24、For thousands of years, people have lived with dogs. Ancient paintings on the walls of caves show people living with dogs. Almost a third of the homes in the United States and England have dogs, and these dogs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

The largest dog in the world was a dog named Zorba. When Zorba, a mastiff, was seven years old in 1989, he was 94 centimeters (37 inches) tall. In other words, Zorba was more than half as tall as an adult man. At his largest, Zorba weighed more than a heavy weight boxer at 156 kilograms(343 pounds).

In comparison, the smallest bog was a Yorkshire terrier from England. This dog was only the size of a matchbox, measuring 7.1 centimeters(2.8 inches) tall and 9.5 centimeters (3.75 inches) from nose to tail. It weighed about half as much as a common book, and even a young child could easily pick it up with one hand. It passed away in 1945 when it was only two years old.

Some dogs are wonderful, not for their sizes, but for their brains. One incredible (难以制信的)dog is Endal, the companion (陪伴) of a man named Allen Parton who has used a wheelchair since a car accident in 1991.

In 2001, Parton was hit by a car while crossing a road with Endal, and thrown out of his chair. Endal quickly moved Parton into the recovery place, covered him with a blanket(毯子), and pushed his mobile phone close enough for him to reach. Then, once he saw that Parton was all right, Endal ran back and forth to a nearby hotel, barking until people came out to help.

Endal was rewarded for his bravery by being awarded a medal, and he has been the subject of a number of TV documentaries.

25、   Once, a man sold his well to a farmer. Next day when the farmer went to get the water from that well, the man didn't agree. He said, "I sold you the well, not the water, so you can't get the water."

The farmer became very sad. And he came to the judge in the office alone. He described everything and asked for help. The judge called up the man who sold the well to the farmer. He asked, "Why don't you let him use the water of the well? You have sold the well to him." The man replied, "I have sold the well to the farmer, not the water. That means he can't get the water from the well."

The judge smiled and said, "OK, as long as you have sold the well to him, and you say the water is yours, then you can't keep your water in the farmer's well. Either you pay for the farmer to keep your water, or you must take it out of his well right away."

The man understood that his idea couldn't work. The story tells us we can't cheat others, though we are smart. We can't win in the end.

【1】A farmer bought a well from a man.

26、   The lift door opened slowly when we got to the top floor of the Eiffel Tower. My mom rushed out. She wasn’t interested in the views (风景). She just wanted air. If there’s one thing that scares my mom more than cramped (狭小的) spaces, it’s heights. When I caught up with her, she was pressing her body against a huge steel girder (梁). I couldn’t help but laugh.

  “What?” she said. “I… I’m having a great time.” “Yeah, I can tell. Let’s go,” I said.

But she couldn’t move because she was so scared. Maybe we should have taken the Eiffel Tower off our “to do” list.

“I know, Mom!” I shouted. “We can walk all the way down.” Before she could think about it, I took her arm and led her over to the stairs.

Hoping to make her relaxed, I pulled out our Pairs guidebook and called out facts about the Tower as we made our way down: There are a total of 1,665 steps; the Tower is repainted every 7 years…

Finally, after 30 minutes, we got down. I pushed at the gate. It didn’t move. I pushed again, still no movement. I tried again and again. Out of breath, I would almost cry. I hated being locked in!

“Qu’est-ce que c’est la probleme?” a young French guard asked on the other side of the gate. I didn’t understand French. That made me panic (惊慌失措) more. I pushed at the door really hard—still nothing happened.

The guard smiled now. He pointed up and said in English, “The sign. Read it.”

I saw a sign above the gate. It said: “Tirer.” I looked at the guard. What did that mean? The guard told me, “It says, ‘Pull.’ ”

I pulled the gate. It was opened easily. My face burned with embarrassment.

“Karen, you really need to learn to relax,” my mom said, laughing.

28、八、短文缺词填空，每空一词（共10分，每小题1分）

Scientists are placing robot dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the s【1】on the effect of robot dogs  on old people’s feelings.

In the study, the r【2】, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live a【3】. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data (数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their e【4】feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if the robot dog has produced any changes in the life of its master.

“I talk to him all the time,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “W【5】I do, he’ll stay with me. When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The scientists say they have some a【6】over live dogs, especially for old people.

Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by e【7】walking it or playing with it.

“At the beginning, it was b【8】that no one would like the robot dog because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robot p【9】could become more valuable health helpers.   They will r【10】their masters’ data of health conditions. They may even one day help older people in many other ways.”

29、As a teenager, I hated PE lessons. I was not very good at sports, and I hated team sports because I always felt like I was _______ the rest of the team. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected from my body like only my _______ was “me” and my body was just a vehicle (运载工具) for carrying my brain around.

When I started university, I decided to try a kung fu club. To my surprise, I _______ it! In my first year, most of us were beginners. I used to go two or three times a week. Because it is not a team sport, I didn’t feel _______ about not being very good. And because it is a combat (格斗) sport, you train in _______, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them. I also appreciated (欣赏) that the _______ of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, _______ exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body changed—I got stronger and _______—but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal.

_______ I moved to Italy this year, I decided to start doing a combat sport again. I ________ a local martial arts (武术) club and I loved it. We did lots of sparring (拳击). I think that sparring is like chess, but much faster and much more fun! If your sparring partner tries to ________ you hard with his fist, you have to move quickly to ________ him, block or even catch his arm and then ________ him to the mat.

When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn’t a sporty person and that I just didn’t like sport and never would.
