Ten-year-old Cody Jackson, a 2013 Build-A-Bear Workshop Huggable Hero, helps support the soldiers.
November 11 is a day to honor people who have served in the army. That is what Cody Jackson, 10, from Alpharetta, Georgia, does all the year round. Cody visits airports to greet soldiers and has sent nearly 5,000 pounds of care packages to the soldiers. He has also written books to teach kids to love their country, and sells the books on his website, , to pay for his package supplies.
For all his work, Cody was selected as a 2013 Build-A-Bear Workshop Huggable Hero. The 10 Huggable Heroes chosen each received $10,000.
“When I was four years old, I was at the airport and it was taking so long to get through the airport. I asked my mom and dad why it was taking us so long and they told me about 9/11 and what the soldiers did that day. They explained the soldiers were providing extra (额外的) protection to help keep us safe. That is when I started to thank the soldiers,” Cody said. “Sending them care packages makes me feel good. I hope the packages make the soldiers feel at home. I hope they show the soldiers that they are not forgotten.”
When asked how it felt to be chosen as a hero, Cody smiled, “It was really exciting and it felt really good that I won that money so I could send more packages to the soldiers and get more things.”

The United States has been the birthplace of thousands of important inventions, from the light bulb to the computer mouse. However, the U.S. has also seen the birth of thousands of strange and even crazy inventions. One example of a strange invention is the dog hoser.
Cleaning and brushing a dog at home can be difficult. Many dog owners don’t have the tools or knowledge needed to properly cut an animal’s fur (软毛). For these reasons, some dog owners take their animals to groomers (宠物美容师) for haircuts. After groomers cut a dog’s fur, they often use a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) to remove the cut fur from the pet’s coat. This is where the real trouble starts. Many dogs are afraid of the strange machine and its very loud noise.
To solve the problem, one creative inventor designed a vacuum cleaner dogs might like. The dog hoser is a vacuum cleaner that looks just like a dog.
Dog-shaped, with a vacuum cleaner hidden in its stomach, the dog hoser looks like a furry friend. Its sound is low, and the hose looks like the dog’s tail. It may look like a new friend, but what do you think happens when the groomer pulls out the dog hoser’s tail and starts running it across the dog’s body?
After trying one in his shop, one dog groomer said, “My friend’s expensive dog moved back nervously when I used it.” A month later, his friend reported that her dog was still afraid of meeting other dogs.
25. What’s the problem with the vacuum cleaner?
A. It can’t make a dog clean and tidy.
B. It isn’t easy to remove the cut fur.
C. It makes a dog fearful.
D. It is very expensive.
26. The dog hoser _____.
A. becomes a dog’s new friend
B. looks hairy
C. is shaped like a dog’s tail
D. works silently
27. What do you think happened to the dog hoser?
A. It helped its inventor make a lot of money.
B. It became popular among dog owners.
C. It was widely used by groomers.
D. It faced an uncertain future.

Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.
For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?
Experts say it’s because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.
Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I’d rather spend the extra money to get something I know I’ll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It’s fake (假的) happiness.”
People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren’t any better. “It’s wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You’ll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”
31. The example of Jim’s report wants to tell us _____.
A. popular brands make people comfortable
B. Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats
C. the hottest brands are of the highest quality
D. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands
32. According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _____.
A. to show off
B. for their better quality 
C. for their better designs 
D. to belong to a special group
33. Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?
A. Alexandra & Daniel.        B. Emmy & Edmund.
C. Emmy & Alexandra.       D. Daniel & Emmy.
34. What does Edmund think of expensive brands?
A. They are not worth the price.
B. They make him feel confident.
C. They need to improve their quality.
D. They pay too much attention to personal likes.
35. The text is mainly about _____.
A. how to buy things reasonably
B. the competition between brands
C. the different values of teenagers
D. whether expensive brands are worth high prices

Ways to make a great first impression
You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
●  36 
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.  37 
● Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression.  38  It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.
● Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way.  39  This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.
● Make good conversation
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.  40  A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).
A. Use body language
B. Have a proper handshake
C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.
D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
E. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.
F. You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.
G. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.
