The big red American car was much too wide for an English country road. When Jack saw it coming toward him, he stopped his own car at the side of the road to make room for it to pass. The American car went slowly past so close that he could see the driver’s face quite clearly.
"Where did I see that face before ?" he thought, “Wait a minute! I remember now. It was in the newspaper!" He took out the newspaper from his bag, turned quickly to the middle page. There was a picture of the face in it. Yes, it had a large mouth and small ears, and his eyes were behind dark glasses.
"Wanted by the police," read by Jack. “The City Bank will give a lot of money to anyone who helps the police to catch this man. "
"Call the police at once," he said to himself. But a few minutes later, he was sad. "This man was caught this morning," answered the police.

In America,when people say “man’s best friend”,they don’t mean another person. Instead,they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship(友谊)between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people,too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person(盲人)or “ears” for a deaf(耳聋)person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier,too. Because of that,they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America,you,too,can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet,take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don’t have a pet,be kind to animals around you. For example,if you see a street dog,just leave it alone,or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals,try to speak up. As people,we must protect(保护)animals who can’t speak for themselves.
49.“Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” is used to prove(证明) that ________.
A. pets have the right(权利)to inherit(继承)money
B. money can make pets happy
C. it’s the best way to spend money
D. some pets are as important to their owners as their children
50.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Dogs can help people in many ways. B. Dogs Call help people live happier.
C. Dogs can help people make everything. D.Dogs can make people’s lives richer.
51.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.A lot of people are interested in dogs.
B. Dogs can help people do many things.
C. Pets are lovely and need care and protection.
D. We have done a lot of things for pets.
C
Sometimes...
Sometimes I feel lonely,
Like I’m by myself with no one here.

My friends then help me figure out
What’s right and wrong, what’s false and real!

The haze(雾霾) season is back. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word “smog” is from the words “smoke” and “fog”. It is a kind of air pollution(污染) mostly because of cars and factories.
Smog will do great harm(伤害) to your health. It can make you cough and have skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to stop it hurting you. Here are some of them.

My name is Allen. I live in London now. But I was born in Sydney, Australia. We moved to England three years ago when my dad got a new job here. I didn’t want to leave Australia because I had a great life there. I had lots of friends and we had fun swimming almost every day after school. And the weather was always great.
At first, I didn’t like the life in London when we arrived. It was still winter, so the weather wasn’t very nice. It was really cold and it rained all the time. I didn’t have any friends. I felt sad and I wanted to go back to Australia. Things got better when I started school. All the kids at school were friendly to me. Now I enjoy living here. I think London is a great city.
