Ernst Mach was a weak child, brn in Mravia（nw Czechia）in 1838. He didn’t even g t schl until the age f 14. Instead, his parents educated him at hme. Like many genius children, his teachers criticized him, calling him “unteachable, abslutely talentless.” Yet yung Mach excelled at university in Vienna. He studied mathematics, physics and philsphy. He was als bundlessly curius. He cnducted all kinds f experiments, believing that theries must be tried, tested, and prven in facts, but first frmulated in the mind. He brught this rigrus（严密的）apprach t his studies, believing that true science is based n what actually happens and can be bserved.
In additin t his wrk in the sciences, Mach was als a well-runded student, with interests in philsphy and even sprts. He was an excellent bxer and fencer, which reflected the wide range f his abilities and interests.
As a teacher, Mach was serius and demanding. That was the mdel f pedaggy （教学）f his time, and Mach fllwed this standard: tight cllar, buttned-dwn tie, waistcat and jacket, and serius eyes behind wire-framed glasses. He expected exactness frm his students. Amng thse he influenced was the yung Albert Einstein. Mach’s insistence n clarity and rigrus testing f ideas helped shape Einstein’s thinking. Thugh Mach was dubtful abut sme f Einstein’s later cnclusins, such as E=mc2, his dubt drve Einstein t prve his ideas further. He pushed the yung Einstein t achieve excellence.
While Mach is credited with many theries f his wn, including the aircraft velcity（速度）measurement that bears his name, “Mach 1. Mach 2, etc.”, his mentrship f Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. The best teachers in ur lives als challenge us and see us as nt yet cmplete but full f ptential. They shine a light n the path that gets us t a successful reality. And thrugh us, they live n.

Accrding t a 2011 study frm Michigan State University, nly tw-thirds f the subjects surveyed rutinely walked their dgs. Experts say that skipping yur dg’s walk can significantly affect yur dg’s emtinal and physical well-being.
“First f all, dgs dn’t exercise by themselves, fr the mst part,” says Stephanie Brns-Weil, an assistant clinical prfessr at the Cummings Schl f Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The amunt f exercise a dg needs depends n the dg. Sme f the dg’s needs vary frm age, breed and health. Accrding t Brns-Weil the typical yard desn’t ffer enugh stimulatin fr yur dg t have an adequate amunt f mvement. “Unless yu’re spending time playing with yur dg, they’re just ging t sit there,” she says, “because the space is familiar.” She cmpared it t reading the same bk ver and ver again r seeking enrichment by hanging ut in yur bathrm.
“Dgs may r may nt be getting exercise in yur yard, but they’re nt getting cmpaninship frm their wners, and they’re nt getting the mental stimulatin that cmes frm seeing new things, r, frm the pint f view f a dg, sniffing (嗅) new things,” said Brns-Weil, “Dgs whse needs are nt met are subjected t sme f the same effects f lng-term chrnic stress n their health as peple experience, ranging frm depressin and anxiety t prblems with the immune system.”
Accrding t Valli Fraser-Celin, a humane dg training advcate, the best way t help yur dg get the mst ut f their walk is t let them explre. “Sniffing is the way that dgs experience the wrld.” Research shws that dgs’ sniffing is hw they acquire infrmatin abut their envirnment and cmmunicate. Sme peple refer t dgs’ sniffing as “checking their email.”
Studies have shwn that creating a cmpaninship with yur dg and taking them fr walks can greatly reduce stress, benefit verall health, lwer medical csts, and decrease depressin and anxiety. S, next time yu want t skip yur dg’s walk, think twice!
8. What is the purpse f paragraph 1?
A. T describe a study abut dg wnership.
B. T present data n dg walking frequency.
C. T intrduce the imprtance f dg walking.
D. T discuss the benefits f dg cmpaninship.
9. What des the underlined wrd “it” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Walking dgs utdrs.B. Playing with dg wners.
C. Hanging ut in the bathrm.D. Staying in a familiar place.
10. What can be inferred frm Brns-Weil’s wrds?
A. Dgs can exercise enugh by staying in the yard.
B. Unfamiliar surrundings pse a threat t dgs safety.
C. Dgs need mre than physical exercise t stay healthy.
D. Dgs’ sniffing helps them understand their wners better.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Why Dgs Need Rutine WalksB. Hw t Train Yur Dg t Walk
C. The Benefits f Raising DgsD. The Imprtance f Dg Training

In tday’s sciety, it’s cmmn fr parents t hand kids tablets r smartphnes t keep them ccupied. It’s easy t dismiss this trend as ne that’s relatively nrmal, cnsidering that teens and adults ften keep their eyes fixed n screens t. Plus, parents are smetimes s desperate fr a few precius mments f peace that they dn’t mind getting their kids slightly tech-addicted.
Hwever, the prblem is that many tddlers tday are using devices with screens nt fr a few minutes but fr hurs.
Cmmn Sense Media, an rganizatin that fcuses n media, technlgy and the resultant impact n sciety, cnducted a study f children aged eight and under. The gal was t find ut hw peple in that age grup interact with technlgy. The researchers als wanted t determine hw usage habits changed ver the years. T achieve that bjective, the team cmbined the recent data with the findings f similar studies carried ut in 2011 and 2013.
The study shwed sme frightening cnclusins btained frm talking t a representative sample f 1,400 parents. Fr example, the amunt f screen time kids spend n mbile devices alne has tripled since 2013. What’s wrse is that attachment t technlgy starts very early. The statistics revealed that kids eight and under spend an average f tw hurs a day in frnt f screens. Furthermre, children aged tw t fur sit with screens fr 2.5 hurs daily.
Almst half f the parents surveyed admitted that the televisin is ften n in the backgrund. That theretically makes it much easier fr kids t becme engaged in a prgram even if they were ding smething else befre getting distracted. A different study carried ut a few years ag at the University f Iwa that als fcused n yung kids cnfirmed that backgrund nise negatively impacts children’s brain develpment and prevents them frm getting immersed in play r learning.
S, it’s imprtant t realize that televisin, tablets and similar devices are nt universally bad. Hwever, they can becme harmful t kids when used t much. Parents can play decisive rles by watching cnsumptin levels clsely and haying discussins abut media-related tpics if they cme up.
12. What phenmenn is talked abut t intrduce the tpic?
A. The negative effects f technlgy n sciety.
B. The grwing awareness f screen time in adults.
C. The widespread use f electrnic devices by kids.
D. The challenge parents face in managing screen time.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. The alarming findings f the study.B. Why the new study was cnducted.
C. The methds used in the new research.D. Why parents allw their kids t use screens.
14. Why is the previus study mentined in the text?
A. T emphasize the severity f the prblem.
B. T suggest a slutin t the prblem.
C. T prvide a cmparisn with the new study.
D. T intrduce the cncept f backgrund nise.
15. What des the text intend parents t d?
