AA man going abroad to work leaves his young lady crying. “Don’t worry, I will write to you every day,” he said. For years he did write to her. But since he wa s happy with his job, he had no immediate plans of going home. One day, he received a wedding invitation. His girlfriend was scheduled to be married. To whom? To the mailman bringing regularly the letters of her boyfriend! Indeed, distance does make hearts struggle.While presents are important, love demands what is basic: presence of the beloved.Martha was busy with her job. She believed she had to work harder because she loved her father who had serious disease. She had to provide for his expensive medicine. Her brothers and sisters meanwhile stayed with their father most of the time. They bathed him, sang for him, spoon-fed him or simply kept him pany.One day Martha was hurt. She overheard her father telling her mother,“ All our children love me ex cept Martha. ”“How can this be?” Martha thought. “Am I not the one killing myself in my work to have money to buy for his medicine? My brothers and sisters do not even provide their share in the expenses as much as I do. ”One night, as Martha was as usual late in going home, she peeped for the first time in the room where her father was lying. She noticed that her father was still awake. She decided to e close at his bedside. Her father held her hands and said, “I miss you. I don’t have much time. Stay wit h me. ” And she stayed with her father holding his hand the whole night.The next morning Martha said to everyone, “I have taken a leave of absence. I would like to be with my father.

Dogs are able to watch people’s interactions with one another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. This study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. It offers evidence that dogs use information not only from people’s direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when be asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross（in Spanish；the study was conducted in Argentina）. After these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. While many dogs didn’t approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food.Other studies of dogs’ people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell the difference between happy and sad faces in their owners. They prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don’t give others food. And in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people.So how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? That’s not totally settled yet. In a strange twist to the Argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didn’t preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. You could say dogs watch for the interaction between two persons, not just how a person reacts. Yet a previous study found dogs will choose boxes that people reacted to happily, but not boxes people reacted to with a disgusted face.Well, either way, you can be sure Fluffs is keeping an eye on you, to the best of her ability. The study was published in the journal PLOS One.25. What does the study mentioned in this passage show?A. Dogs prefer yummier foods.B. Dogs can read human actions and feelings.C. Dogs can interact with humans easily.D. Dogs like to copy human’s behavior.26. What does the underlined word “gross” probably mean?A. Healthy.B. Disgusting.C. Yummy.D. Hot.27. Which is one of the procedures of the Argentine study?A. The man had different reactions to the food received.B. One of the wo men didn’t give the food to the man.C. The assistant acpanied the dogs to get the food.D. Many dogs went to one of the women.28. What can be concluded from Paragraph 42 ________.A. Interactions between two persons confuse dogs.B. Dogs never understand the reaction of one person.C. The findings of some studies are controversial.D. Dogs have good interactions with one another.CEveryone in the UK should learn at least 1000 words of another language, urges a new campaign.The 1000 Words Campaign es from concerns that the country will lose out on international trade and jobs because of poor language skills. It aims to challenge the view that only the brightest people can learn another language. “For too long people from the UK have suffered from a reputation that we are lazy linguists,” said a supporter, Vicky Gough of the British Council. “Speaking another language is crucial to the understanding 0f another culture,” said Ms Gough. “So let’s overturn our poor record in language learning and show that we are ready to engage with a multilingual（多种语言的）world. ”She urged.The group said a vocabulary of 1000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation. The proposal is part of Speak to the Future, a wide campaign backed by organizations including the British Council, The CBI, the British Academy and a range of embassies and language teaching bodies.This year’s A-level results showed a continued fall in those taking French and German, down by 10％and 11％respectively—though Spanish bucked the trend with a 4％rise in entries. By contrast entries at GCSE（General Certificate of Secondary Education）for French, German and Spanish were up by 16. 9％last year, reversing（倒转）a long-term downward trend.However, Teresa Tinsley, a member of Speak to the Future told BBC News that because theEBacc was for pupils who achieve good grades, there was evidence that some schools were focusing their language teaching on abler students, whereas businesses needed people with language skills at all levels of the workforce.“Most top managers have language skills but in fact staff whose jobs involve set tling invoices （发票）or buying stock abroad also need to be able to speak-another lan guage,” said Ms Tinsley. “A worrying divide is opening up.”The campaign director Bernadette Holmes said, “The idea that everyone should learn the basis knowledge of another language is both realistic and attainable. We are not expecting instant fluency. Yet if everyone were capable of using at least 1000 words of a new language, social attitudes and economic prospects would be significantly enhanced-young people would be better prepared for the challenges of globalization and our cultural and intellectual levels would be raised.”29. According to Bernadette Holmes, which of the followings is true?A. Some schools were focusing their language teaching on abler students.B. Speaking another language is unnecessary to the understanding of another culture.C. The campaign can gain instant fluency.D. The campaign can promote the economy of the whole country30. From this text, we can know that ________.A. the UK will lose out on some international trades and jobsB. German and Spanish were down in entries at GCSE last yearC. most top managers don’t need to learn the basic knowledge of another languageD. learning at least 1000 words of a new language is urged by a campaign31. What’s the best title of this text?A. Speak to the Future.B. Understanding Another Culture.C. The British Academy and the British Council.D. Challenges of Globalization.DTayka Hotel De SalWhere: Tahua, BoliviaHow much: About $ 95 a nightWhy it’s cool: You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood, but salt? That’s something few can claim.

The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried—up lake that’s the world’s biggest sa lt flat.
