An incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle (狗刨式游泳) — the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf. Ricochet’s owner Judy Fridono said, “I was working with her at balance and coordination (協(xié)作). Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids. And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them, keeping them company.”

After becoming an expert, two-year-old Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves. Dressed in a yellow jacket, Ricochet helps to counter-balance the board and acts as a reassuring presence.

Ms. Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have. She herself was severely disabled since her teens. Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits, and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board. “Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I can do, rather than what I can’t,” she said.

One of those who have benefited from Ricochet’s skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland. In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage. Although he had loved surfing before the accident, he was too nervous to go back into the water. His fear turned to excitement, when he was told he could try a tandem (雙人) surf session with Ricochet. Their session was a success and by the end of it, Ian was smiling from ear to ear. As well as helping with treatments, Ricochet also raised ?5,000 to help continue Ian’s recovery.

Over the last 10 months, Ricochet’s excellent performances on the sea have raised more than ?30,000 for a number of charity causes.

1.According to the passage, Ricochet is .

A. a dog B. a doctor

C. a dog owner D. a disabled boy

2.What role does Ricochet play according to the passage?

A. She acts as a pet to please its owner.

B. She accompanies the disabled children at home.

C. She works as a guide dog for the blind

D. She helps the disabled children learn to surf.

3.Which statement can best describe Ricochet?

A. The two-year-old dog is severely disabled.

B. Ricochet helps youngsters build up their confidence.

C. Ricochet helps youngsters in their daily life.

D. Ricochet is a lifesaver on the sea.

When you go to St. Petersburg, the number of at-tractions can seem overwhelming. If you’re short on time, or just want to make sure to hit the highlights, these are the top must-see sights in St. Petersburg.

The Hermitage Museum

The Hermitage Museum is one of the most important sights to see for any visitor to St. Petersburg. There you can see lots of different paintings of old masters inside the Hermitage. Prepare to come face-to-face with classic Western artists.

Kizhi Island

Kizhi Island is an open-air museum of wooden buildings from the Karelia Region of Russia. These impressive structures are made without any nails (釘子) — the wood fits together with joints and grooves (溝槽).

Peterhof

“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That’s an old proverb(諺語) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that.

Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.

Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.

Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s team, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.

Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.

It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential.

1.The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______.

A. All the people in a village should give food to a child.

B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a child’s future.

C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they were born.

D. Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised.

2.The text was written mainly for _______________.

A. parents and members in organizations

B. teachers and students

C. newspaper reporters and developing electricians

D. education experts and government officials

3.Students can get developed in practical working skill through ______.

A. parental involvement B. community activities

C. business training D. school teaching

4.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Parents play an important part in children’s education.

B. Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal.

C. Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.

D. Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學年甘肅天水秦安縣第二中學高三上學期第四次檢測英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

One of the most traditional features of American culture is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual(體力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪華地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

1.From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _______.

A. Hagner busies herself by following a trend

B. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time job

C. Hagner is interested in sports and music

D. Hagner wastes much time helping her children's lessons

2.British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _______.

A. treat their children as sports players

B. give their children little time to develop freely

C. bring up their children in a simple way

D. pay no attention to their children's lessons

3.The writer's opinion about after-school clubs is that ________.

A. activities in the country are too competitive

B. children should attend four clubs at a time

C. clubs should have more subjects for school children

D. some clubs result in competitive pressures

4.The last paragraph tells us that in Britain _______.

A. parents used to take their children to every club

B. parents have all benefited from children’s clubs

C. parents used to be wise on how to raise children

D. parents have come to know the standard of education

Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事變更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.

In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor suggests that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted(限制) to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.

The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.

1.The research paper published is primarily concerned with______.

A. the way of preventing employee turnover

B. methods of improving employee performance

C. factors affecting employee turnover and performance

D. pay structures based on employee performance

2.As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that_______.

A. the data analysis is hardly reliable

B. the research sample is not wide enough

C. the findings are of no practical value

D. the research method is out-of-date

3.Who might be most interested in this piece of information?

A. Job hunters.

B. Employees in blue-chip companies.

C. Mid-level managers.

D. Researchers on employee turnover.
