A

Dear Mom,

I haven’t written before for quite a while because I have got no energy. I now get around my room and this floor of the hospital with a walking stick but I can go only a little bit at a time because I’m awfully weak yet. My right leg was taken out of the cast (石膏) several days ago and it’s still as stiff as a board and awfully sore from so much carving around the knee joint. But the surgeon says that eventually it will be all right. I’ve included a picture of me in bed. It looks like my left leg is a stump (残肢), but it really isn’t. Just bent so it looks that way.

This war makes us a bit less fools than we were. There isn’t going to be any such thing as “foreigners” for me after the war is won. I’ve gotten Italian pretty well. I’ve picked up quite a lot of Polish and my French is improving. You want to be prepared for a lot of visitors after the war now because I’ve a lot of pals coming to see me in Chicago. I don’t know when I’ll be back. I can’t get in the army and they won’t take me with two shaky legs in the draft (征兵) if I go home. So I might as well stay over here and avoid the awkwardness for a while.

Also Ma, I’m in love again. Now don’t start worrying about me getting married for I’m not. I’m not even going to get engaged. So don’t write any “God Bless U, My Children”: Not for about 10 years. You’re a dear old kid, and still my best girl. God bless you and write me often I love you.

Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie(牧羊犬) named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 24. From paragraph 2 we know that _________ . A. animals are as clever as human beings

B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children 25. Both experiments show that ___________.

A. Rico can recognize different things including toys B. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them 26. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.

B. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.

C. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

D. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities. 27. What does the writer want to tell us?

A. To train your dog. B. To be friendly to your dog. C. To talk to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.

C

Customers chat, read the newspaper and order sandwiches and drinks at August First Bakery & Café in Burlington, Vermont, but there's something different here. “I was here working on my laptop when I looked over and saw that there was a sign that said ‘laptop-free’” says Luna Colt, a student at the University of Vermont. During a recent visit, Colt was shocked that using her computer was against the rules.

When owner Jodi Whalen first opened it four years ago, she offered free Wi-Fi to

customers. Students like Colt went there in large numbers and started typing away—and staying all day. “We saw a lot of customers come in, look for a table, not be able to find one and leave,” Whalen says. “It was money flowing out of the door for us.” That's why Whalen decided there'd be no more screens. It was a gradual move. She started by shutting down the Wi-Fi two years ago. Then, the café banned screens

during lunch. “A lot of people were bummed out,” Whalen says. “But we actually saw our sales increase.”

What's socially acceptable when it comes to using a laptop in public? Luna Colt thinks it's about how much money you spend. “You should buy something every two hours if you're going to be here and just work all day,” Colt says. “As long as you're being a good customer,” she says, “there's nothing wrong with working on a laptop.” Not quite, according to Whalen. “It's less about how much a laptop user buys, and more about table space. Even if they think they're a good customer because they buy food, they're still here for long hours,” she says. “To walk into a place and see people looking at their screens with a blank stare, it takes away the community aspect of it—of you being in a place with other people,” Whalen adds. 28. Why is August First Bakery & Café different? A. It is only open to university students. B. It offers unusual sandwiches and drinks. C. Those who visit the café are often very strange. D. Customers are not allowed to use their laptops.

29. The underlined words “bummed out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “_____”． A. grateful B. disappointed C. fortunate D. frightened 30. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Luna Colt is not popular with Jodi Whalen. B. Luna Colt agrees with what the owner did.
