A
A sign can be found in the front yard of a house in the US. The people living here want to let their dog play outside and ensure it won’t run into the street. So, they hire a company to set up an “invisible fence”, an electric wire buried in the ground around the yard. The dog wears a special collar and when it walks near to the “fence”, the wire will send out a small shock. The dog quickly learns to stay away from the edge of the yard. As it says at the bottom of the sign, the fence will keep your dog “safe” (away from the street) and “at home” (contained inside the yard).
The small word “BRAND” printed in blue means that “Invisible Fence” is registered as the company’s brand name. Similarly, the “TM” printed after “your dog safe at home” stands for “trade mark”, a slogan registered specifically to one company.
36. The people set up an “invisible fence” _________.
A. to let their dog play outside their house

Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tap, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish.. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners (吸尘器), collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur frequently in Australia. When Bill Tap was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.

A. A sad story.
B. Australia’s northern part.
C. A rain of fish.
D. The damage done by floods.

As late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men’s names instead.
Teaching was the first profession (职业) open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.
Hospital nursing became respectable (值得尊敬的) work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurse in 1860.
The invention of the typewriter(打字机) in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900,thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.

Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb （郊区）. But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.
When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.
However, most of th e time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube （管子） and packet （包） in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, “take two tablets（药片）from bottle 5 every four hours.”

In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life.

Nowadays, more and more people prefer western festivals to traditional ones.
There are many reasons. First, some companies try to encourage people to consume as much as possible, for in this way they can make a large fortune. Second, according to our traditions, we usually pay much attention to eating and drinking during traditional festivals, which most people are tired of, while western festivals focus on entertainment and fun. Besides, the ways people spend western festivals are various and attractive.
So, I suggest more activities should be organized by the government to promote our traditional culture, and traditional festivals should be set as public holidays so they don't die out someday. We should value our traditional culture and try to celebrate our own festivals in a more interesting way.

In order to push ahead with quality-oriented education，our school has made the following decision：
1）School hours run Monday through Friday，from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm．
2）Homework is limited to one and a half hours．
This decision，which comes into force this term，has caused a heated argument．
Most of the students are in favour of this decision，for they will have more time to study
what they want，take part in activities，and build their characters．But some students are afraid of being forced to attend various remedial classes by their parents．
The majority of the teachers think this decision is very useful in developing students’ability to learn by themselves．However，some of them are worried that part of the students can’t make the best of their spare time after school，having a chat on the Internet or playing video games·
Parents have also expressed their views．Many support this decision，thinking reducing a learning load helps to keep their children physically and mentally healthy，while some parents doubt if their children can be admitted to universities in the fierce competition．
