A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket at the scene of his crime has been given a

lesson in honesty. His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the $25,000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the cash. The robbery happened when maths professor VinicioSabbatucci, 58, was changing a tire on an Italian motorway. Another motorist, who stopped “to

Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into

handing them the cash. But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the man

In a park.The robber, a 35‐year-old unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst

into tears. He could not believe what was happening. “Why didn’t you keep the money?” he

asked. The professor replied, “I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.

I’ve always known that dogs are clever, but even I was surprised when I heard about a dog called Red, at the Battersea Dog’s Home in London.

The home has been caring for lost and unwanted animals for over 140 years. Recently, the workers there got amazed when they came to work in the morning. They found that some of the dogs had got out of their kennels(狗窝) during the night, opened cupboards and taken out of food and toys. And it happened again, and again. The manager described how as many as nine dogs were escaping every night. “When we came in, dogs were running around having fun and games and causing a lot of mess. We couldn’t understand it.”

Someone or something was unlocking the kennels during the night. The manager decided that the only way to know the truth was to put in cameras to record how the dogs were getting out.

When she and her workers played back the recording, they saw Red, a three-year-old dog, put his nose through the bars of his kennel and use his teeth to press the button that opened the door. That was clever enough, but Red did more: he unlocked the kennels next to his and let the dogs out too. The group broke into cupboards and stole dog biscuits and toys to play with.

The manager said, “It’s surprising that Red worked out how to open his own kennel, but also that he then let all his friends out.” I suppose, Red didn’t like to party alone.

The story has a happy ending: after Red was shown on TV, several people came and offered to give him a new home as a family pet.

2.What did Red do after he go out of his kennel at night?

A. He slept in a cupboard.

B. He let the other dogs out.

C. He took biscuits and toys back to the other dogs.

D. He showed the other dogs how to unlock their doors.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. Red didn’t like being at the Dog’s Home.

B. Red and his friends had a good time when they escaped.

Tips of Avoiding the Computer or Internet Addiction

The Internet has been widely used in recent years. It is a convenient way to share information, do business and contact others. 1. Getting rid of the addiction requires discipline and commitment. Here are some steps that may help your kids to overcome the Internet addiction.

First, you should try to find out just how much time your kids are spending online. Track the information for a few weeks and try to separate time spent on homework or research and time spent playing. Compare this to the amount of time spent with friends, at clubs, in activities and for hobbies. 2.

3. In my house, the family computer sits in the living room. At no time is someone allowed to be “behind closed doors” with a computer. Not only does this help honest people stay honest, but it helps to connect to your teens when they are online. Besides, it is easier to monitor your teens’ time online.

4. Don’t speak of the fact that they are online all the time, but try to get to the root cause. Often someone gets online because he/she feels safe there. Talk to your teens about what is going on in their life. If they will not talk to you, then find a way to connect your teens to the people they contact in real life.

Lastly, remember that if an Internet addiction is growing, your kids need help. In many cases, the Internet is a safe place for people with poor self-esteem, negative self-image, or for people who have been hurt. 5.

If there is a problem, and a person needs help, these symptoms will continue to worsen until they get help.

A. If things are out of balance, try to correct them.

B. There are some disadvantages of getting online.

C. Second, move computers out of your children’s rooms.

D. It is a good idea to contact the teacher for help if possible.

E. Also, if your kids spend too much time online, talk to them.

F. Unfortunately, some people develop an addiction to the Internet.

G. It is the same with people with eating disorders or drug addictions.

Dec.11 marked the 15th anniversary of China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). On that day in 2001, China formally became a member of the WTO. Now the country has grown into the world’s second-largest economy and the largest trading country, while millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty. And 15 years on, it’s evident that being a WTO member has transformed the nation’s everyday lives for the better.

Imports are now a common sight in Chinese stores and supermarkets, while they were previously rarely seen on shelves. The Chinese now have access to many imports varying from luxury goods like high-end cars and famous brand watches, to daily necessities. China’s WTO membership has also made imports less expensive for the Chinese public.

For instance, since 2005, no tariffs (关税) have been imposed (施加) on Chinese imports of digital cameras and other devices.

Our education industry has also benefited from China’s WTO membership. Many top global universities have joined forces with Chinese ones to establish cooperative education institutions, bringing foreign teaching concepts to Chinese students. For example, New York University Shanghai was jointly founded by New York University and East China Normal University. In addition, an increasing number of Chinese students are furthering their studies abroad, while many foreign students are coming to China to carry out their higher education. According to the Ministry of Education, 523,700 students studied overseas last year, and the number is expected to keep growing this year.

China’s WTO entry has brought benefit not only to the country’s people, but also for the rest of the world.

1.One advantage of China’s WTO membership is that ________.

A. all the Chinese people are out of poverty

B. no tariffs will be charged for different kinds of imports

C. the Chinese can buy more foreign products at a lower price

D. it only brings benefits to Chinese agriculture and education

2.New York University Shanghai is an example of ________.

A. foreign-funded universities

B. educational reform

C. state-owned universities

D. international cooperation

3.What may be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. How China’s entry into the WTO has changed people’s lives.

B. What the Chinese have got from being a member of the WTO.

C. The efforts the Chinese government has made to fight against poverty.

D. The good effects on the other countries after China’s entering the WTO.

4.What is the text mainly about?
