A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.
“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”
She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.
That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.
“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”
But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.
24. How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman
A. They caused her to start KKGS.
B. They pushed her to go to college.
C. They encouraged her to house the homeless.
D. They made her continue to give out sandwiches.
25. How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation
A. Some refused it politely.
B. They strongly supported it.
C. Some felt quite surprised by it.
D. They considered it unreasonable.
26. In what way is KKGS special
A. It has earned a lot of money from students.
B. It employs college students as volunteers.
C. It provides socks for those in need.
D. It was set up by the government.
27. What advice does the author offer to people
A. Take action in small ways.
B. Start your own organization.
C. Make donations from an early age.
D. Find creative ways to help people.
C
Last year, I spent two-and-a-half months in Paris, living alone and working on a writing project. Although there is a seemingly great divide between my culture and theirs, I realized I could learn an awful lot.
The first thing I noticed in Paris is that no one here walks around with a “to-go” cup of coffee. And I mean no one — I haven’t seen a single person carrying one in the days I’ve been here. Back home in New York, it’s normal for every other person on the street (including me) to be carrying a cup from Starbucks or their local coffee shop, but not here. It’s been a valuable lesson for me, and something I can take back from Paris. Now I carry my own cup to the coffee shop instead of getting yet another cup that will go straight into the garbage can (垃圾箱) ten minutes after it’s placed in my hands.
Also, in the grocery stores (杂货店), shoppers have to bag their own groceries. The simple act of doing that yourself is another chance to think about things: what kind of bag you’re using (I recently saw one customer at my local grocery store put his fruit, cans of soup, and toilet paper into his briefcase!), what you’re putting in the bag, and what you will really need to eat and use at home (Did I really need that roll of paper towels or will my dish towels back at the apartment do just fine ). My French friend uses the bags from the grocery store as her kitchen garbage bags. Now, so do I.
Anyway, in Paris, people do most of their shopping in small markets: they buy their fruit at one, their cheese at another, and then stop at their local bakery (面包店) to buy that day’s fresh-baked bread, and walk out holding the bread only one part of which is covered by a piece of paper big enough for their hand. I certainly haven’t noticed any supermarket like a Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club.
28. What is the author’s reaction to “to-go” coffee cups after visiting Paris
A. She pays little attention to them.
B. She is interested in them.
C. She refuses to use them.
D. She is surprised at them.
29. What does the author say about grocery stores in Paris
A. They offer no bags to customers.
B. They seldom sell bags at low prices.
C. Customers usually use briefcases as bags.
D. Customers themselves put groceries in bags.
30. What do we know about Paris in the last paragraph
A. Fresh food is becoming more popular.
B. People show much interest in shopping.
C. Bread sold at the city is fully covered by paper.
D. Supermarkets there are not as popular as in New York.
31. Which of the following shows how the text is organized
A. B.
C. D.
(P: Paragraph)
D
Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.
Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.
For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.
Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.
The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.
D. Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.
Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”
32. Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments
A. She hoped to create a better viola.
B. She was not satisfied with her career.
C. She expected to be a skilled woodworker.
D. She wanted to teach her students about music.
33. What do we know about Hutchins
A. She headed the Hutchins Consort.
B. She is very good at playing the octet.
C. She learned a simple method to make instruments.
D. She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.
34. Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.
A. is easier to make
B. has the same size
C. produces richer sounds
D. is less enjoyed by musicians
35. What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins
A. Respectful.
B. Concerned.
C. Doubtful.
D. Worried.

New lives for old phones
When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing. 36
Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a mobile phone recycling company. “Don’t throw your old phone away. 37 If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground — and it becomes a big problem,” he says.
Mobile phones contain some poisonous (有毒的) materials. If your phone goes to a landfill, these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That’s the water we need to drink or water that goes into rivers or the ocean. 38 That’s a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials.
“At Total Recall, we separate the old phones into pieces. Most of the materials in a mobile phone can be recycled and used again. 39 For example, phone batteries (电池) contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel (钢), and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries,” explains Mike.
“ 40 You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they’ll send it to us,” says Mike.
So, before you throw that old mobile phone away, use it one last time: search for a recycler near you and give them a call.
A. Send it to us and we’ll recycle it.
B. Recycling your old phone is easy.
C. How much is our old mobile phone worth
D. But what should we do with our old mobile phones
E. Millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.
F. We sell the parts and they are used to make new products.
G. Recycling materials helps keep the environment greener and cleaner.

