waiting, see to some business on your phone or keep a book to read handy at all times. If you know that you might

D. Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）
A few months ago, I interviewed Max, an animal trainer. He was teaching a dolphin to do a back flip. Every time
the dolphin jumped out of the water even a little, Max would reward it with some food. When the dolphin did
something else, Max would just ignore it. At first the dolphin kept swimming round the pool and having fun. But
slowly, it learned that what it jumped, it got a reward. After a few days the dolphin was jumping high enough to do
a somersault (空翻). It had learned the first part of the trick.
I was fascinated. I kept thinking about how Max had trained that dolphin... and then I began to wonder if the
same skills might work with my husband, Dylan. He was always leaving dirty washing on the floor and he often used
to forget arrangement that we’d made. I nagged (埋怨) him but he ignored me. The piles of washing just got bigger
and he would forget even more arrangement. His bad habits didn’t use to trouble me bur now they were driving me
mad!
So I decided to copy the dolphin trainer. I praised Dylan when he put anything in the washing basket, even if it
was just one sock or when he remembered any arrangement, even if he got the wrong day. Slowly, the piles of dirty
washing became smaller and his memory got better. I was so pleased that I told Dylan about my “training”. He
looked thoughtful.
A few days later my computer didn’t work again. It was continuously crashing and I called Dylan in a panic.
The first thing he said was, “Well done, Jenny, you haven’t made a drama out of this. You used to shout at me.”suddenly, I felt calm. I liked his praised. Then I realized what was happening. He ____83_____.
78. What trick did Max teach the dolphin to do?
79. What does the underlined word “they” (in Para. 2 Line 5) refer to?
80. Why did the writer decide to copy the dolphin trainer?
81. How did the writer help her husband to get rid of his bad habits?
82. Did Dylan think his wife also had her own bad habits?
83. What can be filled in the blanks in the last paragraph?
VII. Writing（作文）（共20分）
