My husband and I were taking care of Lizzy, our daughter Melanie’s pet dog, on April 17 while Melanie was in the early stage of labour at the hospital. We received a text from our son-in-law, Joe Levanti, that Melanie was about to give birth. Tom and I sprang from our chairs suddenly. It’s a tradition in our immediate family to wait at the hospital for a birth. This would be Melanie and Joe’s first child.
“You take Lizzy out before we leave, and I’ll be waiting for you in the car!” I told Tom. I started the car and waited impatiently. I saw my husband walk out of the front door- but then out shot Lizzy and she was running down the street at great speed.
My husband ran after the dog, and I followed in my car. “Lizzy! Lizzy!” we shouted as fear filled our heart. We chased her up and down our Bellwood Avenue. “She’s running onto Wireless Road!” We both screamed with fear. Lizzy dashed back and forth in the busy street. My husband kept up his chase on foot. I shouted to my husband, “Tom! Be careful when you cross the street!”
Within minutes, traffic was actually stopped on Wireless Road. A half-dozen good people got out of their cars to help. Soon, she ran into a safer area and then back to our street. With the help of six strangers, we caught her within a few anxious minutes. Everyone cheered, and we thanked the helpers again and again.
With Lizzy safely back inside, we drove straight to the hospital and were able to see our daughter in the delivery room. My husband and I are forever grateful to the strangers who might have saved Lizzy’s life and who enabled us to be there at the beginning of a precious new one.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A

A. Because you eat too much for lunch. B. Because it's hot in summer.

A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day. B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.
C. If you take naps every day, you'll never suffer from heart disease. D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people's health. 10．What can we infer from the passage?
A. If you get up at 6:30 am, you'd better take a nap at about 1:30 pm. B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health. C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time. D. You'll feel sleepy at regular intervals(间隔). 11．What would be the best title for the text?

Since the beginning of the year，smog has covered parts of North China．In January Beijing saw only five days without smog．The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people，and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系统）and heart diseases．
Later news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe．
So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere．
Smog is especially a common concern．As a popular online post said air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone，despite your income or profession．People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic

Some Ways to Increase Your Reading Speed
Do you have a lot of reading to do before class tomorrow? Here are some ways to help increase your reading speed.
1. Stop the Inner Speech
One’s inner monologue(独白) is an extremely common feature among readers. 16 It is the biggest barrier that gets in the way of you being able to increase your reading speed.
2. Do Not Reread the Words on the Page
You most likely do this without even realizing that you are doing it, which makes it a bit of a difficult habit to break out of. 17 Keep your fingers running back and forth across the page, without stopping or going back.
3. Set a Goal
Holding yourself accountable will better ensure you stick with your reading and your timer tests. Give yourself a goal of a certain number of pages to read each day/week/etc. , and stick to it. When you reach it, treat yourself. 18
4. Work on Improving Your Vocabulary
Think about it: You’re reading along, and then you run into a word you don’t know. Do you skip it?
19 Do you stop to look it up? If you work on improving your vocabulary, you will know more words. The more words you add to your stock, the faster you read. The faster you read, the more you can read. It may be clear, but it's important.
5. Skim the Main Points First
Finally, when you're in a real time-crunch and need to get something read by tomorrow, take a deep breath and calm down. Open the book, and take some time reading over all the main points. Read the table of contents. Read the subtitles. Read the captions under the diagrams. 20
A. Self-encouragement never hurts anyone! B. Do you try to figure it out by context? C. Your brain still processes information.
- 6 -
D. Get an overall feel for the chapter. E. A reader should do more reading.
F. The easiest way is to use your finger to guide you along. G. It is the process of speaking the words in your head as you read. 第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