Last Friday morning in the train station, I was witnessed something that moved me deeply. Right as I walk out into the main hall on way to my next connection, I saw a woman put something next to a sleeping homeless man. I felt curiously and I wondered if she had put some cashes there. Instead, I saw a sandwich. It made this moment so touching to me was that it was not about recognition, but to help a person with need and make her life just a bit more bearable.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Leo Kellner loves helping people in the sweetest way possible — by baking them cakes and pies. The 99-year-old from Hastings, Nebraska, lost his wife in 2012; they had been together for 72 years.
Since her passing, Kellner took up baking as a way to give back to the community. “I didn’t know what to do with myself,” Kellner said. “I was crying and crying, and I said, ‘I’ve got to have something to do,’ and that’s how it started.” That first year, Kellner made 144 pies for people in need. He reached out to community organizations to let them know he’d like to connect with families having a hard time. Kellner then started reaching out to those families, getting to know them, and baking up some love during their time of need.
“Everybody’s my favorite — I love everybody, even people that gave me an unpleasant time when things were going hard for me. I’ve since made them cakes and pies. I hold no grudges,” said Kellner.
Born in 1918, Kellner lived through the Great Depression (大萧条), when his family lost their farm. Kellner had to move from state to state as a teenager looking for possible work on farms. “I knew what it was to be poor, and a lot of times we just had eggs and flour (面粉) mixed up together,” he said. “So as long as I can do it, I will.”
And Kellner’s made quite an impact (影响). “I’ve got friends from all over,” he said. “I’ve gotten thank-you cards from Alaska.” Through his baking Kellner has helped the community a lot. He’s even helped some neighbors’ children learn to cook so they can spread love just as he does. “I do it for everybody,” said Kellner. “That’s just the way I am.” Kellner believes that this inclination (意愿) to give to everyone just might be the secret to a long, happy life.
1. Why did Kellner set out to bake cakes for people in need
A. To find a part-time job.
B. To connect with poor families.
C. To repay people for all their kindness.
D. To reduce his heartbreak of his wife’s death.
2. What does the underlined word “grudges” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Hate.
B. Hope.
C. Regrets.
D. Beliefs.
3. What can we learn about Kellner’s early life
A. He could enjoy a hearty breakfast.
B. He was no stranger to hardship.
C. He had a happy childhood.
D. He was fond of traveling.
4. What does Kellner say about helping others
A. It strengthens his cooking skills.
B. It changes his happy thoughts a lot.
C. It makes him well-known to the public.
D. It helps him stay positive and live long.
B
Dog owners who lived near Chicago’s Soldier Field knew to watch out for the coyote (草原狼).
The wild, doglike animal lived somewhere among the tall buildings near the football stadium. As the sun went down each evening, the coyote would lie in the grass next to a parking lot, waiting. Within his view, people walked their dogs along a bike trail (小路). Each night, the coyote would charge at the first dog to come along.
Dr. Stanley Gehrt, a scientist at The Ohio State University, led the team that solved the problem. Besides studying coyotes, he and his co-workers teach people ways to avoid problems with coyotes. In short, he says, “Don’t feed them, and manage your pets.”
The secret to the coyote’s success is intelligence. To survive in the wild, a coyote must hunt small animals, and avoid becoming a meal for wolves or bears. “This way of living creates a super-smart animal,” Dr. Gehrt says. One of the smartest changes coyotes made was to hide during the day and come out mainly at night in the city.
Coyotes have also learned to avoid their biggest killer: cars. One coyote has been seen sitting patiently at a busy crossroads. She may not know how traffic lights work, but she has learned that the cars will soon stop long enough for her to cross the street.
The male that charged at passing dogs near Soldier Field is an example. Dr. Gehrt and his co-workers had already been watching the coyote for months, and the animal had always avoided dogs. But now he and his mate had a home with young coyotes on top of the parking lot nearby. He was charging at the dogs to protect his family.
The researchers solved the problem. When the coyote pair appeared in the evening, they ran toward them, shouting and shaking a noisemaker — a coffee can with coins rattling (发出咔嗒咔嗒的声音) inside. “Usually, that’s all you have to do,” Dr. Gehrt says. “You do it once, and you’ll never see that coyote again.” Finally, the coyote pair moved out of the parking lot.
5. What troubled the dog owners living near Soldier Field
A. Their dogs being attacked by the coyote.
B. Their outdoor play being lessened.
C. Limited space to walk their dogs.
D. Increasingly heavy traffic.
6. What did the researchers find out about city coyotes
A. They are not as smart as dogs.
B. They are getting used to city life.
C. They need more care from people.
D. They usually hunt during the day.
7. How did the researchers solve the problem with the coyote pair
A. By frightening them away.
B. By throwing cans at them.
C. By catching them in the evening.
D. By sending them away from Chicago.
8. What’s the best title for the text
A. Smart animals in the city
B. Meet the coyote next door
C. Watch out for the coyote pair
D. Our love-hate relationship with coyotes

