    It is a Saturday morning．You have your breakfast，walk the dog，and then go to soccer practice on time．A few hours later, you return home，only to find that the dog has made your bedroom untidy．Your clothes are on the floor．{#blank#}1{#/blank#}．

    Before you get angry, you should stop and think．Your dog wasn't misbehaving(捣蛋)just for the fun of it．And he wasn't punishing(惩罚)for leaving．{#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's called separation anxiety(分离焦虑)

    Thank of it this way :Dogs ask where you're going or when you'll be back．{#blank#}3{#/blank#}All they know is that they want to be with you．Since you're not there，they need to find you．Dogs may suddenly develop separation anxiety．But with practice and patience(耐心)，you can teach your dog to be comfortable being left alone．

    Put on your jacket，and then sit down．{#blank#}4{#/blank#}After a while，walk out the door for 1 minute，then 2 and so on．Little by little your dog will learn that when you leave，you will return．

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Teach your dog a word or action that you use every time you leave，which tells your dog you'll be back．

    ·Before you leave，give your dog a toy(玩具).It will keep him busy while you're away．

    You may feel comfortable with some people. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half a life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.

    How is it done?{#blank#}1{#/blank#}If you follow the skills, you'll make friends with people quickly.

    First of all, good talkers ask questions.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to some other questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your question should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.

    Real listening at least means some things.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}If someone sticks to one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones (语气) of voice. If the voice sounds boring, then, it's time for you to change the subject.

    Finally, good talkers know well when to say good-bye. Remember to give him a handshake and say, “I've really enjoyed meeting you.”{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

Dear Editor，

    I'm a high school student. One day，on my way to school I found that along the river bank in Zhaowang River Park，the road was badly destroyed and some color bricks had disappeared，which would affect people's going out. ①Perhaps these bricks were carried away by some people nearby and kept by themselves. ②我对此事感到伤心。

    Since the public facilities are often destroyed like that，I suggest that our government should repair the road as soon as possible and take some measures to protect these public facilities. And as to us students，whenever we find someone destroying our public facilities，we should make efforts to stop him or her in time. Only in this way can we have a more beautiful and comfortable city to live in.

    International travelers, whether traveling for business or pleasure, will find themselves alone from time to time. Here are a few ways to meet new people and perhaps even get new travel chances.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}⑴Be polite and friendly. Remember to put yourself in social situations. Restaurants, shops and parks are all great places to meet people. If you want to make local friends in a country, stay near the places the locals often visit.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}⑵Keep a small photo album in your bag when you travel. Photos of family, friends and pets will help your new friends learn more about you. They will share their similar experiences with you, and it will help you learn more about your new friends.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}⑶Can you help your new friends improve their Chinese? Can you cook a traditional Chinese meal? By sharing your experiences, you can have a close relationship with your new friends that they won't soon forget.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}⑷Many foreigners love Chinese goods but have to pay a lot when buying them in homeland, so you'd better prepare some gifts such as silks, tea and china (瓷器). They are always popular.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}⑸If you and your new friends get along well, you can give them your information and plan to live in each other's house for your next trip. Then you can visit their countries and stay in their houses while they stay in yours. In this way you will improve your friendship and live like a local abroad, but pay less for traveling.

    Some people from the country think that city life is the most interesting. They come to visit friends or go to a hotel in the city. They may stay for a few days or as long as a week.

    Some visitors think that foreign restaurants are the best part of city life. Others have the nicest time in museums. But many people think that movies or concerts are the most important attractions of the city. And most visitors like to go shopping for clothes or presents.

    In the city there are also many parks, different types of people, tall buildings, and other interesting things to see. Cities have the busiest streets and city life seems very busy, too.

    After a few days in the city, the visitors begin to think about the country. They remember the trees and flowers. Suddenly they do not want to be near the tallest buildings or the busiest streets. Now they want to return home in the country.
