When I was a baby, I jumped and ran around you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?” But then you’d give up, and played with me and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
My housetraining was a long process*, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, ran in the park and car rode. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps* in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
You began spending more time on work, and more time searching for your human friend. Later, you fell in love. She is now your wife but doesn’t like dogs. Anyway, I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then your babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was excited by them, and I wanted to look after them too. Your wife was afraid that I would bite* them. However, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
Now, you have a new job in another city. So you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You‘ve made the right decision for your 'family', although I wish I could be your family all the time.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog house. There were many fearing and hopeless cats and dogs in the cage. You filled out the paper and said to the staffs* there, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They said nothing. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” I asked myself again and again.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my dog house, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, hoping you had changed your mind and hoping this was just a bad dream.
My owner, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness* from your family than you showed to me.
( ) 33. Who tells this story?
A. A dog. | B. A child. | C. A dog’s owner. | D. A dog trainer. |
( ) 34. Why did the dog’s owner take his dog to the dog house?

( ) 35. Which is TRUE about the dog when it lived at the dog house?
A. It hoped to be fed by another family. C. It did not believe humans any more. | B. It continued to love its owner. D. It was excited about the dog house. |

Zhong Shunfeng, 20, a student at Southwest University, says that he likes using his mobile phone when he meets his friends. His best friends have complained about it and given him some advice. Now he realizes it’s impolite and shows little respect*. “Anyone pays more attention to mobile phones in front of me while I’m talking, it would make me embarrassed.” he said.
Shuai Yunyun, 21, from Shanghai University found that her friends spent most time chatting on line, sending messages and looking through the website or wechat* on their mobile phones during friends’ meetings. Or they were busy taking pictures of their meal and writing something, and uploading them to their micro blog* or wechat. However they talked little.
“I think that we have a lot of topics to share, but few people enjoy talking.” said Yunyun, “It seems that there’s a gap* between me and those with mobile phones.”
According to a latest survey of hundreds of teenagers in Hong Kong, 54.29% of them would use mobile phones while having dinner with their families. It has influenced communication between children and their parents. It also shows that people are getting used to a new way of being “alone together”, and some people call it “death of conversation”.
It’s true that sending messages or writing micro blog allows us to exchange thoughts and makes us feel closer than ever. But spending too much on mobile phones keeps us away from people around us and reduces* our chances of conversations with strangers and meeting people. A little online connection cannot take the place of a “real conversation”. Just like Shuai Yunyun said that she would like to hear people’s voice and see their faces in a conversation. The given and taken of ideas in a conversation shine our minds.
( ) 37. Zhong Shunfeng realizes it’s ______ to use mobile phones when he meets his friends
A. useful B. impolite C. helpful D. important
( ) 38. Shuai Yunyun thinks .
A. many people enjoy talking B. she is close to people with mobile phones

A. there is a new way of being alone together
B. we communicate better with our family
C. we can get on better with our family
D. it doesn’t influence communication
( ) 40. From this passage, we can learn .
A. we should spend more time on mobile phones
B. we should spend more time talking people around us
C. we should reduce our chances of conversations with strangers and meeting people
D. we should send messages or write micro blog to exchange thoughts
