11．These amazing animals prove that love lives on four legs．
A little girl's lifeline
Three-year-old Alida Knobloch and her 27kg golden dog，Mr．Gibbs，are almost together all the time．There is a special love between them．Alida，who suffered from serious lung （肺）disease when she was 10months old，is unable to breathe on her own for about 45minutes．So Mr．Gibbs has been with her everywhere，carrying 4.5kg of oxygen tanks for her．
A pig that calms kids
When Lois Brady，a famous doctor in America，visits special-needs students in San Francisco schools，she often brings along Buttercup，a black pig from Vietnam．The pig is very calm and friendly and has been trained to offer comfort （安慰） to patients as well．
A Lion's big heart
With paws the size of dinner plates，bright black eyes and a golden mane （鬃），Jupiter，a 13-year-old 250kg lion，was brought to the rescue （援救） center by Anna．In the past two years，Anna has developed a very close relationship with Jupiter．

10．At the present time，more and more people love travelling．It's a very good  w（71）ayof getting to know new people and cultures and acquiring（獲得）experiences．It helps travellers g（72）eta lot．Travel can make our minds become much w（73）ider．
But travel does more than all that．It can also make us more creative．In recent years，some professors have been doing r（74）esearch on what many people have already learned from travel experiences．They believe that spending time a（75）broad has affected people's mind．For example，they found that the students who lived in foreign countries for a longer period were better at s（76）olvingproblems creatively than those who did not．If you stay in the same place，you can't experience new sights，new smells，new sounds and new cultures．All these can w（77）akeup your mind and make it more active．H（78）owever，that doesn't mean the more places you've been，the more creative you'll become．Another group of professors have been doing  s（79）imilarresearch．They found the people who often travelled from one place to another didn't have enough time to immerse（使…沉浸）t（80）hemselvesin a new place and a new culture．They weren't as creative as the people who spent the time really getting to know a place．You have to interact with the places you go to and then you can benefit from it．

9．We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future．But are everybody's dreams the same？Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams，and thousands of students across China took part in it．
What are the hopes of teenagers？
We received several different answers to the question：What would you like to do after finishing your education？It seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible，so that they can help provide better lives for their parents．Other students hope to continue studying after finishing school and to go to university．Although money is important，many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy．According to the survey，the most popular choice of job is computer programming．
What are the dreams of teenagers？
Teenagers have all kinds of dreams．Some are more realistic（現(xiàn)實(shí)的） than others．For example，many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup，maybe working as translators or tour guides．And quite a few said they dream of going to the moon one day．According to the survey，less realistic dreams are also common，but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams．Quite a few dream of becoming famous，perhaps famous sports people or singers．Some said they'd like to go on exciting trips； one student said she'd love to sail across the Pacific Ocean．And then there are dreams that are impossible； three students said they'd like to be able to fly!
Conclusion
It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes．It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job．Besides，students dream of very different things：good things，and even crazy things．It is very important to dream，so hold on your dreams； one day they may just come true．

8．Women make up 50percent of world's population and yet they are not treated equally．They hold less than one-fifth of the all parliamentary （議會(huì)） seats around the world，occupy less than 19percent of board （董事會(huì)） seats in Fortune 500companies and earn 17percent less than men for similar skills and positions．As a group，they are passed over and looked down on．
On March 8 every year，millions of women around the world celebrate International Women's Day．It is possible that you may not have heard about the International Women's Day in the United States．Yet Women's Day had its origin in the United States．
Women's Day was first celebrated in February 1909in the US to mark the one-year anniversary of the New York Garment Worker's Strike of 1908．Women used the chance to fight against warring and fight for women's vote rights．
Did you know that it was a Women's Day protest in St．Petersburg in 1917，which led to the revolution （革命） for bringing down the Russian empire？After the Russian revolution，Women's Day came to be celebrated as a communist （共產(chǎn)主義的） or socialist （社會(huì)主義的） holiday．As a result，the United States government didn't accept it as a holiday．
Today Women's Day is celebrated in places such as China and Russia as a sort of state-approved Valentine's Day or Mother's Day．The tradition in these countries is to give flowers and gifts to the important women in one's life．
In 1975，the United Nations officially announced March 8as International Women's Day．Since then，it has been a practice to suggest an annual theme for each year．The theme for 2016is"Pledge For Parity．"It calls on women and men to challenge the present state and inspire positive change in their communities and workplaces．
There is a lot that needs to be done．As a society，we need to offer women and girls chances to make their dreams come true，have equal chances for leadership，respect and value differences，and develop a better work environment．This day challenges and reminds that everyone can be a leader in their own small way and can take positive steps to bring about gender equality．
Our world can truly be balanced when we use the potential that women have to offer．As we prepare children for the future，it is important that girls and women not be left behind．

Women's present situation	Women make up （56）half of the world's population．
	Women get（57）fewer chances and less money while working．
（58）History of Women's Day	It was first celebrated in the US in 1909．

