My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door. “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again. “Go away!” I shouted.

Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier. The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind. For weeks, she’d been wandering around the neighborhood.

It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didn’t think about them very much. I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one.

Brandy went away and I stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone rang. I went inside to take the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husband.

Police searched the neighborhood. Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking. “It’s coming from the woods.” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff (悬崖). There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, leaning (倚靠) against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!

I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away.

“Come on, girl.” I said. “This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. She’d done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it. She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had. What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!

1.What is the correct order for the events in the story about Brandy?

a. She was left behind by her owner’s family.

b. She stepped into the woman’s house.

c. She appeared at the woman’s front door.

d. She stayed beside the woman’s son for hours.

A. d, a, b, c　　　　 B. a, c, b, d

C. c, d, b, a　　　　 D. a, c, d, b

2.What did the woman do when she first saw Brandy?

A. She gave her some food.

B. She drove her away.

C. She took her home.

D. She said thank you to her.

3.How were they able to be aware that the woman’s son was near the cliff?

A. By searching the neighborhood.

B. By hearing a dog barking.

C. By following a dog’s footsteps.

D. By hearing her son’s crying.

Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps (打车软件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies.

On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing.

It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December.

Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors.

Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps.

Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it.

1.Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles?

A. Because they wanted the authority to increase their driving allowances.

B. Because they wanted to be taught how to use the taxi-hiring apps.

C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the authority.

D. Because they wanted to appeal to passengers not to hire the private cars.

2.The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______.

A. positive　　　　 B. negative

C. neutral　　　　　　 D. unclear

3.Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?

A. The problem referred to in the passage exists in all cities

B. App-based car rental is functional to some degree

C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market

D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company

4.we can learn from the passage that _____.

A. Shenyang forbade apps-based car rental companies

B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche

C. some international investment companies have strong faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies

D. it is not difficult to picture the apps-based car rental companies illegal

It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plan for the future. “I’m going to college, but I need a way to pay for it.” Deluca recalls saying. Buck said, “you should open a sandwich shop.”

That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn’t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.

But business didn’t go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didn’t know how badly, because we didn’t have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.

Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They’d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, ‘We are so successful, we are opening a second store.’” And they did — in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.

But the partners’ learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their supplies. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn’t necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” Deluca says.

And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal.” Deluca adds.

Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.

1.Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to ________.

A. support his family

B. pay for his college education

C. help his partner expand business

D. do some research

2.Which of the following is true of Buck?

A. He put money into the sandwich business.

B. He was a professor of business as ministration.

C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.

D. He rented a storefront for Deluca.

3.What can we learn about their first shop?

A. It stood at an unfavorable place.

B. It lowered the prices to poor management.

C. It made no profits due to poor management.

D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwich.

4.They decided to open a second store because they _________.

A. had enough money to do it

B. had succeeded in their business

C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers

D. wanted to make believe that they were successful

5.What contributes most to their success according to the author?

A. Learning by trial and error.

C. Finding a good partner.

D. Opening chain stores.

根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. 　　 1.　 They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways；that they are too serious and too strict with their children；and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

2.　 Parents tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example，young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. 　　 3.　　 Most of them plan things ahead，at least in the back of their minds，and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.

When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.

Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes，in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble；it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world，into which they have not yet been accepted. 　　　 4.　　 And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech，this will make the young people extremely happy.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. 　 5.　　 It is natural enough，after being a child for so many years，when you were completely under your parents’ control.

If you plan to control your life，you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility，they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

A. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust.

B. Young people tend to do what they like.

C. They say that their parents don’t understand them.

D. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.

E. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own.

F. While older people worry more easily.

G. Do trust your parents and follow their suggestions.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do，mine. Her name was Mrs. White. And I 　　　　 thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White，　　 she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin.

And thanks to Mrs. White I felt no 　　　　 about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Beautiful.
