26、It was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work．
One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag．This one was worn and held together with staples （订书钉） .
“Why two bags?” her father asked．“The other is something else,” Molly answered．“What’s in it?” “Just some stuff．Take it with you．”Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both bags into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off．At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons（丝带）, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies… The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly’s stuff included．
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper．“Where’s my bag?” “What bag?” “The one I gave you this morning．” “I left it at the office．Why?” “I forgot to put this note in it,” she said．“And, besides, Daddy, the things in the sack are the things I really like — I thought you might like to play with them．You didn’t lose the bag, did you, Daddy?” “Oh, no,” he said, lying．“I just forgot to bring it home．I’ll bring it tomorrow．” While Molly hugged her father’s neck, he unfolded the note that read: “I love you, Daddy．” Molly had given him her treasures — all that a 7-year-old held dear．
Love in a paper bag, and he missed it — not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket．So back he went to the office．Just ahead of the night janitor（看门人）, he picked up the wastebasket．He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully．The bag didn’t look so good, but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted．
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack．It took a long time to tell．Everything had a story or a memory．
“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life,” he thought．
We should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey．That journey with the people we love is all that really matters．It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten．

27、When a dog barks and nothing is there, why is it barking? Only the dogs know for sure!
Recent research shows that the domesticating of dogs began between 20,000—40,000 years ago. At that period of time, dogs have learned how to understand large vocabularies, complex sentences, and up to 1,000 words if trained properly. Like us, dogs use verbal and nonverbal cues to communicate. For dogs, barking is a completely normal behavior—it’s one of the most effective ways dogs know how to communicate with their owners.
Dogs rarely bark for no reason. Experts in animal behavior say that a dog’s bark is often trying to tell you or another creature something. Just what they’re trying to communicate can be quite a puzzle, but some common messages are: “Come on, let’s play!” “Is that the kid’s school bus I hear?” or even “The mail carrier is here!”—and then when the carrier leaves, “I have protected our home once again. You’re welcome.” They use barking to communicate a variety of feelings, so in order to fully understand what a dog is communicating, pet parents need to contextualize a dog’s verbal cues within their nonverbal cues.
There are many more reasons why dogs bark aside from these common barking situations that you’ll likely encounter. The key to understanding your dog’s barking is to look at their body language and then for the reasons causing the bark. If your dog’s barking is a problem, a vet or dog trainer may be able to help you teach your dog the “rules” that your family wants it to follow. Otherwise, just as you may not understand your dog’s barking, your dog may not understand your barking—in people talk.
【1】What is the passage mainly about?
A．A research on dogs’ barking.
B．The reasons for dogs’ barking.
C．The ways to understand dogs’ barking.
D．The problems of dogs’ barking.
【2】How can a pet owner fully understand why his/her dogs bark?
A．By carrying out research.
B．By considering the environment.
C．By analyzing their body language.
D．By communicating with other owners.
【3】What should dog owners do if dogs’ barking bothers them?
A．Teach dogs rules personally.
B．Look for the reasons.
C．Abandon dogs immediately.
D．Turn to professionals for help.
28、When I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (车道) to pay off my debt. I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便携式的) record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “We have one more gift for you.” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.
“It’s not fair,” I complained. “I worked so hard for my bike and it’s not even new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didn’t have to do anything for it. ” My dad smiled. “She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’ s not really for her,” he said. What did that mean? I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for me. He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐渐疏远) in the face of my ability to travel. He gave me my best friend.
【1】What do we know about the author’s bike?

A. His sister got a new record player.
B. His father didn’t care about him.
C. The record player wasn’t new.
D. His sister got a better gift.

31、
Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines. That is, generally, younger people tend to 【1】 older people on the front end of a technological shift.
It is not always the case, though. When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars, there doesn't seem to be a clear 【2】 divide. The public overall is split on whether they'd like to use a driverless car. In a study last year, of all people surveyed, 48 percent said they wanted to ride in one, while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so 【3】 across generations suggests how transformative the shift to driverless cars could be. Not everyone wants a driverless car now-and no one can get one vet-but among those who are open to them, every age group is 【4】 engaged.
Actually, this isn't surprising. Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies, driverless cars 【5】 real value to these age groups, especially to those with 【6】 mobility or difficulty driving on their own.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related 【7】 than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars, differences in attitude are more 【8】 based on factors not related to age. College graduates, for example, are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education：59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives 【9】 too. More people who lived in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there's reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board, a person's age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become 【10】. Once driverless cars are actually available for sale, the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
