Why 2008 is a special year? Because it is a Leap Year(闰年).
What is so special about that? Well, we have a Leap Year every four years. And it has 366 days, not the usual 365. In a Leap Year, we have 29 days in February, while in a usual year we have only 28 days.
Why do we have a Leap Year? We have a Leap Year so we can keep the calendar in step
(一致)with the seasons. The calendar is a kind of clock for the year. But how long is a year? A calendar year is 365 days. But a true year is 365 days,5 hours,48 minutes and 46 seconds long. That's the time it takes the earth (地球) to go around the sun. So every four years we have one more day, and we put it at the end of February, the shortest month of a year. Then we have a Leap Year.

About one year ago, my wife, Mary, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We
named her Baby.
Baby is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I decided that the dog would be trained. This
didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training
School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾) so loudly that I hardly got a good night's
sleep.
Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I
was unable to stop it. My behavior (行为方式) began to change. I began to smile at people when
passing them in a street. I returned from neighbors. I started calling my kids and, to my surprise,
they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was
glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing.
My wife and I both agree that it is Baby who has changed my behavior.
Baby is now nearly one year old and almost fully grown. I have come to like the pet little by little,
though she is my wife's dog.
B. It looked very beautiful.
C. It wasn't necessary to be trained.
D. It could change his life.
B. When Baby was nearly one year old.
C. When Baby was 15 weeks old.
D. About six months after Baby arrived.

C. He started calling his kids.
D. He spoke to his grandchildren over the phone.
B. The man has become more confident (自信的).
C. The man has become more friendly.
D. The man likes the dog better than his wife.
B. A dog.
C. His neighbor.
D. His grandchildren.
