It was my first day of high school, and I was late. My next class, German, scared me. I just could not speak that 11 . As the bell rang, I ran to the classroom.

At the door, a hand reached out and 12 mine firmly. I looked up. A man with large glasses smiled. He 13 himself as Tony, which means teacher in German. In addition, his warm smile and boring words eased my fears. That year, I 14 his classes a great deal because I learned 15 just German.

I admit I only speak a little German. 16 I try to live out the life lessons I learned from Tony.

Every day Tony stood 17 his classroom before and after class to give his “hand hug”. After school his room was always filled with students and he would 18 to and chat with them—even those not in his class. He taught me that every person is 19 your time.

One time, I was rejected by my friends. Tony told me, “Linda, life gives you 20 . But learning its lessons will turn those ashes to jewels.” Therefore, I learned to look at my troubles differently and not to fear any difficulty.

In my senior year, I 21 president of one of the school’s clubs, so I was very 22 . Many times I didn’t even have time to buy lunch. He served me by giving me his food as well as advice. He lived out what he taught us to do: 23 others.

Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.

Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.

As a young man, Marco Polo decided to travel together with his father. It took them more than three years to travel to China. He became the Chinese emperor’s(皇帝的)friend. He learned the Chinese language when he traveled around and talked to many people. Before he reached the age of thirty, he was made to be a Chinese official.

Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee.

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of ten tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

34. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .

A. animals are as clever as human beings

B. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

35. Both experiments show that .

A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right

B. Rico can recognize different things including toys

C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them

36. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

B. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.

C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.

D. Rico is
