When your pet is sick, you know it needs medication. But pets, like babies, don't know the pill you want them to take will help them.____ 1.____ Here are some tips to help get your pet to take liquid medicine.

______2.______If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food. First give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medication. It's important that the pet nibbles (一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地吃) at the food and sees that there's nothing wrong. Next, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medication in a small amount food and present it. Repeat as necessary to get the entire dose (劑量) down.______ 3.__ If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted.

If the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe (注射器) or a dropper (滴管) to get the liquid down your pet's throat. _______4.________Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesn't sense your stress or hesitation. Position your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair ---- or a cat on your lap. ____5.______ Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth. Slowly squeeze the medication so the pet won't choke. Try to keep your pet's mouth closed for approximately 30 seconds until you see it has swallowed. If your pet is being obstinate (倔強(qiáng)的) , stroke (撫摸) its throat gently or blow on the face.

Be sure you end the session with praise and perhaps a treat so your pet will not associate medication with a bad experience.

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly（固執(zhí)地）and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?

In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.

“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.

“The artwork?” I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

What a relief!

1.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?

A. Upset.B. Nervous.C. Satisfied.D. Cheerful.

2.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?

A. The laughing assistant of the dentist.

B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.

C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.

D. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.

3.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?

A. Strike while the iron is hot.

B. Put oneself in others’ shoes.

C. Have a good word for one’s friend.

D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆河北省保定市高二5月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Worried about how many calories you will get in that piece of pizza, chocolate cake or bag of chips? A new iPhone application (應(yīng)用程序) MealSnap may help. Users just need to take a picture of the meal with the phone, and it will give a calorie read-out almost immediately.

MealSnap was developed by DailyBurn, a health social network that focuses on helping its users lead healthier lifestyles. It has created several other health and diet-related iPhone applications. The application gives users a quick reply. To do that, it matches the taken picture to a databank (數(shù)據(jù)庫) with the calorie information of nearly 500,000 kinds of food. Users then get the range of calories for the meal that is photographed.

We started with something simple—an apple. A couple of minutes later, the application replied that it was an apple and between 64 and 96 calories. More impressive was the reply we received after sending a photo of a mixed salad bowl. MealSnap replied that the bowl contained “yellow rice with corn, boiled eggs and beans” and that the food was between 532 and 789 calories.

Mr. Smith, director of DailyBurn, said that usual calorie counting needed a long time, but that the application made it easier to know the calories in food. That is why it is so popular among those who are trying hard to lose weight.

In addition, MealSnap can act as a food diary. No need to write down what they’ve eaten, the photoes will be stored. The users can keep a visual log (視覺的記錄). Mr. Smith said, “it’s like a food journey, but easier. All you do is to take the picture. The simple act of recording something can cause a psychological (心理的) change that can help people on their health journey. Knowing the calorie range makes me think more about what I’m eating.”

1. The purpose of DailyBurn is to________.

A. help people find ways to lose weight B. make iPhone more popular

C. persuade people to buy iPhone products D. help people have a healthy life

2. What can be learned from the third paragraph?

A. MealSnap is only useful for simple things.

B. The result of MealSnap isn’t always right.

C. MealSnap can also tell what the food is.

D. MealSnap needs a long time to show the calorie range.

3. Which of the following statements about MealSnap is TRUE?

A. It has been put into the market.

B. People will have a physical change by using it.

C. It’s popular because it was developed by DailyBurn.

D. People have to link iPhone with the Internet to use it.
