Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.

Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”

“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”

So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”
 “How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”

Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitation when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”

“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”

A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30 p.m. In fact they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained（抱怨）.”

Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.

When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him, “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”

“I did,” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.

4. What made Mr. and Mrs. Harris hold a party at their house?

A. They had gone to other people’s parties many times.

B. They could ask people to dinner in small numbers.

D. About two hours.

6. When did the party end that evening?
 A. At about 8:30 p.m.

B. When the policeman talked with Mr. Harris on the plane.

C. About twelve o’clock.

D. When someone telephoned the police station.

7. Why did Mr. Harris telephoned the policeman about the noise?

B. He did not want his friends to stay late that night.

C. His friends had a good time that night and also feel tired.

D. Because he hated the noise.

Last Thursday, Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake — stricken area.

The idea came from the bridegroom’s father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who’ve suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.

Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients（接受者）.

On Tuesday evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It’s like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don’t even have the most basic things,” Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”

8. Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?
 A. To attend Michael and Linda’s wedding.

B. To escape the damaging earthquake.

C. To support the organization.

D. To help distribute free daily meals.

9. How did the couple celebrate their wedding?

A. They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.

B. They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.

C. They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.

D. They took photos with the grateful victims.

10. What does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean?
 A. took in.        B. moved towards.

C. discussed with.       D. came across.

11. We can know from the text that ______.

A. Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him.

B. Ted was a representative of the organization.

C. Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard it.

D. Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern Turkey.

D

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.

But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often — especially after you touch, feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.

You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub（浴缸）, but if you do, always disinfect（消毒）the tub immediately afterward.

Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw（生的）meat because it can carry germs（细菌）that cause serious illness.

And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.

Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.

Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned（被抛弃的）animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

12. The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.

A. help us keep healthy      B. bring us luck

C. be great friends       D. do harm to us.

13. What will make the cats sick?

A. Give them clean, fresh water to drink.

B. Let them drink the cow’s drink.

C. Wear gloves while cleaning the cats’ litter boxes.

D. Let them drink their mothers’ milk.

14. Which is the RIGHT way to feed your pet?

A. Giving your cat cooked fish.

B. Letting your dog drink from the toilet.

C. Feeding your little cat with raw meat.

D. Sharing your chocolate with your dog.

15. According to the text, when you meet an abandoned dog, you should ______.

A. help to find its owner      B. bring it back to your home

C. give it first aid in time     D. call an animal rescue group
