A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting a crossroad in the Thai city of Khon Kaen as if waiting for someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.
One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking care of him. She had come to drop off some food.

Stories play a vital role in the growth and development of children. The books they read and the characters they get to know can become like friends. It's also good for children to understand that books are a useful source of information and that good reading skills are important for success in their future lives.
Children who can read well are more likely to have higher confidence levels. This will benefit them in school as they抣l feel able to participate fully in activities. Another part of building confidence is to know where you fit into the world. Stories can help with this process by showing children what people's lives are like where they live and in other parts of the world.
Stories are a great way to introduce new words and ideas into a child's language--starting with picture books for the very young, working up to more complex novels for teenagers. Fiction based on real life can also help children with their own life experience--it shows them how diverse the world is and that some people's lives are vastly different from theirs. And the process is done in a natural way. There's no actual teaching involved at all, but they learn from simply reading the story.
Reading helps children understand that there are other children who feel the same way and they are not alone. This helps children understand that feelings are normal and should be expressed. Watching their responses to the feelings of the characters in the stories will give you some idea of how a child feels about certain situations and emotions. For example, how the child responds to the character in the story feeling sad or scared will give you some idea of how the child thinks.
As you can see, children's stories are important for a number of reasons and form a vital part of the growing process. Being part of that process can bring children a sense of satisfaction as well as being great fun. So, go and get your children some wonderful books to allow them to enjoy a relaxing bedtime story.
28. What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Reading stories benefits children a lot.
B. Reading is the best way to gain information.
C. Reading stories helps children make more friends.
D. Reading skills should be developed at a young age.
29. How could reading stories raise children's confidence?
A. Inspiring children to get good grades.
B. Supporting children's language development.
C. Aiding children with living in a better family environment.
D. Allowing children to explore their suitable positions in society.
30. What does the author think about learning through reading?
A. Unrealistic. B. Effective. C. Time-saving D. Expensive.
31. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Most teenagers are fond of complex novels.
B. Picture books are lacking in real life situations.
C. Most children have difficulty in expressing themselves.
D. Parents can know kids better from kids' reading responses.
D
At a time when industries are under greater pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, more production facilities are turning to digital sensing technology to provide the real-time insights they need for improved performance. What if one digital sensor could measure multiple signals?
Yokogawa’s DPharp（差压传送器)digital technology has the unique ability to measure two pressure parameters （参数）,delivering reliable and accurate measurement of plant operations. The unique aspect of this digital technology is that it measures two parameters in one sensor module, providing additional insight into a plant's operations. It is the only sensor in the world that does this.
DPharp transmitters(发射器)use silicon(硅)resonant(谐振的)sensor technology to measure both differential and still pressure. The sensor consists of two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators that shake at a certain frequency and, when pressure is applied, the frequency of one resonator increases while the other decreases. By monitoring these frequencies digitally, both differential and still pressure can be measured at the same time. The frequency output is directly read by the central processing unit of the transmitter.
DPharp can be used in any processing plant across any industry梖rom oil and gas to food and drinks. DPharp抯 unique digital sensing technology allows engineering firms and plant engineers to create designs that will equate to an average reduction of 40 percent. Where they would typically use five measuring devices, they are using three by using the multi-sensing technology. That is a significant cost reduction in the number of devices installed and the added benefit is that, as there are less devices，the engineering and design is less complex, which means less materials and less equipment to maintain. Furthermore, there are fewer transmitter spares required, which reduces costs. Tony Farah, Product Manager, said that more organisations are seeing the significant benefits of smart devices like DPharp.
32. What is special about DPharp digital technology?
A. It provides the real-time insights.
B. It brings significant changes in engineering.
C. It measures two parameters in one sensor.
D. It provides accurate measurement.
33. What is the frequency output read by?
A. Two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators.
B. The central processing unit of the transmitter.
C. Monitoring devices.
D. The operator of the plant.
34. What is the plants attitude to DPharp?
A. Cautious. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. How DPharp is bringing value across production plants.
B. How sensor works in a different way.
C. Why DPharp is efficient and reliable.
D. Where DPharp can be used.

