W: I looked out of the window and saw the sky covered with dangerous, dark clouds.
Text 2
W: There was a big fire in my neighborhood last night. Two people were injured and three houses were burned down.
M: I know. I tried to call you up after I heard it on the radio.
Text 3
W: Why are you so sad these days?
M: I have been out of work for three months, but still I haven't found a job.
W: Let me help you find one. I have many friends in this city. I think they can help you.
M: I would appreciate it if you could help me.
Text 4
W: I hear your son fell into a river yesterday afternoon. Is that so?
M: That's true. But soon afterwards, he was saved by a Mr. Li. He is all right now.

M: Someone stole my wallet last night.
W: Oh, no! What happened?
M: Well, I was working out, and I had put my stuff in my locker, just like I always do. When I came back, someone had stolen my wallet. I guess I forgot to lock the locker.
W: I'm sorry. That's terrible! Did you lose much money?
M: Only about $20. But I lost my credit card. What a pain!
Text 7
M: What a terrible story! A couple were sailing from Hawaii to Mexico. While they were crossing the Pacific, their boat hit a whale and sank.
W: Is that true? What happened to the whale?
M: It doesn't say. Oh, and here is another one. A man in Los Angeles was robbing a bank. But as he was escaping, he got caught in the revolving door.
W: I guess it was his first bank robbery.
M: Yeah. Oh, listen to this. Someone got locked out of his house, so he tried to get in through the chimney.

M: I get up around seven o'clock and have breakfast. Then I have to leave home at about eight, I guess. It takes me about fifteen minutes to take the underground to start work.
W: Do you like your job?
M: It's OK. Some days it's fine, some days you get some really tricky customers.
W: Do you get time off for lunch?
M: Sure. I stop around twelve－thirty, and then at one o'clock, I take a walk in the park — just to get some fresh air, you know. If the weather's OK, I'll have a sandwich or something there.
W: Mmm. Does it get busy in the afternoon?
M: No more than in the morning, I guess. When the bank's open, people call at all times.
W: So when do you leave work?
M: I leave work at about six fifteen in the evening, and at six thirty I take the underground back home. I don't do much when I get home, except watch TV. I guess I go to bed at around eleven thirty.

Our first winter, in Canada was the happiest one we have ever experienced. We were living in the countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn. One evening in mid－December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all felt very happy. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. Next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing. We turned on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since there was too much snow on the roads there would be no school that day. We jumped up and down with joy and asked Mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed ourselves warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playgrounds were all hidden under soft white snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen.

Cats are creatures of habit. They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps (打盹). Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods (情绪) as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.
A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B Johnson. These famous men were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours, often into the night. Napping was their secret.

A small plane had some trouble with its engine while still in the high sky.
The pilot knew that there was nothing he could do to keep the plane long in the air. So he rushed back to where his passengers sat and explained the dangerous situation.

If you're not getting along with your neighbors, consider getting a pet, preferably (更可取地) a dog. A new Australian study has found that pet owners tend to interact more positively with their neighbors and wider community, and be out and about more. And dog owners seem to be the friendliest and most social of all.
Lisa Wood, a lecturer at the University of Western Australia, with her colleagues conducted a random telephone survey (随机电话调查) of 339 adults from three suburbs in the Western Australian capital Perth, asking questions about pet ownership and social interaction.
They found that pet owners were more likely than people who didn't own a pet to exchange informal greetings with people from their neighborhood, often while they were out with their pets, and to exchange favors with their neighbors. Dog owners, in particular, seemed to enjoy good social contact. For example, more than half showed that they had got to know people in their suburb as a result of their pet, and more than four－fifths talked to other pet owners when they walked their dogs.
But in general, pet owners, including goldfish owners, appeared to be more social than people who didn't own a pet, with fewer numbers reporting it hard to get to know people in their neighborhood.
The research suggests owning a pet also motivates people to walk and use local parks, providing opportunities to meet new people; acts as a catalyst(催化剂) for taking part in community activities, and as a protector of mental health, which influences the ability to take part in community events and interact with local people.
28．According to the Australian study, ________.
A．getting a pet can make you busier
B．the pet owners are always ready to help others every day
C．your social life depends on whether you own a pet or not
D．the pet owners can benefit a lot from keeping the pet
29．Who would like to go out and communicate with others according to this passage?
A．The local rich people.
B．People keeping goldfish.
C．People without any pets.
D．The people in community.
30．The author uses the word “motivates” in the last paragraph to mean ________.
A．reminds B．advises
C．encourages D．requires
31．All the details in this passage support the main idea that ________.
A．keeping pets can gain the respect of the others
B．getting pets can improve your social life
C．people are persuaded to raise more pets
D．people can make more friends by raising dogs
答案与解析：
28．解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new Australian study ...wider community, and be out and about more. And dog owners seem to be the friendliest and most social of all.”可知，饲养宠物可以使你以更积极的心态和周围的人交往，使你更加社会化，有助于人际交往，人能在很大程度上从中受益，D项推断合理。
答案：D
29．解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They found that pet owners were more likely than people who didn't own a pet to exchange informal greetings with people from their neighborhood ...neighbors”可知，饲养宠物的人比不饲养宠物的人乐于和周围的人交往。
答案：B
30．解析：词义猜测题。根据下文“... providing opportunities to meet new people; acts as a catalyst for taking part in community activities ...”可知，motivates在这里应该和catalyst有相似之意，即应该是“激发、鼓励”之意。
答案：C
31．解析：主旨大意题。总地看来，本文是写饲养宠物能改善你的社会关系，扩大人际交往范围，B项“饲养宠物可以改善你的社交生活”揭示了文章的主旨大意，符合题意。
答案：B

Sometimes the best way to get through hard times is finding out you're not alone. The books in the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul (《心灵鸡汤》) series have helped millions of teens in the few years since the first was published. Much like the earlier ones, the third in the series has stories, poems, and cartoons, most of which are written by teens themselves.
Twenty teen reviewers read all the works and left only 5 000 favorites. Editors (编辑) Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Kimberly Kirberger made the final cuts. Packed with heartache, love, experience, and wisdom, Teen Ⅲ is as helpful as the earlier series.
Most of the stories are written by young, unpublished writers. And the audience undoubtedly will relate perfectly to the tales
