I’ve always known that dogs are clever, but even I was surprised when I heard about a dog called Red, at the Battersea Dog’s Home in London.

The home has been caring for lost and unwanted animals for over 140 years. Recently, the workers there got amazed when they came to work in the morning. They found that some of the dogs had got out of their kennels(狗窝) during the night, opened cupboards and taken out of food and toys. And it happened again, and again. The manager described how as many as nine dogs were escaping every night. “When we came in, dogs were running around having fun and games and causing a lot of mess. We couldn’t understand it.”

Someone or something was unlocking the kennels during the night. The manager decided that the only way to know the truth was to put in cameras to record how the dogs were getting out.

When she and her workers played back the recording, they saw Red, a three-year-old dog, put his nose through the bars of his kennel and use his teeth to press the button that opened the door. That was clever enough, but Red did more: he unlocked the kennels next to his and let the dogs out too. The group broke into cupboards and stole dog biscuits and toys to play with.

The manager said, “It’s surprising that Red worked out how to open his own kennel, but also that he then let all his friends out.” I suppose, Red didn’t like to party alone.

The story has a happy ending: after Red was shown on TV, several people came and offered to give him a new home as a family pet.

1.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To ask people to look after unwanted dogs.

B. To describe dogs escaping from the Dog’s Home.

C. To give an example of how clever a dog can be.

D. To introduce the work done by the Battersea Dog’s Home.

2.What did Red do after he go out of his kennel at night?

A. He slept in a cupboard.

B. He let the other dogs out.

C. He took biscuits and toys back to the other dogs.

D. He showed the other dogs how to unlock their doors.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. Red didn’t like being at the Dog’s Home.

B. Red and his friends had a good time when they escaped.

C. Red and his friends enjoyed being recorded by the cameras.

D. Red and the other dogs escaped because they were hungry.

I began to look for work after I finished the school last year. Now several month later, I still hadn’t found the job I was interested.

The birth of the black tea and the first to reach the Western world from Fujian originated by accident. A Chinese army happened to stop by a tea farm in the late Ming Dynasty (1368—1644) and the soldiers slept on raw tea leaves which were intended for green tea making. Helpless and eager to avoid further loss, the anxious tea producer roasted the withered (枯萎的) tea leaves immediately afterwards, with pine branches, ending up with a deep colored tea, which produced bright red soup, a smoky taste and sweet flavour. To the tea farmer's surprise, the taste and flavour became a hit in the market, and the whole area started to make the kind of tea to satisfy market demand.

Around the end of the 16th century, Dutch business people took tea to Europe. Catherine of Braganza, when she married British King Charles Ⅱ in 1662, took the tea drinking habit from Portugal to the British court.

It was hard to say if people in the United Kingdom had the choice of drinking green tea, because it is said that after long sea transportation, green tea from China naturally fermented (发酵) into black tea. At the time British people still didn't know that black tea and green tea are made from the same leaves, so Scottish botanist Robert Fortune (1812—1880) met with disbelief when he pointed out that only a different processing method made black tea and green tea different.

Fortune was sent by the East India Company to steal tea from China. He took more than 20,000 tea plants and seedlings to India in 1851. Although most of the tea plants he introduced to India are said to have died, trained Chinese tea workers he took there are believed to have equipped the country with the necessary technology and knowledge for tea making.

1.The tea farmer invented red tea ________.

A. to get a better taste

B. to please the soldiers

C. to avoid losing more money

D. to satisfy market demand

2.According to the text, British people ________.

A. preferred green tea to black tea in the 17th century

B. made green tea transported from China into black tea

C. was the first in Europe to have the habit of drinking tea

D. thought black tea and green tea were made from different leaves

3.What did Fortune do according to the text?

A. He trained workers to make tea.

B. He brought tea plants and seedlings to Britain.

C. He learned knowledge and skills to make different kinds of tea.

D. He did something illegal for the East India Company.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. The technology for tea making.

B. The origin of black tea.

C. The tradition of drinking tea in Britain.

D. The difference between black tea and green tea.

How to manage your time

For many high school students it seems that there is never enough time. There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.

First, make a to-do list every day. It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities(优先的事物). 1.

Use spare time wisely. Do you have a study hall(自习时间)? Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework. 2. If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.

Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school. Review your notes every day. 3. If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.

4. Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory. When you are tired, everything seems more difficult. It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.

Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you. 5. you can call your friends later.

A. Set goals(目标) for yourself.

B. Get a good night’s sleep.

C. Do the most important tasks first.

D. Also, do not be afraid to say “no”.

E. You should finish your homework on time.

F. Don’t take phone calls during the time you set aside or work.

G. Don’t wait until just before a test to try and remember everything.
