Carefully play with pets
Do you have a pet Many children like pets and even treat them like humans sometimes. They may like to kiss or hug (拥抱)their pets. But this can make you sick, according to Daily Mail.
Kissing or hugging pets such as dogs and cats can cause people to take in drug-resistant bacteria(耐药细菌), British scientists said.

·Do not kiss your pets on the mouth.
·Do not let your pets lick(舔)your mouth or nose.

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher's dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn't that I didn't want to do well, but simply that I didn't think I was able to do well. “I can't" became my state of mind in all things related to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can't" was not a choice in Mr. A's class.
Mr. A always greeted us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It's a great day to be alive!”It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can't” student
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A's presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn't know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes.
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn't become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding me, “Kate, smile! It's a great day to be alive!”
25. What does the word "aversion" underlined in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. interest. B. preference. C. misunderstanding. D. dislike.
26. What first made the author look forward to math class
A. Mr. A's attitude. B. Her interest in math.
C. Her friends' encouragement. D. The top achievers in her class.
27. How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr. A
A. It was straight. B. It was efficient.
C. It was challenging. D. It was impressive.
C
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump ”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
So how should you motivate yourself More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. This can affect your work. So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. They can change according to circumstances. They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough. However, this should not discourage you. You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
28. What should you do when your heart is not in your work
A. Take a break and cancel the task.
B. Ignore the feeling and push through.
C. Reflect and make your thoughts clear.
D. Speed up and finish the task quickly.
29. According to the passage, why are measurable goals important
A. To avoid setting any goals.
B. To make the goals more challenging.
C. To impress others with achievements.
D. To change goals as things around you change.
30. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Setting and achieving goals wisely.
B. Motivation and goal setting go hand in hand.
C. Overcoming planned and unplanned difficulties.
D. Changing your goals when things around you change.
D
A new study in the journal of Tourism Analysis shows frequent travelers are happier with their lives than people who don't travel at all.
Chun-Chu Chen, an assistant professor at Washington State University, conducted a survey to find out why some individuals travel more frequently than others and whether or not travel and tourism experiences have a lasting effect on happiness and wellness.
Participants in the survey who reported regularly traveling at least 75 miles away from home reported being about 7%happier when asked about their overall well-being than those who reported traveling very rarely or not at all. The results of his analysis show individuals who pay more attention to tourism-related information and frequently discuss their travel plans with friends are more likely to go on regular vacations than those who aren't constantly thinking about their next trip.
“While things like work, family life and friends play a bigger role in overall reports of well-being, the accumulation(积累)of travel experiences does appear to have a small yet noticeable effect on self-reported life satisfaction. "Chen said.
Participants in the study were asked about the importance of travel in their lives, how much time they spent looking into and planning future vacations, and how many trips they went on over a year. They were also asked about their life satisfaction. Out of the 500 survey participants, a little over half reported going on more than four pleasure trips a year.
Only 7%of respondents did not take any vacations.
As travel restrictions due to global epidemics(流行病)begin to relax in the future, the research could have important effects on both tourists and the tourism industry. Based on the results of the study, Chen said travel companies, resorts and even airlines, could launch social media campaigns, such as creating signs about the scientific benefits of vacation, to spark people's interest in discussing their opinions about travel.
31. What is the benefit of frequent travelling according to the study
A. Getting more tourism information.
B. Improving one's well-being.
C. Bettering tourism industry.
D. Making more friends.
32. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A. Why the professor carried out the study.
B. How the participants felt about the survey.
C. What the participants were interviewed about.
D. What the participant spanned to do in the future.
33. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Tourism industry should improve their service.
B. Global epidemics will be more serious in the future.
C. The results of the study will benefit tourism industry.
D. People will live a happier life after global epidemics.
34. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Travel More and Be Happier
B. Make Good Use of Travelling
C. Make Travel Plans with Friends
D. Prepare for the Tourism Development

Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids' group. Being the tallest kid in the class, she was teased(嘲笑) by her classmates, who were always chanting "Landy, Landy, long as spagheti(意大利面)".

One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!(半秃)
“What's the matter with it ”She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking( 啄 )order. ”he explained, “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it.
Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies. "
“Oh, what a poor little thing!”Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped(捧起)the frightened chicken up in her arms. Suddenly, she thought of Landy! She was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height.
Catherine decided to make an apology to Landy with the kids following her the next Monday.
