What could be cuter than your puppy giving his doggy friend a kiss on the nose? Nothing，really．But is your dog actually planting a kiss on his friend? Yes，but that’s only one of the reasons your dog may lick another dog’s nose．Here are some other reasons why your dog may lick another dog’s nose．  
During an introduction，a shy and lower-ranking dog will lower his head，avoid direct eye contact and gently extend his tongue to lick the nose of a more confident and high-ranking dog．The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that：he comes in peace．   
Dogs who are already friends will also trade kisses．Two strongly bonded dog pals will lick and clean each other．They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship．
Puppies also “kiss” their mothers，but it's not a gesture of love．When puppies stop suckling(吸吮)their mothers’ tits for milk and start to eat semisolid(半固體)food instead；they lick their mothers’ mouths and noses in the hope of getting the mother to regurgitate(反哺) some semi-digested food．
So how to help your bashful dog make friends with other dogs? You can carefully select confident-but-friendly and good-tempered dogs to play with your shy dog，to help him develop his social skills．Also consider taking him to a special training class that focuses on socialization and positive training technique．
Do not disturb them when your two dogs play “kiss” briefly with each other．Sit back and enjoy this display of friendship．Then call them over and have them do a command such as “sit’’ or “shake paws”．Offer them treats as a reward for being good to each other．
If you foster(收養(yǎng))a dog and have three or more resident dogs，introduce the foster dog to your brood dog one at a time and let muzzle licking between them happen naturally．Start with your least reactive or most friendly dog．Never force an in production between the dogs because this can deepen the foster dog’s submissiveness or spark a fight．

解析試題分析：文章大意：沒(méi)有比狗狗親吻另一只狗狗更可愛(ài)的了，狗狗之間舔鼻子或親吻是友好的表現(xiàn)。也是朋友間友誼的展現(xiàn)，也可能是幼崽向媽媽求食的信號(hào)。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第二段The first dog licks the nose of the second dog to simply make it know that：he comes in peace.可知一只地位較低的狗狗舔地位較高的狗狗是在告訴對(duì)方自己沒(méi)有惡意。故B正確。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段They give each other “dog kisses” showing friendship．可知當(dāng)兩只狗成為朋友之后，它們通過(guò)相互親吻來(lái)展示友誼。故D正確。

At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse（沖動(dòng)）, but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious(注意形象的) society like the U.S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”.
It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for America’s fascination with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.
【小題1】 From the passage we can infer taboo is            .

A．a(chǎn) strong desire to do something strange or terrible
B．a(chǎn) crime committed on impulse
C．behavior considered unacceptable in society’s eyes
D．a(chǎn)n unfavorable impression left on other people
【小題2】 Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude “being fat”           in American society.
A．will always remain a taboo
B．is not considered a taboo by most people
C．has been a taboo long before
D．may no longer be a taboo some day
【小題3】The topic of fat is            many other taboo subjects.
A．the same as B．different from
C．more boring than D．less often talked about than
【小題4】In the U.S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”, this means            .
A．thin is “inside”, fat is “outside”
B．thin is “diligent”, fat is “l(fā)azy”
C．thin is “youthful”, fat is “spiritless”
D．thin is “fashionable”, fat is “unfashionable”
【小題5】The main reason the passage gives for why so many Americans are exercising regularly is            .
A．their changed life-style
B．their eagerness to stay thin and healthy
C．their appreciation of the importance of exercise
D．the encouragement they have received from their companies

You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.
“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette（禮儀）is sort of strange,” Gray told the BBC. “They are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.”
We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, liftusers unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.
He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.
If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally（對(duì)角線地）across from each other to create distance.
When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.
New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act decisively. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.
Why are we so awkward in lifts?
“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”
In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be construed（理解）as threatening or strange. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact,” she said.
【小題1】The main purpose of the article is to _______.
A. share an interesting but awkward elevator ride
B. tell us some unwritten rules of elevator etiquette
C. analyze what makes people feel awkward in an elevator
B. remind us not to behave strangely when in an elevator
【小題2】 According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _______.

A．turn around and greet one another
B．look around or examine their phone
C．try to keep a distance from other people
D．make eye contact with those in the elevator
【小題3】Which of the following describes how people usually stand when they are in the elevator?

