A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.
"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the teacher, "but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"
"Nothing! " the students said.
"OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the teacher asked.
"Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students.

"Your arm could go numb. Have to go to hospital for sure!" said another student. All the students laughed.

It's important to think of the challenges(挑战) in your life, but it' s even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed.

Every morning, he would go to the post office to get newspapers and then give them out from house to house before breakfast. But what he earned was not enough, he had to go to the street corner after breakfast and waited for those who would have their shoes shined. He had to be very careful in his work. If he should carelessly dirty their trousers or stockings, he would be blamed without getting anything. Samuel had no time to go back home for lunch.

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dog without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (the name of a kind of dog), is groomed for months before competing in the Oklahoma City Summer Classic Dog Show and can be the winner sometimes. So people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
( ) 32. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Expressions about the dog. B. How to live with the dog.
C. Americans’ love for the dog. D. Dog expressions with the weather.
( ) 33.What does the underlined word “groomed” mean?
A. trained B. praised C. awarded D. dressed
( ) 34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Everyone can be successful if he learns from the old.
B. It might be difficult for the young to learn new skills.
C. Junkyard dogs are careful in money arrangement.
D. Mean dogs aren’t so awful as their appearance in fact.
( ) 35. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?
A. Many dogs are loved and treated well by people in America.
B."Every dog has its day” means dogs are the most successful animal.