Dear Mr. Brown,
I’ve learned from our school website that you’re looking for a teaching assistant. I’m quite interested in the position.
I think I’m the right person for the job. First, as a hard-working student, I have a good command of English and do well in both speaking and writing. Besides, being the assistant to our English teacher, I’ve helped her hold many English activities, so I’ve got much experience and I’m familiar with all the aspects of this kind of work. Last, I’m easy to get along with and I enjoy working with others. For these reasons, I’m sure I can do the job well.
I really appreciate your attention and I hope I can hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

38. E。联系上文中的Mobile phones contain some poisonous materials及下文中的That’s a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials可知，人们每年会扔掉几百万台旧手机，而手机中含有有毒物质，所以这就相当于庞大的有毒物质被释放到环境中。E项在这里起承上启下的衔接作用。
39. F。根据上文中的Most of the materials in a mobile phone can be recycled and used again及下文中的例子可知，旧手机可以被回收再利用后制造成新的产品。
40. B。B项“回收你的旧手机其实很简单”是对下文的You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they’ll send it to us的概括。

A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea.
“It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.”
“Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.”
She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory (宿舍) at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated.
That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years.
“While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.”
But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter (收容所), or someone in need who you meet on the street.

C. They encouraged her to house the homeless.
D. They made her continue to give out sandwiches.

A. Some refused it politely.
B. They strongly supported it.
C. Some felt quite surprised by it.
D. They considered it unreasonable.
26. In what way is KKGS special
A. It has earned a lot of money from students.
B. It employs college students as volunteers.
C. It provides socks for those in need.
D. It was set up by the government.
27. What advice does the author offer to people
A. Take action in small ways.
B. Start your own organization.
C. Make donations from an early age.
D. Find creative ways to help people.