【小題4】The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _______.
A．judge B．ignore
C．put up with D．make the best of

From Japan to Indonesia, a certain kind of pop culture is very hot. But it doesn’t come from Hollywood—it’s Hallyu(韓流), the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asia. It has influenced everything from music to television. And thanks to the Internet and social media, it’s now spreading worldwide.
South Korea produces all types of entertainment, the most popular being music, soap operas and films. What makes Hallyu so hot in Asia? One reason is that its products are of high quality and much cheaper than western products. Another reason is that eastern cultures are similar to each other, although there are language differences.
Korean pop music, or “K-pop”, ranks the first everywhere. Fans love the songs and the attractive stars. Companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment help many K-pop stars, such as Super Junior, Big Bang and Rain, to succeed. They are not only popular in Asia but also enjoy popularity in the West. In 2011, Big Bang’s mini-album Tonight reached the top 10 on U.S. Tunes Top Pop Albums. When SM Entertainment took their 2010 world tour to Los Angeles, only 30 percent of the 15,000 fans were Korean. Half of the audience wasn’t even Asian!
One important reason for the success of Hallyu is simply the Internet. A little more than 10 years ago, Korean soap operas, movies and music reached the outside world quite slowly. They began in Korea, and then gradually spread outward, appearing in its neighboring countries where local TV and radio companies would play them. Now they are played around the world online at the same time.
YouTube is another major way to get Korean entertainment to fans everywhere. It is an inexpensive and valid way for artists to introduce their work to a larger audience. In 2010 the YouTube channels for the top three Korean entertainment groups together had nearly 800 million views from 225 different countries.
【小題1】Hallyu is very hot in Asia partly because________.

A．languages in Asia are similar to each other 
B．the culture is the most fashionable in the world 
C．South Korea’s products are the cheapest in Asia 
D．the quality of South Korea’s products is high 
【小題2】The author shows the popularity of K-pop in the West_______.
A．by giving examples 
B．in order of space 
C．by listing reasons 
D．in order of time 
【小題3】The last two paragraphs mainly tell us________.
A．how important the Internet is 
B．Hallyu is popular worldwide 
C．the Internet helps Hallyu spread quickly 
D．how popular and effective YouTube is 
【小題4】What does the underlined word valid (in Para. 5) mean?
A．slow B．useless 
C．successful D．necessary 
【小題5】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．K-pop Ranks the First Everywhere 
B．Hallyu Makes Waves across the World 
C．YouTube Helps Korean Cultures Spread 
D．Korean Soap Operas Are Growing in Popularity

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (論壇) asking what "PK" meant.
"My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.
To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.
In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.
Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.
"My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition.
"GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.
Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.
If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

A．explain some Internet language

A proverb says :“Time is money.”But in my opinion, time is even more valuable than money. Why? Because when money is spent ,we can earn it back .However when time is gone ,it will never return .This is the reason why we must value time.

But it is pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time .They spend their valuable time smoking, drinking and so on. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting a part of their valuable life.

“Oh，you must have been a spoiled (寵壞的) kid.You must be really bossy.I wonder what you’re going to be like to deal with？” That’s often the response Angela Hult gets when people find out she’s an only child，she told ABC News.Despite such negative (消極的) remarks，Hult has decided to have only one child herself.And she’s not alone.
According to the US’ Office for National Statistics，women approaching the end of their childbearing years had an average of 1.9 children in 2004，compared with 3.1 for their counterparts in 1976.The percentage of one­child families in Britain had risen from 18 percent in 1972 to 26 percent in 2007.
But even though only children are becoming increasingly common，the traditional view that they’re selfish，spoiled and lack social skills holds strong.Even parents of only children，like Hult，are made to feel guilty about having only one child.Worried that they’re being selfish and endangering their child’s future，they flock to online discussion forums seeking advice.Soon，however，they ask themselves：is this social prejudice really reasonable?
“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同齡人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.
This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?
“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”
Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (嬰兒死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?
Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.
【小題1】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Are only children lonely?
B．Are only children common?
C．Are only children dangerous?
D．Are only children different?
【小題2】What does Susan Newman mean?
A．Only children are as good as their peers.
B．Only children are more selfish and spoiled.
C．Parents feel guilty about having only one child.
D．Parents will endanger their only child’s future.
【小題3】What is the common belief since human existed?
A．The infant death rate always stays high.
B．People are crazy to have only one child.
C．It’s easy for only children to earn their living.
D．It’s hard to continue the family line with only one child.
【小題4】An only child like Kayley________.
A．must be difficult to persuade
B．can possibly learn to be alone
C．should value special skills
D．need ignore bad experience
【小題5】What’s the author’s attitude towards having only one child?

People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
【小題1】In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as　　　.

A．a(chǎn) not very normal mental condition
B．a(chǎn) disease that can be easily cured
C．something we pick up after birth
D．a(chǎn) kind of emotional disability
【小題2】From the passage, we know that Johnny Carson　　　.
A．has dealt with shyness very successfully
B．has done away with his shyness carefully
C．is described as a hero in some legend books
D．failed to become a good talk show host
【小題3】 The passage tells us that Sally Fields was　　　.
A．proud all the time
B．close to Jane Fonda
C．impolite when young
D．shy in her early years
【小題4】The author thinks that our shyness is there because　　　.
A．we are not open enough
B．we don’t feel secure at heart
C．we try to reach out to others all the time
D．we lack some social skills
