A dog named Peggy was unable to continue the job she was good     1    -herding (放牧) sheep一when at age 8 she lost    2    (she) hearing.

Peggy’s owners gave her to a local animal shelter (庇护所) when they found it hard    3    (communicate) with her. The manager of the shelter ChloeShorten    4    (offer) to help. Shorten and her husband, Jason,    5     had two other working sheepdogs, decided to take Peggy home.

But the most important lesson Peggy learned had nothing to do with sheep. It was about trust. “It took her some time to learn that we love her, and understand our praise,” Shorten said.

These days, with her GPS tracker in place, Peggy heads out with sheep fom time to time, happily knowing that the     9    (mean) of a “thumbs (拇指)up” is that she’s a good girl. The Shortens couldn’t be     10    (pleased) with Peggy.

5 . China is a large country and has a population of about 1. 3 billion. But most people live in the east and the living standard is much higher than in the west. Recently, the Chinese government has decided to promote development in central and western China. The part includes 11 provinces and autonomous regions (自治区) with a population of 285 million and an area of 5. 4 million square-kilometers.

The rich nature resources in western China is one of the advantages for development. According to the plan, the government will focus on improving transportation. Highways and railways will be built. To protect nature, farmers will turn farmland back into forest. Since the western part is developing fast, all kinds of talents are badly needed. In June, 2003, several thousand college students chose to start their career in the west. They worked as volunteers. Some people even give up the chance of working in big companies in China' coastal cities. For example, Wang Fei was a student from Qinghua University. Before June, he had received a job offer in Shanghai. However, he turned down the offer. Instead, he became one of the "Go West" volunteers.

Since 2003, tens of thousands of college students have gone to the west. They are trying their best to make the west become more and more beautiful. We are sure that the development will be a great success. China will be richer and stronger.

The lake is best known for fishing.

8 . It’s a small step for Steve, but could this be a great progress in paralysis(瘫痪)？

Steve’s arms and legs were paralyzed after a fall four years ago. But when he’s wearing this robotic suit, he can use his thoughts to move again.

Learning to walk came quite quickly, but using the exoskeleton(外骨骼) to correctly bend and stretch his arms or turn his wrists took much longer.

So how does the exoskeleton work? Well, first Steve has electric device on the surface of his brain. They are reading his thoughts, his brain activity, his brainwaves, and they are being sent to a computer. Now, the computer has to receive that information at once and change that brain activity into orders, which are sent to the exoskeleton. From thought to movement, it takes less than a third of a second.

Steve first used this electric device in his brain to control a computer game before trying the exoskeleton. Now the French researchers plan to test the technology on three more patients.

This experimental exoskeleton is not going to become widely used soon. If you look, Steve’s body is connected to the ceiling of the room to stop him falling over. It means the exoskeleton can’t be used outside the lab. And it is also too expensive for most of the world to benefit. But this is still a breakthrough and shows the potential of technology to change lives.

1. What’s the usage of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 ?

A．To question the usefulness of the exoskeleton.

B．To lead in the topic and make readers interested.

C．To compare with the former part of this paragraph.

D．To offer the result of the experiment in advance.

2. According to the text, how does the exoskeleton work?

A．Brain→Computer→Orders→Exoskeleton

B．Exoskeleton→Orders→Computer→Brain

C．Orders→Computer→Exoskeleton→Brain

D．Computer→Orders→Brain→Exoskeleton

3. What do we know about the experimental exoskeleton?

A．It’s readily available.	B．It can be used everywhere.
C．It’s very steady to walk in it.	D．It’s far from perfect

4. What’s the best title of the text?

A．Steve walks a small step after paralysis.

B．Mind-reading machine helps man walk again.

C．Paralysis recovered with the help of a robotic suit.

D．An experiment testing a machine.
