A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who
slipped in the snow and broke his neck.
The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood.
Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns, a shirt and slippers when he went
outside, although the temperature was around-4 degrees.
After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance.
“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was 10: 30 pm,”Bob
explained. But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey
didn't stop barking.
Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake.
Kelsey kept barking but never left my side, Bob recalled. She kept me warm. I knew I couldn’t give up and that it
was my choice to stay alive.
Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness （意识）, his dog kept barking.
Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6:30 pm on New Year’s Day and called the
emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21 degrees. However,
doctors were surprised to find that he didn't have any frostbite（冻疮）. They believed it was because of Kelsey’s
determination to keep him warm, Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his
dog really saved him...He was very fortunate.”
Bob said he was enormously grateful to both Dr. Colen and his Kelsey, “They saved my life. They are truly
heroes!”

If you’re a book lover, you have a pile of books on your beside or a bookshelf in your library with a “to read”sign on it. Yet you can’t stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new
purchases. But I’m here to tell you to stop worrying.
What you have is an antilibrary, and it’s a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eoo. He is
the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with “Wow! What a
library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others who get the point that a private library
is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the
more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.
If you think you already know everything about a subject, you’re cutting yourself off from a steam of
information at an artificial(假的) point. So a growing library of books you haven’t read means you’re consistently
curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great basis for a lifelong love of learning.
So don’t feel guilty over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them, and as
you build your library of read and unread books, you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain
books may become references(参考书) more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five
years ago has special relevance today.
Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That’s good for you and good for the
world around you.
.
33 What does the underlined word “antilibrary” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Feelings of guilt over new books. B. A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C. The collection of unread books. D. A large personal library.
,
34. According to the author more unread books mean ________.
A. your lifelong leaning attitude is wrong B. you limit yourself from the unknown
C. you have known a lot about the world D. you are eager to know the new world.
35. What's the author’s attitude towards having an antilibrary?
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain.
Stories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines.They are read around the
campfire at night. They are randomly distributed（随机分发）from stand-alone booths. But what else?
To revive（复兴）literature in the end of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French
publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers in the USA in the past years to deliver
fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.
Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in his
company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other
cities announced they would be sitting them up, too .There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be foundin downtown West Palm Beach, Fla and Sbort Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles
International Airport.
“Everything old is new again,” said Andrew Nurkin, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is
one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature.We want to
advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity.”
Here’s bow a dispenser works: It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one
minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They
are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whose works have been
evaluated by Short Edition’s judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific
interests, like children’s fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for it category by holding writing contests.
Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “The idea is to make people
happy,” said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition, “There is too much unhappiness today.”
36. What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?
A. They are all long novels. B. They are short in form.
C. They can be read on smartphones. D. They are taken from magazine literature.
37. What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?
A. Why the story dispensers are popular in American. B. How popular the story dispensers are in America.
C. The history of the story dispensers in America. D. Different ideas about the story dispensers in America.
38. What is the main purpose of setting up the dispensers according to Andrew Nurkin?

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Nepal’s government is requiring students in grades four through eight to take yoga(瑜伽) classes. The
government says the classes will give students exercise. But some people don’t like the idea.
Yoga is an exercise program that practices breathing and stretches, and encourages people to pay attention to
their minds and bodies. Yoga began in India thousands of years ago, and has connections to several religions(宗教).
Over time, people around the world began taking up yoga simply as an exercise to make the mind and body
stronger. Yoga can reduce stress. It can also help with flexibility, balance and pain relief.
Though many countries around the world offer yoga classes, Nepal is the first country to require its students totake them. The new rule will mean that yoga joins other required classes like math, science, English and the Nepali
language.
The rule has a great influence on hundreds of thousands of Nepali children in elementary schools and junior
high schools. Nepal’s minister of education said, “Yoga is our ancient science. We want students to learn it and we
think this is the right time.”
But some people don’t agree with the idea. They believe that because of yoga’s old connections to the Hindu
religion, it's unfair to make everyone take part in it.
People speaking for Nepal’s government say the focus of the new rule is on encouraging students to be active.
The new classes are going to start this month, but it may take a while before all the students can begin yoga
classes. That’s because the country doesn’t have enough yoga teachers.
