26、   Leo has always been my closest and constant companion these past five years. In fact, he is very friendly to me especially when I take care of other furry friends in our shelter.

There have been a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. Leo rushed towards the forest where flames send out a terrible heat. There’s no longer any hope at the moment to wait for Leo to come back to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce me his death in the forest. Suddenly, a fireman burst into my office and informed me that my dog Leo succeeded in saving four cats which were trapped by the flames. Leo seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a safe place.

I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to pick up the rescued kittens, but Leo was not there. Then we heard the sound of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. The firemen followed the tracks of the dog until they found him barking loudly by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground.

That day, I was very proud of Leo for his two heroic actions. I paid a visit to the fireman accompanied with my adorable Leo. What a memorable scene when the fireman hugged Leo tightly to his chest! “One thousand thanks, Leo, for saving my life,” the fireman said.

27、   "Basically,in life,rule of thumb:if you don't absolutely have to clean anything,don't clean it."Fashion designer Stella McCartney said this in an interview with the Observer this weekend.Instead,she says,the"rule"is to"let the dirt dry and you brush it off".

It may have been a throwaway comment at the end of the interview,but something about this line impressed readers—many of whom have been doing several loads of laundry a week.So does she have a point?Is it better to avoid washing your clothes?

This isn't the first time that McCartney has recommended not washing our clothes.In fact,she has long advocated avoiding the washing machine-both for the longevity of the clothes,but also because of the effect washing them has on the environment.

Laura Diáz Sánchez,from the Plastic Soup Foundation advocacy group,agrees with this,particularly when it comes to high-street clothes,which contain more synthetic materials such as polyester（聚酯纤维）and acrylic（腈纶）.

"Every time we wash our clothes an average of nine million[plastic]microfibres are released into the environment,"she tells BBC News."The way we wash our clothes affects it,as well as the way our clothes are made-but the more we wash our clothes,the more microfibres are released."

When you do wash,she recommends setting the machine to a lower temperature and using liquid detergent:"Powder detergent creates more friction（摩擦）between the clothes[during washing],so more fibres are released,while liquid is smoother.The less friction there is in general,the fewer fibres are released."

She advises against overloading washing machines for the same reason-fewer clothes in the drum means there's less friction.But it's not just about microfibres.Washing an item of clothing too often can largely shorten its lifespan,meaning that you're more likely to throw it out and buy something new.

【1】Why does McCartney suggest not washing clothes?

A.To buy something more fashionable.

B.To make her interview more interesting.

C.To reduce the impact on the environment.

D.To avoid releasing microfibres.

【2】What does the underlined words"this line"in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.The rule. B.The newspaper.

C.The interview. D.The comment.

【3】According to Laura Diáz Sánchez,what can we do to release less microfibres?

A.Use powder detergent rather than liquid detergent.

B.Wash fewer clothes at a time.

C.Set the washing machine at a normal temperature.

D.Avoid using washing machines.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Why we should stop washing clothes.

B.A practical rule of washing clothes.

C.Fashion designer's recommendations.

D.How to lengthen clothes'lifespan.

28、   There are many different types of birthday cards to choose from, but it matters a lot to send a card that the receiver will enjoy.

The most common birthday cards are the traditional paper birthday cards.【2】 .Others are blank (空白的)so the senders can write his or her own message. There are different kinds of cards from being very simple to very wonderful and the prices can vary depending on the card choice.

Another type of birthday card to consider giving is one that made of paper, but is musical, A sound chip is placed inside the card so that when the receiver opens it, the card plays the music.【5】.

29、   Roughly the size of a soda can, sitting on a bookshelf, a relatively harmless device may be turning friends away from your home. The elephant in your living room is your Internet-connected camera, a device people are increasingly using for peace of mind in their homes. But few stop to think about the effect these devices may have on house guests. Should you tell your friends, for instance, that they’re being recorded while you all watch the big game together?

“It’s certainly new territory (领地), especially as home security cameras become easier to fix,” says Lizzie Post, president of the Emily Post Institute, America’s distinguished manners advisors. “I think it will be very interesting to see what manners appear in terms of whether you tell people you have a camera or not, and whether guests have a right to ask that it be turned off, if it’s not a security issue.” Post wants to make clear that she’s not talking about legal rights, but rather personal preference.

When it comes to security cameras, Post says it’s a host’s responsibility to make sure guests feel comfortable within their home. If the host casually acknowledges that there is a camera in the room by telling a story about, it that may be enough to provide an opening for a guest to say if they are uncomfortable.

However, if a contractor (合约工) is working in your home, you don’t need to tell them that there are cameras watching. Then again, the camera can also work in contractors’ favor. “If anything does go wrong while they’re in the house, they don’t want to be blamed for it,” she says. “In fact, the camera could be the thing that proves that they didn’t steal the $20, or knock the vase off the table.”

【1】What is Lizzie Post mainly discussing about the use of home security cameras?

A.Legal rights.

B.Moral issues.

C.The possible impact on health.

D.Likes and dislikes of individuals.

【2】According to Post, what is a host’s responsibility concerning the security camera?

A.Indicating its position.

B.Turning it on all the time.

C.Making their guests feel at ease.

D.Having a casual talk with guests.

【3】How can the home security camera help contractors working in your home?

A.It can prove their innocence.

B.It can record their working progress.

C.It can prevent the accidents happening.

D.It can make their work more enjoyable.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the security camera?

A.Negative. B.Pessimistic.

C.Favorable. D.Objective.
