A
There has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容师) tried to trim(修剪) its claws.
Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Mab counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, “ I would like to buy her a new dog.”
A story about the death of Crouch’s pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Mab Daily. Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can’t do that.” Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
“This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待),” Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.
People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebea Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, “We have puppies to donate … and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”
“When Gooch was with me, I was happy,” Crouch said, “I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.”

What's your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular in the UK. It began in 1970 and was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an admission price of £1 including free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength --- in 2004 one hundred and fifty thousand fans attended, paying £112 for tickets to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Acts included veteran superstars, such as Paul Martney and James Brown, as well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone. Although many summer festivals are run on a profit-making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event, donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money for global poverty. In July of this year, the Live 8 concerts will be held simultaneously in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Superstars, such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder will perform in order to highlight international poverty and debt.
24. What does the author mean by saying “the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength” in the fourth paragraph?
A. The festival has achieved growing suess.
B. Great efforts have been made to hold the festival.
C. The festival has brought in a large amount of money.
D. There have been thousands of fans attending the festival

B. Tickets for the 2004 Glastonbury Festival were in great demand despite the high price.
C. Both James Brown and Joss Stone were born in poor families.
D. In the 1970 Glastonbury Festival, one could have lunch on the farm for free.
26. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
A. the Glastonbury Festival is not so popular as the Live 8 concerts
B. the Live 8 concerts are held every year in London.
C. London, Paris, Rome and Berlin are famous for outdoor music festivals
D. some superstars are concerned about global poverty.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to have a good time
B. Charity events around the world
C. The Glastonbury Festival
D. Superstars’ performances in charity events

After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.
When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, over more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(饱和脂肪).
"People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Cheryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington. "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.
Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem. "In American society today, being American is associated with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.
28. Aording to the survey, _____.
A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.
B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.
C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situation
D. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.
29. The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_____”
A. food offered as a meal B. a person taking a taxi
C. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do
30. Aording to Sauna Cheryan, ________.
A. what immigrants have done is ridiculous
B. American traditional foods are healthier
C. immigrants risk their health in order to fit in
D. American culture affects immigrants deeply
31. Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eating habit?
A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional culture
C. The American governmentD. The pressures from society
D
Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes （酶） that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it bees increasingly acidic. To protect its vital ans from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the ans.
Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely away from the ans as fat, or the remains of undigested food will bee acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism （新陈代谢）bees inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity.
The aumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can bee acidic and the food allergies will bee more mon.
To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already aumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid aumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach.
32. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.
A. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
B. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
C. it is essential for people to protect their vital ans
D. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
33. Processed foods are unhealthy because they __________.
A. destroy body’s cells B. may lead to obesity
C. are difficult to digest D. stop body’s metabolism
34. What is the main purpose of this passage？
A. To warn people of the problem of obesity.
B. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.
C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.
D. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.
35. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragraph？
A. Different causes of acid aumulation. B. Correct ways to cook raw foods.
C. Suitable types of raw and whole foods. D. Active approaches to avoid acid.

Saving money while traveling

Moreover, the expenses increase quickly when your kids are with you. 38 You can use the money saved on good food and amusement.

A guide map. Make a guide map about the places to visit, expenses of travel and the activities to try. While planning you should also estimate (估计) your total expenses.

Today we are going to look into the effects of noise on a house in a particularly difficult part of our city.
This site is not as bad as we thought. The airport nearly is closed from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. And this is a great advantage to the site. The only noise after dark is from the highway, and the traffic is somewhat reduced between 7:30 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. So the people most affected by the noise will be, I expect, housewives. By the time most of the students and workers have arrived back home in the evening during the week, the noise will have decreased to a fairly large extent. The weekends are still a problem of course, but the traffic is certainly reduced on Saturdays to a large extent and even more on Sundays.
Of course changes to houses will be necessary at a significant cost to the developer and the home buyer. The changes I am about to outline will add about $ 25,000 to the price of a newly-built house. That will still mean a cheaper house than in a less noisy and more desirable area.
