Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”.People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 36 However,dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life.The expression,to lead a dog’s life,describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 37 They say that to be successful,a person has to work like a dog.This means they have to work very,very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation will be even worse if they become sick as a dog.
38 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful,people often have to learn new skills.Yet,some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
39 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want.Mean dogs are often used to guard this property.They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather.But we do not want it to rain too hard. 40
A.Still,people say every dog has its day. B.Dogs are humans’ best friends.
C.Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. D.We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
E.There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.
F.That means many people are competing for the same things,like good jobs. G.They take their dogs for walks,let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. 答案:36~40 GFACD

“We expected our first child to be perfect,” most parents have thought so.

I know that’s what I 41 of our oldest son,Joe.He would be perfect.Joe would sail through 42 from learning ABCs to being awarded a Ph.D.
Joe, 43 ,had other ideas.
He was always a 44 kid.He wasn’t the kind of boy who threw 45 at passing cars on a freezing winter day or who dropped water balloons on the mailman during the heat of August.
But he wasn’t perfect,especially when it came to that nice little 46 that I had about Joe’s sailing through school.From the day Joe started kindergarten he struggled — with scissors and handwriting and math.Always math.He passed each grade with great 47 ,never at the top of his class.
How I 48 friends who had children with the “math gene”.A mom told me her daughter was doing high school algebra(代数)while in the sixth grade.Another mom said her son had just taken first 49 in the district’s annual Math Challenge.
After hearing these stories,I would look at Joe and 50 :why didn’t we raise a mathematical talent?How is he ever going to get into 51 if he does not get better at math?Needless to say,my motherly 52 never really amounted too much.Does it ever?Moms tend to worry and worry,while whatever they’re worrying about usually 53 on its own.
During high school,Joe slowly 54 at math.He got through algebra Ⅰ & Ⅱ,and geometry(几何),our state requirements for math.I felt greatly 55 at his little achievement.Then he announced that he’d take pre-calculus(微积分)in his last year of high school,which 56 me a lot.
“Why?” I questioned.
“Because I need to keep my skills up,”he explained.“I 57 math,but I need to take it.”
“For college,” he added,“I want to do really well in college,Mom.I know it will be 58 but I think it’s important that I try my best.”
My oldest son wasn’t perfect.He wasn’t a math talent,either.But he knew what was important:he was focusing on his 59 while I was worrying over his past.And that,to me,is even better than being 60 . 41.A.worked B.continued C.expected 答案:C
解析:根据第一段中的“We expected our first child to be perfect”,可判断出此处应用expected。 42.A.books C.experience 答案:B
B.school D.situations D.showed
