It was the last evening of the year. A poor little girl carried matches(火柴) in her hand. No one had bought any all day long. The girl walked along the street with no shoes, cold and hungry.
In a corner, she sat down. She was afraid to go home. She didn’t make a coin(硬币), and perhaps her father would beat(打) her. Her home was almost as cold as the street.
She struck(划) one match, and held her hands over the flame(火焰). She wanted to warm her
small hands. Surprisingly, she found herself sitting before a large stove(火炉). How warm it was! As the child wanted to warm her feet, the flame died down, and the stove disappeared.
A second match was lighted. She saw a table full of delicious food. The roast goose(烤鹅) jumped down from the dishes, and came to the poor child. But when she wanted to eat it, the match was burned out(熄灭).
She struck another match. This time, her dead grandmother came up. “Grandma!” cried the child, “Oh, take me with you! I know that you will leave me as soon as the match goes out.” She lighted all the matches hurriedly. She would like to stop her grandmother disappearing. Her grandmother took the little girl in her arms, and they both flew high together, until they were in that place where there is neither cold, nor hunger, nor pain.

People all know dogs can smell very well, so people usually use dogs to look for missing people, and to find out drugs(毒品) and even disease(疾病). But scientists weren’t sure if stressed(有压力的) people had a special smell. And if they did, they weren’t sure whether dogs could find out that smell. It shows that the answer to both questions is “yes”.
Wilson is a scientist who worked with four dogs. He taught the dogs to use a special smell-testing thing with three open boxes. Then he used meat to train(训练) the dogs to find the right box. Over time, he gave the dogs harder and harder smelling jobs. The final goal(目标) was to see if they could smell stress from a person.
With the help of other scientists, Wilson got 36 samples(样本) from different people. He got them when the people were stressed, and also when they were not. Then the dogs had to find out the stressed one. In all, the dogs did 720 of these tests. To his surprise, the dogs could find out the stressed one about 94% of the time.
The results(结果) show that stress does have a smell and dogs can know. Wilson says the news could be very useful in training service dogs, because their job is to help make that stress lower.
31. What can’t dogs do from paragraph 1
A. Look for drugs. B. Cure(治疗) disease. C. Find missing people.
32. What are the right order(顺序) about Wilson’s dog training
a. He taught dogs to smell special boxes.
b. He gave dogs harder smelling jobs.
c. He used food to train the dogs.
d. Dogs could smell the stress.
A. a-b-c-d B. a-c-b-d C. a-d-c-b
33. Which of the following is TRUE according to Para. 3
A. Wilson got 720 samples from stressed people.
B. Scientists all felt very sorry to know the result.
C. Dogs could find out the stressed sample most of the time.
34. Why does Wilson think the news is useful
A. Because it helps people to cure stress diseases.
B. Because more dogs can be used to look for people.
C. Because people can train dogs to make people less stressed.
35. Where can we see this passage
A. In a story book. B. In an art magazine. C. In a science newspaper.

Over the past years, Ye has helped more than 2,000 children, and Yang Hongyan is one of them. “Without Grandpa Ye’s help, I may have stopped learning.” says Yang.
“It must be a lie to say that I’m not tired. But I think the meaning of life is doing something for others, and that’s the most important thing of life.” says Ye.
