9．A dog can't speak words，but it can"talk"．It has feelings just as you do．At times it may feel angry or afraid．Watch a dog closely．You can see what it is trying to tell you．When you are afraid，you may look down shyly．A fearful dog looks away from you．It may run away too．When you are angry with people，you stare at them and press your lips together．An angry dog also stares．Sometimes the hair along its back stands up．
Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn't？Dogs can feel guilty，too．At times when I come home，my dog gives me a guilty look．Then I know he's done something wrong．
Dogs need love and attention．Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time．Some dogs even snap（撕咬） if they don't get enough attention．
You may have a dog or you may know a dog．Treat it well if you want to have fun with it．Play with it．Take it for a walk．Don't order it round too much．Try not to punish it one time and not the next for doing the same thing．Always remember，a dog has needs and feelings just as you do．Talk to a dog，it'll talk to you，too．

7．

A．A tool to analyze tourism competitiveness
B．Opportunities from the potential markets
C．A significant contribution to economy
D．Distance and policy obstacles
E．Opportunities in existence with challenges
F．Natural and cultural draw card

76．C
Tourism is considered as one of the fastest growing industries in Australia，which contributes significantly to the Australian economy．According to ATC （September 1998），4.22million visitors came to Australia in the year ending June，1998．The main visitors are from Japan，New Zealand and United Kingdom．This paper attempts to analyze whether Australia has the ability to compete successfully with other countries as it enters the new millennium．The analysis will be used as the tool to analyze Australian tourism competitiveness．
77．F
The most obvious strength of Australia is the diversity of natural and manmade attractions．Australia has hundreds of national parks，many of which are world heritage listed．Moreover，there are many unique plants and wildlife found nowhere else on earth．Conde Nast Traveller magazine has recently ranked Australia as the best desirable destination for travelers in 1998，with Sydney being chosen as the best city in the world．Another strength of Australia is the friendliness and easygoing attitude of Australian people，which is world-famous．In addition，the mix of Australian population is truly multicultural．This cultural diversity reflects in the diversity of art，entertainment，and cuisine found in Australia．Apart from the great mix of culture，Aboriginal culture is also another draw card for Australia．The recent survey found that 80% of European visitors want to see and experience Aboriginal culture when they come to Australia．
78．D
One of Australia's inherent weaknesses is its geographical isolation．This means Australia can not position itself as a mass tourism market．However，Australian Tourist Commission attempts to change the perception of distance barrier by promoting Australia as the destination that"takes only as long to get to as a flight between West coast United States and Europe"．Restrictive visa policy is another weakness．Australia's visa policy is against international trend towards more freedom of international travel．In addition，visa fee of $ 50has been implemented upon the visitors from Asian countries．Visa regulation should be relaxed，at least to allow free entry for citizens of low risk countries，those which have low visa rejection rates and low overstay rates．
79．B
There are several new emerging markets，which represent a promising opportunity for Australia．These new markets are China，India，Philippines，and South America．China，in particular，is Australia's most promising market because Australia has recently been awarded official tourism destination status by the Chinese government．In only one year，the number of Chinese tourists has already become the sixth largest market for Australia，with the growth of 25%．Another opportunity is from backpackers market，which is becoming more important over time．In addition，they tend to stay longer than most average tourists．According to Office of National Tourismaverage backpackers stay 72nights in the country．In the year ended March 1997，255，700international backpackers visited Australia．
80．E
According to the SWOT analysis，Australia has capability to compete in the international tourism market for the new millennium．It is apparent that there are many strengths and opportunities ahead to make sure that Australia can secure its competitive position．However，it is important to also recognize that there are some inherent weaknesses and possible threats that could have the impact on Australia's competitiveness．These issues need to be dealt with so that the overall competitiveness of Australia will be enhanced．Furthermore，to be able to compete in the long run，it is important to make sure that there is a balance between tourism development and environmental protection．It is the beautiful natural environment which draws visitors to Australia in the first place．

6．One animal which has died out was once a kind of bird in large numbers in North America：the passenger pigeon．The passenger pigeon bred（繁殖）in the eastern part of the U．S．and Canada and often migrated（迁徙） to the southern U．S．during the winter months．The bird's name didn't come from the migrations but from its movements in search of food．The passenger pigeons were social birds，traveling in amazingly large numbers from millions to one or two billion．Passing overhead，a large group of birds could darken the sky like storm clouds for a period of hours．
A hundred or more pairs of pigeons often nested in the same tree，each female laying a single egg．The birds lived mainly on wild seeds and nuts，but sometimes many of them would storm down onto a field or a garden and eat everything in sight．
While large numbers of passenger pigeons were recorded in the late nineteenth century，the population decreased rapidly，and the last wild bird was shot in 1904．The sudden disappearance of the bird remains a mystery，but an explanation is found in its habit of nesting and moving in large numbers．Farmers，who considered them pests，found it easy to catch hundreds at a time in nets．Also，as passenger pigeons were tasty game birds，market hunters shot hundreds of thousands on their nesting grounds．By 1900the passenger pigeon was already rare．

21．What made the passenger pigeon unique（独特的）？D
A．Its decreased population
B．Its sudden appearance before a storm
C．Its winter migration habits
D．Its custom of traveling in large groups
22．When did the passenger pigeon disappear completely？A
A．In the early twentieth century
B．In the middle of 1900's
C．In the late nineteenth century
D．In the middle or late 1800's
23．What was the farmers attitude towards the passenger pigeon before it died out？C
A．They protected it．
B．They didn't care about it．
C．They disliked it．
D．They thought highly of it．

