11．Xiangzi-Lucky，in English-is appropriately named．His owner Qiu Hong，a sports marketer，lets the dog enjoy two daily walks，a collection of imported American toys，$300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment．When Ms．Qiu feels bored，she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car．
In a sense，Xiangzi is not just a dog，but a social phenomenon-and，perhaps，a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen．Twenty years ago，there were hardly any dogs in Beijing，but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed．How this came to be is，in some ways，the story of modern China as well．
"People used to be focused on improving their own lives，and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，"said Ms．Qiu．"But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks （觀念） have changed．"
Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives，but mostly Beijing dogs have，as in the West，become objects of affection-even devotion-by their owners．It's easy to find dog-treat stores，dog Web sites，dog social networks，dog swimming pools-even，for a time recently，a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row．
The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart．In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to"severely restrict"dogs．In 2003，it was changed again to allow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters  in height．And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out．
As for stir-fried Pekingese （京叭狗）-well，that dog，too，may have seen its day．A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen，who considered himself"not so much a dog lover as a China lover"．"With China developing so quickly，more people should know how to treat animals properly，"he said in a telephone interview．
 
66．What's the main idea of the first paragraph？B
A．Xiang Zi is a clever dog
B．Xiangzi lives a happy life．
C．Qiu Hong has a lot of money
D．Qiu Hong is very busy．

C．a(chǎn)re good at making money

A．pet owners can be as devoted as the dog
B．there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003
C．Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice
D．Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only
69．Which is NOT mentioned in the article？D
A．China's economical development．

1．Most evenings，before watching late-night comedy or reading emails on his phone，Matt Nicoletti puts on a pair of orange-colored glasses that he bought for S8on the Internet．
"My girlfriend thinks I look ridiculous in them，"he said．But Mr．Nicoletti，a 30-year-old consultant in Denver，insists that the glasses，which can block certain wavelengths of light emitted by electronic screens，make it easier to sleep．
Studies have shown that such light，especially from the blue part of the spectrum （光譜），inhibits the body's production of melatonin（褪黑激素），which helps people fall asleep．Options arc growing for blocking blue light，though experts caution that few have been adequately tested for effectiveness and the best solution remains avoiding brightly lit electronics at night．
A Swiss study of 13teenage boys，published in August in The Journal of Adolescent Health．showed that when the boys wore orange-colored glasses，also known as'blue blockers'and shown to prevent melatonin，in the evening for a week，they felt"significantly more sleepy"than when they wore clear glasses．The boys looked at their screens，as teenagers tend to do，for at least a few hours on average before going to bed，and were monitored in the lab．
Older adults may be less affected by blue light，experts say，but blue light remains a problem for most people，and an earlier study of 20adults aged 18to 68found that those who wore orange-colored glasses for three hours before bed improved their sleep quality considerably relative to a control group that wore yellow-colored lenses，which blocked only ultraviolet（紫外線）light．
LEDs used in devices such as smart phones，tablets and televisions tend to emit more blue light than incandescent products（白熾產(chǎn)品）．LEDs are also increasingly popular as room lights，but"warm white"bulbs，with less blue，tend to be a better choice than"cool white"for nighttime use．The lighting company Philips also makes a reduced-blue LED bulb，meant to be used妙fore bedtime．"In theory，anything that will decrease that blue light exposure at night will be helpful．"said Christopher Colwell，a scientist at the UCLA，"I know some gainers who swear by those orange-colored glasses．"
But orange glasses are not a panacea（萬能藥）．Dr．Skene said．"It isn't just getting rid of the blue and everything's fine，"she said．The intensity of light，in addition to color，can affect sleep，she said，and not all brands of orange-colored glasses have undergone enough independent testing for their ability to aid sleep．
During the daytime，experts say，exposure to blue light is good．Best of all is sunlight，which contains many different wavelengths of light．"That's what our brain knows，"said Kenneth P．Wright Jr．，director of the sleep and chronobiology（生物鐘學(xué)）lab at the University of Colorado，Boulder．
A 2013study he led，published in the journal Current Biology，showed just how different things can be without nighttime lights．After participants had camped in the mountains for a week，their bodies began to prepare for sleep about two hours earlier than normal．
Short of cutting out all evening electronics，experts say，it's advisable to use a small screen rather than a large one； dim the screen and keep it as far away from the eyes as possible； and reduce the amount of time spent reading the device．
"If you can look at the iPhone for 10minutes rather than three hours，that makes a lot of difference，"Dr．Skene said．
63．What does the underlined word"inhibit"in Paragraph 3probably mean？A
A．prevent          B．promote          C．project           D．process
64．Which of the following statements is true？D
A．The older a person is，the less he or she will be affected by blue light．
B．The exposure to the blue light does nothing but harm to the human body．
C．Traditional lighting companies are facing a dead end due to backward technology．
D．All brands of orange-colored glasses are not reliable for their ability to aid sleep．
65．What are the contributing factors of a better night's sleep？D
①Limited screen time before bed．
②A pair of color glasses．
③A small-sized screen of electronics．
④A place without nighttime lights．
⑤Devices with LED backlighting．

