I finally found one not too far from the entrance to the hospital.
As I got out and brought my change out of my pocket, I noticed a man looking a little standing in front of a parking meter(停车计时收费表) two cars away. He seems to be searching his pockets for what I supposed were coins for the meter.
Although I didn’t feel that great, I thought that I should at least go over to him and find out if I could him. As I approached him, he turned to me looking worried. I asked him if he had a problem I could help with. He said that he had no coins at all he was only thinking about visiting his sick wife when he left his house. I reached into my pocket and out two dollars and gave it to him without saying a word. And, without waiting for a , I turned on my heel and said to him as I was walking away: “Have a good day.”
The funny thing was that I felt a lot , a small smile came to my face, and second to walk just a little quicker.

After he left the hospital, Tony was sent to a health center. A week after he arrived there, he met sunny Chen. Sunny used to be a coach. His legs were hurt badly in a skating accident.

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, homeless dogs lead a different kind. of life. The expression “to lead a dog’ s life” describes a person who has an unhappy life. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person becomes successful at a particular time of his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new skills. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things.
Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when the are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary(结婚纪念日). She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. She may not treat him nicely until he says sorry.
Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hot test days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
36. What is this passage mainly about? A. How to take care of dogs. B. The reasons why Americans love dogs. C. Expressions with the word dog. D. A dog-eat-dog world.

D
When I was about 10, there were lots of us bored. bookish children in the 1970s. Television was largely rubbish, and our parents bookshelves were what was left. I thought of this when I heard author Claire Tomalin complain that children are growing up without the skills to read classic works of English literature, such as Charles Dickens and that they are not being taught to have the lengthy attention spans(时段) necessary for his texts. She blames this attention short fall on the terrible television programmes.
It is true that children have never had more entertainment(娱乐) to choose from than today. And it is probably true that this generation,' s attention span is shorter, my children have dismissed as “too slow” or “boring\" most of the childhood books I saved for them. I was quite upset about this until I reread some. It is not just entertainment that moves at a faster rate. The world does, too. And, frankly, Dickens is dense, and hard work, as are many writers of that period.
Another fact is that not many children of my generation read Dickens for pleasure either. It took me years to come to Great Expectations and the Pickwick Papers, and then it was only post-university when I became independently hungry for knowledge.
Dickens might be one of the greatest creators of characters in English, as Tomalin says, but today' s children see Greg Hefley' s nature in The Wimpy Kid of Jeff Kinney’s novels. And they are so interested in the resourceful Baudelaire children in Lemony Snicker’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. They can recognize the a dole scent difficult situation of Harry Potter.
You can 't insist that childhood tastes not change for a long time. My mother encouraged me to read anything on the basis that all reading was valuable, and would act as a gateway to more challenging works later on. In turn, I believe that my children will come to the classics when they’re ready. Until then, I’ll take comfort from the fact that the 1969 classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar is still the most-read children’s book in Britain. It has underdeveloped characterization, yes, and the vocabulary is limited. But as a starter to give children an appetite(食欲) for reading, it is priceless.
40. What is important for children reading Dickens according to Claire Tomalin? A. Vocabulary B. Patience. C. Knowledge D. Taste 41. Which of the following would the author agree with about Dickens? A. The are difficult to understand.
B. Their vocabulary is old and limited.
C. They are the entrance to other literature works.
D. Their characters are better created than today’s works.
42. The author thinks it that children nowadays don’t like Dickens.
A. understandable B. worrying C. disappointing D. interesting 43. Which of the following can best conclude the topic of the passage? A. Attention span B. Classic works. C. Reading skills. D. Children’s reading.

Where did you go yesterday? Did you hear music at an of those places? Today most stores and restaurants play music. You might even hear music in an once or on a farm. Scientists believe that music changes the way people behave.
According to some scientists, the sound of western classical(古典的)music makes people feel richer. When a restaurant plays classical music, people spend more money on food and drinks. When the restaurant plays modern music, people spend less money. Without background music, people spend even less. Scientists also believe that loud, fast music makes people eat faster.
