  Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills (读写能力) . With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence(自信心) , according to Inter-mountain Therapy Animals(ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs ( READ) .

  The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the ides. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache. ”said Lisa Myron, manager of the children's department.

  Last November the two groups started“Dog Day Afternoon ”in the children's department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed ”book at the last class.

  The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  With eco-tourism on the rise, eco-hotels are fast becoming the darling of the travel industry.These days, however, staying at an eco-hotel doesn't necessarily mean vacationing in a tree house in the Costa Rican jungle, although that is certainly a choice.

  The majority of eco-hotels fall into one of several categories:hotels and resorts that conserve ecologically important habitats; “green” hotels that reduce, recycle, minimize waste, and protect water; sustainable hotels that harvest food from gardens on the hotel property or get part or all of their power from renewable energy; hotels that encourage community involvement such as guests taking part in trail clearing; and hotels that offer some form of environmental education to their guests.

  As such, eco-hotels are a various group.Stylish urban hotels like the Willard Inter-Continental Washington focus on energy conservation whereas the Rosario Resort & Spa on Orcas Island in Washington State offers a wildly popular “green” vacation package where guests can “take a hike, clear a trail”.

  No matter what you call them, eco-hotel, eco-lodge, eco-resort, or green hotel, they're all part of the “greening” of the tourism industry.

  Part of what drives this greening of the hotel industry is no doubt competition.Going green is yet another way to distinguish a hotel from the mass of other excellent hotels that consumers have to choose from.But for many hotels, it's also part of their philosophy.With the concept of “going green” firmly rooted in consumers' minds, eco-hotels have taken it to the next level, and whether or not money is the driving factor behind the greening of the hotel industry doesn't matter so much as it's good for the planet.

To Whom It May Concern:

Your address was forwarded to us by Why Brother 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!

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 fertilize the lawn outside the new employee sauna.

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 embraced paper technology. Now that we all use pencils, doodling is on the increase, and the quality of pencilwomanship 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 correspondence 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.

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go . But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often , says Barry Brown, an expert in human computer inter action, it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr Brown by Skype (网络电话软件).He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS equipped car to use during his stay .Barry Brown:“And they just put in an address and then set off to their destination. And , then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in . So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’”.

Mr Brown says this a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown:“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn . Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”. It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand . They also include timing issues (时机问题)related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

72.In Paragraph 2, Mr Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to        .

   A.build up his own reputation               B.laugh at his stupid friend

   C.describe an example of human error        D.prove the GPS system is only garbage

73.What is the disadvantage of small screens in GPS equipment according to the text?

   A.They make drivers tired easily.]            B.They are harmful to eyes.

   C.They just provide the next turn.            D.They often break down suddenly.

74.With which of the following statements would Barry Brown most likely agree?

   A.GPS units are to blame for most GPS service failures.

   B.Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.

   C.Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.

   D.We should introduce higher standards for the driving license.

75.What would be the best title for the text?

   A.GPS equipment in driving : to be deserted or improved?

   B.Driving with GPS can be difficult         

   C.Driving without GPS should be much more convenient

   D.Driving errors can be caused by small screens.
