A
I was never very neat, while my room-mate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always, looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, weeping.
Obviously, that was something she should not go through phone. All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart，
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up.
She was watching, her tears dried and her expression— one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed room-mates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

Many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and help control body weight.
Any pet owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people (half of them were pet owners) while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(算术) or held a hand in ice water. People completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer maths mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog may also have an effect on your body weight. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying two groups of fat people who were put on a diet-and-exercise programme: one group with pet dogs, and the other without. On average，dog owners lost about 11 pounds，or 5% of their body weight; while those without dogs lost about 8 pounds. The pet owners, said researchers, got more exercise overall (mostly with their dogs) and found it worth doing.
4．What does the text mainly discuss?
A．People's opinions of keeping pets. B．How pets help people calm down. C．What pets bring to their owners. D．Pets can help in medical research. 5．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around? A．They were less nervous. B．They were in higher spirits. C．They became more patient. D．They had lower blood pressure. 6．What mentioned in the last paragraph suggests that________． A．people with dogs did more exercise

C．How to be organized
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did D．people without dogs found the programme unhelpful

In a time when ivory poaching(偷猎)has gotten so bad that it threatens to wipe out several animal species, a young Dutch designer is creating “egalitarian(平等主义的)jewellery” made of our very own ivory—teeth.
Lucie Majerus got the idea for her “human ivory” collection after having her wisdom teeth removed. She kept them and soon realized they would make great material for a jewellery collection.“Why wouldn't we value our own material instead of the precious material from other species? And what if we mine our own ivory and turn it into pearls？” she asked.
Her own teeth became a ring, but in order to create a whole collection, she needed more material, and since having more of her teeth removed wasn't a very pleasant choice, she asked her dentist to save his patient's unwanted teeth. Most people choose not to keep their pulled teeth, so they are usually donated to dentistry schools. Majerus also received the lost teeth of two of her teachers at Design Academy Eindhoven, so she had a nice supply of human ivory to experiment with.
To turn human teeth into attractive pieces of jewellery, Lucie Majerus first bleaches(漂白)them, and then uses a stone polishing machine to shape the teeth into various shapes.
Majerus displayed her human ivory jewellery collection at this year's Dutch Design Week，and claimed that people's reaction was mostly positive. “Surprisingly, most people aren't frightened at the sight of the jewellery, but really like the idea，”Majerus told Fast Co Design.“Some regret that they didn't keep their tooth at the dentist and some, who will have teeth taken out soon, are now looking forward to it.”
7．When did Majerus get the idea of collecting human ivory?
A．After she bought a ring. B．Before her wisdom teeth appeared. C．Before she was lacking in pearls. D．After her wisdom teeth were pulled out. 8．Seeing Majerus' human ivory jewellery collection, most people felt ________． A．frightened B．interested C．sad D．curious 9．It can be inferred from the text that________.

A．Majerus is the first woman to create jewellery using human teeth B．other species' teeth are more precious than human teeth C．most people don't like keeping their pulled teeth at home D．Majerus' teachers objected to her experiments with teeth 10．What may be the best title for the text?
A．Elephants and ivory B．Human ivory jewellery C．A designer removed her teeth D．The weaknesses of human teeth
