Like human beings, dogs may catch cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏）, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.

A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power（免疫力）to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.

You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医）or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.

Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.

Increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth（肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.

Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal（鼻的）passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.

These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）.

The EIAA questioned 15,000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobiles phones.

Everybody is happy as his pay rises．Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one．Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross．Such behavior is regarded as "all too human", with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness．But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well．

The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys．They look smart． They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily．Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of "goods and services" than males．

Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan's study．The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens （奖券） for food．Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber．However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different．

In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods （and much preferable to cucumbers）．So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber．And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber．Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room （without an actual monkey to eat it） was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey．

The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses．In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living．Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated．Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone．Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group．However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question．

1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world．

B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated．

C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other．

D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes; for grapes are more attractive．

2.Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are __ _．

A. more likely to weigh what they get

B. attentive to researchers’ instructions

C. nice in both appearance and behaviors

D. more ready to help others than their male companions

3.Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Human beings' feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys．

B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others．

C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated．

D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago．

4.What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah's study?

A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses．

B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do．

C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment．

D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild．

18．A poor shepherd，whose name was Tony Barbara，lived in Scotland．It was his business to take care of the sheep which belonged to a rich landholder（地主）．Sometimes he had several hundreds of lambs to look after．He drove these lambs to the pastures（牧场） on the hills and watched them day after day．

One dark night Tony Barbara was on the hill with a flock of seven hundred lambs．Hugo was with him．Suddenly a storm came up．The wind blew hard； the rain poured heavily．
The poor lambs were frightened．The shepherd and his dog could not keep them together．Some of them ran towards the east，some towards the west，and some towards the south．
The shepherd soon lost sight of them in the darkness．With his lighted lantern in his hand，he went up and down the rough hills calling for his lambs．
Two or three other shepherds joined him in the search．All night long they looked for the lambs．At last Tony Barbara said，"It's of no use； all we can do is go home and tell the master that we have lost his whole flock（群）．"
They had walked a mile or two towards home，when they came to the edge of a narrow and deep valley．They looked down，and at the bottom they saw some lambs huddling（挤作一团） together among the rocks．And there was Hugo standing guard over them．They counted them and were surprised to find that not one lamb of the great flock of seven hundred was missing．