Finding motivation (动机), especially study motivation, is not always easy. 36 Here are some ways of doing it.
Offer yourself encouragement.
Yes, you should give yourself a prize or some kind of reward when you've done a task. 37 Remember, you have to know the exact conditions that you need to meet in order to receive the wonderful cake.
38
You need to feel confident about your studies. I am sure all of us have succeeded on several occasions. Remember these past successes and you will feel more motivated to continue!
Write down your goals.
Don't just think about them, don't just say them, write them down! 39 And that's why you find salesmen always want you to write something down before you actually buy something. By writing your name down, you are in a sense giving your support for their cause. If then you are asked to buy what they are selling, you are more likely to do that than if you hadn't signed the paper!
See your goals.
40 Put them up on the wall and paste (粘贴) small post-it notes all over the place. You have to keep on reminding yourself of the purpose behind your studies and what type of results you're expecting to achieve.
A. Remember past successes.
B. The written word is very powerful.
C. Don't forget about buying yourself a gift.
D. Don't just write them down and leave them like that.
E. Moreover, talking about your goals with others helps a lot.
F. However, with a little effort we can learn how to increase our motivation.
G. It could be something as simple as sweets or something greater like a vacation.

54 , I suffered a lot. But I know whatever I have to face in my life I was there and I 55 . I think I am much stronger for having taken part in the project.

When foreigners come to China, they may be 56 (surprise) at Chinese’s special fondness and preference for seals（印章）. To Chinese, seals are an art of deep cultural roots, 57 combines the essence of both calligraphy(书法) and sculpture and inspires generations to study, to appreciate and to collect.
It is believed that seals came out as early 58 8,000 years ago after our ancestors could make pottery wares (陶瓷) and had private property. They tried to make marks on?? 59 (they) own possessions to prevent them from being stolen. When the first dynasty 60 (found), the king began to use seals to empower(授权)and to show lordly credits. Only the king’s special seal was then called “Xi”, 61 (represent) the highest authority. The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, had his “Xi”? 62 (make) out of the invaluable and beautiful jade “Heshi Bi”.
Then the local governments also needed seals for 63 same function. Meanwhile, private seals were carved in a variety of lucky 64 (character) and vivid animal patterns. 65 (gradual)，the sphragistics (印章学) came into being.

阅读下面短文. 根据所给情节进行续写. 使之构成一个完整的故事。
Tyler was enrolled in my senior class for a semester. He had impulse-control(克制冲动）and anger management issues. He had been suspended(停课）many times in previous years. When he entered my class, I assumed the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked in the front of the class, I would ask students questions calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a glib(未经思考的）answer. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at the least motivate them to sit quietly and attentively. By contrast, Tyler was just loud and offensive.
He had been in so much trouble through the years. He expected his teachers to know about his referrals(移交）where he was sent to the office, and suspensions, where he was given compulsory days to stay out of school. I had rarely found referrals to be effective because students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. In the middle of the lesson, I said in the same tone of voice，“Tyler，why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can't remember what he said other than that he included several impolite words. I sent Tyler to the office with a discipline referral，and he received a week’s out-of-school suspension.
To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler's anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was out of school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.

Dear Jessica，
Knowing that you are interested in the eye exercises Chinese kids are doing every day, I'd like to share
some information with you.
Nowadays, a number of Chinese adolescents are suffering from short-sightedness. Based on traditional Chinese treatment theory, eye exercises have been practiced regularly to help reduce the rate of eye disorder. There are basically four sessions in the whole process, which takes approximately 10 minutes. When doing eye exercises, you need to make sure your hands are clean and press on the correct acupuncture points as required，you want to know more details, do not hesitate to write to me.
Yours,
Li Hua

On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door awaiting him？ At last he came, with his hands in his pockets. I went up to him and said hello. I wanted to break the ice. I asked him to talk to me for a moment. Taylor seemed reluctant at first, but finally agreed. I told him I was eager to start over with him. At the same time, I told him that if he couldn’t control himself sometimes in class, he could step out of the door for a while to collect himself.
A spark of surprise flashed across his face. He was stunned there, staring at me with wide eyes. But it was always pleasant to be believed in] He made up his mind that he had the power to choose his own way of behaving？From then on, Taylor listened carefully and took an active part in class. He spared every minute to study. At the end of the year, Tyler wrote me a thank-you note telling me how great his year had been. I still have that note today, and it moves me to reread it when I'm stressed about teaching.
