Vienna, the capital of Austria, is famous for its wealth of art, music, museums and parks. But some locals are saying that the city’s beauty is damaged by dog owners who don’t clean up after their pets.

And, last week they came up with a solution. There is a citywide campaign telling dog owners to pick up after their dogs. That means, don’t leave a mess on city streets and in parks.

“We want to reach as many dog owners as possible to remind them of the rules,” said Ulli Sima, city official in charge of the environment.

“We want to show them the easiest solution to the problem: put it in a bag and then in the next rubbish bin,” said Sima.

There are about 158,000 dogs in Vienna. The city requires their owners to bag the pet’s mess when walking it outdoors. But it is believed that only a small number of the city’s dog lovers actually follow the rules.

Every day dogs drop between 5 and 10 tons of their waste around the city. Vienna spends 7 million euros( 70 million yuan) every year just to keep the streets mess-free.

The city is blamed for not being very strict with the rules. Dog owners say they pay 40 euros each years for their pet. But the city argues the dog license fee has nothing to do with cleaning up dog messes. The fine for leaving a dog mess is high—as much as 72 euros. The city, however, seldom punishes those rule breakers.

City officials said that the campaign was not meant to be an attack on dog owners.

“The city does a lot for peaceful co-existence by building areas for dogs or providing bags for dog waste. But dog owners must do their part as well and accept these offers,” said Sima.

1．This passage is most likely taken from .

A．a newspaper B．a geography book

C．an instruction book for pets D．official papers

2．Dog owners in Vienna pay 40 euros each year .

A．for walking their dogs in the streets B．to have people clean up dog messes

C．for not obeying the rules D．for the right to own a dog

3．Which of the following statements is NOT right according to the passage?

A．City officials don’t think dog owners can walk their dogs anywhere outside the special areas for dogs.

B．The writer believes that both the government and dog owners should do their part.

C．City officials hold the opinion that cleaning up the mess is not included in what dog owners have paid.

D．Some dog owners think it is the government that is responsible for the cleaning up.

Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways．Most have ten fingers and ten toes，and brains much like ours．In fact，Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution says that monkeys and humans share a common ancestor．We enjoy watching them because they often act like us，and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts．

Monkeyshine is one of these expressions to show tricks or foolish acts．The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other：pulling tails，stealing food，doing tricks．

Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing．When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do，you are monkeying around. It is just a way to pass the time．

Monkey business usually means secret，maybe illegal activities You may come across a news report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport，with some officials getting secret payments from builders．

Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear．In earlier years in many American cities，you would find men playing musical hand organs on the street．Dancing to the music would be the man’s small monkey that was dressed in a tight—fitting，colorful jacket similar to a military uniform．So，people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit．

Break Your Bad Mood

Having one of those days or weeks – when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster – often within a day or two.

Walk it off

Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood his low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

Tune it out

Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had.

Give yourself a pep talk

Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper-the pessimistic（悲观的）messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don’t have a job.” Vs “I have two interviews next week.”)

Reduce your stress

Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing（想象）, all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to be against distress（痛苦）is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

Avoid things that won’t improve your mood.

TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind – something that TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. A better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta（意大利面食）,produce a calming effect on people who have a desire for them.

8．We learn from the text that it might help rid us of a bad mood .

A．to do nothing about it B．to take a long walk on the beach

C．to do some exercise with light music D．to talk about it to neighbors

9．Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?

A．It is not complicated to do so. B．It is an area which can be easily controlled.

C．It helps beat a bad mood. D．It brings us a new technique.

10．TV may not improve your mood because .

A．it sometimes shows what happens around you

B．it keeps you sitting without moving

C．it reminds you of eating and drinking

D．it produces a calming effect.

11．In the second paragraph, “buster” means “ ”.

A．breaker B．helper C．maker D．partner

D

Among the crowd of Olympian gods the most famous one was Apollo. He was the son of Zeus and Letto. According to Greek mythology, Letto was driven by Hera, Zeus' wife, from land to land and at last Poseidon took pity on her and Brought the island of Delos out of water for her to live on. There she gave birth to the twins, Apollo and Artemis.

Wearing a purple robe, Apollo usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in the morning and made ready to start his daily journey across the sky. During the day he drove his carriage of gold and ivory(象牙), and brought light, life and love m the great world below. In the afternoon he came to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden boat to return to his eastern home.

Apollo was the god of music and poetry. He could bring about all feelings, which are expressed in his noble songs. With his gold musical instrument and the sweet accents of his godlike voice he led the choir of the muses(音乐女神们) at Olympus. The pleasant music was so exciting that stones marched into their places of their own will in musical time when he helped Poseidon build up the walls of Troy(特洛伊城). On one occasion, invited to a contest by the human musician Marsyas, he won and then flayed(剥……的皮) him to death for his pride. On another occasion, he lost at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge, King Midas, into those of an ass(驴子).

Apollo stood for youthful and manly beauty. His golden hair, stately manner and air all combined to make him the admiration of the world. A beautiful girl, by the name of Clytle, was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk she knelt on the ground, her hands outstretched towards the sun god, and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue sky. Though her love was not returned, she had never changed her mind about

Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!

The fast day would be a busy one. I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting(刻上) upon my mind the outward evidences of the beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that I could Catch a vision of the eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual's consciousness of the conflicts which life develops.

And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs--the serious, clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.

On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home. I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home. My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.

In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate (使陶醉) my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to those who can see. On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.

When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness.

In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!

(by Helen Keller)
