4．Most children，even the youngest children，are delighted to be around cats and dogs．But these pets carry plenty of germs and allergens （过敏原），prompting researchers to ask：Are cats and dogs really safe for children？
A study finds that，contrary to many parents'fears，owning cats or dogs does not increase a child's risk of developing allergies，and in fact，may actually protect them．The study's leading author，Dr-Dennis Own by of the Medical College of Georgia，said that even he was"very surprised"by the results．He and his colleagues followed more than 470 children from birth to age 6 or 7，comparing those exposed to cats and dogs during their first year of life to those who were not．
By using skin prick （皮肤针刺） tests for detecting common allergies，the researchers found that，contrary to what many doctors had been taught for years，children who had lived with a pet were not at greater risk．
Even more remarkable，children who had two or more dogs or cats had even great reduction，up to 77%，in risk of allergies．Researchers suggest this protective effect may be the result of early exposure to lots of bacteria that are carried by dogs and cats．Exposing young children to these bacteria helps"exercise"their immune systems early in life so that they're better able to resist allergic diseases later．
And while researchers are not encouraging parents to buy dogs or cats just to reduce a child's allergy risk，they say if a family already has one or more animals，there's no need to get rid of them．

28．Why do the researchers feel"very surprised"by the results of the study？C
A．Because parents are so much worried about their children．
B．Because so many children are playing with cats and dogs．
C．Because the results are contrary to their expectation．

29．Compared with children who have pets，those who haven'tB．
A．will lose the chance to develop immune system
B．may suffer allergic diseases more often
C．will reduce the harm from bacteria
D．can keep doctors away
30．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．the results of the study can make families with pets feel at ease
B．fewer families would like to own cats and dogs
C．keeping pets is a good way to keep children healthy
D．pets are ill-treated by their owners

B．Your pets may be helping your kids．
C．Bacteria do good to your kids．
D．Advantages of owning pets．

3．Unseen Art wants to give the Mona Lisa and other world-famous artworks the 3D treatment so that they can be touched，making them accessible to the blind and visually impaired（受损的）．"There are many people in the world who have heard of classical artworks their whole lives but are unable to see them，"say Marc Dillon，advocate for the project．"Now they can experience them for the first time and create their own impressions and opinions．"
The project is currently crowd-funding（大众筹资） on Indiegogo，offering 3D prints of the Mona Lisa for backers，which can be kept or donated to an organization serving the blind and visually impaired community．The money raised will be used to fund an online platform where the 3D files will be down-loadable for free，making 3D printable art available worldwide，anywhere there is a 3D printer．
The project strikes a personal chord（引起共鸣） with Dillon．"I was born with one arm shorter than the other．All my life，I continually had to prove that I was able to do everything I wanted to，from playing guitar and riding motorcycles to life-guarding and weightlifting．I also had an uncle who worked as a mechanic（技工） and became blind in adulthood．I saw he was able to continue to do almost anything a seeing person could do．"
To test the concept，Dillon took the first 3D print to the Blind Institute of Finland，"They were very excited to touch the Mona Lisa!"says Dillon．In a video for the project，one can see a blind woman experiencing da Vinci's masterpiece through touch．Just like countless others throughout history，she is interested in Mona Lisa's mysterious expression．"It's a little bit…mysterious，"she says happily．"She wasn't exactly a classical beauty！"

2．If you want your land to keep fertile，you must try to stop soil from being carried away by water or wind．When soil is taken away by flowing water or blowing winds，we call it soil erosion．Ways have been found to stop soil erosion，and this is known as soil conservation．One way of stopping soil erosion is to grow small plants such as grass．These plants are referred to as cover crops，whose roots hold the soil tightly together．The rain water cannot wash away the soil．When trees and tall bushes are planted at the edges of an open field，soil erosion by strong winds cannot take place．The trees and bushes，which act as a very big and firm wall，protect the open land from the winds．The way to stop soil erosion on slopes is to build terraces（梯田）on the slope of hillside and mountainside．When the slope of a hillside is cut into"step"，water carrying soil can not run straight down the terraces，which are used to slow down the speed of the flowing water containing much soil in it．In this way most of the soil in the water is left behind on the terraces，with much soil in it．

21．What takes place in soil erosion？B
A．Flood happens to the fertile land．
B．A large quantity of the soil loses away gradually．
C．Terraces are built on the slope of hillside or mountainside．
D．Plants are grown to protect the open land．
22．According to the passage，trees and tall bushes are planted around an open fieldC．
A．because their roots hold soil tightly
B．because soil erosion causes terrible damages to crops
C．to stop soil from being blown away by winds
D．to keep the balance of nature