Last year, I spent two-and-a-half months in Paris, living alone and working on a writing project. Although there is a seemingly great divide between my culture and theirs, I realized I could learn an awful lot.
The first thing I noticed in Paris is that no one here walks around with a “to-go” cup of coffee. And I mean no one — I haven’t seen a single person carrying one in the days I’ve been here. Back home in New York, it’s normal for every other person on the street (including me) to be carrying a cup from Starbucks or their local coffee shop, but not here. It’s been a valuable lesson for me, and something I can take back from Paris. Now I carry my own cup to the coffee shop instead of getting yet another cup that will go straight into the garbage can (垃圾箱) ten minutes after it’s placed in my hands.
Also, in the grocery stores (杂货店), shoppers have to bag their own groceries. The simple act of doing that yourself is another chance to think about things: what kind of bag you’re using (I recently saw one customer at my local grocery store put his fruit, cans of soup, and toilet paper into his briefcase!), what you’re putting in the bag, and what you will really need to eat and use at home (Did I really need that roll of paper towels or will my dish towels back at the apartment do just fine ). My French friend uses the bags from the grocery store as her kitchen garbage bags. Now, so do I.
Anyway, in Paris, people do most of their shopping in small markets: they buy their fruit at one, their cheese at another, and then stop at their local bakery (面包店) to buy that day’s fresh-baked bread, and walk out holding the bread only one part of which is covered by a piece of paper big enough for their hand. I certainly haven’t noticed any supermarket like a Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club.
28. What is the author’s reaction to “to-go” coffee cups after visiting Paris
A. She pays little attention to them.
B. She is interested in them.
C. She refuses to use them.
D. She is surprised at them.
29. What does the author say about grocery stores in Paris
A. They offer no bags to customers.
B. They seldom sell bags at low prices.
C. Customers usually use briefcases as bags.
D. Customers themselves put groceries in bags.
30. What do we know about Paris in the last paragraph
A. Fresh food is becoming more popular.
B. People show much interest in shopping.
C. Bread sold at the city is fully covered by paper.
D. Supermarkets there are not as popular as in New York.
31. Which of the following shows how the text is organized
A. B.
C. D.
(P: Paragraph)
D
Carleen Hutchins finished building her first stringed instrument (弦乐器) in 1949, when she was 38. She is remembered as an excellent luthier. A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments, such as violins and guitars.
Hutchins was a primary school science teacher. She took up the viola (中提琴) at 36. But she wasn’t satisfied with the viola she bought. Since she was a skilled woodworker, she decided to build one herself.
For more than 50 years, she carved (雕刻) stringed instruments. Hutchins worked from her home — often in her kitchen. She used a scientific method to carve them. Over the years, she made around 500 instruments. Her method is still used. It helps luthiers carve high-quality stringed instruments.
Hutchins also created a family of eight violins known as the violin octet. They change in size and tone (音调). “It’s how the instrument is carved that makes it a violin,” Joe McNalley says. He is the founder of the Hutchins Consort, a group that plays the octet.
The four instruments in the string family are violin, viola, cello, and bass. They cannot play the lowest or highest notes of the piano. They play the notes in between. Hutchins created a family of eight violins that play all the notes a piano plays.
D. Quincy Whitney has written a book about Hutchins. “For centuries, musicians had talked about creating a family of violins that had a total string sound as wide as a piano,” she said.
Hutchins was an artist and a scientist. A big part of her dream was to create top-quality instruments that were affordable. “Her story is about how one person can not only make a difference,” says Whitney, “but can change a whole world.”
32. Why did Hutchins start to make stringed instruments
A. She hoped to create a better viola.
B. She was not satisfied with her career.
C. She expected to be a skilled woodworker.
D. She wanted to teach her students about music.
33. What do we know about Hutchins
A. She headed the Hutchins Consort.
B. She is very good at playing the octet.
C. She learned a simple method to make instruments.
D. She is a pioneer in the design of stringed instruments.
34. Different from the traditional violin family, the violin octet _____.
A. is easier to make
B. has the same size
C. produces richer sounds
D. is less enjoyed by musicians
35. What is Whitney’s attitude to Hutchins
A. Respectful.
B. Concerned.
C. Doubtful.
D. Worried.

New lives for old phones
When a new mobile phone starts to be sold in stores, many people rush out to buy one. We all want the newest, latest thing. 36
Mike Townsend works at Total Recall, a mobile phone recycling company. “Don’t throw your old phone away. 37 If you throw it away, it goes with other rubbish to become landfill. In other words, it is put in a big hole in the ground — and it becomes a big problem,” he says.
Mobile phones contain some poisonous (有毒的) materials. If your phone goes to a landfill, these poisonous materials can get out and get into the water under the ground. That’s the water we need to drink or water that goes into rivers or the ocean. 38 That’s a lot of landfill and a lot of poisonous materials.
“At Total Recall, we separate the old phones into pieces. Most of the materials in a mobile phone can be recycled and used again. 39 For example, phone batteries (电池) contain nickel and cadmium. The nickel is used to make steel (钢), and the cadmium can be used to make new batteries,” explains Mike.
“ 40 You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they’ll send it to us,” says Mike.
So, before you throw that old mobile phone away, use it one last time: search for a recycler near you and give them a call.
A. Send it to us and we’ll recycle it.
B. Recycling your old phone is easy.
C. How much is our old mobile phone worth
D. But what should we do with our old mobile phones
E. Millions of mobile phones are thrown away every year.
F. We sell the parts and they are used to make new products.
G. Recycling materials helps keep the environment greener and cleaner.

Last Friday morning in the train station, I was witnessed something that moved me deeply. Right as I walk out into the main hall on way to my next connection, I saw a woman put something next to a sleeping homeless man. I felt curiously and I wondered if she had put some cashes there. Instead, I saw a sandwich. It made this moment so touching to me was that it was not about recognition, but to help a person with need and make her life just a bit more bearable.

