When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”, My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her ,then there were baths, playing catch and many other games . Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
th
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone. Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
21. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family? A. Look at them sadly. B. Keep them company. C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently. 22. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie __

Chicago---Swedish researchers have found drinking a couple of cups of tea every day might help reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
The study involved 61,057 Swedish women who answered a questionnaire about
their diets and then were tracked for an average of 15 years through 2014.
During that time, 301 women developed ovarian cancer. Those who reported drinking two or more cups of tea a day were 46 percent less likely to develop the disease than women who drank no tea. Drinking less than two cups also appeared to help, but not as much.
The researcher did not break out the results by tea types, but most of the tea drinkers consumed black tea. Both black and green tea contain polyphenols---substances thought to block cell damage that can lead to cancer.
Their study was published in Monday’s Archives of Internal Medicine. “If these findings are real, they’d be important because ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women,” said Margi Mc McCullough, a nutritional expert at the American Cancer Society.
Dr. Julie Buring of Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, who studies chronic（慢性的） diseases and cancer, said that factors other than tea drinking might explain the results, and that the tea drinkers may have been healthier than the other women.
“Certainly the idea of exploring agents or lifestyles that would make a difference on ovarian cancer would be very timely and important,” Buring said, “My concern is with these kinds of studies, that people who drink two cups of tea daily are different from people who don’t in ways that go through their whole lifestyle.”
Ovarian cancer is diagnosed in more than 20,000 U.S.women yearly. On average, U.S. women face about a 1-in-58 chance of developing the disease. It is hard to detect（发现）early because its symptoms can be vague. 26. Which is the main idea of this passage?
A. New findings about tea drinking. B. The prevention of ovarian cancer. C. The treatment of ovarian cancer.
D. The more tea you drink, the healthier you will be.
27. According to the discoveries made by the Swedish researches, ____ A. Drinking only one cup of tea may not reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer
B. The women who don’t drink tea will develop ovarian cancer. C. Drinking tea is probably good for one’s health.
D. The women who drink tea will never develop ovarian cancer. 28. Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word? A. found B. valuable C. seen D. unclear C
To have a positive attitude means to deal more easily with the daily demands of life. It brings optimism into your life. If you choose to have a positive attitude towards life, it will bring positive changes into your life and makes you happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of things. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth development and strengthening. And only you can do that, no one else.
Have you ever heard the expression, “Your attitude is your altitude”? It’s really true.
Attitude goes a long way in being successful. We all have worked with people with a bad attitude and with people with a great attitude and did you have a preference of which person you would prefer to work with? Of course you did!
Attitude is not determined by conditions, but by how we respond to conditions. It’s how we react towards a situation and not the situation itself that determines our attitude. The attitude we choose to face our challenges will determine our success or failure.
To have a positive attitude about everything is really beneficial and will make you relaxed. Negativity takes lots of energy out of you mentally and physically. But by being positive about life in general, you could achieve a whole of more. When you have a positive attitude you naturally attract people who have the same attitude as you. If you are happy, you attract people who are happy to you. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude. It doesn’t mean that you will not have disappointments or challenges in your life, because these are inevitable( 不可避免的) whether you carry a positive attitude or not. But the way you deal with those challenges determines what is your attitude. Your attitude is
