Two Types of Dog Trainers
Pet Dog Trainers
Many pet dog trainers are self-employed small business owners. In addition to training dogs, they also must attend to the details of running a business. Some enter this field with love for dogs only to find that they don't feel the same about running a business. The other thing that disappoints or even breaks some new trainers is handling owners of dogs. People have more varied personalities than the dogs they own. They will come to you with different opinions on what works and they may even question your training methods.
Service Dog Trainers
Training service dogs can be an attractive choice, because you get in-depth work with the dogs and you are performing a valuable and popular public service. There are no dog owners to deal with until the training is over. [来源:学|科|网]
You also do not have to run a business because most service dog training is done through non-profit organizations. But there are also some downsides. You need to be physically fit to work with large dogs all day long. Pay is usually low because it is a non-profit service.
How to Become a Dog Trainer
You should start by reading books on dog training. Dealing with your own dog is good practice. If you know a professional dog trainer in your area, ask if you can work as an assistant.
More Information about a Dog Training Career
There are two professional organizations that offer dog training certifications. Join these organizations and follow their instructions on becoming certified. The two organizations are: The Association of Professional Dog Trainers, National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors.To find a service dog school, please click USA Service Dog Registration.
21. What may cause some people to give up being pet dog trainers?
A. Lacking skills to operate a business. B. Hating to be asked so many questions.
C. Failing to reach agreements with dog owners. D. Knowing little about how to properly train dogs.
22. Which is the benefit of being a service dog trainer?
A. The non-profit service pays you well. B. You may become physically fit.
C. Service dogs are much easier to train. D. You can train dogs the way you like.
23. Where is the text properly taken from?
A. A job website. B. A training center ad.
C. An animal magazine. D. A pet care brochure.

