Sam, a dog, was left behind in Colorado while his owners, Mr. and Mrs. Green moved to Southern California. They did not give the dog up. They found him a very nice home before they moved. They would have let Sam accompany them, but they were afraid the dog's presence would make it difficult for them to rent a house when they reached their destination.
The Green family lived in Colorado for less than a year. Before that, they had lived in the same neighborhood in California to which they returned. So Sam had been there before, but only for a short time when he was young.
Several months after the Greens left Colorado, after they were comfortably settled back in California, they heard a scratch at the door. They couldn't imagine who might be there. It never occurred to them that it might be Sam, because they were sure he was happily set up with his new family back in Colorado. When they opened the door, the Greens saw a dirty, tired dog with very hurting feet. The animal looked a little bit like Sam, but no one could believe that Sam could have walked 840 miles on his own. The tired dog spent the night under the family car. The next day, when he was more rested, he performed some of his old tricks. The Greens knew they had their own dog back.

Roger was a thief, but he wasn't very clever. When he was in school, he stole apples or oranges from other children. Sometimes he stole pencils or books from other children. But he always got caught.
The teacher spoke to Roger's parents and they tried to stop him from stealing things, but Roger wouldn't stop. He kept stealing.
When he was older, he began to steal from stores, but he was still stupid. Once, he went into a store wearing the clothes he had stolen the day before. The store had the price tags (标签) on them, and the store manager called the police. They warned him that he would go to jail if he didn't stop stealing.
Then Roger decided to rob a bank. He planned everything. He got some gloves so that he would not leave fingerprints, and a mask so that no one would recognize him.
“But what if they recognize my voice？” he thought.
He decided to write his message on a piece of paper so that he wouldn't need to speak. He found an old envelope and wrote “give me all the money” on the back of it. He got a toy gun and went to the bank. He put on his mask and his gloves and showed the note to the bank clerk. The clerk gave him all the money, and Roger ran out of the bank and went home.
Ten minutes later he heard a knock on the door. It was the police. They had come to arrest him for robbing the bank.
“How did you find me so quickly？” asked Roger.

We had known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special time. The question is not as simple as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in constant (持续的) darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continue to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some special ways of knowing the time. Their sense time does not depend on information from the outside world. It is inside them: a kind of “inner clock”. This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it is later found that not just plants but animals have this “inner clock” which control (控制) the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Human beings, then, are also influenced by it. Whether we wish or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep or need for food.
8．Before the experiment arrived at a conclusion, people had thought that the flowers would________.
A．never open in constant darkness
B．change their usual time to open
C．open ahead of the time as they usually did
D．continue to open at usual time
9．A recent experiment showed that________.
A．different flowers open and close at different times of day
B．for their opening and closing, flowers do not need information from the outside world
C．flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room
D．flowers can be used for telling the time
10．The sense of time that flowers have is connected with________.
A．its age and size
B．light and temperature
C．a kind of strange power inside them
D．some unknown information from the outside world
11．What will happen if we make good use of the “inner clock”？
A．We'll need less sleep or food.
B．We'll be able to sleep as long as we wish to.
C．We'll be able to change our work time when necessary.
D．We'll have more energy to do our work better.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有压力的) life
Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria.“Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day，” says Dr. Kataria.“Everyone's naturally good at laughing — it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5 year study in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha，”while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!
12．In which country was the first Laughter Club started
A．Britain. B．America.
C．Australia. D．India.
13．How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class
A．Surprised. B．Pleased.
C．Nervous. D．Stressful.
14．When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real
A．After a few minutes.
B．After a few hours.
C．After a few seconds.
D．After a few days.
15．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.
B．40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.
C．Adults laugh more often than children in a day.
D．Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful (有压力的) life
Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world — and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.
The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria.“Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day，” says Dr. Kataria.“Everyone's naturally good at laughing — it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5 year study in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So, what happens at a Laughter Club I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha，”while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real — and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!

参考范文：
Dear Jenny,
Your letter reached me shortly after I had finished my homework. It's very nice of you to think of me.
In your letter you asked me why public servants in our country are asked to give up smoking. In China many people smoke, which affects their health and pollutes the environment around them. Many diseases are related to smoking. Smokers not only affect their own health, but also affect the people around them. What's worse, it is likely that the teenagers will follow the adults and start to smoke, which makes their parents and teachers worried. Now more and more people come to realize the harm that smoking has caused. There is a ban on smoking in some places. So first of all public servants are asked to give up smoking.
As long as people keep away from smoking, they can live a healthier and happier life.
Best wishes.
Li Yan
