【题目】 Apollo, a 5monthold pit bull puppy(比特犬), is getting extra hugs today, after saving his owner's girlfriend from a terrible attack.
According to the New York Post, 18yearold Maya Fairweather was visiting her boyfriend, Carlos Guzman, at his apartment in the Red Hook neighborhood in Brooklyn New York, on Monday night. Around 10 pm, the teen decided to take Guzman's puppy, Apollo, for a walk.
Once she reached a nearby Park, Fairweather let the pit bull off his rope so he could run around on the grass. Meanwhile, she kept a close watch on him, listening to music through her headphones. “I felt someone pulling my headphones,” she told the New York Post. “I thought it was my boyfriend joking me, so I turned around and smiled—but it wasn't my boyfriend.”
Instead it was an unfamiliar man, who started attacking Fairweather, pushed her to the ground and tried to control her arms. After struggling with the attacker for a few moments, the girl was saved by her protective puppy. Apollo raced to the scene and bit the attacker's leg.
The puppy bit down so hard that the stranger was forced to take his attention off Fairweather to try to shake the dog off. The girl used the moment of distraction(分散注意力)to run across the street and escape.
Finally, Apollo set the attacker free, who ran away. “He was protective,” Fairweather said about the dog's heroic deed. “I think it would have been a lot worse. I wouldn't have been so lucky.”
After that, Fairweather, who was not harmed during the attack, returned to Guzman's apartment with Apollo. Guzman's sister took Fairweather to a local police station to report the attack. The police are now searching for the man.
Fairweather is really grateful for the role Apollo played in her escape, but is surprised that the dog came to her rescue. “He is a sweet dog. I never thought he would bite anyone. He never bit anyone before. He's usually very friendly and just jumps on everyone,” she said.

【题目】 Xiao Li, a college student born after 1995, used to wash her hair every two days. But as the weather has got colder, she has become lazier. She bought a mist spray(免洗喷雾), which allows her to wash her hair less often.
She is not the only you Chinese who spends money because she's lazy According to a report in December by Taobao on Chinas lazy economy(经济), Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan on products and services online in 2018. The post-1995(95后)generation was the laziest as its consumption(消费)increased by 82 percent, compared with that in 2017.
The so-called lazy economy refers to a new type of consumption of products and services which are designed to save time and labour.
According to the report, many people of the post-1995 generation buy high-tech electronic devices such as floor mopping robots and automatic window cleaners, which save the trouble of doing housework. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery services are also popular among people born after 1995.
Young people are willing to spend money on such products so that they can enjoy their spare time after a busy and stressful day at work or school. Besides, they can also focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people tend to use their spare time more freely.
While the lazy economy might be convenient for young people, it might also create problems. The lazy economy is expressed in things like people buying food or other things without leaving their living places. As a result, they stay in their houses all day long, playing on computers and phones. This situation could lead to young people becoming less sociable and even developing problems of communicating with others. Young people should pay more attention to it.
The lazy economy is a choice of lifestyle. While the lazy economy saves time and labour, the saved time should be used to do valuable things.
