Nowadays more and more people who lives in cities like to keep dogs as pets．Some of my friend believe people can get comfort and develop their patient and love by keeping dogs as pets．Personally，I do not really have interest to dogs，and sometimes I do hate some dog owners．They can be so annoyed．They talk about their dogs as if they are actually their little babies．Some dogs make too much noise at night，that makes it hard for people living nearby fall asleep．Besides，not all dog owners think of others while they are walking their dogs．As really annoys me，though，is the way they let their dogs get out of the control．

Some tricks have been used by shopkeepers for ages．（37）D For example，if an item is US＄11.99instead of US＄12.00，you'll feel like you're spending less money．
Sellers sometimes reduce items by a certain amount．（38）G That means that even with the discount，you may still pay more than the original price．
Shopkeepers clearly understand what makes you want to buy their products．But with a little preparation，you can avoid being cheated．
Tips for shoppers

11．You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella．But designer Mikhail Belvaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet． That's why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella．
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia．"Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain．I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy（伞蓬）built into a street lamp，"he said．
The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy．It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand．Sensors（传感器）then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians（行人） shelter whenever it starts raining．
In addition to the rain sensor，there's also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone's using the Lampbrella．After three minutes of not being used，the canopy is closed．
According to the designer，the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed，so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians．Besides，it would be grounded（埋地线） to protect from possible lightning strike．Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people．Being installed（安装） at 2meters off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians．
While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production，Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department，and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter．
32．What's the implied meaning of the underlined sentence？B
A．You'd better check the weather forest before going out．
B．You may get sheltered from rain even if you don't have an umbrella．
C．Weather forecast is not always reliable．
D．You'd better take an umbrella if you fail to check the weather forest．
33．Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works？C
A．motor→canopy→sensors
B．motor→sensors→canopy
C．sensors→motor→canopy
D．canopy→motor→sensors
34．What does paragraph 5mainly tell us about the Lampbrella？A
A．Its safety．
B．Its appearance．
C．Its installation．
D．Its moving speed．
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？D
A．The designer will open a company to promote his product．
B．The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production．
C．The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow．
D．The designer is confident that his creation is practical．

10．Maddie Messe，13，has always loved Temple Run，a mobile game that sends her racing through swamps （沼泽） and forests to outrun a pack of crazed monkeys．What she didn't love was being forced to play as a boy-unless she was willing to buy a female version．"I felt like l was being cheated or misrepresented，"Maddie explains．"Girls are just as capable （有能力的） of running away from monkeys as boys are．"
So last winter，Maddie researched 50of the most popular iPhone games．What she found was infuriating：90percent offered free male characters，but only 15percent let you play as a female for free．
Armed with those statistics，Maddie drafted a spirited article and fired it off to several major newspapers．The Washington Post agreed to run the piece，which attracted millions of readers around the globe-including the makers of Temple Run!"We realized she had a point，"says Natalia Luckyanova，the game's co-creator．"It was the kick in the pants we needed to say，‘We should fix it．'So we did．"
Now you can play Temple Run with a female character for free，but Maddie hopes her campaign inspires something deeper．"If you don't see characters that look like you on TV or in movies or games，speak up!Just do your research first，"says Maddie．"One well-supported argument is much more effective than a million angry complaints．"

24．What did Maddie hate about Temple Run？B
A．It had no female versions．
B．It charged for female versions．
C．Its female versions were too expensive．
D．Its female versions were not good enough．

9．Music is particularly popular in the medical profession，especially among surgeons（外科医生）．A recent survey shows that 90% of surgeons in the UK put music on the sound system in the theatreduring operations．Plastic surgeons（整形外科医生）play the most music； it appears that ear，nose，and throat specialists the least．
But it isn't only in surgeries（外科手术） where music is popular．In another recent survey，one-third of the 1，613people said they listen to music while working．And 79% of them said that humming（哼歌）along improves their job satisfaction or productivity．
Is listening to music at work a good idea？Yes，say the experts．Many surgeons say that music helps to create a"calm atmosphere"，and a third of them added that it avoids getting bored!Also，listening to music raises the levels of a brain chemical that can help people focus．Office workers say it improves job satisfaction．Several studies suggest that it's also good for hospital patients．Those listening to music through headphones during surgery require less anesthetic（麻醉剂），up to 50% less in some cases，and recover more quickly afterwards．"Sure，music reduces anxiety before surgery，"says Zeev Kain，an anesthetist at Yale University．
So，what type of music should we be listening to？Surgeons from the previous survey preferred rock，pop music and classical．And hip-hop is popular too．However，whatever the kind，it appears that self-selected music is the best choice．Pennsylvania State University research showed that when people chose their own music there was more stress reduction（下降）．And other researchers found that when listening to self-selected music，surgeons did the maths faster and more accurately （精确）than when they were listening to music chosen for them．

8．Eat like a king in the morning，a prince at noon，and a peasant at night．This saying is all about the importance of breakfast．And now scientists can tell us just why it's so important．According to a study carried out at Imperial College London，UK，skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch，but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods．
The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex （眶额皮层），which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat．It is used for identifying the taste of food，especially when skipping breakfast．It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you're on an empty stomach．
Scientists did an experiment on this．Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London，scanned （扫描） the brains of 21men and women，around the age of 25．On the first day，these people skipped breakfast before the scans．On the second day，they had cereal （谷物），bread and jam as breakfast．After the scan on both days，they had their lunch．
When the volunteers had skipped breakfast，they ate around 20percent more at lunch，compared with days when they had eaten breakfast．Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods．"We believe that bit identifies the value of foods-how pleasant，how delicious something is，"Goldstone told The Guardian．
28．From Paragraph 1，we learn thatA．
A．scientists found out why eating breakfast is important
B．it's easy to lose weight without breakfast
C．there's no need to have good food for supper
D．eating breakfast makes your brain smarter

A．Breakfast still most important
B．Three meals a day
C．Experiments on breakfast
D．Researches on lunch．

7．In early autumn I applied for admission to college．I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University，but my mother fought strongly against it．When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell，she tore it up．
"You can't say it's not a great university，just because Papa went there．"
"That's not it at all．And it is a top university．"She was still holding the pieces in her hand．"But we can't afford to send you to college．"
"I wouldn't dream of asking you for money．Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa？Things aren't that bad，are they？"
"No，"she said．"I don't expect you to help support us．"
Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop，His chief customers were his old college friends．To get new customers，my mother had to help．She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women，so that she could get to know more people．Whether those people would turn into customers was another question．I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment （投资） could show returns．What's more，they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful；otherwise，they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly．
I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives，and the determination not to repeat their mistakes．I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted．After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）．My father could hardly contain his pride in me，and my mother eventually gave in before my success．
