Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5：30．and at 6：30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club．At last，the traffic was moving．She swung quickly racing to her house As she opened the door，she nearly tripped over Sheba．

       “Hey，Sheba，”she said，“I've got no time for you now，but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club．”Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking Obviously，she could hardly breathe．Immediately．Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet．（兽医） When she got there，the vet was just about to close for the day．Seeing the state of Sheba，Dr．Sterne brought her quickly into his office．

       “Listen，doctor，I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting ．Can I leave her with you，and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up，and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me．Is that OK?”

       “Sure．”said the doctor

       Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes．As she was once more entering the hallway，the phone by the door began to ring．

       “This is Dr．Sterne，”said an anxious voice．“I want you to get out of that house immediately，”said the doctor's voice．“I'm coming round right away，and the police will be there any time now．Wait outside!”

       At that moment，a police car screeched to a stop outside the house．Two policemen got out and ran into the house．Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened．Then the doctor arrived．

       “Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?”shouted Joanne．

       “She’s fine，Joanne．I took out the thing which was choking her，and she’s OK now．”

       Just then，the two policemen reappeared from the house，half-carrying a white—faced man，who could hardly walk．There was blood all over him．

       “My God，”said Joanne，“how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”

       “I think he must be a burglar．”said the doctor．“I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat：it turned out to be three human fingers”

1．What was Joanne supposed to do at 6：30？

       A．To walk her dog．                               B．To see her doctor．

       C．To attend a club meeting．                   D．To play tennis with her friends．

2．Joanne wanted to get back to her home again            ．

       A．to dress up for the meeting                   B．to phone the police station

       C．to catch the badly hurt burglar              D．to wait for her dog to be cured

       C．Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting

Pushing children too hard is a really big social problem that seems to be getting worse．Now we have 6-month-olds in music classes and swimming classes．Parents fear that if other children are attending these classes，they will be holding their own children back if they do not enroll，too．

       The other extreme，simply taking a laissez-faire approach and letting children do—or refuse to do—whatever they want，is not the answer either，of course．

       Dr Taylor emphasizes that parents need to push their children based on what is best for the children，not what is best for themselves．If children understand that an activity is in their best interests，then they will accept it, he finds．

       Dr Taylor and other family experts remain pessimistic about the possibilities for widespread social change．“The force of our popular culture，driven by money and superficial（表面上的） values，cannot be resisted，” he says．But change can take place at a“micro-level,” in families and schools．

       When changes do occur，the rewards can benefit everyone in the family．One mother supporting this new approach toward parenting mentions the advantages her family experienced after her children cut back on activities．“The biggest thing is that since we have done this，we are rested,” she says．“Not only are our kids rested，because they're not in a ton of stuff, but my husband and I are rested，because we're not driving them everywhere．We weren’t living in the moment when we were always busy．We were living by the schedule．The return on our investment of spending time together has been enormous．”

Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world’s largest automaker wasn’t leaving his problems behind．

       Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．

       Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted．And the cost to Toyota’s reputation is only now starting．

       Despite back-to-back hearings this  week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed．

       Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle’s electronic systems．

       Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference（油门踏板故障）or sticky gas pedals（刹车）．Outside experts have suggested electronic problems．

       House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company’s founder．

       The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration（NHTSA）is seeking records on Toyota’s recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model．

       Toyota has recalled 8．5 million cars，more than 6 million of them in the United States．

       It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars．

       Toyota’s January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year’s bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30 percent to 40．Toyota’s sales problem could continue beyond that．

       It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．
