21、 “When I think of England, I think of the queen taking her dogs for walk in the countryside,” says Carsten Haferkamp, a dog-owning German working in London. Data from Tractive, a firm that provides GPS tracking for pets, show that Britons walk their dogs more than their European neighbors do.
The British love for dog-walking may have more to do with the walking than the dogs. Britons are big walkers –they came fifth in the world in a study in 2017, the highest in Europe. Dogs provide walkers with company and a purpose, so it may be that walking encourages dog-ownership.
But Julien Dugnoille, an expert at Exeter University, suspects dog-walking has a deeper significance. Dogs, he suggests, are a useful aid to a socially awkward nation. “Britons tend to have a chat with strangers and exchange a few jokes and comments about the weather without putting themselves in danger.”
A tradition among the British nobles of owning and training dogs also leads Dr Dugnoille to assume that dog-walking is a way to keep ancient honor. “When people in the park say Max is very well-behaved,” says Dr Dugnoille, “that is a way to show their authority in the art of dog training compared to those dog owners who are not in control of their own dog.”
But it’s not just about showing off, in his view. He believes walking with one’s best friend creates a time and space where dogs and humans meet as species and connect as individuals.
Still, Britons should not congratulate themselves too much on their behavior towards their dog companions. According to Dr Carri Westgarth of Liverpool University, “People say that a dog needs a walk every day, but they will find reasons why their dog doesn’t need a walk. They’ll say: he’s got company indoors, he’s nervous or he doesn’t like the rain.”
【1】The queen is mentioned in paragraph 1 to show _______.
A.the queen’s love for dogs B.a foreigner’s impression of England
C.the British devotion to walking dogs D.the importance of dog-walking for Europeans
【2】What does Dr Dugnoille most probably agree with?
A.Britons see dogs as protectors from danger.
B.Dog-walking is related to the British traditional culture.
C.Britons prefer to walk rather than walk the dog.
D.Dog-walking is a close link between the British and nature.
【3】Dr Westgarth’s comment on the British dog-walking suggests that_______.
A.Britons are proud of dog-walking B.dogs are a good companion for Britons
C.he is doubtful of the British love for dogs D.weather is a popular topic among Britons
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Love Your Dog, Walk Your Dog B.How Do Britons Walk Their Dogs?
C.Opinions on Dog-Walking in Britain D.Why Do Britons Love to Walk Dogs?
22、Study Tips for Final Exams
Over the next few weeks, many college students will be studying for final exams. Here are some tips to all of you on how you can cope with your tasks throughout the week(s).
Create Study Guides One Week before the Final. 【1】 Create these outlines or guides one week before the tests so you can just read the organized material and be able to answer the questions quickly and effectively.
Study in Groups Only if it Benefits You. Certainly there are many cases where studying in groups can be beneficial. However, a study group only works well if you are concentrated and serious. 【2】
50-10 Rule. The basis of this rule is to study 50 minutes of every hour, and keep the last 10 minutes to clear your mind. 【3】 Create an alarm notification and stick to that alarm; it will be beneficial.
Finish Your Practice Problems. Whenever you find yourself having practice problems, don’t give up on them. 【4】 Be sure to work the problem because, more often than not, the ones you don’t understand are the ones that end up in the test.
Do a Practice Quiz. Recall that final exams usually last several hours and it can be difficult to handle the concentration level for such a long period of time. 【5】 Create a “home-made” quiz with all relevant information you need to know and review it two hours after you create it.
I hope this helps you with finals! Good luck to all!
A.Ask your parents or friends to quiz you about the material you are studying.
B.Many times, creating study guides are the most time-consuming part of studying.

G.Finish the problem completely so you can understand them better and leave no place for doubt.
