19．To Whom It May Concern：
Your address was forwarded to us by How to Magazine．All of us here think The International Institute of Not Doing Much is the best organization in the world．You know how to avoid unnecessary activities!
As a matter of fact，we closely followed the advice in your article．First，we replaced all our telephones with carrier pigeons．Simply removing the jingle of telephones and replacing them with the pleasant sounds of birds has had a remarkable effect on everyone．Besides，birds are cheaper than telephone service．After all，we are a business．We have to think of the bottom line．As a side benefit，the birds also add the nutrients to the grass outside the new employees'sauna（桑拿房）．
Next，we sold the computers off to Stab，Grab，Grit，and Nasty，a firm of lawyers nearby．Our electricity bill went way down．Big savings!The boss is impressed．We have completely hugged paper technology．Now that we all use pencils，doodling （涂鸦） is on the increase，and the quality of pencil Woman Ship is impressive，as you can tell from my handwriting in this letter．By the way，if you can，please send this letter back to us．We can erase and reuse it．Just tie it to Maggie's leg and she'll know where to take it．
Now it's very calm and quiet here．You can notice the difference．No more loud chatter on the telephones!All we hear is the scratching of pencil on paper，the sound of pigeons，and the delivery of inter-office letters by paper airplane．
Wonderful!I've always wanted to work for an insurance company ever since I was a little girl．Now it's perfect．
Sincerely yours，
Eleanor Lightly
Spokeswoman and Company Hair Stylist

20．Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found a new recipe（方法） for success．According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．
However，it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite．For example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression，while a dog doing the same signals submission（屈服）．
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behavior．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk"Dog"，and dogs can learn how to talk"Cat"．
What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence．They can learn to read each other's body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected．Once familiar with each other's presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom（梳理） each other．
The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even world superpowers．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．
32．The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toB．
A．early            B．smoothly   C．quickly              D．painfully
33．Some cats and dogs may fight whenA．

A．They eat and sleep together．
B．They know something from each other's voices．

    The most efficient way seems to make the people know（68）their（they） fear，for example，by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings．
Another way to overcome the fear is to learn to control the physical symptoms．When （69）faced（face） with a th reatening situation，one can take slow，deep breaths．If possible，a few minutes of deep thinking may be（70）effective（effect） in reducing tension．In a word，the fear of heights can be dealt with．
14．Dear Ms．Wang，
  I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year．
  I've decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course．I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them．
  So next academic year，Term 1 will be like always：sentences to paragraphing．And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay．The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE．By that time，if the students have done their job correctly，then they should be able to write quite well．
  As for the Latin course，I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what's on offer before I actually introduce the course．A number of students already emailed me about the course．
  I am sure you don't understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is．People around the world are interested in what we plan to do．There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course．Please share what I have sai d with the administration．I want them to understand the importance of this course．The reason I have contacted these colleagues （actually Oxford contacted me） is that I have confidence in our students and in myself．I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin，they are going to be amazed．It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on．
  Well，that's it for now．I'll see you soon．
Yours，
Edward Johnson21．According to the letter，what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1？C

18．Jo worked at a bush school （76）whose classrooms were made of bamboo and roofs of grass．There is no electricity or water there．Many of the students walked a long way to get to school．Jo hoped to make some difference to the children's lives by （77）teaching （teach） them．The other day，Jo visited Tombe's home．When they arrived at the village，Tombe's mother who had been working in her garden，started crying"ieee ieee"．Tombe's father led them to his house，（78）a low bamboo hut with grass （79）sticking （ stick ） out of the roof，where he could only see a few tin plates and cups and a couple of pots．What they ate were sweet potatoes and corn and greens．
That night Jo and Jenny （80）slept （sleep ） on a newly made platform．They left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes．
19．One of the latest trends（趋势） in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs．Au Pair in Stamford，Conn，for example，has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4，000since 2004．And that's true all across the country．
"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age"Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2-year old son．"I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future，"After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says．
Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China．She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots．"Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to（接触） the language and culture．"she says．
"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，"says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of Children．"But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders．Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10or 12．"
The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese．It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years．

29．What does the term"au pair"in the text mean？D．
A．A mother raising her children on her own
B．A child learning a foreign language at home
C．A professor in language education of children
D．A young foreign woman taking care of children．
30． Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants themD．
A．to live in China some day      
 B．to speak the language at home
C．to catch up with other children 
D．to learn about the Chinese culture
31．What can we infer from the text？A．
A．Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America
B．Educated woman do better in looking after children
C．Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills．
D．Children can learn a foreign language well in six months．
