Thirteen-year-old Shanna Wilkinson saved the life of Holly, a sheepdog, who was very young. Holly was a tiny and very weak dog. According to the vet, there was little chance that Holly could survive. But with Shanna’s love and care, Holly grew into a strong, healthy adult dog with a special skill that would save Shanna’s life more than once.
At seventeen, Shanna got a kind of illness. She began having seizures(疾病发作) repeatedly, often as many as nine times a day. Because she couldn’t predict when the seizures would occur, every moment was dangerous for her. Every day she was in danger--- it was risky for her to simply cross the street, much less drive a car.
Just when it seemed as if Shanna would have to live indoors forever, her mother noticed something strange happened. Several times a day, the dog would begin whimpering(呜咽) and pulling Shanna’s leg. At first, no one was sure what was wrong with her. But they soon realized that Holly’s strange behavior always occurred before one of Shanna’s seizures began. Amazingly, Holly is able to predict exactly when the seizures will occur, even though Shanna herself never sees them coming.
Luckily, no matter how mysterious the dog’s talent is, Holly’s help has made life a billion times better for her owner.
“I feel comfortable and safe going out in public, and I can know when my seizures will come because of Holly, ” Shanna says. “Holly has really given me back my independence and I can live a normal life.”
68. What do we learn about the dog Holly?
A. She can get recovered herself.
B. She is larger than most dogs.
C. She would have died without Shanna’s care.
D. She was fed well when Shanna saved her.
69. It was impossible for Shanna to driver a car because ___ .
A. she was too young to drive
B. she had no sense of direction
C. her seizures would come suddenly
D. she didn’t know the traffic rules
70. According to the passage, how does Holly help Shanna?
A. She can make Shanna know when the seizures come.
B. She can help Shanna by sending for a doctor.
C. She can stop Shanna from going out in public.
D. She can help Shanna when she gets injured.

In ancient Japan, if you saved someone’s life, they would make it their duty to spend the rest of their life serving you. Nowadays, if you rescue someone’s story, he or she will feel the same kind of gratitude (感激).
It happens all the time. Someone in a group is telling a story and, just before their big point, BOOM! There’s an interruption. Someone new joins the group, a waiter with a plate of biscuits comes over, or a baby starts crying. Suddenly everyone’s attention turns to the new arrival, the food on the plate, or the “charming” little child. Nobody is aware of the interruption — except the speaker. They forget all about the fact that the speaker hasn’t made his or her point.
Or you’re all sitting around the living room and someone is telling a joke. Suddenly, just before their big punch line (妙语), little Johnny drops a dish or the phone rings. After the crash, everyone talks about little Johnny’s carelessness. After the call, the subject turns to the upcoming marriage or medical operation of the caller. Nobody remembers the great punch line got unfinished — except the joke teller. When it’s you entertaining everyone at a restaurant, have you ever noticed how you can almost set your clock by the waiter coming to take everyone’s order just before your funny punch line?
Most joke and story tellers are too shy to say, after the interruption, “Now, as I was saying …” Instead, they’ll spend the rest of the evening feeling bad they didn’t get to finish. Here’s where you come in. Rescue them with the technique I call “Lend a Helping Tongue.”
Watch the gratitude in the storyteller’s eyes as he stabilizes where his story sunk and he sails off again toward the center of attention. His expression and the appreciation of your consideration by the rest of the group are often reward enough. You are even more fortunate if you can rescue the story of someone who can hire you, promote you, buy from you, or otherwise lift your life. Big winners have excellent memories. When you do them subtle favors like Lend a Helping Tongue, they find a way to pay you back.
1.Very often, a storyteller cannot make his point because _________.
A. people are more interested in food than his story
B. many guests bring their babies to the party
C. he is interrupted by something unexpected
D. his story is easily forgotten by the listeners
2.From Paragraph 3, we know that when someone is telling a joke, _________.
A. something bad will surely happen just before their punch line
B. listeners’ attention is often drawn to something else
C. the only person really interested in the joke is the joke teller
D. the waiter knows when to take everyone’s order
3.How can we help the joke and story tellers when they are interrupted?
A. By giving them a chance to finish.
B. By comforting them to make them happy.
C. By going on telling the story for them.
D. By teaching them some useful techniques.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. People should learn how to take turns in a conversation.
B. We can win someone’s heart by getting him back to his story.
C. Telling jokes will make you the center of attention.
D. It is impolite to cut in on someone’s talk.

A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.
The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns (秋裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around -4°C.
After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.
“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10:30 p.m.,” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.”

Three high students become heroes after their act of saving a baby’s life.
Andrew Willis, 15, his brother Chris, 13, and friend Reece Galea, 14, were walking along Swallow Drive on their way to school on May 23, when Nicholle Price ran out of her house, shouting for help. Her six-month-old son Corey had swallowed (吞下) an earring (耳环) and the young mother couldn’t ring for help because something was wrong with her phone. The three teenagers rushed to the aid of Ms Price, called an ambulance (救护车), calmed her down and waited with her until the ambulance arrived before heading to school.
Ms Price, Corey and his grandmother Joyce Finnie visited the school last Thursday to thank the boys for their kind action. “It’s good to know that there are still some good people who will stop and help,” Ms Price said. “While I was shouting for help, a woman walking her dog went straight past, without stopping. I don’t know what would have happened if these boys had not stopped.”
The teenagers were shocked at the attention they received at school for their heroic act but admitted that the incident was nerve-racking(刺激神经的). “We heard her shouting so we knew something wasn’t right,” Andrew said. “We thought someone had died. It was scary (惊慌的) but we just did what we had to do.”
Just as proud as the boys’ parents is their principal, Tim McCallum.
After two days in hospital, Corey has now fully recovered. “He’s got two new teeth to show,” Ms Price said. “I have to keep a closer eye on him. He’s into everything now and grabs whatever he finds to put it straight into his mouth.”
1.The three high students were _____ when a woman ran out of her house shouting for help.
A.playing near the house
B.on their way to school

A turkey named Courage gave thanks to President Obama for saving his life on the day before Thanksgiving. Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned the bird on Thanksgiving eve.
The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).
The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress(议会) ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.
This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
1.That the turkey Courage was pardoned was decided by ________.
A. George Bush B. Congress C. President Truman D. the public
2.The first Thanksgiving Day was held to ________.
A. celebrate the harvest of British settlers
B. celebrate the progress of Americans
C. encourage the struggle with British settlers
D. celebrate the joy of all Americans after a hard winter
3.In 1939, President Roosevelt put forward the national day of Thanksgiving to ________.
A. encourage the economy B. help the poor
C. please Congress D. lengthen the summer holidays
4.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisis
B. the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before Thanksgiving
C. the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eve
D. the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving Day
