• 2．A Norfolk sheepdog named Peggy spent most of her life working on a farm and helping her human herd animals from place to place.She was great at her job，which requires keen intelligence and the ability to listen to a shepherd's signals.But everything changed when Peggy suddenly went deaf for unknown reasons.
     Peggy was sent to an animal shelter in 2018.With the shelter full，staffers tried to find a foster family for her to spend the holidays with.Thankfully，animal welfare manager Chloe Shorten stepped up to take her in! "We decided she could stay with us temporarily while we found somewhere more permanent to take her in，but we completely fell in love with her almost immediately and it soon became clear that she wouldn't be going anywhere!" Chloe said. "She was greasy and out of condition，untrusting，and frightened，" the shelter added.
     "She soon started to bond with me and we started taking her to fun places like the beach，something we don't think she has ever experienced before，" Chloe said. "With some tender loving care and good food，Peggy soon started to adjust to life.Several months on and Peggy has blossomed into a dog who is continuing to improve daily."
     One of the biggest ways Peggy's new family helped her adjust was getting her back to work.Working dogs are bred to do a specific job，and without a purpose，they can grow depressed and bored.So Chloe introduced the dog to hand signs and taught her to use her eyes in place of her ears while on the job.Now that she's 10，she's "generally retired，" but she still enjoys herding and continues to impress her family with how quickly she learns new skills.

• 3．Left to their own devices，most children won't hesitate to lick a doorknob or wipe a runny nose with their sleeve.But is there any truth to the idea that their affection for getting dirty can be beneficial to their health？
     That theory dates back to the 1800s，when European doctors realized that farmers suffered fewer allergies than city residents.However，it didn't gain widespread attention until 1989，when British epidemiologist David Strachan discovered that youngsters with older siblings were less likely to be infected than other kids with hay fever.Strachan suggested that early childhood infections transmitted by insanitary contact helped foster a strong immune（免疫的）system.
     His theory，called the hygiene hypothesis（衛(wèi)生假說），provides a convenient explanation for why allergies and autoimmune disorders，have increased 300 percent or more in the US since the 1950s.Maybe Western societies have become too clean for their own good，and parents too fearful of a little dirt.As microbiologist Graham Rook notes，getting a bit messy can help cultivate the thousands of microbial species that call the body home and keep it healthy.Providing that boost can be as easy as having pets，tending chickens，or playing in a green space.
     It's also wise to go easy on the antibiotics（抗生素）.Although they can be lifesavers for patients with severe bacterial infections，there's "a real risk of harm" from overuse，says John Lynch，a doctor at the University of Washington School of Medicine. "Regaining your native microbiota can be extremely hard，" he explains.All this is not to say youngsters should be messy.You definitely want them to wash their hands regularly，and cleaning high-touch surfaces is vital to avoid unpleasant infections like norovirus，Rook advised.Just don't go overboard and kill the bacteria on everything.As it turns out，kids probably do need a few germs to stay healthy.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "insanitary" mean in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Unclean.
  B．Wide.
  C．Risky.
  D．Protective.
  （2）Which of the following may be explained by the hygiene hypothesis？

  
  A．Dirt-free houses' reduce fever in children.
  B．Some farmers are highly allergic to flowers.
  C．Being too clean leads to increased allergies.
  D．A virus infection causes autoimmune disorders.
  （3）What is John Lynch's attitude to the use of antibiotics？

  
  A．Cautious.
  B．Supportive.
  C．Critical.
  D．Indifferent.
  （4）What might be Rook's advice for parents？

  
  A．Leaving high-touch surfaces dirty.
  B．Allowing kids to play in the garden.
  C．Replacing kids' pets with artificial ones.
  D．Making the playrooms absolutely clean.

• 9．Light a lamp and we can warm a heart.Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man，often complaining that he had been cheated by others and cursed his own misfortune.Having stayed in the city for years，he thought he accomplished nothing.
      One day，he told his wife he was so disappointed with the city that he had to leave it immediately.So，his family moved to another city，which he thought would bring good fortune to him.However，it was not easy for people to move to another place，for they had to handle quantities of stuffs and encounter many strangers.The whole family reached there in the evening of a weekend，with their clothes almost wet.It was a tough rainy night.The wind was howling dreadfully and the rain was pouring from the heaven，beating against the branches of lined trees on the road.The world was swallowed with a sea of darkness.Tired and wet，they didn't have time to have supper.Terry and his wife were busily tidying up their new home when the light suddenly went out.Worse still，the sudden darkness scared his children to cry immediately.Terry's wife hurried to hug them to ease their tension.Terry was regretful to have forgotten to bring along candles and had to wait helplessly in a low mood.
      Just then，he heard heavy but hesitant knocks on his door that could be clearly heard in the thundering night.Instantly，all the family were totally silent，for they were all curious about the knocks. "Who's it？" Terry asked，since they were newcomers to this city there must be nobody who knew them.Tired and busy，he especially hated to be disturbed at the moment，so he dragged his legs slowly to the door and opened it impatiently.Actually，Terry didn't realize his negative behavior would have a bad effect on his children at all!Outside the window，the wind and the thundering ruled the world entirely in their power.
