song on Scottish soil. In the morning he changed his mind, led partly by the dim foreshadowing of the result of his literary adventure for the little book caught all Scotland by storm. Not only scholars, literary men, but even cowboys and
44、maid servants, eagerly spent their hard earned shillings for the new book. Instead of going to America, the young poet hurried to Edinburgh to arrange for another edition of his work. His journey was a constant success, and in the capital he was welcomed and feasted by the best of Scottish society.
