  It’s a typical Snoopy card:cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now.Although I’ve received fancier, more expensive cards over the years, this is the only one I’ve   1  .One summer, it spoke volumes to me.

  I received it   2   the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenager daughters alone.In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single   3  , I even had difficulty in the simplest housework:leaky taps, oil changes, even barbecues.Those had always been my husband’s   4  .I was embarrassed every time I   5   my thumb with a hammer.My uncertain attempts only   6   the fear inside me:How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I   7   the tools and skills.

  That morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something.(I prayed it wasn’t   8   repair job.)The ‘something’ turned out to be an   9   and several wrapped things on the carpet.My   10   must have been plain as I stared from the colorful packages to my daughters’   11   faces.

  ‘Go ahead! Open them!’ they urged.As I   12   the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill(烤架)and all the necessary   13   including a green kitchen glove.

  ‘But why?’ I asked.

  ‘Happy Father’s Day!’ they shouted together.

  ‘Moms don’t get presents on Father’s Day,’ I said.

  ‘You forgot to open the   14  ,’ Jane reminded.I pulled it from the envelope.There sat Snoopy, merrily wishing me a Happy Father’s Day.‘Because,’ the girls said, ‘you’ve been a father and mother to us, why shouldn’t you be   15   on Father’s Day?’

  Dogs and millionaires have a lot in common. They are absolute opportunists (especially when it comes to rewards). They defend their territory(地盘). And in general, they don’t like cats. Perhaps that explains a new survey showing that millionaires are far more dog-friendly than the rest of Americans.

  According to a study by Spectrem Group, 58% of millionaire pet owners have a dog. Only 37% own a cat. Only 3% keep fish, 2% birds and 2% have a horse. Similarly, 39% of U. S. households own a dog, compared to 33% of households owning a cat, released by the Humane Society,

  Jennifer Cona, a trust and estates attorney(信托和资产律师) and partner with Genser Subow Genser & Cona in New York, does a lot of work on pet trusts. She said of all the pet trusts she’s worked on, 90% are for dogs and only 10% are for cats.

  She said dogs provide one thing especially important for the wealthy: unconditional love.

  “You don’t get that from a cat,” she said, “Dogs are like children for some families, except that they don’t mess up in college or run off with money. Sometimes it’s easy to see why dogs are the favorite child.”

  Millionaires show their love for their dogs in part by their spending. One quarter of millionaire pet owners spend more than $1, 000 a year on their pets every year, the Spectrem study said, while more than half spend more than $500 a year.

  Many would say those numbers are understated, given all the diamond-dog collars, dog foods and booming dog spas in evidence these days, not to mention the medical bills.

  The survey showed 34% of pet owners spend money on decorating, while only 6% spend on “sweaters, outfits and costumes.”

More than half of millionaire pet owners spend money on teeth cleaning for their pets. More than 16%, meanwhile, said they would spend money on reconstructive surgeries and “anti-anxiety, anti-depression” medication for their pets.

72. What is the passage mainly about?

  A. Millionaires like dogs more than other Americans.

  B. Keeping dogs as pets is quite popular among Americans.

  C. Pet dogs help relieve their owners’ anxiety and depression.

  D. Millionaires spend much money on teeth cleaning for their pets.

73. From the survey by Spectrem Group, we can learn ___________.

  A. about one third of American households own a cat

  B. more than half of millionaire pet owners have a dog

  C. millionaire pet owners spend $1, 000 on their pets daily

  D. 34% of pet owners spend money on dog clothing

74. What’s the main reason why millionaires show great love for their dogs?

  A. They can afford the high expense to raise pet dogs.

  B. Pet dogs have never made a mess of things around.

  C. Millionaires feel more secure in company of dogs.

  D. Pet dogs show unconditional love for their owners.

75. What does Jennifer Cona probably think of millionaires owning pet dogs ?

  A. Ridiculous.     B. Acceptable.    C. Negative.      D. Indifferent.

  Here are some tips we've put together to help you learn English well.

  Ⅰ.SPEAK! SPEAK! SPEAK! Practice speaking as often as you can---even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can.Compare your pronunciation with the master version(原版).See how you can do better and have another go.If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.

  Ⅱ.WHY NOT LEARN WITH SOMEONE ELSE? It helps you a lot if you can learn with someone else.If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working.

  Ⅲ.DON'T GET STUCK BY A WORD YOU DON'T KNOW.Practice improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地), even if you don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time.Use facial expressions, hand movements, and anything to get your meaning across.

  Ⅳ.LANGUAGE LEARNING IS ALSO ABOUT INTUITION(直觉).Guesswork is an important way to learn a new language.When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything the first time around.If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time.

  Ⅴ.BUILD YOUR VOCAVULARY.A wide vocabulary is the key to understand language learning but don't try to learn too much at once.It's best to study frequently for short periods of time.Take at most six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them every day.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to them later.

  Ⅵ.AND ABOVE ALL, HAVE FUN!

(1)

The purpose of recording themselves when practicing speaking is _________.

[  ]

A.

to improve their speaking

B.

to record their own progress

C.

to encourage others to follow

D.

to compare themselves with others

(2)

In the author's opinion, which of the following is the most important for learning English?

Study for an approaching exam

  Studying hard for a few days can be tiring, but it always pays off! Most people can clearly recall the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was near.If you’re in this situation, don't worry.Many people have proven that there is still enough time to study, if you do it properly.Here are some strategies to help you.

  Calm down! Fear will only make your situation worse.  1   Many times, fear can even hurt your chances of doing well in the exam.If you are nervous, take deep breaths, and tell yourself that you can do this.

  Study the most important topics first.Exams usually cover a few main ideas, concepts, or skills.When you are short of time, focus your energies on the key areas.Review the highlighted topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher stressed repeatedly.  2  

  Determine what subjects you don't know enough about.  3   The parts you know more about still need reviewing, but they will come to you more easily.So try to focus on the more challenging topics.

    4   You don't get extra points for going it alone.Classmates can be helpful in studying, and choose someone who will be able to help you.Ask for help from your parents, brothers or sisters.  5   From a study group.Not only do you have additional help, you also have the advantage of studying with people you know well.

A.Do more study on these topics.

B.Studying together can be helpful.

C.They may really appreciate being asked.

D.This way, you will for sure get a better grade.

E.You will be focusing on the horror, not the coming exam.

F.They are all clues as to what are really the vital topics.

G.Realize that last-minute studying is not the best way to study.
