It's fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites. Right before   16  Kennedy Airport in New York, my grandma   17  me of the behavior of the native mosquitoes around the   18  like me. She said, "There's an old saying—the   19  you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood   20  to the mosquitoes. " Not   21  it, I replied, "Grandma, that's just an old wives' tale!" 
Well, less than a week   22  my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a   23  of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being   24  , but they all proved useless.
Late one   25  in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the   26  of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I   27  my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being   28   she said, "There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. "  With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地)   29  her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would   30  on her face.  However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others'   31  , only to find they were all sleeping  32  as the same thing occurred again and again.

考点：这是一篇叙事类短文,通过描写我多年后回家乡，奶奶告诉我离家乡越远，血越甜，越招蚊子咬，开始我认为这是无稽之谈，事实表明，奶奶说的是对的。所以我认为对于那些老人留下的老话，不能有偏见。
点评：答题前一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯。

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

[1] Many people spend a lot of time making money because they believe the money itself will make them happy, or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy．They make great efforts to achieve that perfect relationship, the perfect house, the beautiful body, the approval of others, all in an attempt to be happy.

[2] Sometimes these things make people happy; other times, people stress over not having reached the goals, or reach them and find they’re still unhappy．Other times, people focus on just one goal and don’t have time for other things that will make them truly happy.

[3] Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness．Some of them are the things like money, friends, health and living conditions; others are things you may not think of in your daily life, such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.

[4] So while setting your goals, remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support, personal development, physical health and meaningful pursuits(追求) besides career success and financial security．_____________, your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction．In addition to being optimistic, happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate, rather than the victims of circumstance．

[5] Explore the state of your life, assess how truly happy you are, and find a direction to work toward that will likely bring more happiness．Reach your goals, set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy.

It’s impossible for those that stick to one thing only to experience happiness from other things.

Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words．(Please answer within 5 words.)

Do you think money could bring true happiness? Why? (Please answer within 30 words.)

Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.

Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.          

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

From paragraph 3 we know that _________.

    A. animals are as clever as human beings

    B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees

    C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

    D. dogs have the same speaking abilities as 3-year-old children

    A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right

    B. Rico can recognize different things including toys

    C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

    D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them

Which of the following statements is true?

    A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's physical abilities.

    B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

    C. The Border collie is world-famous for fetching objects.

    D. Rico is born to understand all its owner's commands.

What does the writer want to tell us?

    A. To train your dog.                        B. To talk to your dog.

 C. To be friendly to your dog.                D. To be careful with your dog.
