1．My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year．Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month．We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits．Our work was strictly done at the pet owner's home．It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our business to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves．
One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave．We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules．He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue．The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving．
Two days later I appeared at the house，alone．I came up to Hercules and said hello happily．I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made．Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside．I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners as usual．After the light and"click"sound went off，Hercules rushed at me．I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood．I ran out and did the only thing-calling my husband．
Then I went to neighbors for help．My husband arrived after ten minutes．The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen（圈）．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital．
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital．The nurses quickly moved me to a room．I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，"Am I going to die？"He replied，"Finally．"

20．The more books you read，the better your life will be．If you don't believe me，please consider these five reasons to read more books．
•You will make your brain power better．
This shouldn't come as a shock，but studies suggest reading makes you smart．Unlike watching television，which requires no thought process，reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp．
•You will increase your chances of success．
The more books you read，the more knowledge you will have，the more ways and resources your brain will store，the more likely you will succeed．
•You will have things to talk about at parties．
Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence，"Did you know …？"more often，making it easier to start conversations with strangers．
•You will enlarge your vocabulary．
The more words you're able to use，the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings．I couldn't imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn't actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary，because using the same few words to express myself would get boring．
•You will enjoy a good night's sleep．
Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night's sleep，if you do so late at night．You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed，and replace that with a good book，which is a much better choice．
The books can change your life．I firmly believe that if it wasn't for books，I wouldn't have achieved in my life； nor would I have the knowledge，imagination or creativity．I hope these reasons to read more books encourage you to unlock your power of reading．

The more books you read，the better your life will be．

19．You can be proud of yourselves，even if you can only make one or two of these green changes．The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases，which are closely connected to the big problem of global-warming （全球变暖）．
WAY 1：Bring your own cup to Starbucks．You'll get a 10-cent discount，and it's one less paper cup to end up in a dustbin．The store won't create more waste when they throw away a cup．
WAY 2：Turn off your computer．When in standby mode，your PC is still using energy．Turning off a monitor （显示器） for 40hours a week may only save $ 5a month，but it reduces CO₂by 750pounds．
WAY 3：Reuse plastic bags．Instead of throwing away 100billion plastic bags a year，try and get a second，third，or tenth use out of them．Better yet，next time you shop，try a reusable bag．The amount of oil it would take to make just 14plastic bags would run your car for one mile．
WAY 4：Use recycled paper in the bathroom．Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests．If every family replaced（替换）one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one，424，000trees would still be standing．
WAY 5：Plant a tree．Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing．Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5，000pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year．

18．People usually check whether their keys，wallets and phones are with them before going out．But many people in China now have one （46）more important thing to take，a breathing mask．They hope that it can protect them from （47）polluted air．

Poor air is bad for people's health，（52）especially for children and the elderly．A report from Beijing Children's Hospital shows that from Jan 5to 11，half of the （53）patients in the internal medicine department （内科门诊） are there for breathing problems．

17．Every day we use money to buy what we want．But have you ever really noticed the bill in your hand？There are different pictures on both sides of banknotes（纸币） and interesting stories behind them．
Most banknotes have famous people on the front，such as a country's leader or a great scientist，while on the back of the paper note there are usually some well-known scenes or national buildings．
The latest editions of Chinese banknotes use the picture of Mao Zedong，founding father of People's Republic of China，on the front of all yuan bills．However，the backs of the bills are different．The Great Hall of the People，on the 100-yuan note，is a landmark（地标） in Beijing．Important meetings are always held there．The Lijiang River in Guilin，on the 20-yuan note，is one of the most beautiful scenes in the world．

15．

Sweaty palms，shaking hands and a racing heart!This is what many students experience when they take a big test．When anxiety（焦虑）kicks in，students can completely lose concentration，leading to pool scores．But is there any solution to such stress？
The key to reducing test anxiety is writing．According to a recent report in the journal Science，taking a few minutes before an exam to write about all those fears could help students perform better．
The study was conducted by Professor Sian L．Beilock，from the University of Chicago，and his graduate student Gcrardo Ramirez．
First，the researchers asked 20college students to take a maths test to get a base-lined score．Next，they told the students that they could get a monetary award if they got a good score，and that they were being videotaped．
Before beginning the main test，the researchers asked one group of students to spend 10minutes writing down their anxieties about the test，while the other group sat quietly．Both groups then took the same exam．
The researchers found that students who sat quietly did 12% worse than they had on the pre-test，and the ones who wrote about their anxieties improved their scores by 5%．
Writing enables students to feel refreshed when facing challenging questions on the examination．However，experts also warn that such a change will not cause students to become any smarter．It can only make them become more relaxed and focused．

69．According to the writer，when people feel anxious，they mayD．
A．drink a lot of water
B．have a heart attack
C．kick their feet
D．lose concentration
70．The best way to reduce test anxiety isB．
A．to sit quietly
B．to write about your fears
C．to cool your palms
D．to study hard
71．The study was conducted byC．
A．Professor Sian L．Beilock alone
B．Professor Sian L．Beilock and his wife
C．Professor Sian L．Beilock and his graduate student
D．Professor Sian L．Beilock and his teammate
72．From the experiment，we learn thatB．
A．the two student groups took different tests
B．they could earn money if they did well
C．they needed to finish the test within 10minutes
D．they were asked to relax before the test
73．Students who sat quietly before the testD than they had on the pre-test．
A．did 5% better
B．did 12% better
C．did 5% worse
D．did 12% worse
74．The result of the research has proved that______．
A．writing before a test can make you smarter
B．you can become relaxed by writing before a test
C．the two student groups both did well in the exam
D．students dislike challenging questions on the examination．

14．Decisions，decisions!Our lives are full of them，from the small ones to the life-changing．The right to choose is central to everyone．Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret．Can science help？
Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions．Luckily，what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices．Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind．
Consider your emotions．You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision-making，but in fact they are a part of it．Whenever you make up your mind，your brain's emotional centre is active．University of Southern California scientist，Antonio Damasia，has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains，and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat．Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice，which we use to help the present decision-making．
However，making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result．Take anger for example．A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices．It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking．
All emotions affect our thinking and motivation，so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence．Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices．The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer，and ended up making the best choices．In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world．

52．What does the underlined word"central"mean？C
A．in the middle．B．easy to reach．C．important．D．having power
53．Damasia's study suggests thatD．
A．emotions are the enemy of decision-making
B．our brain has nothing to do with decision-making
C．people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds
D．our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions
54．According to the text，what may help us make better decisions？D
A．To think about happy times．B．To make many decisions at a time．
C．To stop feeling regretful about the past．
D．To learn about the process of decision-making．
55．Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered？B
A．They often forget their past choices．
B．They make decisions without much thinking．
C．They tend to save time when shopping．
D．They are too angry to bargain．
