26、 For most dog owner, the expression “Work like a dog” doesn’t make much sense. The lovely pets usually live a life of leisure. They go from the simple days of childhood directly to the relaxation of retirement, skipping the working part of life completely.
But some dogs happily perform very difficult jobs for much of their life. They put in a full day’s work just like the rest of us. Guide dogs, one of the most familiar kinds of working dog, provide an important service to humans. During the Beijing Paralympics, guide dogs received much attention as they helped their masters--those blind athletes--get from place to place safely.
Dogs were first used to guide blind people in 1819. In 1916, Dr. Gerhard Stalling set up a school to train dogs to help German soldiers who had been blinded in World War I. As time passed, trainers began to recognize which kinds of dogs are best for guide work. Today, Golden Retrievers, Labradors and German Shepherds are favorites because they are smart and work hard.
Guide dogs help blind people get around in the world. To do this, they must know how to:
1. Keep on a direct route.
2. Keep a slow, even pace.
3. Stop at all curbs(路边) until told to start moving again.
4. Turn left and right and move forward and stop when told.
5. Recognize and avoid obstacles that the handler won’t be able to deal with.
6. Lie quietly when the handler is sitting down.
7. Help the handler to get on and move around buses, subways and other forms of public transportation.
As a guide dog, gets more experience with its handler, it may be able to take on even more responsibilities. For example, many guide dogs that have worked for years know all of places their master usually goes. All the handler has to tell them is “go to the office” or “find the coffee shop”, and the guide dog will follow the complete route!
【1】In Para. 2, the writer mentioned the guide dogs in Beijing Paralympics in order to _______.
A.arouse readers’ interest in reading the rest part
B.emphasize the importance of their hard work
C.compare the job of guide dogs with that of humans
D.tell the difference of the guide dogs and lovely pets
【2】In order to serve the master, guide dogs must know all of the following EXCEPT ________.
A.avoid leading the handlers to some obstacles impossible to handle
B.keep a proper pace that is easy for the handlers to follow
C.assist the handlers when taking a bus, subway or train, etc.
D.look for some quiet places for the handlers to have rests
【3】The more experience a guide dog gets with its handler, the more ________ the dog will be.
A.responsible B.careful
C.obedient D.approachable
27、There have been big changes in the attitudes of most parents over the last few years. Physical punishment is banned(被禁止) in schools in most countries, and in many countries, there are moves to ban all physical punishment of children even at home. However, many parents still believe that they have the right to use some physical punishments to deal with certain misbehavior at certain ages.
It’s easy to find reasons to allow some physical punishments. One issue is that many parents find it very difficult to give up physical punishment completely. Parents argue that this was the way they were brought up and that it didn’t do any harm to them. They believe that for the child’s sake they have the right to discipline (惩罚) the child in any way they consider fit, including using some physical punishments. The other one is that physical punishment can be quick and effective. There is not much point reasoning with a screaming child in the supermarket.
However, there are several reasons why we should stop using physical punishment. One point is that most parents are not trained to deal with misbehaving children. They don’t have enough resources or choices to handle the situation. As a result, they immediately react by hitting the child even if there are other solutions to the problem. Another point is that unless people are challenged or forced to change their belief, they may keep following negative habits. An example is seat belt use — now most people wear seat belts without thinking, while years ago the idea of using seat belts was strange to most people. In the same way, banning physical punishment will force people to change their habits.
In conclusion, parents have to change some of their belief and ideas about how children should be raised. It is possible to avoid the use of physical force, and doing so will help us move closer to the dream of removing violence from our society.

A．they are disappointed with their children
B．they don’t want to hurt their children badly
C．they were brought up just in the same way
D．they don’t know what to do with their children
【3】The author gives the example of using seat belts in order to show ________.
A．most people are used to wearing seat belts
B．people won’t change their old habits unless forced
C．seat belts are really very necessary and useful
D．it’s not difficult to change some negative habits
【4】The main purpose of the author in writing this passage is to ________.
A．talk about a ban on using physical punishment

C．advise parents to give up using physical punishment

28、A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽视) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人费解) and no one knew why.
