At my clinic(诊所), I work long days on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and short days on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sunday is my day off so I can spend some time with my family. My clerk opens the door, turns on some music, and makes everyone a cup of tea or coffee. My assistant cleans and feeds the animals. The phones start to ring and people make appointments. This is a very busy time of day!
At 9 am, pet owners start to arrive with their sick pets. Appointments take up the whole morning. I don’t examine(检查) any new sick animals. I use these two hours to have lunch and do all my paperwork.
At 2 pm. I start to see sick animals again. At 5 pm, three students from a local school l who love animals arrive to help out. I am always happy to see their smiling faces!
From 5 pm to 7pm, I continue to see sick animals. Then, at 7 pm, we close our doors and the clean-up begins! We tidy the clinic, and feed and clean the animals. Of course, we also stroke(轻抚) them and give them hugs! Then, we turn off the lights and go home. I’m very happy being a vet, though unexpected things sometimes happen!
| A.Do you like pets? B.It is fun being a vet. C.At midday,I stop for two hours. D.Animals are not easy to deal with. E.My day at my clinic begins at 7 am. F.This is the type of the day I want to have. G.They are very kind and warm-hearted. |
To help the environment, many Americans have made the change from paper and plastic bags to reusable grocery bags. But a report by a Florida newspaper says that reusable grocery bags sold by some supermarkets contain high levels of lead(铅). Lead is a metal that can be harmful to humans, especially young children. Now, Senator Charles Schumer is asking the US government to investigate(调查) the use of lead in reusable shopping bags.
“When our families go to the grocery store looking for safe and healthy foods to feed their kids, the last thing they should have to worry about is poisonous bags.” Schumer said, “A quick investigation will allow everyone to make informed, timely decisions.” Schumer added.
Lead in the bags is not likely to rub off on food. But over time, paint on the bags can chip and the bags can wear out. When this happens, lead can be released(释放).
The Tampa Tribune newspaper said certain bags sold at Publix and Winn-Dixie supermarkets had lead levels that were a concern(担忧) to health officials. The affected bags were found in Florida. But Publix has more than 1,000 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Sough Carolina and Tennessee. Publix says that all of its bags are under current laws about lead content, but that they have asked the makers of the bags to reduce the lead levels in the product.
The bags with the highest levels of lead had fancy designs and many pictures. Plain reusable bags without decoration were found to contain little lead. Consumers worried about lead levels in reusable bags can change to cloth or string bags. Paper bags are also a good choice, since paper can be recycled(回收).
Since 2007, Publix supermarkets have sold more than 13 million reusable bags. The store says because shoppers have made the change to reusable bags, it has saved more than 1 billion paper and plastics bags.The shopping bags containing high levels of lead ________.
| A．have been reported by a newspaper |
| B．have been stopped by the government |
| C．have stopped people from using reusable bags |
| D．have caused serious health damage to customers |

| A．reusable bags do little harm to kids’ health |
| B．people have shown much concern for the reusable bags |
| C．people will be informed of the facts about the reusable bags |
| D．people should refuse to buy things from supermarkets |
It can be inferred from the text that Publix might believe that the bags they sold are _____.
| A．dependable | B．convenient | C．harmful | D．popular |
Customers are advised to choose bags ________.
| A．with colorful designs | B．with fancy pictures |
| C．made of plastic | D．made of paper |
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships do not last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules. Be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money on your clothes, of course. Instead, you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. Naturally, you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later, every one needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend, you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity, and understanding.Some friendships don’t last very long because ________.
| A．they don’t know friendship is something serious. |
| B．there are too many people who want to make friends. |
| C．those who give others friendship receive friendship from others. |

One warm September night, Mira had come down to the beach to enjoy the night air. She closed her eyes and listened to the waves. Suddenly, she could hear another sound, so she opened her eyes and looked down at the sand. It was moving! All of a sudden she could see a tiny head coming out. Then a turtle(龟) appeared! One by one they struggled out of their underground nests. Mira looked in surprise at the baby turtles.
Mira knew the turtles should head towards the waves and swim away, so she was puzzled when they began to pull themselves towards the dunes(沙丘). Suddenly, she remembered something her grandmother had told her.

Sometimes they die going across the dunes, trying to find those bright lights on the houses. Every day there are more houses being built on the dunes. That means more and more lights to confuse the sea turtles.”
Mira looked out across the dunes at her house. Mira saw her mother and father, sitting on the porch(门廊). She could see them because her house had two bright lights that lit up the porch.
Mira began to run to her house and shouted, “The turtles are hatching! We have to help the turtles!” With these words, Mira ran into the house and turned off the bright porch lights.
In a rush she was off running down the dunes with her whole family following her. They reached the beach just in time to see the tiny turtles slipping silently into the waves. Mira watched as the last turtle entered the water. As the turtle swam away, it looked back at Mira. In the moonlight, Mira thought she saw it smile.Where did the story happen?

I finished my last work of the week and could hardly wait to get home, take off my nursing shoes, and relax.
As I approached(走近) my 36 , I saw one of my 37 standing by the bus stop. I thought it would only take a couple of extra minutes to give her a ride home, and besides, it was 38 cold to be standing outside on the coldest 39 in January. I didn’t know where she lived, but I was 40 I would be able to find my way back.
We 41 about our work as I drove and before we knew it, we arrived at 42 house. I started driving back. 43 looked familiar, but at first that didn’t bother me. But soon I 44 something wrong. I 45 nothing. But I told myself to stay 46 .
I was beyond neighborhoods, streets and 47 streetlights. I no longer knew where I was now. How could I be so stupid! I looked down at my 48 . It was now 2:30 a.m. My gas was slowly running out. I 49 the car and turned off the engine. In total defeat, I put my head down on the wheel, 50 . Then I raised my head and 51 a shadow down the road in front of me. I turned my headlights on. A car! I drove a little 52 , got out of my car and knocked on the window of that car. An elderly man 53 rolled his window down.
I said that I didn’t know how to get back into town. In silence, he started driving. I ran back to my car and drove 54 him. Finally I recognized a(n) 55 street. As I turned to head home, the car disappeared. Then I pulled into my driveway (车道) when the warning light for my gas tank (汽油箱) turned on.
Though so many years have passed, I still thank the old man from my deepest heart.
