My grandmother became a wi
dow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 36 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 37 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 38 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 39 to each other, but 
that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 40 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer
41 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 42 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 43 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 44 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was 45 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was 46 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 47 Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 48 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not 49 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she 50 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 51 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the 52 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her 53 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her 54 companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s 55 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

A recent study shows that gossip（流言蜚语）is more powerful than truth. It suggests people believe what they hear through the grapevine(小道消息) 36 they have evidence to the contrary.
Researchers, 37 students using a computer game, also found gossip played an important role when people 38 decisions. “We show that gossip has a strong 39 , even when people have 40 to the original information as well as gossip abo
ut the same information. Thus, it is 41 that gossip has a strong controlling potential,” said Ralf Sommerfeld, who led the study.
In the study, the researchers 42 the students money and allowed them to give it to others in a series of rounds. The students also wrote 43 about how others played the game that everyone could review. Students tended to give 44 money to people described as “scrooges (吝啬鬼)” and more to those described as “ 45 players”. “People only believed the gossip, not the past decisions,” Sommerfeld said in a telephone interview.
The researchers then took the game a step 46 and showed the students the actual decisions people had made. But they also supplied false gossip that contradicted that 47 . In these cases, the students 48 their decisions to award money on the gossip, 49 the hard evidence.
“If you know what the people did, you should care, but they still 50 what others said,” Sommerfeld said. Researchers have 51 used similar games to study how people cooperate and the 52 of gossip in groups. Scientists define gossip 53 social information spread about a person who is not 54 . In evolutionary terms, gossip can be an important tool for people to 55 information about others' reputations or find the way through social networks at work and in their everyday lives.

Today’ s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries. There are ______36 with AmericanEnglish, with British English, with idioms or slang, and 37 with pictures. One of the most 38______dictionaries I have seen among many students is the 39______ electronic dictionary. All you have to do is to ______40 a word in your language and you can see it and 41______ it in English. That* s great, right? Well, I think it* s great, too…but only sometimes.
Bilingual electronic dictiooaries are fast and ______42 . They can be great 43 you are traveling and need information quickly. 44______ I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual 45______dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.
When you reach an intermediate(中等的）level of English, you know 46 ______of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head ______47 time. You should be translating as little as possible and 48 ______in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students should 49 ______an English-English dictionary that is made ______50 for your understanding. For example，Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press has good dictionaries for students and 51______ publishing houses do, too.
I also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, 
they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you______ 52 seems to stay in your head longer. It may be______ 53 you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore "see it" more clearly in your ______54 .
So what do you do if you have checked an English - English dictionary and still don ’ t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to
try to ___55 in English a s much as possible.
