Everyone may dream at night. Do you always believe your dream? Some dreams make us feel relaxed and happy, while some dreams frighten us. Don’t you think so? I even had such an experience.

One day I noticed the brakes (刹车) on my car getting weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop. I knew I needed new brakes, but I had many other things to do. So I didn’t take it seriously.

Then on Christmas Eve, I had an awful dream. I was driving my car on a bright, sunny day when suddenly a truck appeared on the road in front of me. I pushed on my brakes but they didn’t work and I hit that truck. The terrible dream woke me up at once and I made up my mind to change my brakes the next day. When the worker took out the old ones, I noticed that they had worn thin.

One day, I was driving home with my daughter beside me and my two sons in the back seat. Suddenly, a truck came from the other direction. It was running too fast and moved two feet over the center line. I hit my brakes and led my car toward the side of the road. We were surprised that the huge truck missed us by only a foot. It was too dangerous.

Later when I lay in my bed, I realized if I didn’t get my brakes changed, I couldn’t slow down fast enough. My children and I may be hurt or killed. I closed my eyes and gave thanks for that dream.

C．on Christmas Day D．on a bright, sunny day

33．What can you learn from the passage?

A．Every family has its own problem. B．A stitch (缝补) in time saves nine.

C．Behind bad luck comes good luck. D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

The next morning the doorbell rings. Roger and Helen run to open the door. It’s Aunt Elizabeth, and she’s got a big metal box. She hugs the children. Then she opens the box very carefully. It’s full of small pieces of ice. She puts her hand into the ice and she slowly takes out a big egg. “This egg is from an ice cave in Greenland. It’s very special. Now I need your help.”

“What do you want us to do?” ask the children.

“I want to see what happens when we put the egg in a warm place. There is no heating in my office at the museum during the summer,” says Aunt Elizabeth. “I thought I could leave it here.”

“Yippee! An experiment!” shout the children.

They get a cardboard box and put the egg inside. Then they put the box next to the radiator in the kitchen.

Aunt Elizabeth comes to check the egg every day but nothing happens. Then, one day while the children are having their breakfast they hear a noise.

“Look at the egg,” shouts Helen. “Something’s happening. It’s cracking.” Slowly a long beak appears. “It’s a bird,” says Roger.

“No, it isn’t,” answers Helen. “It hasn’t got any feathers.”

“Of course it’s a bird, stupid. Baby birds haven’t got feathers.”

The animal opens its beak.

“Let’s give it a sausage,” says Roger.

Helen gives a sausage to the animal. The animal is very hungry. It eats five sausages, two cooked tomatoes and six pieces of toast.

C．Aunt Elizabeth opens the big metal box very quickly.

You may have heard of therapy (治疗) dogs or even therapy pigs, but what about a therapy horse? Meet Peyo, the 15-year-old stallion (公马) who spends his days doing the rounds at Calais Hospital in France. He helps offer comfort to cancer patients and their families.

Peyo used to train for equestrian (马术的) shows. One day, his owner, Bouchakour, happened to find that his horse had a different, more unique ability. After shows, Peyo would pick people out of the crowd and remain close to them.

Bouchakour later realized that his horse was born with the ability to choose people that were sick. The trainer soon gave up his career as a sportsman. He decided to use Peyo’s special ability to bring peace and comfort to those who most needed it.

The horse has been a volunteer at Calais Hospital since 2016. It is popular with everyone at the hospital, but he’s especially useful when patients are nearing the end of their lives. Having Peyo by their side brings the patients joy in their final moments and helps them have a more peaceful passing. And in some cases, this can reduce their pain so greatly that they no longer require the use of strong drugs.

Since beginning his career as a therapy horse, Peyo has made this end-of-life period less painful for more than 1,000 patients. Not only does Peyo help the sick, but he’s also a true friend to his trainer. “Peyo is my other half. He is my life partner.” Bouchakour says.

37．The underline word “unique” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．awful B．common C．useless D．unusual

38．The trainer gave up his career as a sportsman because ________.

A．he decided to work as a doctor in a French hospital

B．he realized that Peyo was not good at equestrian shows

C．he wanted to use his horse’s ability to help people in need

D．he wanted to make more money by using the ability of Peyo

39．From the last three paragraphs, we know that the horse ________.

A．was just a tool to make money to his owner

B．helped some patients have a peaceful ending

C．kept kicking the door if a patient needed attention

D．could cure the patients near the end of their lives

40．What’s Bouchakour like according to this passage?

A．Serious. B．Helpful. C．Polite. D．Humorous.

71．

     Hello, everyone. My name is Li Hua. In the past one year, I have changed a lot.

     First, in the past I seldom read books. I used to spend most of my time playing computers games. Now I find it interesting to do some reading because good books help me relax after a busy day. Second, I sometimes shouted loudly in public places. Now, I can behave politely in public and I often give my seat to someone in need on the bus. Third, I didn’t know how to care about others in the past. But now I have realized the importance of protecting the environment. Meanwhile, I offer to help my blind neighbors and donate all my pocket money to Project Hope.

     Thanks for listening!