5．There is an old Chinese proverb that states"One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade"，and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters．The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing．If close，the relationship can be similar to friendship．However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship．These characteristics include the hierarchy （等级） and unconditional love，which p reclude mothers and daughters from being best friends．
Marina，27years old，says，"I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldn't consider her my best friend．Best friends don't pay for your wedding．Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life！Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20years longer than you．"This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying．
While some adult relationships are still troubled，many find them to be extremely rewarding．This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship．Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers，responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions．Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology，which may bring them even closer together．
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent，even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason．The mother and daughter relationship is still closer than any other．There is not an equal relationship．Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers'emotional well-being．It isn't that they don't care deeply about their mothers．It's just that they shouldn't be burdened with their mother's well-being．
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other．Mothers never stop being mothers，which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness．Mother always"trumps"friends．

B．A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship．
C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends'friendship．
D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother．

3．Reading is to success what water is to fish．Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading．This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something．For instance，lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches．Sometimes the law changes according to people's needs．A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court．A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine．
Reading is very important for all mankind．Everything is relative in this world，especially reading．Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success．Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good．This way your child will develop a passion for reading．
How do you develop a passion for reading？There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading．Let me explain this to you．If you want to learn how to ride a bike，you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned．It works the same way with reading．If you want to boost your reading，take a book and read it all the way through when you finish reading your first book，take another book and do the same．Try to read as much as you can．If you are going out，grab a magazine，a book，an article or something to read．

2．If a sitcom（情景喜剧） that lasts for 10years is considered popular，then surely one that still stirs up emotions after 20must be considered a classic．Friends first aired in the US in 1994，featuring a cast of six young men and women in New York．In the time since，it's become one of the most famous titles in the sitcom genre（流派），aired in over 100countries and regions in the world．
The show is iconic（形象的）among those who grew up in the 1990s because it explores basic yet important themes like friendship，struggling to survive in a big city，and finding independence and identity，all of which are still relevant to young audiences today．
Against the background of the Internet age，IT staff （职员） who were once marginalized（排斥） and laughed at have been brought back to life due to the popularity of hit show The Big Bang Theory，in which four talents lacking normal social skills make an attempt at living on a college campus．
At the same time，Gossip girl，describing a young cast of New Yorkers born with silver spoons in their mouths，show the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience．
The show's fashion and mature（成熟的） subject matter allowed it to draw the interest of both teenagers and adults．

1．Nowadays，more and more people are unable to sleep due to various of reasons．
What will you do if you have trouble going to sleep？Try a glass of warm milk，still no luck？Try counting sheep，"one，two，three…"It is late but you are still awake．Are you supposed to take a sleeping pill？No，because if you take it，you will probably depend on the drugs．So you lie awake all night hoping that the new workday will arrive soon．
A new study has found that you might fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer if you try"cerebral hypothermia．"No，cerebral hypothermia is not a complex medical process．It just means cooling down your brain．Eric Nofzinger and Daniel Buysse of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School led the study．They examined 12people who had insomnia．Twelve others had no sleep problems．Each of them wore a soft plastic cap on their heads at bed time，which had tubes （管子） inside filled with water．
The first two nights of testing，the patients wore no water caps．During the next two nights，the caps were worn，but the water was not cooled．Then the researchers cooled the water a little for two nights．On the final two nights of the study，the temperature of the water was made much cooler．
The researchers found that the water caps did not help the insomnia patients until the temperature was about 14℃．Most of the patients fell asleep faster and slept better when the coolest water was moving around their heads．
Dr．Nofzinger and Dr．Buysse noted that this was only the beginning of the brain temperature study．But they believe they have discovered something important that needs more research．They presented their test results in June at a meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies in Minneapolis，Minnesota．

20．Special Public Budget
Graffiti （涂鸦） Vandalism （故意破坏公物的行为）in Adelaide costs the public purse more than two million dollars a year，which （33）has been revealed（reveal）．Ratepayers and taxpayers foot the bill for continual cleanups of graffiti from metropolitan bus shelters，public buildings and reserves，TransAdelaide alone spends about one million dollars a year （34）removing（remove） graffiti from buses and trains．And Adelaide's 27metropolitan councils expect to spend at least one million dollars this financial year on graffiti clean-ups．
However，costs would be hundreds of thousands of dollars higher （35）If councils did not rely on volunteers or criminals serving community service orders to do the work．Glenelg Council，for example，has a Correctional Services Department team which removes graffiti from the foreshore area at least once a week．Other councils，（36）like Elizabeth，Noarlunga and Payneham，have employed special anti-graffiti officers．Salisbury is among those councils （37）which call on a data bank of volunteers to immediately paint out graffiti"tags"．
Despite the"tagging"of the War Memorial on North Terrace （38）followed （follow） by the public outcry 18months ago，several councils have reported a significant increase in graffiti attacks．
"We have budgeted 53，200 for clean-ups this year，but we will go over that．Each year the budget goes up by 15 or 20 per cent，"an Elizabeth City Council spokesman said yesterday，"It really is （39）anenormous social problem．"
A spokesman for Stirling Council said his council could easily spend 20，000 a year on graffiti，but could not afford 6，000 for the most offensive or obvious work．"It's not a matter of how much graffiti you have，（40）buthow much you can afford to clean up，"he said．
