听力原文：When you have a dog it is necessary to care for it very carefully. In return you will be loved by your dog.
The most important part of dog-care is cleanliness. Not only does the dog have to be kept clean, but his environment should also be clean. The bed he sleeps in can be made with anything like a rug or a dog mattress.
Proper feeding is also important for your dog's health. A dog should be fed in the same place and on a regular schedule. If your dog refuses to eat, don't force him. Remove his food and don't feed him again until his next regular feeding. Food should never be left before a dog for more than 30 minutes.
One important thing that many dog owners forget is exercise for the dog. Vigorous exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy. A regular walk at a fixed time of the day is enough to help a smaller dog live a healthier end happier life. Large dogs, though, require a run in an open fid&
There are other things that are also important for a dog's health — things like bathing, care of the teeth and nails, keeping them away from insects as much as possible. But if you observe the three main points covered above, your dog will give you a great amount of pleasure.

The invention of telephone has greatly eased the communication among people，but callers should be careful about when to make a phone call or it will cause embarrassments.
It is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning in the USA. If someone is called very early in the morning，while he is shaving or having breakfast，the time of the call indicates great importance of the matter which requires immediate attention of the person called. The same implication is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. at night. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours，he assumes it’s an urgency of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. Time plays a very important role in our social life as you can imagine. In the USA an invitation should be sent to the guests in advance because guests usually believe that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not always necessarily true of the case all over the world. In some other countries，it may be taken stupid to make an appointment too far in advance because plans made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The concept of time varies in different regions of the world. Thus，misunderstandings are sometimes inevitable between men of different cultural backgrounds that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in America，for example. A lack of promptness is regarded as being impolite or not being fully responsible. In the US it would be incredible to keep a business partner or a guest waiting for an hour，and it would be too impolite and unacceptable by their social etiquettes. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to give some words of explanation to the people waiting，though he might not complete his sentence.
16. What is the main idea of this passage？
A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning or in sleeping hours in the US.
B. The role of time in social life over the world..
C. If people are not prompt，they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the US.
D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.

A. A matter of work.
B. A matter of life or death.
C. You want to see him or her.
D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.
18. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend？
A. At 7:00 a.m.
B. At 4:00 p.m.
C. At the midnight.
D. At 4:00 a.m.
19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？
A. In the USA guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is expended only three or four days before the party date.
B. There id no misunderstanding between people from different cultures about the concept of time.
C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the USA.

听力原文：M: It's so cold now, but this morning it was so hot and sunny. I wish there was a way! could always be wearing the most suitable clothes for the temperature.
W: I recently read that in ten years we'll be wearing clothes that change with the weather. So when it's cold, our clothes will warm up, and when it's hot, our clothes will cool off.
M: Oh, very funny! So we'll be wearing huge clothes with built-in air conditioners and heaters.
W: I'm being serious! Researchers have discovered a method of treating fibers with plastic crystals capable of storing and releasing heat as the temperature fluctuates. These treated fibers absorb more heat than untreated fibers. Researchers are still working with this, but soon this process will be widespread.
M: That's fascinating. I didn't know that fibers had the capability of storing heat. How does that work？
W: These fibers work with the heat by rearranging their structures. The treated fibers move back and forth between two solid shapes.
M: I don't understand. What kind of shapes do they change into？
W: When the weather gets warmer, the crystals take on cube shapes and absorb heat. When the weather gets cooler, the crystals become cooler and come back to their original structure.
M: That's truly unbelievable. You said that it'd be a decade before this type of clothes will be available, What a shame! I don't think I can wait that long.

听力原文：M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the buildings.
W: Does it have three bedrooms？
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner？
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities？
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening？

The first is broadly the way Britain is at the moment: a mosaic of communities--Bangladeshi, Afro- Caribbean, Chinese or Jewish holding fast to a strong social identity, but lumbered also with a whole raft of benefits and disadvantages, most of them defined in economic terms l6. It's possible that will still be the pattern in 50 years time, but not very likely.
……
The alternative is a pick-and-mix social landscape. At the moment ethnic minorities are moving in different directions at different rates, with personal and social engagement across ethnic boundaries increasing all the time. One crude indicator is the level of mixed race marriage: one in five Bangladeshi and Pakistani men born in Britain now has a white wife, and one in five babies born in Britain has one Afro-Caribbean and one white parent.
This implies a Britain in which people will construct multiple identities defined by all sorts of factors: class, ethnicity, gender, religion, profession, culture and economic position. It won't be clear-cut. Not all ethnic minorities, or members of an ethnic minority, will be moving in the same direction or identifying the same issues at the heart of their identities. It's about deciding who you are, but also about how other people define you.
That's what will be at the heart of the next 50 years: enduring communities linked by blood through time versus flexible, constantly shifting identities. Identity won't be about where you have come from; it will be a set of values you can take anywhere that is compatible with full participation in whichever society you live in.