Before my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of life. I imagined celebrating every milestone-bonding with her as a newborn, seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. I didn't think of feeding tubes, long hospital stays or an organ transplant(移植). For Evelyn, the first year included all and more.
Evelyn came into this world at just 34 weeks, weighing less than 3 pounds. Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that can damage the liver(肝脏), heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant. Our family moved nearer to UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.
When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list, it was under the liver allocation policy in place at that time, which was map-based. This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates. We were told it would likely take three months. Just then, a new policy for liver allocation was tried out. Under the new system, the sickest child patients get first priority(优先). The new policy was only in effect for a little over a week. But in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant. Had it been just one week earlier or later, we would not have received the call.
As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change. I am also sad, because the new policy was short-lived. That means another mom like me might not receive that phone call with good news.
Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, we can and must do better for children.
24. What probably happened to Evelyn shortly after she was born?
A. She failed to give a smile. B. She had a serious liver failure.
C. She said her first word quickly. D. She suffered from a heart attack.
25. Why did the author's family move nearer to the hospital?
A. To save time. B. To save money.
C. To see a doctor. D. To get first priority.
26. What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?
A. Evelyn is healthy now. B. They waited too long.
C. They were one week earlier. D. Her daughter is fortunate.
27. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A. We must guarantee kids have healthy livers. B. Kids should have chances of a liver transplant.
C. The sickest kids should get liver transplants first. D. The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.
C
Famous for its tolerance as well as its narrow houses and broad canals, Amsterdam is undergoing a change of attitude when it comes to the millions of tourists that come to see it each year. Tolerance has reached its limits in the capital of Dutch, which is now actively urging visitors to head elsewhere.
Ellen van Loon, a partner at Dutch architectural firm OMA says, "We don't want to turn into a Venice. While tourism earns the Dutch economy around 82 billion euros a year, the problem we are currently facing is that Amsterdam is so loved by tourists, we just have so many coming to the city. "
Netherlands tourist officials recently took the decision to stop advertising the country as a tourist destination. Their "Perspective 2030"report, published earlier this year, stated that the focus will now be on "destination management" rather than "destination promoting". The document also describes the country's future strategy, acknowledging that Amsterdam's livability will be severely influenced by "visitor overload" if action isn't taken.
Solutions listed include working to discourage groups of visitors by either limiting or completely shutting down
accommodation and entertainment products aimed at them, as well as spreading visitors to other parts of the Netherlands. Some of these measures have already come into play. Last year, the famous "I Amsterdam" sign was removed from outside the Rijksmuseum, the city's main art gallery. The two-meter high letters have been moved to various less-er-known neighborhoods in a bid to entice travelers to leave the center of the city.
But will the measures being put in place be enough to save it from being damaged by its own success? Like
many other locals, Van Loon fears that Amsterdam has already lost its uniqueness forever. "The reason tourists come here is that there's something in the character of Amsterdam they love, "she explains. "But at a certain point, when the number of tourists is increasing and increasing, they actually kill what they loved in the first place. "
28. What does van Loon mean by saying"We don't want to turn into a Venice"?
A. Venice is suffering from overtourism. B. Amsterdam doesn't necessarily copy Venice.
C. Venice does more poorly than Amsterdam. D. Amsterdam is more popular than Venice.
29. Why did Amsterdam advise visitors to head elsewhere?
A. To reduce its pressure of mass visitors. B. To turn the focus on destination promoting.
C. To promote the development of other areas. D. To avoid much spending on city management.
30. What does the underlined word"entice"in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Force. B. Persuade. C. Inform. D. Allow.
31. What's van Loon's attitude to the measures?
A. Optimistic. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Ambiguous.
D
For a few months twice a year, the waters off California are home to gray whales moving north or south between the coast of Mexico and the Bering Sea. This year, however, it seems that fewer whales are surviving the journey north. So far this, a total of 30 dead gray whales have washed up on the West Coast: Eight in Washington, one in Oregon and 21 in California. Those numbers are unusually high.
In Northern California, three out of four of the dead whales that have been examined so far appear to have died of starvation and the fourth was killed by a ship strike, said Barbie Halaska, a research assistant at The Marine(海洋的) Mammal Center(TMMC), a nonprofit organization the rescues and rehabilitates(使康复) marine mammals in California. Halaska and her colleagues examined the four whales -- three young whales and one adult male --and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days.
Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2 ,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946, so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23 ,000 individuals and TMMC predicts there are now around 26 ,000 gray whales in
the Pacific Ocean, which is about how many there were before the whaling boom got up steam almost 200 years ago.
Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead whales washing up this year is alarming, Halaska said. Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales' poor health, she said.
Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out for gray whales this time of year.
32. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about?
A. Severe conditions facing gray whales. B. An agreement to stop killing whales.
C. The evolving development of gray whales. D. The number of gray whales in different times.
33. What's Halaska's attitude towards the population of gray whales?
A. Worried. B. Discouraged. C. Optimistic. D. Uncaring.
34. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. The importance of gray whales. B. Gray whales' living environment.
C. Things to do to help gray whales. D. Ways to increase gray whales population.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Gray Whales Are Threatened by whalers B. Why Many Gray Whales Died on California's Coast
C. Gray Whales Are in Great Danger of Dying Out D. Where Gray Whales Move to Avoid Being Hunt

of their teachers. Those students will miss the joys of their school life可知,选项D“学校显然对学生有健康的影响”与上下文衔接最好,故选D。

Proposal
Dear schoolmates,
Over the past days, the novel virus has made its way around the China. It has a strong impact on our life and study. Faced with the crisis, we students should respond actively to the appeal from authority and experts. In order to ease the serious condition, all of students had better do as follows.
First of all, stay at home and don't go out if not necessary. Be responsible for yourself and others. In addition, do wear masks while you are in the open air. As we all know, it can reduce the risk of contacting the virus. Washing hands as often as possible is needed, too. Most importantly, everyone ought to have a positive attitude to the campaign with the disease. Attitude is everything.
My dear friends, there may be a long way to go for us. Let's work hand in hand to overcome anxiety and do our bit. We have faith in the fact that tomorrow is another day.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said, “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free groceries. This may be your lucky day:"
For several weeks Mrs Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things, which she did not need.She dreamed of the day when the supermarket would approach her and say;“ Madam, this is your lucky day.Everything in your basket is free.
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and taken it to her car, she found hat she had forgotten to buy tea. She dashed back to the supermarket,got the tea and went towards the cash desk. As she did so,she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her “ Madam,"
he said holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are the lucky customer and everything in your basket is free!”
