communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to

do and sometimes they comply, but we’ve always str uggled

when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks

and whimpers. There is exciting news now – a dog translator has

been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.

Rearchers at North Carolina State University have

fashioned some kind of miracle dog translator body harness(束

腰带). What’s special about it is that it doesn't just rely on the

dog’s vocalizations to interpret what Fido is banging on about.

Oh no – this miracle harness reads and interprets the o

rdinary dogs’ body language as well, giving us a full two-way

dog communication experience.

Rearcher David Roberts says: "Dogs communicate

primarily through body language, and one of our challenges was

to develop nsors that tell us about their behavior by obrving

their posture remotely."

Sensors on the harness monitor the dog’s heart rate and

body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting

the human know what the dog is feeling.

What would dogs say if they could talk to us? The human can

even communicate back through the harness thanks to vibration

motors, suppodly by tapping into the dog’s ns so that it

can understand what you’re trying to say to it.

The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in arch and

rescue and other front-line work, but it's got us dreaming of a

beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can co-exist as

equals, with the dog able to fully express itlf at all times.

54. Why can’t people communicate with dogs?

A. They have difficulty underst anding dogs’ barks and

whimpers.

B. They have no idea about dogs’ behavior in relation to

their posture.

C. They don’t know how to tell dogs what they want them

to do.

D. They don’t have a machine to translate the dogs’

language.

55. What does the underlined word most probably mean in

paragraph two?

A. Pursue fashion.

B. Rearch.

C. Influence.

D. Make.

56. For what purpo is the dog harness designed?

A . It is designed for dogs to understand what people are

trying to say to them.

B. It is designed for a full two-way dog communication

experience.

C. It is designed to monitor the dog’s heart rate and body

temperature.

D. It is designed for dogs doing arch and rescue and other

front-line work.

57. What is the autho r’s attitude towards the possible

human-dog communication?

A. Shocked.

B. Excited.

C. Embarrasd.

D. Annoyed.

C

There is a very instructive incident involving the life of

Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering

many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and

it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face,

Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp

sword and all his wealth were of no conquence. So, he lay hel

plessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said,

“I will depart from this world soon. I have three wishes. P lea

carry them out without fail.”

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians

alone must carry my coffin(棺材).” After a pau, he continued,

“Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the

grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn（撒满）with

gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The king

continued，“My third and last wish is that both my hands be

kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander’s favorite general

kisd his hand and presd them to his heart. “Oh King, we

assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do

you make such strange wishes?”

At this Alex ander took a deep breath and said, “I would like

the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want

my physicians to carry my coffin becau people should realize

that no doctor can really cure anybody. They are powerless and

cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people

not take life for granted.

The cond wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on

the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of

gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but

cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a

waste of time to cha wealth.

And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of

the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into

this world and empty-hande d I go out of this world.” With the

words, the king clod his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him

and breathed his last.

58. The first paragraph suggests that Alexander _________.

A. was conquering many kingdoms.

B. realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at

all.

C. wanted to leave as he came empty-handed.

D. regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword

As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of

the galleries and into public places, some of the country's most

talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals

and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500

National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have

significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting

areas and treatment rooms.

The recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter

Senior, who t up his studio at a Manchester hospital in

northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist

had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be

enjoyed by a wider audience.

A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500

visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions

of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the

out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in

1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so

much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young

art school graduates.

The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms

the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images

and restful courtyards.

The quality of the environment may reduce the need for

expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A

study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden

needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with

patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

62. According to the passage, "to soften the hard edges of

modern buildings" means______.

A. to pull down hospital buildings

B. to decorate hospitals with art collections

C. to improve the quality of treatment in hospitals

D. to make the corners of hospital buildings round

63. According to Peter Senior, _______.

A. art is not as important in people’s daily life as in hospital

B. art galleries should be changed into hospitals

C. patients should be encouraged to learn painting

D. art should be encouraged in British hospitals

64. After the improvement of the hospital environment,

_______.

A. patients no longer need expensive drugs in their recovery

B. patients are less dependent on expensive drugs in their

recovery

C. patients need good-quality drugs in their recovery

D. patients u fewer pain killers in their recovery than before

65. The fact that Senior is in great demand shows that_______.

A. Peter's enterpri is developing greatly

B. Peter Senior enjoys great popularity

C. he is a talented hospital artist

D. the role of hospital environment is being recognized

even though I don’t enjoy cleaning. If I stay mindful of why I’m

doing it, I c an get motivated to do it. 66

small goals that you’ve accomplished. Remember to reward

can you motivate yourlf if you’re not going to reward yourlf

68

Get inspired.

Read stories, watch movies, listen to other people who have

achieved what you want to achieve. Imagine what they had to go

through to get to where they are. Imagine how big the heart is

of some of your biggest heroes and how badly they wanted what

A. Imagine having already achieved it.

B. Get help and support when you’re not feeling motivated.

C. So remind yourlf of why you’re doing what you’re

doing.

D. What kind of lf-talk would you u to motivate yourlf?

E. Let them inspire you to access your own great desire within.
