4．He is the man who for many people has been a role model．Now There is a special day when you can express your thanks and let him know （66）howimportant he is to you．Father's Day（67）falls（fall） on the third Sunday of June．The idea of Father's Day came from （68）anAmerican woman called Sonora Smart Dodd in 1909．Dodd wanted a special day （69）to honor（honor） her father．He raised six children by（70）himselfafter his wife died．Dodd thought there needed to be a day to honor loving dads．
The first Father's Day （71）was celebrated（celebrate） on June 19，1910．In 1924，US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a （72）national（nation） Father's Day．Finally，in 1966，President Lyndon Johnson declared the third Sunday of June （73）as Father's Day．
Here are some ways to show your love and respect：
Send him a greeting card．Fathers prefer cards（74）that/which are not too emotional（表现强烈情感的）．So choose one that will make him laugh．If he has a computer，cover his desktop（桌面）（75）with words like"I love you Dad"．A small present，such as a framed photo of your family，can make him feel like a king．

3．Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years，but Dr Jean-Loup Rault，an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia，believes new companions are coming：robot pets．
"Technology is moving very fast，"Rault told ABC News，"The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet，and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot．"
This may not sit well with pet lovers．After all，who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy？But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it："You don't have to feed it，you don't have to walk it，it won't make a mess in your house，and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty．"The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets，short on space，or fearful of real animals．
It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones．But studies do suggest that we can bond（建立关系） with these smart machines．People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories．It's the same with robots．When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014，owners in Japan held funerals．
As an animal welfare researcher，Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals．"If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food，water or exercises，perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings，"he said．
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past，as Rault predicts？For those who grew up with living and breathing pets，the mechanical kind might not do．But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology，a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream．

2．There was a wonder-filled little girl who was hurt so badly that when she entered adult life，she thought she was so bad that others just couldn't be nice to her．
But she had a lot of curiosity，which kept her going．She sought many wise people to help her understand why she was so bad that her mother hurt her and why she was unable to be better so that men wouldn't hurt her．
She was on a journey that she thought was to help her be"better"．She carried a big bag with her everywhere she went．Inside it were all the hurts she had experienced．Because she was so eager to please those who offered their wisdom，she willingly agreed with what they said about forgiving．But she held that bag of hurts tightly．
After 50years of carrying that bag around and showing it to all she met as if it were proof that she was a good person，she decided to open it up and just see what happened．When she looked inside it was filled with bits of paper．At one time they had words on them，detailing the hurts．But time had faded （使褪色） the words and all that was left was some useless paper．She had been struggling to carry this bag that held nothing but the image of something that once was．
She saw the absurdity of carrying that bag around．It made her laugh．By letting go of the paper and having pity for those that hurt her，this little girl was able to become a woman with beautiful hair．The woman looked in the mirror and said，"I am lovable．"Although it took many years，she was finally open to bringing love and respect into her life．

20．We always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby…Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are．After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with．We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage．
We always tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse（配偶） gets his or her act together，when we get a nice car，and are able to go on a nice vacation and when we retire．The truth is，there's no better time than right now．If not now，when？Our life will always be filled with challenges．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway．
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said，"for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin----real life．But there was always some obstacle in the way，something to be gotten through first，some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．Then life would begin．At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．"This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness．Happiness is the way．So treasure every moment that you have．
And remember that time waits for no one．So stop waiting until you finish school； until you go back to school； until you get married； until you get divorced； until you have kids； until you retire； until you get a new car or home； until spring； until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…
Happiness is a journey，not a destination．So，work like you don't need money，love like you've never been hurt，and dance like no one's watching．
5．Why do we always convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married，have a baby…？B
A．Because happy life is always in the future．
B．Because we don't realize treasuring every moment means happiness．
C．Because no one will be happy until he gets married．
D．Because only if we get to a destination，we can lead a happy life．
6．What does the writer want to tell us？A
A．Time and tide waits for no man，so treasure every moment．
B．Will is power，so do what you want to do．
C．A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed，so do not talk，just do it．
D．So said，so done．So do what you said．
7．According to the text，which of the following is correct？D
A．Life is bound to become better as we expect．
B．You should work because you really need money．
C．You shouldn't dance while others are watching you．
D．You should love as if you had not been hurt．

19．Proverbs are quite common in spoken English．We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter．Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean．Here are a few examples．
1）"Once bitten，twice shy．"If a dog bites me，I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it．This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs．If you have been cheated at a shop，you will not go to the same shop again．
2）"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush．"If I am a hunter，trying to catch birds，it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them．Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future．
3）"Too many cooks spoil the broth （soup）"．When too many people do something，they get in each other's way and do a bad job．
4）"To pour oil on troubled waters"is to try to calm things down．Oil is lighter than water．If a ship is in trouble at sea，another ship may come to help it．The second ship can send small boats to rescue people．However，it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough．
5）"Don't be a dog in a manger（槽）"means"Don't be selfish．"In a stable （马房），the manger is the place where the horse's food is put．Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food．The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it．
6）"He is sitting on the fence"means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it．He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides，perhaps waiting to see which side will win．
7）"He who pays the piper calls the tune．"A piper is a musician．The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play．Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan，he can say how it will be carried out．
8）"You can't get blood out of a stone"means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want．e．g．you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man．
