Those who are for it think that people should have the right to raise dogs as their pets. First, dogs can not only h    1     their masters watch out houses, but also bring them happiness and pleasure. Second, by k    2     dogs, the only child and the old will not feel l    3    . Third, we can learn to care for the lives.

However, quite a large number of the people think dogs should not be raised as pets in the living areas. For one reason, they make so much noise, especially at night, which have a bad effect on people’s r    4    . Second, they are dirty and they often make the environment dirty. At last, sometimes, some dogs may even bite people. People are often feeling frightened whenever they meet them.

In my opinion, I am strongly against raising dogs in the p    5     places such as living areas and settlements. For the sake of people's safety and living environment, raising dogs as pets should be forbidden.

Most of us have spent time at a museum, looking at and learning about the things there. Every year, museums put a lot of money and work into keeping their objects (物品) in good c    1    . They make sure the temperature and light levels are always just r    2     and that the air isn’t too wet.

However, even if all of them are correct, some things can still be harmful to a valuable object—insects (昆虫). Often they enter the museum inside the object itself. They may a    3     be brought in by accident on visitors’ clothes. Once inside the museum, they can quickly m    4     from one object to another, and they enjoy eating natural material (材料) such as wood, cotton, silk and wool.

Museum experts (专家) say that the older the objects are, the more the insects seem to like them. That’s a problem because these things can’t e    5     be repaired. As a result, museums will try almost anything to s    6     insects from harming their collections. For example, a new object will be kept separately at first. Then, when staff(工作人员) are sure there are no insects inside, it can be put on show. If insects are f    7     in a piece of clothing or art, placing it in a freezer (冷冻柜) is one way of getting rid of (除掉) them.

But now one museum in the US has decided to try something new. They are t    8     a dog to find insects. Dogs have an e    9     sense of smell. Usually the dog sits down to show what it has found. Staff at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston hope that their dog, Riley, will learn to do this when it finds insects. They say that at the moment it’s just an experiment. However, if Riley can help find insects b    10     they do a lot of harm, other museums are sure to be interested.

【推荐2】Drawing might help you think

When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks? If so, your teacher might have told you    1    (stop). Many people think of doodling（涂）as a distraction（精神涣散）from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009, researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group    2     (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.

Other people    3    (suggest) other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively.     4    (walk) away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you    5    (have) a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown    6    (write) a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning doodling. Brown    7    (believe) doodling is helpful because it incorporates（整合）many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the    8    (well) you learn. And when you doodle while you    9    (listen) to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at    10    (draw) is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!
