He may not have an "S" across his chest but this dog is most certainly a hero.
Harley, who was rescued from a puppy mill four years ago, was named the American Humane Association's 2015 American Hero Dog. Harley, who is missing an eye and has other medical issues from his time at the mill, is now a "spokes-dog" against puppy mills. He serves as the adorable furry face of the “Harley to the Rescue "campaign, which raises funds for the National Dog Mill Rescue, according to a press release.
The pup was rescued back in 2011 and adopted by Rudi and her husband, Dan. "It was just four years ago that he was pulled from the cage in the puppy mill and left to die," Har-ley's owner, Rudi, said during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to Today. com. "We never would have ever thought he would live thus long and make such a difference for so many puppies. "
The dog was one of eight finalists up for the American Hero Dog and was chosen as the winner through public votes. The finalists all won $ 1,500 to be donated to one of American Humane Association' s charity partners, with Harley receiving another $ 5 ,000 to go toward his charity partner, New Leash On Life.
According to the release, Harley spent 10 years at the puppy mill, and endured rough treatment there, which led to his many medical issues. He lost his eye as a result of his cage being power-washed with him inside.
The dog isn't just the face of his campaign, he also goes on rescue missions and makes public appearances at events and schools to raise awareness for puppy mills.
This incredible work is all due to the dog' s fighting spirit. That spirit is allowing him now to be the voice for dogs who cannot speak for themselves and give everybody hope that tomorrow's going to be a better day.

China is home to the invention of silk and has a long tradition of producing fine materials for clothing. Not all clothing in ancient or contemporary（ 当代的） China is made of silk, however. In fact, silk was only available to the wealthy classes（阶级） for much of China's history. Until the introduction of cotton during the Ming Dynasty, from the 14th to the 17th century, the poorer classes wore rough clothing made from fibers (纤维).
In ancient China, the tunic（无袖长袍）was particularly popular . Called hanfu（汉服）, both men and women could be seen wearing tunics made of different materials. Women's tunics were long and loose（宽松的）, extending all the way down to their feet and often cinched with a belt or rope to get tighter（紧）. Men's tunics were shorter, usually only extending down to their knees. During the winter, both men and women would wear cotton jackets for warmth. In the winter, men would also wear pants (裤子) or ankle-length skirts into their clothes to keep warm and protect their legs against the cold winter conditions.
Contemporary Chinese clothing is now made of many of the same materials as contemporary clothing found in other countries. Much of the traditional Chinese clothing produced now is made of cotton and silk, but generally contemporary Chinese clothing also contains synthetic (合成的) fibers in with the cotton and silk, such as nylon (尼龙). In addition, linen (亚麻布) is now commonly used in contemporary Chinese clothing, especially during the summer months because it is light and breathable.
1.In ancient China, only wealthy people could afford clothes made from______.
A. silk B. fiber C. cotton D. linen
2.Which of the following about hanfu（汉服） is mentioned in the text?
A. It was made from only one material.
B. Men's hanfu was shorter than women's.
C. People didn't wear it until the Ming Dynasty.
D. It was warm enough to help people against cold in the winter.
3.The underlined word "cinched" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to "___".
A. 悬挂 B. 插入 C. 装饰 D. 拴，绑
4.What can we know from the text?
A. Linen is only used to make Chinese summer clothing.
B. Nylon was one material for ancient Chinese clothing.
C. Lots of contemporary Chinese clothing is made from synthetic fibers.
D. The materials for contemporary Chinese clothing are produced by other countries.

In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute and the tap is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.
Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.
A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.
1.The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph3) most probably means______.
A．perfection B．fault C．preference D．advantage
2.Since the new system has performed, ______ of water can be saved.
A．one half B．one third C．a quarter D．two thirds
3.It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A．the new operation can solve the water crisis.
B．The university has saved a lot of water by using the new system.
C．a similar operation has been set in other universities.
D．The new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness system.
4.In which column can you find this passage?
A．People. B．Society C．Campus Life. D．Lifestyle