You might think that borrowing a match upon the street is a simple thing. But any man who has ever tried it will assure you that it is not, and will be prepared to swear on oath to the truth of my experience of the other evening.
I was standing on the corner of the street with a cigar that I wanted to light. I had no match. I waited till a decent, ordinary man came along. Then I said:
"Excuse me, sir, but could you oblige me with the loan of a match？"
"A match？" he said, "why, certainly." Then he unbuttoned his overcoat and put his hand in the pocket of his waistcoat. "I know I have one," he went on, "and I'd almost swear it's in the bottom pocket — or, hold on, though, I guess it may be in the top — just wait till I put these parcels down on the sidewalk."
"Oh, don't trouble," I said. "It's really of no consequence."
"Oh, it's no trouble, I'll have it in a minute; I know there must be one in here somewhere"—he was digging his fingers into his pockets as he spoke — "but you see this isn't the waistcoat that I generally…"
I saw that the man was getting excited about it. "Well, never mind," I protested; "if that isn't the waistcoat that you generally — why, it doesn't matter."
"Hold on, now, hold on!" the man said. "I've got one of the cursed things in here somewhere. I guess it must be in with my watch. No, it's not there either. Wait till I try my coat. If that damned tailor only knew enough to make a pocket so that a man could get at it!"
He was getting pretty well worked up now. He had thrown down his walking-stick and was searching his pockets with his teeth set. "It's that cursed young boy of mine," he exasperated; "this comes of his fooling in my pockets. By God! perhaps I won't warm him up when I get home. Say, I'll bet that it's in my hippocket. You just hold up the tail of my overcoat a second till I…"
"No, no," I protested again,"please don't take all this trouble, it really doesn't matter. I'm sure you needn't take off your overcoat, and oh, pray don't throw away your letters and things in the snow like that, and tear out your pockets by the roots! Please, please don't trample over your overcoat and put your feet through the parcels. I do hate to hear you swearing at your little boy, with that peculiar grumble in your voice. Don't — please don't tear your clothes so savagely."
Suddenly the man gave a grunt of joy, and drew his hand up from inside the lining of his coat.
"I've got it," he cried. "Here you are!" Then he brought it out under the light.
It was a toothpick.
Yielding to the impulse of the moment I pushed him under the wheels of a trolley-car and ran.

Genetically-modified (GM) foodstuffs are here to stay.That’s not to say that food produced by conventional agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize: there will be a niche market for conventional foodstuffs just as there is for organic food.It may even be that GM food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced pesticide use.
Currently there are some 20,000 chemicals in use, but the scientists only have detailed information around 1,000 of them.To see the advantages of GM food you have only to consider the recent press revelation that the average lettuce receives eleven pesticide applications before it reaches the supermarket shelf.I’m sure chemicals and their role in disease will become a big issue in the 21st century as the population of the developed world worries increasingly about its health.
The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion.It’s not just a question of more mouths to feed either.What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture.
The world has 800 million hungry people.Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution.Now we’re on the edge of a new one: a genetic revolution.
It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM food.It is true that for the next years or so GM crops may be too expensive.
6. According to the passage, food supplies have been increased by all the following except_____________.
A.pesticides
B.artificial fertilizers
C.improved varieties
D.transportation
7.How many chemicals are still less familiar to the scientists？()
A.20,000.
B.1,000
C.19,000
D.21,000.
8.Why will people prefer GM food in the future？()
A.Because it uses less pesticides.
B.Because it is much cheaper.
C.Because the production is increased.
D.Because it is organic food.
9.Which of the following is NOT true？()
A.By 2050, the world population will grow to ten or eleven billion.
B.In the 21st century, GM food will take the place of conventional food.
C.More and more people will reduce the overall land available for farming.
D.More and more people will consume more food and occupy more space.
10.The author’s attitude towards GM food is _______.
A.negative
B.positive
C.critical
D.uncertain
