Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.
  One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack(群)by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的)role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to
pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
  Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
51. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
A. be just part of their nature
  B. worsen in modern society
  C. occur when they go wild
  D. present a threat to the community
52. The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.
  A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
  B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority
  C. provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
  D. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
53. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
  A. essential to solving the dog’s behavior problems
  B. the foundation for dogs to perform tasks
  C. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
  D. an extreme measure in obedience training
54. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
  A. To avoid being punished.
  B. To show their affection for their masters.
  C. To win leadership of the dog pack.
  D. To show their willingness to obey.
55. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
  A. can give the dog more rewards
  B. will enjoy a better family life

YOU CAN HELP!

Everyone was born with his own built-in burglar(窃贼) alarm. It’s called the sense of sight and sound.Unfortunately, many of us go around with the alarm switched off.

We don’t see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.

We don’t notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.

(Weren’t they supposed to be on holiday?)

The police can only do so much to prevent crime. There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town. So they need your help in fighting with the burglars,the vandals(恣意破坏者), and the car thieves.

Not, of course, by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious. It’ll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.

But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community, for instance, you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.

A stranger in someone’s garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police, if, of course, you were on the look-out.

That’s the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes, springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community, anything suspicious being reported to the police.

It’s early days yet, but results so far are very encouraging. The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme. And all due to people like you.

61. The underlined word “them” refers to “______”.

A. criminals          B. the police   C. neighbors   D. strangers

62. The advertisement points out that many people______.

A. are not ready to help the police   

B. are not as watchful as they could be

C. don’t look after their gardens well      

D. don’t tell their neighbors about their holidays

63. One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to______.

A. turn on the alarm system in our home 

B. try to stop criminals from escaping

C. look out for people behaving suspiciously 

D. inform the police if we hear noises upstairs

64. The purpose of the advertisement is to __________in their neighborhood.

A. ask people to join the police force

B. advise people how to protect their homes

C. warn people about the increasing risk of crime

D. encourage people to be on watch for possible crime

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A line of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes marched across the South on Friday, peeling away roofs, overturning cars and killing at least 11 people in Tennessee, officials said.

It was the second wave of violent weather to hit the state in less than a week. Last weekend, tornadoes killed 24 people in the western part of the state and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and buildings.

The storms crossed an area from northern Mississippi to northern Virginia as they moved to the northeast late Friday after developing from a low-pressure system in the central Plains.

The Nashville suburbs were the hardest hit, with at least eight deaths happening northeast of the city. Three more people were killed in a rural area about 65 miles southeast of Nashville.

Tornadoes were also reported in some other places. The storms pulled up trees, knocked down power lines and damaged buildings. What’s worse, phone lines and most businesses were out of service. Hospitals admitted at least 60 people with storm-related injuries and transferred at least nine badly injured patients to Nashville hospitals.

In southern Indiana, the storms damaged some areas with golf ball-sized hail. High winds blew the roof off a country club and overthrew a semitrailer(拖车). As the storms moved farther east, parts of West Virginia were lashed with heavy rain and winds, great damages caused.

The number of tornadoes in the US has jumped through the first part of 2006 compared with the past few years. Through the end of March, an estimated 286 tornadoes had hit the US, compared with an average of 70 for the same three-month period in each of the past three years.

The number of tornado-related deaths was 38 before Friday's storms. The average number of deaths from 2003 to 2005 was 45 a year, the prediction center said.
