| During summer vacations, I would work at a hospital for pets, so I'd seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen. Thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body. Her bugged-out (凸出)eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail looked like a rat's tail. She was brought to the hospital because her owners didn't want her anymore. I thought Minnie had a sweet personality, though."No one should judge her by her looks," I thought. She was quite fit and didn't need any treatment. So I advertised Minnie in the local paper:"Funny-looking dog, well behaved, needs loving family." When a young man called, I warned him that Minnie was strange looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather's sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter what. I gave Minnie a good bath and fluffed up(使松散) what was left of her poor hair. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last,all old car pulled up in front of the vet's. Two kids raced to the door. They took Minnie into their al ms and rushed her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction(反应) to Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair gently. She moved her mouth over his face. Her rat tail moved from side to side so quickly that it looked like it might fly off her body. It was love at first lick (舔). |

| A Mumbai based but British made movie, Slumdog Millionaire took the most Oscars in Hollywood last week. Starring a cast (演员阵容) of unknown actors, the movie won eight awards including best picture and best director. The movie follows the life of an 18-year-old boy who's grown up in the slums (贫民窟) of Mumbai, India. The boy ends up winning money and love when he makes it onto a popular TV game show. In spite of the film's Success at the Academy Awards, Indians have mixed feelings about Slumdog. The argument about how the movie portrays (描述) India began when it hit cinemas. The film is set in the poor and cruel society of one of Mumbai's slums. In one scene, the hero jumps into a smelly open-air toilet to run after a pop star. That world, though real to hundreds of millions of Indians, is very different to how modem India sees itself. Many Indian audiences feel uncomfortable with the film's portraying of India as a slum land. Several well-respected local Indian filmmakers have said the story has been tailored for western audiences. Veteran Bollywood star, Amitabh Bachchan, said the film portrayed India as a" Third World, dirty developing nation." Even some of those who like the movie are unhappy with its title. People who live in slums have taken to the streets with signs that read: "Don't call us dogs" and "I am not a slum dog." "It's understandable why people are unhappy with the title." Indian author Chitra Divakaruni told the New York Times. "In Indian culture being called a dog is extremely rude.It is often used in films to describe evil people." However, others have been more positive. The Wall Street Journal in New York described Slumdog as "the world's first globalized masterpiece (杰作) |

| I'm one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I spend too much of my time doing things I'd rather not be. I get things done, but it's not always the best I can do, or the best way I can spend my time. That's why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter. Being a quitter isn't being someone who gives up, who doesn't see important things through to the end. I want to quit doing things that I'm asked to do. for no other reason than I'm asked to do it. I want to be able to quit something in mid-stream, because I realize there's nothing good coming from it. A friend of mine once told me that"I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it."Strange though it sounds,we all intend to do this. We get involved in something, realize we don't want to be a part of it, but just keep doing it. What I advise is to quit as often as possible. If you're stuck doing something, and don't really want to do it anymore, step back for a second. Ask if you really have to do this, and what value is being produced from your doing it. Don't think about the time you've put into it or how much it's taken over your life. If you don't want to do it,and don't have to do it, don't do it. By quitting these things, you'll free up time to do things that actually do create value, for yourself and for others.You'11 be able to begin to put your time and effort into the things you'd actually like to do. Let's learn how to say"no" at the beginning. or in the middle. Let's see to it that we're spending our time creating value, rather than worsening our losses. Let's be quitters together. |

| A. adults should always finish books completely B. adults should stop reading after getting 500 pages C. adults can stop reading if there's no value D. adults can stop reading if he gets the main idea |
| 2. The underlined phrase "free up time" in Paragraph 5 probably means "_____ ". |
| A. give somebody extra time B. make bad use of time C. takes somebody more time D. spend less time |
| 3.The best title of the passage should be _____. |
| A. Stop Doing Things B. Try to Be a Quitter C. Learn to Say No D. Create our Value |

| Money, jewels and important documents (文件) are not the only valuables placed in banks these days. 1 There're ten breast banks set up across the United States, where mothers can donate (捐赠) their extra milk for other women's babies. Experts say breast milk is the best food for babies. The World Health Organization says it is the only food that babies should get during the first six months of life, in most cases. 2 Sometimes these premature babies (早产儿) must stay in hospital for many weeks. 3 Doctor James Cameron who treats newborns at Lutheran Children's Hospital in Fort Wayne, India says:"The fact is that there are so many different proteins and specialized sugars in the breast milk that the mom's able to make that help provide immunity (免疫).It's very important for the health of newborns. 4 Donors must be willing to provide almost three liters (公升) of breast milk. They freeze the milk and take it to the station. There, employees warm the milk and mix it with other mothers' milk. Then, the milk is heated to kill bacteria (细菌).After that, the technicians test samples of all the milk to make sure it is safe and healthful. The milk is re-frozen and sent to the main milk bank. The milk bank transports the milk to hospitals to feed premature or sick babies. To ensure the quality of the breast milk, donors must obey certain requirements, too. 5 |
