It’s a too long story — 17 months to be exact — with an ending that’s short and sweet. Ruthie has, finally and happily, been reunited with her family.

The story goes back to October, 2005. Ruthie, 8 months old, was sitting on the back seat of the family car when her owner walked hurriedly into a Long Island store. When Nancy Noel returned a few minutes later, Ruthie was nowhere in sight.

Nancy Noel and her husband, Lincoln Werden, got in touch with Nassau County police, put up flyers (小传单) around their Manhasset neighborhood. But no sightings of Ruthie were reported. Until last week, that is, someone sent Ruthie to a Manhattan shelter after finding her walking slowly around the Bronx — 25 miles from where she was taken on that fateful October day.

And then, shelter workers searched Ruthie for a possible microchip (微芯片) — she had one fixed under her skin. It showed her family’s name and address. Ruthie was immediately reunited with Nancy Noel and her daughter, Sara Werden.

“We never thought we would see her again,” said Sara Werden. “We were just amazed.”

She’s no longer the tiny pup they last saw. In fact, Ruthie gained (增加) 10 pounds during her months away from home. She’s on a diet now, and has already lost one and a half pounds. Ruthie also has a new friend to play with. The family had got another dog, named Holly, after losing the hope of ever finding their beloved Ruthie.

1.According to the passage, when did Ruthie get together with her family?

A. In October 2005. B. In March 2006.

C. In May 2007. D. In March 2007.

2.According to the passage, Ruthie should be _____.

A. a pet dog that Nancy Noel raised

B. one of Nancy Noel’s daughters

C. one of Holly’s sisters

D. a police working for Nancy Noel

3.Which of the following shows the right time order according to the passage?

a. Ruthie was sent to a shelter.

b. Ruthie stayed outside a Long Island store.

c. Ruthie was fixed a microchip.

d. Ruthie reunited with her family.

e. Shelter workers found Ruthie’s address.

4.Which of the following can be inferred according to the passage?

It’s well-known that meditation (冥想) has many benefits, but do you know how to practice it for a beginner?

Set a proper scene

Find a space for meditation．It should be private and quiet．Make sure the temperature is comfortable．Sit on a cushion (垫子) if the floor is uncomfortable．You may play soft music if you like.

Take a moment to loosen up．Remember that the goal of meditation is to relax．Loosen your clothing, remove your shoes and have a good stretch．Do your best to ease any muscle tension that might keep you from achieving relaxation．Make an effort to relax your facial muscles．

Focus on your breath

Sit down in the space you’ve prepareD． Close your eyes and breathe．Each time you breathe in, count “one”．Each time you breathe out, count “one”．The idea is to strengthen being in the moment — the last breath doesn’t matter, and the next one doesn’t matter; only this one matters．

Feel your breath inflate (胀大) your lungs and push on your diaphragm (隔膜)．Feel how sweet it is to inhale the fresh air．As you do this, your body will gradually begin to relax and all of your attention will be centered within your minD．

Return to real life

Once you feel fully centered in your mind, allow yourself to gradually drift back to real life．Move your fingers and toes and slowly wake your body up．Open your eyes and remain there for a few minutes until your senses come back, and then slowly stand up．

Even if you can’t make it fully into your mind, you still get some benefits from it．If you want to feel better, you just need to practice．Set about 10 minutes around the same time every day and repeat this exercise.

Time fly like an arrow. I'm already in the first half of Senior Grade 3 before I realized it. It is only a little more than six months before I graduate middle school. At the present, I'm busy review my lessons in order to take the College Entrance Examination.

I hope to go to Beijing University, that is one of the best universities not only in China but also in the world. I'll try my best turn my dream into reality. Most of my classmates are also studying very hardly to realize our dreams. I do believe everyone will be able to enter a very good university and college.

Should universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way universities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs.

Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So she’s carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrow’s Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.

The state governor added that this new educational approach doesn’t just benefit students and companies, but also improves the state economy. “We’ve been able to attract new companies to our state because of what we’re doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the world’s biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.”

Other group members were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we don’t do it, nobody else will.”

“And if nobody does that research, we’ll pay the price in health care bills,” argued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the last forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.”

James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose.

Eli Broad, founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.”

1.Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company?

A. University graduates in the state are well trained.

B. There’s much support from the local government.

C. Many students in the state hope to be workers.

D. The state economy has been growing rapidly.

2.What is Gutmann’s attitude toward Fallin’s program?

A. Curious. B. Tolerant.

C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.

3.Vagelos mentioned coronary heart disease in order to show _____.

A. the achievements of Merck & Co., Inc

B. the difficulty of developing new drugs

C. the heavy burden of health care costs

D. the importance of basic research

4.Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. Universities or colleges?

B. Workers or researchers?

C. Basic or further research?

D. Education or development?
