5．I had been called to examine a ten-year-old dog （61）named （name） Belker．I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer．I told the family I couldn't do anything．
Shane，a six-year-old in the family，seemed so calm，petting the old dog （62）for the last time．I wondered if he understood what was（63）going （go） on．Within a few minutes，Belker slipped peacefully away．
The little boy seemed to accept the fact without any difficulty（64）or confusion．We sat together for a while after（65）Belker's （Belker） death，wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal （66）lives （life） are shorter than human lives．
Shane，who had been listening quietly，said，"I know why．"
We all turned to him．What came out of his mouth next surprised me （67）greatly （great）．I'd never heard a（68）more （much） comforting explanation．It has changed the way I try and live．
"People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life-like loving everybody all the time and （69）being （be） nice，right？"The six-year-old continued，"Well，dogs already know（70）how to do that，so they don't have to stay as long．"

4．Xie Lei（65）boarded （board） a plane for London six months ago to complete a business qualification．She is now halfway through the （66）preparation （prepare） year．At the（67）beginning （begin），she had to learn almost everything again．She lives with （68）ahost family，（69）which gives her the opportunity to learn more about everyday life and customs in her new country．She wrote her first essay to her tutor，（70）but she only got an E．Now she has got used to the life and she feels much more （71）at home and is going to join a few university （72）clubs （club）in order to have a balance between study and a （73）social （socialist） life．We wish Xie Lei all the （74）best （good） in her new enterprise．

3．Some parents of elementary school students in America are receiving letters about their children's weight．If a child is found to have a weight problem，his parents will get a letter from the school informing them that their child could be overweight．
And what do students call these notes？"Fat letters．"
Kids already have to put up with being frightened or hurt by other kids at school．Now they also have to protect themselves from insults from the adults who work in those schools？
Don't they think that parents know whether their children are overweight？Do we really want to encourage a trend we already see：children going on diets？According to a study by Duke University，more than 40% of 9-and 10-year-old girls have gone on a diet．
In Massachusetts，state lawmakers are considering a bill that bans school from collecting student's weight information．
Many public school educators actually consider themselves to be more enlightened（开明的） than the rest of us．That's why they have spent so much time insisting that we must not label children over their academic performances．They had a point．Schools have been putting labels on students since before the invention of blackboards．Students who might have once been labeled"lazy"simply because"uninterested．"Immigrant students who were once considered"limited English proficient（熟练的）"became"English learners．"
My wife is a former teacher．She works with students who have difficulty in reading and spelling．The kinds of students she helps were once said to have a"learning disability．"We don't say that anymore．Today，acknowledging that human beings process information in a variety of ways，we say that these kids have a"learning difference．"
There you go．Academically，the enlightened view nowadays is that all students are different，that their brains are all wired in unique ways，and that it's wrong to try to assess them with a one-size-fits-all standard to determine who is intelligent and who isn't．It is agreed that children's brains come in all shapes and sizes．
So why not be really enlightened and learn to think the same way about children's bodies？

She stared at me for a few seconds （66）andhanded back the money．Quite confused，I asked："Why not？Isn't that（67）whatyou want？""I am not a beggar，"she said （68）seriously （serious），word by word．
Instantly，I felt so sorry．I had intended to help her，completely misunderstanding her．Thus I hurt her．What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her （69）the emptied can．This time，she gave me a smile（70）with satisfaction and gratitude in her eyes．The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man．I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson．

16．Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong （216）iimpression．Others try to （217）cconvey certain emotions．Poets use different forms of poetry to express themselves．For example，the language of nursery rhymes is （218）concrete（实在的） but imaginative，and they delight small children because they have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition．And list poems have a（219）flexible（灵活变化的） line length and repeated phrases which give both a （220）pattern（模式） and a rhythm to the poem．Another simple form of poem is the Cinquain，which is （221）made up of（由…组成） five lines and can express strong feelings in just a few words．And of course there are Tang poems from China which you may enjoy（222）in particular（特别）．With so many different forms of poetry to choose from，students may （223）eeventually（最终） want to write poems of their own．
