People say one man's trash(垃圾) is another man's treasure. That comes to me as I the house purchased in 1962 by my parents. My mother passed away in 1996. My father left the house my sister and me when he died a few months ago.

After Dad was , we looked around the house where we grew up and that Dad loved so much. At first we felt so all the stuff(東西) left. Like so many of their generation, my parents everything. And like many in my generation, we faced anxious about what to abandon and what to keep.

As we started throwing out old phone books and every medical bill from every my parents ever saw, I also many hidden treasures. Mom's pocketbook was in their bedroom closet, which had everything in it, her hairbrush with hair, as if she were still here. And Dad, who was a World War II veteran(退伍兵) and a world traveler, everything ----- from little spoons from all over the world to every letter he wrote to his parents while in the . The letters he wrote during the war his thoughts as a young man. Later, in the basement, I our old kitchen table, which brought back of my parents and sister and me having breakfast together.

I'm realizing all these things my parents' life journey. Each time I go to , I find something that reminded me of my childhood or teaches me something about my parents I knew. , from the shabby furniture to all the hidden treasures, means more to me than all the money in the world.

Monitoring the mood of a pet dog could be used as an early warning sign that an elderly owner is struggling to cope, a new report has claimed.

Researchers placed movement sensors (探測器) on dogs to track their behaviour and identified 17 distinct activities, including chewing, barking, sitting and digging.

This allowed them to map the normal behaviour of a healthy, happy dog, which means any changes can be monitored and could indicate an issue with their owner.

Nils Hammerla, part of the team from Newcastle University, said, “Humans and dogs have lived together in close relationships for thousands of years, which has led to strong emotional and social mutual bonds.”

“A dog’s physical and emotional dependence on their owner means that their well-being is likely to reflect that of their owner. Any changes such as the dog being walked less often, perhaps not being fed regularly, or simply demonstrating “unhappy” behaviour could be an early indicator for families that an older relative needs help. This is the first system of its kind which allows us to remotely monitor a dog’s behaviour in its natural setting.”

The team of academics, who presented their findings at the 2013 UbiComp conference in Zurich, created a hi-tech, waterproof (防水的) dog collar for the study.

Dr Cas Ladha, who led the study, said: “A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer. But developing a system that reassures family and carers that an older relative is well without intruding on (侵犯) the individual’s privacy is difficult. This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to support people without the need for cameras.”

A range of dogs was used for the study, as the team needed to map distinct behaviours that correlated between different breeds.

1.From the text, we know that Nils Hammerla ____________.

A. led the study and identified 17 activities of dogs

B. thinks some activities of dogs can reflect senior owners’ health

C. studied the relationship between humans and animals

D. developed a hi-tech, waterproof dog collar

2.The underlined word “reassure” in Paragraph 7 probably means ____________.

A. protect B. comfort

C. warn D. recognize

3.Which of the following is an advantage of the intelligent system mentioned in the text?

A. It can indicate that people aren’t well.

B. It can identify different activities of dogs.

C. It monitors an elderly owner without disturbing his privacy.

D. It lets people see the dog’s behavior clearly.

4.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A. Dogs’ mood can be an indicator of owners’ health

B. Strong bonds between dogs and their senior owners

C. Signs that your older relative needs help

D. A special way of taking care of the old

Last evening, I went to teahouse with my best friend Susan. Before the tea was serving, we talked to each other happily. When the waiter went to us with the tea, we didn’t see him. Unfortunately, Susan rose her hand to comb her hair just while the waiter bent to put the plate on the table. His hand hit the cup, and the tea was spattered (濺) on her trousers. In my surprise, instead of complaining , Susan smiled, “ So lucky that it’s not on my shirt, and I can’t even clean it.” Her words were very inspired. We can’t foresee what will happen, but looking at it in a positive way can make us be happy

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs（READ）.

The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.

Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children's department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.

The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.

1.What is mainly discussed in the text?

A. Children’s reading difficulties.

B. Advantages of raising dogs.

C. Service in public library.

D. A special reading program.

2. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______________.

A. dogs are young children's best friends

B. children can play with dogs while reading

C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children

D. children and dogs understand each other

3.By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library ____________.

A. uses dogs to attract children.

B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA.

C. has opened a children's department.

D. has decided to train some dogs.

4. A “paw graphed” book is most probably_____________.

A. a book used in Saturday classes

B. a book written by the children

C. a prize for the children

D. a gift from parents
