Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.

If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.

Zhang Yingying, 26, was last seen on June 9 near the north end of the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign（UIUC）, wearing a charcoal-colored baseball cap, a pink and white top, jeans and white tennis shoes and carrying a black backpack. She boarded a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District bus and exited the West Springfield and North Mathews avenues at 1:52 pm local time（1852 GMT）, police said.

The FBI has labeled the case as a kidnapping but isn’t ruling out anything, said Campus police spokesman Patrick Wade. The suspect appears to be a white male who was in a car and stopped to talk to Zhang on Friday afternoon, the FBI said. Almost one month into a yearlong appointment at the UIUC campus, Zhang’s friends told police that she was heading to an apartment complex in Urbana to sign a lease(租约).

Security camera footage(连续镜头) on Monday released by university police showed that Zhang talked to the driver of a black Saturn Astra, about five blocks from where she got off a bus in Urbana on Friday afternoon. She entered the car shortly thereafter. Zhang has not been seen or heard from since then and attempts to contact her by phone remain unsuccessful. Authorities have asked the public to help identify that vehicle.

A massive search has been launched in Urbana in the US state of Illinois since Zhang’s disappearance. Police are interviewing with her colleagues, checking local hospitals and coordinating with ride-hailing(打车) companies as part of their investigative efforts.

In an interview with Xinhua through Wechat on Thursday, Zhang Ronggao, father of the missing visiting scholar from China’s Fujian Province, expressed gratitude to all the people involved in the search and asked US police to accelerate the search.

This continued until one morning，after a week of sleeping in his car，he walked nervously into a diner and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks，he found himself lying to the waiter，telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter，who was also the owner，walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting.

He bent down，and took out a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son，you must have dropped this，” the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his ear! He quickly paid for the breakfast，left a tip，bought gas with the bill，and headed West.

On the way out of town，he understood. “Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that owner just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass(使困窘) me. I'd been praying for a few days before that，and right then I just made an engagement．I said，‘If ever I have a chance to help other people，I will do it.’”

Now older，the man lives in Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa(圣诞老人)，” because at Christmas time each year，he personally hands money out to those on the street，and at diners. Last year，he gave more than $50，000 away in Kansas City.

【题目】阅读理解
As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods,"The woods" was our part-time address, destination,purpose,and excuse.If I went to a friend's house and found him not at home,his mother might say, "Oh,he's out in the woods,"with a tone of airy acceptance.It's similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I'm looking for is on the golf course or at the gym,or even "away from his desk."For us ten-year-olds,"being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring.Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today.History seemed to be mostly about explorers.Our explorations,though,seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way.Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks,shooting frogs,picking blackberries,digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were.If you read a story in which someone does that successfully,be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight,and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees.There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches,easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree,too,that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence.In March,the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter,two friends and I set out to go exploring.We climbed a tree,and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree.Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
（1）The author and his fiends were often out in the woods to.
A.spend their free time
B.play gold and other sports
C.avoid doing their schoolwork
D.keep away from their parents
（2）What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.The activities in the woods were well planned.

D.The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
（3）How does the author feel about his childhood?
A.Happy but short.
B.Lonely but memorable.
C.Boring and meaningless.
D.Long and unforgettable.

Unlike his classmates, Andrew Makhoul, 【6】 university student, spent his 2012 spring break volunteering at an orphanage (孤儿院), 【7】 (locate) in one of the poorest and most violent parts of Guatemala and depending 【8】 volunteers to stay open. Makhoul’s first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he 【9】 (will) be back soon—because he saw love and hope. “If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, and you will fill 【10】 (you) with hope,” former US president wrote on social media in 2016.

【题目】阅读理解
Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world,and he fears silence more than anything else.Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.If he is introduced to another person,and a number of pauses occur in the conversation,he regards himself as a failure,a worthless person,and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）. He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly,but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.
The aim of conversation is not,for the most part,to communicate ideas;it is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are,it must be admitted,different qualities of buzz;there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.Most buzzing, fortunately,is pleasant to the ear,and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears,though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening,during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time.They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.
（1）According to the author, people make conversation to.
A.exchange ideas
B.prove their value
C.achieve success in life
D.overcome their fear of silence
（2）By “the buzzing of a fly”(Para.1),the author means “”.
A.the noise of an insect
B.a low whispering sound
C.meaningless talks
D.the voice of a chatterbox
（3）According to the passage,people usually talk to their neighbors .
A.about whatever they have prepared
B.about whatever they want to
C.in the hope of learning something new
D.in the hope of getting on well
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A.To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B.To encourage people to join in conversations.
C.To persuade people to stop making noises.
D.To explain why people keep talking.
