    My friend has a large police dog, Jim. Police dogs are often clever. Every Sunday afternoon my friend takes Jim for a long walk in the park. Jim likes these long walks in the park very much. One Sunday afternoon a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time. He talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jim for his walk. But the visitor still stayed. Jim became very worried about his walk in the park.But the visitor paid no attention. He went on talking. Finally Jim could not stand any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later.

    Like humans, dogs donate blood too, but not every dog can donate blood. The dogs are screened (检查) for health first.They may donate three or four pints (品脱) a year, which can help animals that are suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accident like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs.

    Owners volunteer their pets for the short procedure (程序), which requires no sedative, a kind of medicine given to calm him or her down. It's the dog that finally chooses to lie still and give.

    Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black German shepherd, Raina, to the mobile blood station (流动血站) when it was parked at her small village. Sandy said she wouldn't have troubled herself with highway traffic and city parking problems to take the dog to Penn Vet's animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is twice as far from her home.“I was very, very excited that she had the right blood that was needed to help another dog out,” said Sandy. “We'll surely do it again.”

A. If the dogs want to get up and leave, they can.

B. But the mobile blood station made it easy to find out if Raina could donate.

C. Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old.

D. He sat down again in front of the visitor but this time he held the visitor's hat in his mouth.

E. He walked around the room several times and then sat down in front of the visitor and looked at him.

Chinese writer Hai Ya's The Space-Time Painter won the Hugo Award(雨果奖)for Best Novelette(中短篇小说)on Oct. 21st. He became the third Chinese writer to win a Hugo Award after Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang. 

When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya drew his idea from a famous painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). It was created by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty. Based on Wang, Hai created a painter named Zhao Ximeng. After many hard times, Zhao's mind leaves his body and enters a space where a modern policeman is trying to solve a case(案件)about an ancient painting. 

Hai Ya's story with science fiction began in his childhood. "When I was a child. the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful garden in my mind that belonged to me only. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful'flowers';it opened a new world for me as a kid, "Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. 

Hai Ya's works feature a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem opposite:One looks back at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya's works, they find a perfeet balance. 

"If we can only imagine the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our imagination, "Hai Ya told Shenchen Special Zone Daily. "I don't think history is something completely in the past. It is flowing(流动的), and we can make predictions about the future by looking back at history.  ▲ , "he added. 

More Chinese writers today are trying to mix traditional culture with modern stories. Hai Ya believes that it is not a choice but a natural process. "Our history and culture have universal values(普世价值)that can touch everyone, "he said to Xinhua.

My sisters and I recently returned from visiting our beloved parents in Florida. For six days, we spent about six hours on the beach 1 . We really 2 ourselves there.

I usually read books on the beach while my mom and sisters enjoyed 3 shells(贝壳). This time they 4 their pockets and bags with seashells, and then took them home. On the last day of our trip,I joined the family 5 of collecting shells too. I grabbed handfuls of(一把) sand and picked out shell treasures. Having 6 so many shell handicrafts(手工艺品) made by my mom and sisters before, I used to take shells for granted(理所当然). But I couldn't help but feel 7 at the shells in Florida. Some were big and in different 8 while some were no bigger than a nail, which was unbelievable.

 Many people know there's a beach full of 9 in Western Australia, which is over 74 miles long! It's called Shell Beach. But nobody exactly knows 10 seashell species(品种) there are on the beach:11 as many as 200,000 different kinds. However, very few of the shells have pearls(珍珠) in them. 12 The Science Network,"A finished pearl takes 15 to 20 years to make, which 13 why a ton of shells might produce as few as three pearls. The probabilities(概率) of them being 14 pearls are, exactly, one in a million."

I was lost in thought. The chances of finding a pearl in a shell are more than one in a million. Compared with shells,15 isn't so hard. The shells with pearls are valued by people and so is the person who gets to the top. So try to be a pearl on the beach!

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Billy Ray Harris was homeless. He spent each day on the streets of Kansas City, begging for money or food. Every day, as he sat thinking about his life, he occasionally heard the sound of a coin or two coming into his cup. One day, the noise was louder than usual. If Billy had looked up, he'd have seen a young lady on her way to work. But he didn't. Later when he looked into the cup, he could hardly believe what he saw. At the bottom was a shining diamond ring.

Billy's first thought was to go straight to a jeweller's(珠宝店) and that's exactly what he did. To his amazement, he was offered $4,000. Billy thought long and hard. Was this a mistake? It was more money than he'd seen in a long time. But then he thought about his grandfather, who had brought him up always to do the right thing, and knew he had to reconsider. His mind was made up. He'd keep the ring and maybe one day its owner would return.

Two days later, a young woman came while he was begging. She introduced herself as Sarah Darling and asked if he'd found anything unusual in his cup. Billy reached into his pocket and pulled out the ring. When he saw the smile on her face, he knew he'd made the right decision. She explained when putting the coins into his cup, she'd forgotten putting her ring in her purse.

But the story doesn't end there. Sarah told her husband the story and wanted to post it on the Internet. He thought it was a good idea. They also called on raising money for Billy. They had more than $185,000. Billy Ray Harris no longer spends his days begging. He has a home and a job. The story also made the local news and he was reunited with his two sisters, who he hadn't seen for 16 years. If he hadn't done the right thing, he wouldn't have seen his sisters again.
