Today, by carefully choosing dog parents, humans have created many different kinds of dogs. Each kind has its own look and talents, and its own role within human society. Here are three examples of “a dog’s life” in the human world.
Today, many hospitals let specially trained dogs in to bring love and cheer to patients. Shaynee is a therapy dog. She visits children who are in hospital. Dogs like Shaynee help patients feel calm and at peace, which can be hard in a busy hospital. They help both children and adults stay strong during long hospital stays, and even help them get better.
Today, some beagles(小猎犬) work in airports for the government. They are part of the program called the Beagle Brigade. A beagle is good for the work because of its powerful nose, and ability to follow smells. The Beagle Brigade’s job is to smell everything that comes into the country. They make officers notice illegal (非法的) fruits, vegetables and other foods in luggage or in mail. The beagles do the job far better than any human could.
While some dogs are working hard, others are free to spend their days resting and playing. Across the world, many pet dogs are treated like children. Many have their own rooms and all the things a dog could want. Some even have their own clothes. Many of these pets spend their days playing, learning to follow, or even going to classes. Their owners give them the best, and enjoy doing so.
Whether as workers or objects of affection(钟情), dogs have become helpful to humans in many ways. There are plenty of advantages for the dog, too. Many kinds of wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the Earth. However, the domestic dog’s special place as “man’s best friend” has allowed it to survive in a human world.
26. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Dogs can take care of patients. B. Patients need love in the hospital.
C. Hospitals need many special dogs. D. Doctors are too busy to see patients.
27. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To ask people to treat dogs as their own children.
B. To explain why humans need beagles in their work.
C. To tell people about the history of dogs’ development.
D. To show a good relationship between dogs and humans.

But one night, Ethan and Benjamin had a fight. Benjamin walked out of the room angrily, he said no more to his father that night.

Eight more years passed, still they had nothing to say to each other. Ethan was getting very old. One night, Benjamin looked at his father for the first time in weeks.

Benjamin quickly put his hand over his father’s mouth. The old man did not try to talk anymore. His eyes closed again and passed away in peace.
The doctor said, “He wanted to say something before he died. Why did you stop him?” Benjamin answered, “It was my father who first made the decision that we should not talk. I did not want to hear him say he was sorry. I did not want him to ever think he was wrong.”
When he entered the old quiet house that night, everything seemed strange. He said to himself, “This will be a lonely house now.”

Recently, "college students going to Zibo for barbecue" and "taking a high-speed train to taste Zibo barbecue" have become hot topics on Chinese social platforms. Zibo barbecue offers a distinctive dining experience. On each table is a small stove. Customers can process skewers(肉串) themselves and then wrap them in a thin pancake, usually with a spring onion inside. The experience makes "Zibo barbecue" quite different from other kinds of barbecue.
Data(数据) from Meituan and Dazhong Dianping shows that booking volume(总量) for hotels in Zibo during the five-day May Day holiday is 800 percent higher than that in 2019. Local media in Zibo said the number of passengers arriving and leaving through Zibo railway station has reached 50,000 a day, setting a record in the past three years, with most of them being tourists who come to taste Zibo barbecue.
The local government has caught the chance brought by the sudden trend, to attract more tourists. As early as March 10, it has set up prizes for barbecue shops that are popular among tourists, set up a barbecue organization, and announced the opening of a barbecue festival during the May Day holiday. In order to encourage people to visit the city, Zibo set up a specially customized "barbecue map", and added 21 new barbecue bus lines, so that tourists can "get on the bus to rest, get off to eat".
"Barbecue and tourism may not have too much influence on stimulating the economy(刺激经济), but this is a chance for more people to get to know Zibo's enthusiasm and business environment, which will attract more investment(投资) and create more jobs. This is what really matters," Wang Dazhuang, a local Zibo citizen said. At present, the biggest problem is that the passenger flow is too big for this city so that many owners of barbecue restaurants are trying to expand(扩大) their barbecue business, according to an owner of a barbecue restaurant.
33. What does the underlined word "distinctive" mean?
A. delicious B. special C. great D. relaxing
34. What does the data show in Paragraph 2?
A. Zibo has a tourism boom(激增) because of Zibo barbecue.
B. Zibo is often crowded during the May Day holiday.
C. Not many people went to Zi bo until recently.
D. Barbecue has become the symbol of Zibo.
35. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us about?
A. Why Zibo becomes so popular on the Internet so quickly.
B. How Zibo has tried to develop the city tourism.
C. Where visitors can taste the most delicious barbecue in Zibo.
D. When is the best time to taste Zibo barbecue.
36. What is Wang Dazhuang's attitude(态度) to the popularity of Zibo barbecue?
A. Worried. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
