• 12．When I was a baby，I entertained you and made you laugh.Whenever I was "bad"，you'd shake your finger at me and ask， "How could you？"-but then you'd give up，and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
     My housetraining was a long process，because you were terribly busy，but we worked on that together.We went for long walks，runs in the park and car rides.We stopped for ice cream.I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
     Gradually，you began spending more time at work and on your career，and more time searching for a human mate.Eventually，you fell in love.She，now your wife，is not a dog person，but I still welcomed her into our home.I was happy because you were happy.Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement，I was fascinated by their pinkness，how they smelled，and I wanted to mother them too.Your wife was afraid I would bite them.But nevertheless，as they began to grow，I became their friend.
     Now，you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets.You've made the right decision for your "family"，but there was a time when I was your only family.
     I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound.It smelled of dogs and cats，of fear，of hopelessness.You filled out the paperwork and said， "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look.The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye.And "How could you？" were the only three words that swept over my mind.
     Is it better to live with hope or without hope？At first，whenever anyone passed my pen，I rushed to the front，hoping it was you，that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
     My beloved master，I will think of you and wait for you forever.I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.

      "Yellowstone's 150th anniversary will be an important moment in time for the world，" said Yellowstone Superintendent Cam Sholly. "It's an opportunity for us to reflect on the lessons of the old days while focusing our efforts to strengthen Yellowstone and our many partnerships for the future."

• 14．    Medicine is not only a human invention.Many other animals have been known to self-medicate with plants and minerals for infections and other conditions.
      Behavioural ecologist Helen Morrogh-Bernard has spent decades studying orangutans（猩猩） and says she has now found evidence that they use plants in a medicinal way.
      Morrogh and her colleagues watched 10 orangutans occasionally chew a particular plant which is not part of their normal diet into a foamy lather（泡沫） and then rub it into their fur.The orangutans spent up to 45 minutes at a time massaging the mixture onto their upper arms or legs.The researchers believe this behaviour is the first known example using a painkiller.
      Local people use the same plant，Dracaena cantleyi，to treat aches and pains.Morrogh's co-authors studied its chemistry.They added extracts（汁） from the plant to human cells that had been grown in a dish and had been artificially stimulated to produce cytokines（細胞因子） that cause inflammation（炎癥） and discomfort.The plant extract reduced the production of several types of cytokines.jye.ai scientists reported the finding in a study published last November in Scientific Reports.
      The results suggest that orangutans use the plant to reduce inflammation and treat pain.Such findings could help identify plants and chemicals that might be useful for human medications.
      In creatures such as insects，the ability to self-medicate is almost certainly innate；woolly bears （燈蛾毛蟲） infected with flies seek out and eat plant substances poisonous to the flies.But more complex animals may learn such tricks after an initial discovery by one member of their group.
      For example，an orangutan may have rubbed the plant on its skin to try to treat parasites（寄生蟲） and realised that it also had a pleasant pain-killing effect.That behaviour may then have been passed on to other orangutans.Because this type of self-medication is seen only in south-central Borneo，Morrogh says，it was probably learned locally.
  
  （1）Why do orangutans chew Dracaena cantlevi？

  
  

  A．To have their normal diet.

  B．To self-medicate.

  C．To scare other animals away. .

  D．To pass on a message to other orangutans.

  （2）How can the findings benefit human beings？

  
  A．They can help vets treat pets.
  B．They can help scientists study orangutans.
  C．They can help botanists learn more about plants.
  D．They can help people find new resources for human medication.
  （3）Which of the following best explains the underlined word "innate" in Paragraph 6？

  
  A．Obtainable.
  B．Sociable.
  C．Natural.
  D．Professional.
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．Orangutans use plant extracts to treat pain.
  B．Humans and animals have a lot in common.
  C．A plant has been found useful for human medication.
  D．Morrogh-Bernard and her colleagues have been observing orangutans.

• 15．How to Work Out Your Worries by Writing
  Something troubling you？You should write about it!Research indicates that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health.
     （1）

  .It is a specific technique，and it's different from writing in a journal.The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge.
     Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive wrjye.aiing.It can strengthen the immune system，including for people with illnesses such as flu，cancer and depression. （2）

  
     Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience，experts say. （3）

  Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts.And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
     But expressive writing isn't a magical cure-all solution. （4）

  .And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own，without therapy （治療）.
     （5）

  ？Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting，where you become lost in your emotions.Writing forces you to slow down.The mere act of labeling a feeling—of putting words to an emotion—can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain.Writing can increase someone's acceptance of his experience，and acceptance is calming.
  
  

  A．Why write B．What if you don't write C．It can also help improve mood，sleep and memory D．Expressive writing gave people the courage to face fears E．It shouldn't be used as a replacement for other treatments F．The first important step is to recognise what it is that is bothering you G．Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as "expressive writing"
