Renata Di Pietro was studying to be an opera singer. But at 23, while on a music scholarship at the University of Iowa in 1976, her sight began to fail. Soon, it became increasingly difficult to read scores and pick up hand signals from conductors, and the gifted singer was forced to drop out.
After moving to Cleveland, Georgia in 2005, Di Pietro relied on guide dogs to get around. Over the years, she became depressed when she’d lose one of the dogs, who had become her best friend, to old age or death. “It’s very painful, because you love each one,” she says.
In 2009, Di Pietro was intrigued by information from a friend that miniature horses typically live for at least 30 years and make calm and strong guides. She started with a male horse, but he was too hard to control. Angel came next, a mini white female horse Di Pietro has mostly trained herself. “Horses have the ability to avoid the things in the way,” she says. “If I am about to run into something, she slides her body in front of me.”
Di Pietro, now 59, has taught her guide horse to make some sounds with her hoof (马蹄)when she comes to stairs. “Angel can find a chair and locate the nearest door for me,” Di Pietro says. Currently, she’s training Angel to pull her wheelchair and to fetch.
Despite her disability, Di Pietro still sings, performing with her husband, musician Carl Hummer, at special events. Angel is always by her side. “I fight a battle every day to take courage to engage the world,” Di Pietro says. “Angel is my warhorse. We fight that battle together.”
Why did Di Pietro have to give up her studying in the university?

A.She disliked her major in music.
B.She failed to get high scores.
C.She couldn’t understand hand signals from conductors.
D.She found it difficult to see things clearly.

What does the underlined word “intrigued” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Puzzled. B.Interested. C.Satisfied. D.Frightened.

Angel can do a lot of things for Di Pietro now EXCEPT_________.

A.supporting her in case of her falling
B.helping her find a chair to sit on
C.keeping her company every day
D.fighting with her against others

Which of the following can best describe the author?

Do you know the following expressions?
Faustian bargain
According to most stories, Faust was a German scholar who was rather unhappy with his life.The devil(魔鬼), Mephistopheles, promises him that in return for his soul.he will give Faust unlimited power and knowledge.Faust agrees and experiences all kinds of pleasures, but, in the end, his soul goes to the hell.A “Faustian bargain” therefore is a deal that finally results in one's ruin.It means a bargain made for temporary gain without taking future consequences into consideration.
A three-ring circus
When you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of complete confusion.There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or annoyed.The expression comes from the world of entertainment—the circus.The area where the artists perform their acts is called the “ring”.In the past, some of the circuses were so large that they had three acts taking place meanwhile in three different “rings”.The audience had to decide which “ring” they wanted to focus on.

It's an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My wife says no because we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday. The joy of a recession (不景气) means no argument next year - we just won't go.
Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday A YouGov survey of 2, 000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. 
Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for.” he explains. “They'll say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something.
  “The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what's going on with their finances, but they don't. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you're doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”
What does the author say about going on holiday in Paragraph 1?

A.It will cost them too much money.
B.Few people can afford it without working hard.
C.It makes all the hard work worthwhile.
D.It is the chief cause of family quarrels.

According to the text, what does Kim Stephenson believe?

A.Money is often a symbol of a person's status.
B.Money means a great deal to both men and women.
C.Men and women spend money on different things.
D.Men and women view money in different ways.

The author suggests that couples should ______ .

A.put their money together instead of keeping it separately
B.discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship
C.make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgets
D.avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic

If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study. However, if you want to study oceanography(海洋学), your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another story, though. Life in LA is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as Northern California, but it is still quite nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace? Then you probably should stay away from America’s large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D. C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place you live in could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
What, according to the author, should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?

A.The climate B.The scenery
C.The study condition D.The living condition

What is California like?

A.California is the best place to live in.
B.California is the worst place to live in.
C.California is a state with the largest city.
D.California is a state with different climates.

If you study in Middle America, you can probably _______.

A.find the best universities
B.feel the real character of the nation
C.meet the most famous professors there
D.face more difficulties

What can we conclude from the text?
A.All American famous universities lie in nice places.
B. Los Angeles is the most dangerous city in the USA.
C. Washington D.C. is the political centre of the USA.
D. It is always raining in the Midwest of the USA.

Three Healthy Ways to Help Your Kids Excel in School
      Follow these golden rules to help ensure that your kids succeed this school year—and beyond.
1. Add exercise to their routine.
According to recently published research, the parts of children’s brains that are associated with memory and learning are larger in those kids who are more active.        In other words, if you want your kids to get better grades as a result, make sure to schedule in frequent exercise along with piano practice and Mandarin lessons.
2. Feed them healthy food.
Children’s brains need much more nutritious materials to keep developing. A great amount of fish, eggs, nuts, berries, fruits, and vegetables in your kids’ diet will lead to well-nourished (营养良好的) brains as well as bodies.       Limiting sweets prevents sugar rushes and low-blood-sugar crashes that can cause kids to become absent-minded and behave irregularly.
3.      
While their bodies are asleep, children’s brains are hard at work going over the new information. Kids who don’t get enough sleep or are frequently interrupted while sleeping have been shown to have difficulty remembering what they’ve learned in school.    That will go far towards helping them be at their best throughout the school d

A.Make sure they get a good night’s sleep.
B.Powerful brains come from healthy bodies.
C.Help your kids go over their lessons before they go to bed.
D.Eating more sugar is key to helping them regulate their behavior as well.

E.Help your kids relax in the evenings and go to bed at a reasonable hour.
F.Cutting down on sugar is key to helping them regulate their behavior, too.
G.Studies have shown that children involved in more exercise improved in math, reading, and spelling.

The other day, I was invited my friend Sam’s home for dinner. I felt a bit surprising when I saw Bill there. It was two month since we two had quarreled, so I was embarrassed and didn’t know how to do. I sat down on the sofa but began to watch TV. Later Sam came to ask me to make up with Bill. Until then I realize that Sam had arranged the meeting on purpose. He went up to Bill and greeted him warmly, smiled at him. He looked very happily and talked with me excitedly. That night, we had a great fun together.
