A dog spent the last four years of his life waiting at a crossroad in the Thai city of Khon Kaen as if waiting for
someone. People originally thought the dog had been abandoned, but then realized that he looked healthy, so people
asked around about him. It turned out that the dog had indeed been spending most of his time around that
crossroad, but a woman had been coming round regularly to bring him food and water.
One day, while photographing the dog everyone called Leo, a reporter met the woman who had been taking
care of him. She had come to drop off some food. After learning the story about the dog and the woman, the

Auntie Noi told her daughter to drive her to where the dog was waiting. When she got there and called his
name. BonBon，the poor dog started wiggling(扭动)his tail and came to her，but when she tried to take him home
with her, he was unwilling to follow. She didn’ t want to force the dog to come with her so she agreed to leave him
with his new master. However, she and her daughter will come to visit him regularly.

Stories play a vital role in the growth and development of children. The books they read and the characters
they get to know can become like friends. It's also good for children to understand that books are a useful source of
information and that good reading skills are important for success in their future lives.
Children who can read well are more likely to have higher confidence levels. This will benefit them in school
as they’ll feel able to participate fully in activities. Another part of building confidence is to know where you fit
into the world. Stories can help with this process by showing children what people's lives are like where they live
and in other parts of the world.
Stories are a great way to introduce new words and ideas into a child's language--starting with picture books
for the very young, working up to more complex novels for teenagers. Fiction based on real life can also help
children with their own life experience--it shows them how diverse the world is and that some people's lives are
vastly different from theirs. And the process is done in a natural way. There's no actual teaching involved at all, but
they learn from simply reading the story.
Reading helps children understand that there are other children who feel the same way and they are not alone.
This helps children understand that feelings are normal and should be expressed. Watching their responses to the
feelings of the characters in the stories will give you some idea of how a child feels about certain situations and
emotions. For example, how the child responds to the character in the story feeling sad or scared will give you
some idea of how the child thinks.
As you can see, children's stories are important for a number of reasons and form a vital part of the growing
process. Being part of that process can bring children a sense of satisfaction as well as being great fun. So, go and
get your children some wonderful books to allow them to enjoy a relaxing bedtime story.
8. What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A. Reading stories benefits children a lot.
B. Reading is the best way to gain information.
C. Reading stories helps children make more friends.
D. Reading skills should be developed at a young age.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂9. How could reading stories raise children's confidence?
A. Inspiring children to get good grades.
B. Supporting children's language development.
C. Aiding children with living in a better family environment.
D. Allowing children to explore their suitable positions in society.
10. What does the author think about learning through reading?
A. Unrealistic.
B. Effective.
C. Time-saving
D. Expensive.
11. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Most teenagers are fond of complex novels.
B. Picture books are lacking in real life situations.
C. Most children have difficulty in expressing themselves.
D. Parents can know kids better from kids' reading responses.
D
At a time when industries are under greater pressure to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, more production
facilities are turning to digital sensing technology to provide the real-time insights they need for improved
performance. What if one digital sensor could measure multiple signals?
Yokogawa’s Dpharp(差压传送器) digital technology has the unique ability to measure two pressure
parameters delivering reliable and accurate measurement of plant operations. The unique aspect of this digital
technology is that it measures two parameters in one sensor module, providing additional insight into a plant's
operations. It is the only sensor in the world that does this.
DPharp transmitters use silicon resonant sensor technology to measure both differential and still pressure. The
sensor consists of two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators that shake at a certain frequency and, when pressure is
applied, the frequency of one resonator increases while the other decreases. By monitoring these frequencies
digitally, both differential and still pressure can be measured at the same time. The frequency output is directly read
by the central processing unit of the transmitter.
DPharp can be used in any processing plant across any industry—from oil and gas to food and drinks.
DPharp’s unique digital sensing technology allows engineering firms and plant engineers to create designs that will
equate to an average reduction of 40 percent. Where they would typically use five measuring devices, they are
using three by using the multi-sensing technology. That is a significant cost reduction in the number of devices
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂installed and the added benefit is that, as there are less devices, the engineering and design is less complex, which
means less materials and less equipment to maintain. Furthermore, there are fewer transmitter spares required,
which reduces costs. Tony Farah, Product Manager, said that more organisations are seeing the significant benefits
of smart devices like DPharp.
12. What is special about DPharp digital technology?
A. It provides the real-time insights. B. It brings significant changes in engineering.
C. It measures two parameters in one sensor. D. It provides accurate measurement.
13. What is the frequency output read by?
A. Two H-shaped crystal silicon resonators. B. The central processing unit of the transmitter.
C. Monitoring devices. D. The operator of the plant.
14. What is the plants’ attitude to DPharp?
A. Cautious. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. How DPharp is bringing value across production plants. B. How sensor works in a different way.
C. Why DPharp is efficient and reliable. D. Where DPharp can be used.

左右。
Tyler was enrolled in my senior class for a semester. He had impulse-control (克制冲 动)and anger
management issues. He had been suspended(停课)many times in previous years. When he entered my class, I
assumed the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked in the front of the class, I would ask students questions, calling
them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a glib（未经思考的）answer. If
he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in
class discussions or at the least motivate them to sit quietly and attentively. By contrast, Tyler was just loud and
offensive.
He had been in so much trouble through the years. He expected his teachers to know about his referrals（移
交）where he was sent to the office, and suspensions, where he was given compulsory days to stay out of school. I
had rarely found referrals to be effective because students would return from the office behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. In the middle of the lesson, I said in the same tone of voice,
“Tyler, why don't you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?" With that, he got up from his
chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can't remember what he said other than that he included several
impolite words. I sent Tyler to the office with a discipline referral , and he received a week's out — of — school
suspension.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler's anger was almost too much for me. The
week Tyler was out of school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the
suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.
On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door awaiting him.
