As an experienced dg trainer, Du Linjia, 30, desn’t nly “teach” dgs -- he als gives lessns
t dg wners since they are the clsest t their pets. With 10 years f wrk experience, he usually
invites wners t train their dgs tgether with him, using a series f lessns t adjust the dgs’
behavir. In extreme cases, the dgs are taken t be trained alne.
Hw des a trainer change a dg’s behavir? “One cmmn aggressive behavir f a dg is
grwling (低吼) at its wner t prtect its fd,” Du said. “In such cases, we need t first analyze the
dg’s mtivatin. It may misunderstand that the wner is there t take its fd, which we aim t
change.” By giving the dg even mre delicius fd while slwly getting clser ne step at a time,
the dg begins t believe I can be rewarded fr letting humans cme clser. Prblem slved.
Du believes that a dg trainer shuld have a strng sense f respnsibility. N matter what
behavir a dg has, the trainer must make judgments calmly and never give up n any dg.
Empathy is imprtant t, due t the fact that a dg’s wrst behavir is usually cming frm the
misleading behavir f its wner. Hwever, empathy des nt nly mean feeling srry fr the dg --
ne needs t think frm the dg’s perspective. Mre practically speaking, Du said a dg trainer needs
t be bservant (善于观察的)，and sensitive enugh t ntice small changes in the dg’s behavir s
that they can intervene (介入) in time .
“The future fr dg trainers is prmising,” Du said, adding that many custmers wh wuld
previusly nly fcus n whether their dgs were healthy are nw willing t learn hw t imprve
their dgs’ behavir.
24. Hw des Du usually wrk?
A. Walking dgs with their wners. B. Giving lessns t bth dgs and wners.
C. Asking wners t get clser t their dgs. D. Training dgs in an extreme envirnment.
25. When they are grwling at their wners, dgs prbably think ________.
A. they will be rewarded B. the fd is nt delicius
C. wners will give up n them D. wners are interested in their fd
26. What qualities shuld a gd dg trainer have in Du’s view?
A. Bravery and creativity. B. Intelligence and calmness.
C. Empathy and independence. D. Respnsibility and sensitivity.
27. If a dg shws an unusual behaviur, the wner had better ________.
A. leave it alne B. ffer it mre fd

At university, I did a cmbined languages degree, studying French, Spanish, Italian and
Prtuguese. Frm then n, it became a way f life. After graduatin, I wrked as an au pair (互惠生)
in Germany, and finally studied German. I cycled t the Netherlands, picking up Dutch, then tk
Russian classes in Spain and gt a Czech diplma in Prague. It turned ut that speaking a language
abrad with lcal peple was an ideal way t learn, especially in a time befre the internet.
Traveling t learn a language became an adventure -- it came with huge excitement and f
curse lnelier, mre cmplex mments. I have fund that the speed f learning depends n the
language and hw fcused when I’m studying. If it is similar t a language I already speak, I find I
can use it in a understandable, althugh perhaps nt plished, way within weeks.
I’ve studied mre than 50 languages nw. I generally use 15 weekly and mre than 30 in a year.
I als advcate fr lcal and endangered languages. Having a wrld f languages ut there and nt
learning them is like watching TV in black and white and nt knwing there is clr. They will
cntinue t enrich me fr a lifetime.
The mst imprtant thing abut learning languages is the ability t build bridges with ther

Since 10 a.m. this mrning, I’ve been staring at my cmputer screen in an attempt t squeeze an
interesting article ut f myself. Up until an hur ag, I nly had 50 wrds and a dry title t shw fr
eight hurs f ‘wrk’. But as the sun set, I had abut ne hundred ideas pp int my head -- like
guests shwing up t late t a party.
Bursts f inspiratin like this at night are frequent within the creative cmmunity. Writers, artists,
and inventrs thrughut histry have all said they’ve been mst inspired during night-time.
In the light f psychlgy, we write at night with less distractins (干扰). Kids put t bed and
the wrld utside quiet, there’s very little that can pull us away frm ur writing. Als, mst f the
day’s tasks are cmplete by the evening. This means we have a whle day’s wrth f inspiratin and
experience t reflect n, mst f which cmes ut in ur writing. Anther factr is that the dark
hurs tend t be mre relaxing: lighting is sfter, we’re spending less time n scial media, and the
verall setting is quieter. This makes it ten times easier t fcus n ur writing.
Chemically, ur brains change t. When we sleep, certain parts f the brain shut dwn in
preparatin fr it as the sun sets. In particular, much f the frntal lbe (前额叶) becmes inactive,
s less energy is spent n decisin-making and mre is directed int ther parts f the brain,
specifically t the right hemisphere. Despite sme debate surrunding the subject, scientists
generally believe the creative cntrl-centre f the brain is in the right hemisphere, which cncerns

itself with everything frm emtins and intuitin t the way we dream. When we reach night time,
this side f ur brain becmes mre active because less energy is being used t pwer the rest f ur
brain. This is partly what allws creative surges t happen.
Hwever, that desn’t mean yu can’t enter a creative state during the day. If yu can mirrr
night-time cnditins, yu stand the best chance f beating yur writer’s blck and letting wrds
flw thrugh yu.
32. Why des the authr mentin his experience?
A. T lead t his pint. B. T prve his effrts.
C. T display his rutine life. D. T shw ff his writing talent.
33. What des Para 3 mainly talk abut?

Yu are walking dwn the street. Suddenly it starts t rain and yu dn’t have an umbrella. What
d yu d? Run r walk? Mst peple wuld chse t run because it will get yu ut f the rain
faster. ____36____ S what shuld yu d?
Things are mre cmplicated (复杂的) than yu might think. Franc Bcci, a prfessr at the
University f Brescia in Italy, fund that whether yu shuld travel slwly r quickly in rain depends
n the wind’s directin and yur bdy’s shape, accrding t the BBC.
When there is n wind, and the rain falls directly n yu, Bcci suggests that yu shuld run and
hide as fast as pssible. But if the wind cmes frm behind and blws the rain nt yur back, the
best thing t d is walk at the same speed as the wind. ____37____
This is nt all. When the wind blws in frm the side, yu’ll have t think abut ne mre thing
-- yur bdy shape. ____38____ In this case, a fatter persn had better run while a thinner persn
shuld still try t match their speed t the wind. “In general, the best thing is t run as fast as yu can
-- nt always, but in general,” Bcci tld BBC News. “If yu’re really thin, it’s mre prbable that
there will be an ideal speed. Otherwise, it is better t run fast.”
____39____ Back in 1987 they thught that running r walking did nt really make a difference.
Years later they realized that wind directin might be a factr. And here, mre cmplicated study
results have been fund by Bcci. ____40____ But the best way t stay dry is still t carry an
umbrella.
A. Thinner peple are hit by fewer raindrps.
B. If there is n wind, walk at yur usual speed.
C. But if yu run, yu als run int mre raindrps.
D. This way, bth yur frnt and back will stay mstly dry. E. Nw yu knw what t d next time the rain catches yu. F. In fact, this questin has puzzled scientists fr many years. G. Running is always the best chice t stay as dry as pssible.
