    What kind of pets do people have in your country? Dogs? Cats? How about a duck, hippo or lion? Here are two cases of animal owners with unusual pets.

    Barrie Hayman has a pet duck called Star. Barrie adopted (领养) him after his brothers and sisters stayed away from him at birth. Barrie, a duck breeder, realized the little duck needed special attention. So he began taking Star with him everywhere he went. “I would put him in my pocket while I did my shopping,” said Barrie. Now, at five months, Star is too big for Barrie’s pocket, but the two are still inseparable. They watch sports together and even share a drink together. Barrie said, “He is one fantastic duck. I’ve never known any like him.” Star even has his own Facebook page, with more than 2,000 Facebook friends.

    Then there’s the case of Tonie and Shirley Joubert in South Africa. They live with their pet hippo, Jessica. Tonie saved Jessica from floodwaters when she was only a day old. Jessica lives outside their riverside house, but she knows how to open the kitchen door, and often goes there for a snack. Tonie recently said, “I don’t know whether Jessica sees me as a hippo or whether she sees herself as a human.” Shirley is more certain, “Jessica sees herself as our child and I see Jessica as my daughter. I can’t imagine my life without Jessica.” Jessica is free to leave, and often visits wild hippos that live nearby. But she always returns home at night. Jessica’s website notes that she has three hippo boyfriends, but one in particular, Fred, is her favorite. They often go grazing (吃青草) together and Fred has recently moved onto the Jouberts’ house as well.

    B. Some unusual pets are adopted by people.

    C. People should take good care of their pets.

    2.What does the underlined word “inseparable” in Paragraph 2 mean?

    3.Barrie took Star everywhere he went because .

    A. he had never seen a duck like Star

    B. he set up a Facebook page for Star

    C. he wanted to care more about Star

    D. he needed Star to drink with him

    4. We can learn from the passage that Jessica .

    A. came to the Jouberts’ home when she was 5 months old

    B. loves eating in the Jouberts’ kitchen

    C. doesn’t see herself as a human being

    Forgiveness

    Forgiveness is a quality that is difficult to possess. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

    1. Try the following steps：

    Calm yourself. 2. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

    Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.

    3. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

    Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

    4. If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

    Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5. But it can rob you of your self-­confidence if you don’t do it.

    A. How should you start to forgive?

    B. Why should you forgive?

    C. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

    D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

    E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

    F. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

    G. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress­management technique.

    As the capital of China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an's long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide: "If Xi'an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. "

    However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi'an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.

    One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Xi'an's most sacred (神圣的) monument-which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang ,who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966,the Red Guards burnt the pagoda's scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders-the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city's skyline.

    Xi'an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical gardens, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures ,philosophers and poets.

    A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi'an's most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 221BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labour of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum(陵庙) guarded by an entire army.

    1.From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi'an is being ploughed into .

    A. restoring the monuments

    B. restoring the Pagoda

    C. tourism industry

    D. exploring the history

    2. How many historical sites in Xi'an have been referred to in the passage?

    A. Three. B. Four. C. One. D. Six.

    3. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph about the Tang Paradise Theme Park?

    A. Visitors are pleased with the survivals from the Tang Dynasty.

    B. The natural waterfalls in it are very attractive.

    C. It is totally recreated but is artistically pleasant.

    D. Visitors can appreciate the full Tang Dynasty operas.

    4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A. Make a visit to ancient sites at once.

    B. China's ancient capital rises again.

    C. Travel to the Army of Terracotta Warriors.

    D. Take a view in the modern city.

    Five Ways Animals Help Us Live a Happier life

    Have you ever thought about the role of pets on this planet? They are not just animals; they’re creatures of God that make us feel happier in this world.There are several way pets can help us live a happier life.

    Pets are the most devoted creatures

    1. Old and wise people often joke that if you want to find a real friend and be sure that they’ll never betray（背叛you, then start keeping a pet.

    They teach us to become better

    Pets are very sensitive and wise creatures. 2. Unlike people, animals don’t create problems out of nothing. They are free of negative thoughts and inner pain. Their pure hearts are made for loving their owners. People should learn to love, care and smile selflessly, like their pets usually do.

    3.

    It may seem strange, but pets have the power to heal both physical and mental human disorders. Thousands of real stories prove their healing ability. It’s scientifically proved that many pets, especially cats can feel the emotions of their owners and soothe physical and mental pain.

    They make us more organized

    I must confess that several years ago I was a bit unorganized person. 4. When Johnson appeared in my life, I became more organized, because I felt myself responsible for his life. All kinds of pets require a lot of attention and care. That’s why their owners should be more active in order to bring up a wonderful and healthy pet.

    Pets can feel danger and save us

    The research proves that pets can feel danger in advance. Pets begin to behave strange when they feel danger, trying to give their owners a sign that something terrible is going to happen. 5.

    A. Whenever you are in a bad mood, pets are always there for you.

    B. If you’re a responsible person, but suffer from lack of self-organization, then keep a pet.

    C. I found it difficult to manage my time and life according to the schedule.

    D. Pets can heal the wounds of our soul and body

    E. Nowadays I meet more and more people totally disappointed in human friendship and love.

    F. It seems to me that they know the truth of life.

    G. That’s why owners should be more attentive to notice the signs given by their pets