Leo Kellner loves helping people in the sweetest way possible — by baking them cakes and pies. The 99-year-old from Hastings, Nebraska, lost his wife in 2012; they had been together for 72 years.
Since her passing, Kellner took up baking as a way to give back to the community. “I didn’t know what to do with myself,” Kellner said. “I was crying and crying, and I said, ‘I’ve got to have something to do,’ and that’s how it started.” That first year, Kellner made 144 pies for people in need. He reached out to community organizations to let them know he’d like to connect with families having a hard time. Kellner then started reaching out to those families, getting to know them, and baking up some love during their time of need.
“Everybody’s my favorite — I love everybody, even people that gave me an unpleasant time when things were going hard for me. I’ve since made them cakes and pies. I hold no grudges,” said Kellner.
Born in 1918, Kellner lived through the Great Depression (大萧条), when his family lost their farm. Kellner had to move from state to state as a teenager looking for possible work on farms. “I knew what it was to be poor, and a lot of times we just had eggs and flour (面粉) mixed up together,” he said. “So as long as I can do it, I will.”
And Kellner’s made quite an impact (影响). “I’ve got friends from all over,” he said. “I’ve gotten thank-you cards from Alaska.” Through his baking Kellner has helped the community a lot. He’s even helped some neighbors’ children learn to cook so they can spread love just as he does. “I do it for everybody,” said Kellner. “That’s just the way I am.” Kellner believes that this inclination (意愿) to give to everyone just might be the secret to a long, happy life.
1. Why did Kellner set out to bake cakes for people in need
A. To find a part-time job.
B. To connect with poor families.
C. To repay people for all their kindness.
D. To reduce his heartbreak of his wife’s death.
2. What does the underlined word “grudges” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Hate.
B. Hope.
C. Regrets.
D. Beliefs.
3. What can we learn about Kellner’s early life
A. He could enjoy a hearty breakfast.
B. He was no stranger to hardship.
C. He had a happy childhood.
D. He was fond of traveling.
4. What does Kellner say about helping others

Dog owners who lived near Chicago’s Soldier Field knew to watch out for the coyote (草原狼).
The wild, doglike animal lived somewhere among the tall buildings near the football stadium. As the sun went down each evening, the coyote would lie in the grass next to a parking lot, waiting. Within his view, people walked their dogs along a bike trail (小路). Each night, the coyote would charge at the first dog to come along.
Dr. Stanley Gehrt, a scientist at The Ohio State University, led the team that solved the problem. Besides studying coyotes, he and his co-workers teach people ways to avoid problems with coyotes. In short, he says, “Don’t feed them, and manage your pets.”
The secret to the coyote’s success is intelligence. To survive in the wild, a coyote must hunt small animals, and avoid becoming a meal for wolves or bears. “This way of living creates a super-smart animal,” Dr. Gehrt says. One of the smartest changes coyotes made was to hide during the day and come out mainly at night in the city.
Coyotes have also learned to avoid their biggest killer: cars. One coyote has been seen sitting patiently at a busy crossroads. She may not know how traffic lights work, but she has learned that the cars will soon stop long enough for her to cross the street.
The male that charged at passing dogs near Soldier Field is an example. Dr. Gehrt and his co-workers had already been watching the coyote for months, and the animal had always avoided dogs. But now he and his mate had a home with young coyotes on top of the parking lot nearby. He was charging at the dogs to protect his family.
The researchers solved the problem. When the coyote pair appeared in the evening, they ran toward them, shouting and shaking a noisemaker — a coffee can with coins rattling (发出咔嗒咔嗒的声音) inside. “Usually, that’s all you have to do,” Dr. Gehrt says. “You do it once, and you’ll never see that coyote again.” Finally, the coyote pair moved out of the parking lot.
5. What troubled the dog owners living near Soldier Field
A. Their dogs being attacked by the coyote.
B. Their outdoor play being lessened.
C. Limited space to walk their dogs.
D. Increasingly heavy traffic.
6. What did the researchers find out about city coyotes
A. They are not as smart as dogs.
B. They are getting used to city life.
C. They need more care from people.
D. They usually hunt during the day.
7. How did the researchers solve the problem with the coyote pair
A. By frightening them away.
B. By throwing cans at them.
C. By catching them in the evening.
D. By sending them away from Chicago.
8. What’s the best title for the text
A. Smart animals in the city
B. Meet the coyote next door
C. Watch out for the coyote pair
D. Our love-hate relationship with coyotes

One possible version：
Dear Mr. Brown,
I’ve learned from our school website that you’re looking for a teaching assistant. I’m quite interested in the position.
I think I’m the right person for the job. First, as a hard-working student, I have a good command of English and do well in both speaking and writing. Besides, being the assistant to our English teacher, I’ve helped her hold many English activities, so I’ve got much experience and I’m familiar with all the aspects of this kind of work. Last, I’m easy to get along with and I enjoy working with others. For these reasons, I’m sure I can do the job well.
I really appreciate your attention and I hope I can hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