7．An east China highway pile-up on April 2^nd has killed three people and injured 31others．That day was the first day of a three-day national holiday marking the Tomb-Sweeping Day．
Two people died in a local hospital where nine others are being treated．Another person died after treatment failed in a larger hospital in Wuxi where 22remain hospitalized，Changzhou traffic police updated on its official microblog account at Weibo．com．
The accident happened at the Changzhou section of the highway linking Shanghai and Nanjing．It drew public attention as people began posting photos and videos on Chinese social media WeChat and Weibo．Images showed dozens of trucks，buses and cars crashed into each other．People were standing on top of the vehicles．
Local police told Xinhua Press that at least two trucks，three buses and 20cars were involved．Rainy and foggy weather caused poor visibility and slippery roads．
What's more，it was difficult for ambulances （救護(hù)車）to get to the scene of the accident because the life emergency lane was filled with vehicles，which delayed the rescue of the injured．
The Ministry （部長(zhǎng)） of Public Security told traffic departments nationwide to keep a look out for vehicles using the emergency lane occupancy．
All highways in China leave the right lane as the emergency lane．Some drivers，however，pay no attention to this rule．Therefore，the police call on drivers to follow the rule strictly and offer the injured more hope of being saved．
The ministry also asked the police to watch the traffic more carefully so as to quickly discover the potential （潛在的） danger．The police have decided to add electronic monitoring instruments to catch the violations （違規(guī)者） and heavily fine drivers for it．

4．Different Kind of Spring Break
For many American university students，the weeklong spring break holiday means an endless party on a sunny beach．In Panama City Beach，F(xiàn)lorida more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party，making it the number one spring break place in the United States．
A weeklong party is not for everyone，however，and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter．For them，joining or leading a group of volunteers to help solve problems such as homelessness or environmental damage makes spring break a special learning experience that university students can feel good about．
During one spring break week，students from James Madison University in Virginia took part in 15"spring break"trips to nearby states，three others to more distant parts of the United States，and five international trips．One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa，Louisiana，to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane （颶風(fēng)） Katrina．Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter．One group of students did go to Florida，but not to lie on the sand．They did some work to help protect the native Florida plants．
Students who take part in spring break projects find them very rewarding （值得的）．While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people，student volunteers are able to help people right now without degrees．On the other hand，the buildings or rooms they live or stay are far from attractive．Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church．But they only pay around $250 for meals and transportation，which is much less than some of their friends spend traveling to more traditional spring break hot spots．
Spring break projects appear to be growing in popularity at universities across the United States．Some students take the opportunity to meet new friends．Others want to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place．Whatever their reasons，these students have discovered something that give them rich rewards along with a break from school work．

61．What‟s the number one spring break place in the United States？Panama City Beach，F(xiàn)lorida．
62．What is the way to make spring break matter for some students？Joining or leading a group of volunteers to help solve problems．
63．How did the students help in Bogalusa，Louisiana？By rebuilding homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina．
64．Where do the student volunteers often sleep？On the floor of a school or church．
65．What makes the spring break projects more rewarding？Student volunteers can help people right now without degrees，spend less money，meet new friends and exercise their beliefs．．

2．Travelling with your belongs on your back，or backpacking is self-planned budget （預(yù)算） touring using low-cost transport，and often going on foot．Backpackers don't carry suitcases or stay in pricey hotels．Instead，they walk around with backpacks filled with everything they need，ready to sleep under the stars if necessary．With their limited budget，they need to choose lodgings （住宿） and transport based on an old saying-the lower the price，the better．
The lure （吸引力） of adventure has made backpacking a popular travel style among young people and students who are seldom owners of fat wallets．They prefer exploring a place by themselves，with only a printed map，or a smart phone on hand．
"A package tour may suit a family's needs，but it's not my cup of tea，"says Betty Lam，who went backpacking in New Zealand with three friends last summer．"I want to explore a place according to my choice，my timetable and myself．"
Were there any particularly memorable events on the trip？
"Once，the train to Auckland was put off and two of our group were hungry，so they left their backpacks with us and went to a nearby shop to buy something to eat．I still remember the scene with Tammy and me running flat out to catch the train，carrying four huge backpacks．The other two were racing behind us as they'd panicked when they saw the train getting ready to pull away from the station．I held the train door open while Tammy was shouting．"Quick-jump in!"Susie came in head first with June landing on the top of her like a sack of potatoes!It was so funny!"
So was the trip worth all the effort？
"Definitely．True，we had a few quarrels （爭(zhēng)吵）； we have different interests，and it wasn't easy to please everybody．But we managed to reach a compromise （妥協(xié)） every time．Travelling with friends helps you learn about getting on with people and working together．All of us had gained a lot by the end of the holiday-the four of us had become really good buddies．"
What should backpackers always carry with them？
Betty laughs-"not too much!Comfortable walking shoes are important．A raincoat is necessary and bring some practical clothes．"
So，is that everything to bear in mind？
"Well，yes and no，because you can't prepare enough．You need much information about where you're going to stay，transport，food，etc．Most importantly，you must have insurance （保險(xiǎn)）-just in case your money，passport or backpack get stolen，or you get sick．Take time planning and you'll have fun safely．"
53．What do backpackers usually do？D
A．Stay in pricey hotels．
B．Face a lot of dangers．
C．Spend much money．
D．Choose cheap transport．
54．Which of the following statements about Betty is true？B
A．Betty preferred travelling with her family on holidays．
B．The friendship improved as a result of their adventures．
C．Only half of Betty's group caught the train to Auckland．
D．Betty toured New Zealand with backpackers she met there．
55．What's the main purpose of the passage？C
A．To give us some advice on backpacking．
B．To tell us about Betty's travelling story．
C．To introduce a hot travel style，backpacking．
D．To encourage us to travel with less money．
