| How "Kangaroo" Became an Animal's Name Early in the 18th century, Captain Cook, a famous explorer (探险家) of Australia, unexpectedly caught sight of an unusual animal dunng his first visit to Australia. The animal had a large mouth-like head and jumped along on its large legs. To his great surprise, the unusual animal carried its young in a special pocket of flesh. Captain Cook pointed to the animal which was eating grass in the distance and asked his native guide what the animal was referred to. The guide seemed not to know what he was pointing at and finally said Kangaroo, which Cook carefully wrote down as the animal's name in his word book. The Europeans who later got to Australia were anxious to see the unusual animal "Kangaroo", but their requests were met with puzzled looks of the native people.

| The dog, called Prince, was a clever animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight. The dog had a number of duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to show his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would say "Boots" very quietly and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the store, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a packet of cigarettes. A gun dog by breed (品种), Prince had a large soft mouth for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the cigarettes came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark. Williams was a railway man, an engine driver, and he wore a uniform which smelled of oil fuel. He had to work at odd times-"days", "late days" or "nights". Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the anger of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him. A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy road somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly injured that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later-that was five days after the fall, Prince dropped the wallet into Williams' hand. Very muddy and wet through, the little case still contained fifty-three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but he had found it and recognized it probably by the slight oil smell on the worn leather. |
| 1. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs? |
| A. Their teeth are well-developed when they are very young. B. They can carry back hunted birds without hurting them. C. They are fed well, producing many young dogs. D. They are the most intelligent of all dogs. |
| 2. How did Prince perform his duties? |
| A. He did his best but was not often successful. B. He did them unwillingly but got them over. C. He had few opportunities to do them. D. He was delighted to show them off. |
| 3. Williams did not realize his loss until several days later because _____. |
| A. he trusted the dog to find the wallet B. he had left the wallet on the train C. he had no chance to feel in his pockets D. he was busy with his work all the time |
| 4. What might help Prince to find Williams' wallet? |
| A. The remaining smell of fuel on the case. B. The photo on Williams' driving license. C. The footprints of Williams' in the snow. D. The strong smell of the worn leather. |
| 5. What does the writer think of Prince? |
| A. Skillful and gentle. B. Clever and amusing. C. Proud and fierce. D. Devoted and smart. |

| Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route through the boot (行李箱). Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent, after skidding (打滑) on ice and hitting a bank. "Fortunately, the water began to come in slowly," Mr. Johnson said. "I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed (堵塞) against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come in." Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sittingborrne, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn. Later he said, "It was really a half penny that saved my life." It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew (拧开) the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered hard with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came. It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat and a further ten minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wretch (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. "It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (爬) clear as the car filled up." His hands and arms were cut and bruised (擦伤). Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Wrapped in a blanket, he said, "That thirty minutes seemed like hours." Only the tips of the car wheels could be seen, the police said last night. The car had sunk into (陷 入) two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch. |

| While it is impossible to live completely free of stress (压力), it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress. Try physical activity When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure (压力) through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Take care of yourself You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should go to see a doctor. Make time for yourself Schedule time (确定时间) for both work and entertainment. Don't forget, play can be just as important to your well-being (幸福) as work. You need a break from your daily routine (日常事务) to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. Make a list of things to do Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do,and not enough time". Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then _____, check off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first. |
