     It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
     Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following
words on it "Give my dog half a pound of meat." Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, "Take
this to the butcher, and he's going to give you your lunch today."
     Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The
butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked
to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
     At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he
gave it half a pound of meat once more.
     The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth.
This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as
one of his customers (顾客).
     But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more
surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt
a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat
today?" 
     Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!
1. The little dog went to the butcher's _____ altogether during the two days.
[     ]

A. three times
B. four times
C. five times

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
36. The author is primarily addressing _______.

37. The first paragraph is mainly about _______.
A. the teenagers’ criticism of their parents.

C. the dominance of the parents over their children
D. the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises.
38. Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they ______.
A. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own.
B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste.
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better.

     It is really possible to be bored to death,scientists have found.Researchers say that
people who live a boring life are more likely to die young,and that those who experienced
"high levels" of boredom are at double risk (危险) of dying from heart disease or a stroke
than those who are satisfied with their life.

40 percent more likely to have died by the end of the study than those who did not.

unhealthy habits like drinking,smoking,taking drugs,and getting addicted to the Internet,which

_find_outside_interests_to_keep_off_boredom,rather_than_turn_to_drinking_or_smoking."
     A scientist said those who are bored should try to be happier by thinking more about the
needs of others."From being all me,me,me,they should be thinking-what can I do for my
family,my friends,my colleagues,even my boss?" he said.

     It's easy to see how the sawfish got its name. These frightful creatures can grow to be more
than 6 meters long. Their bodies are flat and winged, like underwater airplanes. And their noses
are shaped like chainsaws.
     Sawfish are food hunters of the sea. When a sawfish is hungry, it waves its sharptoothed snout
(口鼻部) through a group of fish. Then, it lifts its nose and uses its mouth to draw the injured victims.
     Hardy (适应力强的) population of sawfish thrived in warm waters along coastlines around the
world for thousands of years. Over the past 200 years, however, human actions have severely
endangered sawfish. Threats include fishing nets that trap the huge animals, often by mistake.
     Some people collect sawfish's snouts as prizes: One snout recently sold for nearly $1,600 online.
In some Asian cultures, the toothy snouts are used in ceremonies to drive evil and disease away. And
sawfish are also delicious. A growing demand in Asia for the fish's fins for a pricey soup has contributed
to the fish's disappearance. Compared with other fish, sawfish give birth late in life and at slow rates,
which makes it hard for them to recover from overfishing.
     New efforts now aim to restore sawfish population. Beginning next month, an international agreement
will provide protection for all seven of the world's sawfish species. Scientists are hoping that it's not too
late to save the sawfish.
     "Until 1998, this fish had never been formally studied in the United States," says Tonya Wiley of the
Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FIA."We didn't know such basic things as where they live, what
habitat they use, how often they breed, how many young they have- even what age sawfish are when
they begin breeding."
     Through historical studies and field research, scientists have become aware of how much the fish's
numbers have decreased. Today, there may be 90 percent fewer sawfish than there used to be. Wiley
estimates that only 3,000 to 6,000 sawfish remain in US waters.
