Many pets got separated from their families almost two years ago, when Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast. A New Jersey family was one of them. They lost their dog. He got away from their  backyard during the storm.
Chuck James said that his family searched for the brown-and-white dog named Reckless for  months after the October 2012 storm. Reckless was a cute dog which brought much pleasure to the  whole family, and the youngest daughter Tiffany loved him most. They played together, watched TV together, ate popcorn together and Reckless even saw Tiffany off when she headed for the kindergarten every morning. Chuck James kept searching for the lovely dog in every possible way, but no luck
"We reported him missing and called the shelters from time to time, just hoping they had  him," James said. "We always kept our hopes up, but finally it was time to move on.”
James said the family had planned to get a new dog. The dog was to be a tenth birthday surprise for their eldest daughter, Ally. The family of five went to the Monmouth County SPCA( Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to adopt a new animal. When James and his wife walked  close to the first cage, they saw a familiar face inside.
“He was a little bigger than I remembered because they had fed him well," James joked.  "But then he was lying on my wife's feet and I knew it was him. It was unbelievable. I know this dog is meant to be with our family.”
When SPCA officials asked if they could prove the animal was their dog, a friend sent a selfie showing the family, with their dog before Sandy hit the East Coast.
“We’re all so happy to have him back." James said.  The family is living in hotel while their  home is being repaired. This weekend, the James went on camping trip with Reckless to celebrate the dog’s return
What happened to the James when Super Storm Sandy hit the East Coast?

Having searched for Reckless for months , the James found him in ____.

The meaning of the underlined word "selfie" is closest to "______ "

What is the text mainly about?

The modern world is full of useful objects that were invented by someone, from spoons and  chopsticks in our kitchens to the Ipads in our handbags. Each invention is an example of the creative power of the human mind. Where do inventors get their inspirations(灵感)? The inspiration behind  each of these inventions varies.
Take the shopping cart as an example. Sylvan Goldman was a grocery store owner. Like most businessmen, he wished that his customers would buy more so that he could make more money. He knew what if they could carry more goods easily as they were shopping, when his sales would go up. While thinking about the problem one night, he had an idea. Working with a local handyman named  Fred Young, he designed the first shopping cart. Today, retailers who use shopping carts sell more goods and make more profits.
Nature has also inspired inventors throughout history. This is what happened to George de  Mestral one day. While hunting with his dog in the Swiss Alps, he noticed how the burs(剌球) of  certain plants stuck to his clothing and to his dog' s fur. After examining them under a microscope,
he found they had tiny hooks that could easily stick to the fibers of clothing or animal hide. For the next ten years, George de Mestral searched for the hest way to produce his idea. The result of his original inspiration was Velcro, which is used in many modem objects, including sportswear, shoes, automobiles, and even space suits.
These examples show us that there are at least two possible inspirations for human creativity in  the world of inventions — profit and nature. No doubt, the future will continue to breathe new life into the economies of the world with fresh ideas and inventions. How many of their creations will be inspired by natural phenomena? The world's problems require creativity and we can expect best solutions from future generations.
Why did sales go up in Sylvan Goldman's grocery store after he began providing shopping carts?

According to the article, which invention shows how nature inspires us?

Which of the following statements would the author most likely disagree with?

The World Health Organization reports a number of people have died of the Ebola virus in central Africa during the last few months. Ebola, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic (出血) fever or Ebola viral disease, is a rare and deadly illness with high death rates in humans and primates. The natural source of Ebola virus remains unknown, although bats seem to be the most likely source.
The Ebola virus began spreading after victims were discovered in northeastern Gabon. So far, it is the third time Ebola has spread through Gabon since 1994. Health officials believe people moving across the border spread the disease from Gabon to Congo. Ebola is highly infectious and kills up to 80% of its victims. Researchers do not know the method with which the virus first appears in humans, but they believe it is through infected animals. The disease then spreads from person to person through blood and other body liquids.
Ebola victims treated early have the base chance of survival. Signs of Ebola include a high temperature, diarrhea, muscle pains and bleeding inside the body, in severe cases, victims experience chest pains and death. There is no known cure for the disease and no way yet to prevent it.
Scientists at the American National institutes of Health are working to develop a vaccine(疫苗) to prevent Ebola. Doctor Cary Nobel is leading the research effort at N-l-H testing center in the eastern state of Maryland. He says that during the past two years, the vaccine has been tested on small animals and monkeys for safety and effectiveness.
In the most recent study, four monkeys who had been given the vaccine were completely protected from a deadly injection of the Ebola virus. The study was described in November in Nature magazine. Doctor Nobel says the tests appear to have moved scientists one step closer to a vaccine for humans.
Where does the Ebola virus come from?

When infected with Ebola virus, people may experience the following except ____.
A. heart attack                    B. a rise in temperature
C. chest pains                     D  bleeding inside the body
What can we learn from the passage?

What is Doctor Nobel's attitude towards the tests?

Tips to Ease Migraines
If you've ever experienced migraine headache, you know that it's no walk in the park. Migraines are very painful type of headache, often felt on one or both sides of a head. Some people experience migraines every now and then, while others get them more than once a week.   Although they are not dangerous to life, migraines can seriously affect one's ability to function throughout the day. Here are four tips for easing migraines:
1. Learn to manage. Migraines are often caused by stress, so try not to get stressed out easily. Learning stress management techniques can reduce and even prevent the pain of a migraine headache. You can do this by taking a yoga lesson. If you prefer to practice relaxation at home, then try lying down on your bed or sofa and closing your eyes. Take slow, deep breaths and focus on  relaxing each muscle group one at a time until you hate relaxed every single muscle in your body.
2. Use ice massage(按摩). Another solution is the "ice massage". Put your fingers into ice-cold water and then press your temples(太阳穴) until the pain decreases.        
3. Drink lots and lots of water. You can also get migraines if your body lacks water. Avoid  dehydration by staying out of the sun and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Carry a water bottle with you.   
4.   When you have a migraine, lights and sound can sometimes be your worst enemy. Close your curtains, turn out the lights, and remember to turn off the TV.

E. Avoid bright lights and loud noises.
F. Avoid using the computer for too long and going to bed late at night.
G. About 6 in every 100 people regularly experience migraine headaches.

She       at me with those big brown eyes and said sadly. "Well, Daddy. it cost 50 cents. So, I gave Brandon my      . " Then she said the most          thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto “      is action!” She had given Brandon her quarter, and        loves little animals more than Helen.

Then we went back to the petting zoo. We stood        Brandon go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had 50 cents         a hole in my pocket. I never         it to Helen, and she never asked for it. Because she know the whole family        : Love always pays.