1．I had always been unhappy with my weight before I managed to lose weight．As a kid，I was bigger than everyone else around me and gained more weight after college．
One day，when I looked at myself in the mirror，I really disliked how I looked．I knew I had to make a change．Besides，my health was rapidly declining．I thought I should try something to lose weight．
I changed something I ate and made the gym my top priority．However，it was not easy．I had tried medication （药物治疗）before I tried to lose weight in the correct way．Coming off my medication was hard．My body was fighting itself and I had many weight-loss plateaus （停滞期）．
I also struggled at the gym sometimes and had a hard time pushing myself through workouts．
Luckily，my trainer kept me motivated．He was driving this bus to success for me．He was my constant supporter and biggest fan．Thanks to him I saw results within two months after starting my journey.20months later，I lost 160 pounds．
Now I can walk more than 50feet without having to sit down．I can do laundry and clean my house．I can go to the grocery store without having to drive myself in the"fat cart"．I can do anything I want to without stressing about it．I am finally free!
If you also want to lose weight，my advice is to take small steps every day to reach your goal．When I started，160 pounds seemed so overwhelming to me，but I took small steps and made changes every day to get where I am now．It is not about a quick fix． You can't climb Mount Everest in one day．You have to do it one step at a time!

56．Why did the author want to try something to lose weight？（No more than 10words）Because she disliked her look and her health was decling．
57．How did the author try to lose weight at last？（No more than 10words）By changing her diet and working out in the gym．

60．What lesson can you learn from the author's story？（No more than 20words）We can manage to do something well if we are determined and do it in the right way．．

20．Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness，happiness，goodness，and self-respect？The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as"honor"help you create this life of good feelings．
Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness．
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item．If we keep silent，and profit from the clerk's mistake，
we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement．Later we might tell our family or friends about ourgood fortune．On the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty．We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul．
Then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness？
In the first case，where we don't tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen．Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief．In the process，we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect．We would also demonstrate that we cannot lie trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends．We damage our own reputations by telling others．In contrast，bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen．Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable．Upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased．Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility．
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions．Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions．Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence．And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy．While the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once it's started，it's easy to continue．Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness．

19．

If you happen to be near Ocean Avenue Elementary in Portland，Maine，you might see Paige Marchand walking to school．According to Portland TV station WCSH，Paige is part of a"walking school bus"---a group of kids who walk to school together every day．A parent comes along to act as a driver of sorts，to make sure the kids walk safely．But the kids look out for each other，too．
"Sometimes，they'll pick one person to go ahead of everybody and then just stop at each crossing，waiting for everybody to catch up．Everyone is excited，"Paige told WCSH reporter Chris Rose．
This Wednesday morning was October 5th，2011．That morning，more than 3，700schools across the country participated in International Walk to School Day．The goal is to get more kids walking every day-like Paige-so long as there's a safe route to and from school．
"The only walking a lot of students do is to walk from the classroom to the door of their parents'car，"said Paul Holman，a physical education teacher at Spence Elementary in La Crosse，Wisconsin．"It's great exercise．And it'll help you get fit instead of fat．We let the kids know that walking is a start．"
Forty years ago，approximately half of all kids walked to school，according to people who keep track of such statistics．Today，that number is reportedly down to around 13 percent．International Walk to School Day is trying to reverse that trend．
When it started 14 years ago in Chicago，Illinois，it was known as"National Walk Our Children to School Day．"But within a few years，it went international，and today millions of kids in all 50 states and a number of other countries participate．
Last week，Spence students took part in a regional"Walk to School Challenge"‖to celebrate the day．Kids who have to take buses to school were able to participate．They did their walking inside the school's gym．
"I like to walk in school，"Spence student Cowan Reuter told Anderson．The school with the highest participation rate got a special trophy（奖杯），according to the Tribune．The name of the trophy？"The Golden Shoe．"

18．Becoming a teacher is one of the best ways to make a difference in the life of a child and even older students．Here are some great scholarships and grant （奖学金，助学金）opportunities to get the ball rolling on your dreams of becoming a teacher．
Straightforward Teacher Program
This is one of the most popular and unique scholarships available for students working towards becoming teachers．The foundation offers their scholarships every three months as opposed to each year．During each payment，four students receive a﹩500 scholarship．
Prezell Robinson Scholarship Program

New York State Scholarship Program
Officials in the state of New York founded this program to award students who want to give back to their community through their ability to teach．The catch for this scholarship is that the students must be pursuing a teaching career in mathematics or science at the secondary level．
Also，because the program was designed to improve the education system in New York，the candidates must sign a service contract agreeing to work full time within the state for at least five years after graduation．
Coca-Cola Scholarships