2．Every year some 15，000 animals-mostly mice-are shipped into the UK for research．Some leading scientists are warning that pressure from animal rights activists is reducing the number of animals being brought into Britain for research．All ferry companies and all but two airlines have stopped importing animals intended for research laboratories．
Lord Drayson，who was a minister under the last Labour government，said animal research was"regrettably"necessary and that people would"suffer and die"without it．"If we do want to have access to medicines，and I believe that we do-in a survey carried out in the past 10 years more than 87% of the general public have said that they support animal research for medical uses．And so unfortunately we do have to do this．"
However，Alistair Currie from People，for the Ethical Treatment of Animals （PETA） said researchers should work harder to come up with alternatives to animal testing．"More man 90% of drugs that pass trials in animals fail when they're given to people，"he said．They either prove to be unsafe or simply ineffective．"
The BBC's Tom Fielden says animal rights campaigners have been imprisoned for taking direct action against laboratories in the past and more recently have focused on creating bad PR （public relations）．He says this has included letter-writhing and web-based campaigns against transport companies，which appear to have had an effect．
But the scientists who depend on the animals for their work have now decided to speak out to try to persuade the government and the transpon companies to stand up to the campaigners．Professor Robin Lovell-Badge，a geneticist at me National Institute for Medical Research （NIMR），told the BBC it was important that scientists were able to import animals，so they could work together with colleagues abroad．Dominic Wells of the Royal Veterinary College （RVC） said，"The problem is that they can't be put in a suitable transport．"
63．Now animal rights campaigners are trying to affect importing animals byD．
    A．finding alternatives to animal testing    B．creating bad public relations
    C．taking direct action against labs         D．stopping transport animals to UK
64．According to Lord Drayson，importing animals isA
    A．optional                             B．necessary                     
    C．unreasonable                         D．unconditional
65．Who is against importing animals for research？B
    A．Alistair Currie form PETA．       B．Tom Fielden from the BBC．
    C．Robin Lovell-Badge from the NIMR． D．Dominic Wells from the RVC．
66．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A
    A．Activists stopping direct action against imports
    B．Importing animals contributing to medicine
    C．Activists'pressure slowing animal imports
    D．No animal imports，no medical research．

One year，through a series of unhappy events，it all fell apart．I found myself homeless and alone．I had my truck and﹩56．I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount．I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley．I hadn't been alone for 25 years．I was scared，but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me．I found the owner and rented the place for﹩50 a month．The locals knew nothing about me．But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor．They dropped off blankets，tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat．They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing．They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream，not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness．Men would stop by with wild berries，ice cream，truck parts to see if I needed some．The women on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met．They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe．I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company．

The American dream I believe in now is a shared one．It's not so much about what I can get for myself； it's about how we can all get by together．
