• 1．All dogs can benefit from training throughout their lives.But where to begin the process？Thus，we have consulted some experts on where to start.Here's what they say.
     Identify your training goals
     There are two levels of dog training.If you're interested in skill training，or basic manners，such as teaching your dog to sit，stay and lie down，that's the field of a dog trainer.If your dog has a behavior problem-anxiety，aggressiveness，fearfulness-then what you need is a dog behavioral consultant.
     Be realistic
     Your dog may bark at your guests，which might be a kind of dog that has been selected for hundreds of years to defend against people walking in your front door.Since you can't change a Ger-man shepherd's genetic impulse（基因冲动）to defend its territory，you may need to change your expectations，instead.
     Decide how you'd like to train your dog
     When it comes to training methods，you have a few options.Group classes are cheaper but less personalized，while board and training facilities are more expensive and riskier.Your choice will depend on your budget and your training goals.If you don't want to pay a lot of money for dog training，you can choose free or low-cost resources you can find online.
     Understand the methods
     Generally speaking，many trainers fall into two broad categories：The first is positive reinforcement（强化）trainers，which means giving your dog something good to train.The second is balanced trainers who are willing to make incorporate corrections，which means using positive reinforcement methods.

• 2．Many have had the same thought as Shannon St.Onge when looking at the approach of snow on a weather forecast-that they have time to finish their jobs.As the director of finance at the First Nations University of Canada，she had to drive 25 kilometers from her home to the city of Regina to attend an important meeting.
     As she was leaving，the winter snow began to fall.Taking a dirt road for better traction（牵引）on her tires，she quickly became lost，with no ability to see the edge of the road from a rolled-down window.After a while she stopped and called 911.
     "The operator took my information and told me to wait out the storm as my tank was full and I was warm.I waited almost 14 hours and nobody has called me yet to check in，" she wrote in a Face-book post.
     "Would the gas tank last until morning？What if I was hit by another vehicle？What if I didn't make it home at all？" St.Onge wondered.
     Determined to ensure the safest end，she went out in the storm and discovered her location on a road sign，and then found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing through-warning others of her plight through a Google Maps pin.
     That was when 80-year-old Andre Bouvier Sr.，a retired rescuer，got a call about St.Onge's situation.He went out to find her，on foot，since he couldn't manage to start his tractor.
     On the way he found three other stranded（被困）vehicles.He walked the quarter mile there and back，and led the helpless cars one by one to his home.Bouvier let the survivors sleep at his house，where they ate and laughed，and departed the next morning after he had cleaned the driveway.
  
  （1）Why did St.Onge take a dirt road？

  
  A．She was familiar with it.
  B．She could refuel on the road.
  C．She took the dirt road to save time.
  D．She thought dirt road could increase traction.
  （2）What did the operator advise St.Onge to do？

  
  A．Wait out the storm.
  B．Find a warm place.
  C．Ask Bouvier for help.
  D．Write her condition in a Facebook post.
  （3）What does the underlined word "plight" in Paragraph 5 mean？

  
  A．Wrong turn.
  B．Poor sense of direction.
  C．Difficult situation.
  D．Bad weather.
  （4）Which of the following can best describe Bouvier？

  
  A．Patient and gifted.
  B．Brave and selfless.
  C．Proud and determined.
  D．Adventurous and ambitious.

• 3．If having to make a choice between reading an e-book and a printed book，which would most people choose？Some would go for an e-book while some still prefer the hard-printed book.
     Undoubtedly，e-books do have benefits.Firstly，changes to an electronic publication are relatively easy to make.They are quicker to obtain.E-books are more easily updated.The printed books on many subjects can become outdated very quickly.Secondly，e-books can be easily and quickly kept up to date.You usually get far more than just the e-books.Most e-books are sold with bonuses and related information that usually do not come with the purchase of a printed book.Moreover，they take up less space.Instead of a big library，you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer.It also makes it easier to share this information with families and friends.
     For nearly twenty years，additionally，futurists have been predicting the development of printed books.The conventional view has been that digital e-books are on the verge of replacing paper books.However，this has not been the case.A printed book has its advantages too.Firstly，it is an object that can be carried and used alone.It needs no electric outlet（插座），no batteries，nothing.Secondly，e-books will always require some forms of support that the printed book does not need.
     I believe that the online publishing has not taken off because people want real books.What is being published online more and more are pamphlets（小册子）and things that really do not need to be in print.These are stuff that people throw away afterward.More often，people do not want to read a book on the computer.What could be better than a paper book？It lasts a long time.These books are designed to last a long time without disappearing.
     To sum up，there is no denying that the printed book is still very much preferred over its digital cousins.Reading electronic publications is just not the same when it comes to books.People are still very interested in real books and notebooks.
  
  （1）What can we know about an e-book？

  
  A．It will never be out of date.
  B．It always gives you an added bonus.
  C．It can deliver information quickly.
  D．It has taken the place of printed books.
  （2）Which statement would futurists probably agree with？

  
  A．Printed books will disappear.
  B．Printed books can be used alone.
  C．E-books have many restrictions.
  D．E-books have no drawbacks.
  （3）What is one cause of the failed online publishing？

  
  A．The low demand for book industry.
  B．The expectations from people.
  C．The guidance of policy.
  D．The desire for the printed books.
  （4）What does the author think of the future of the printed book？

  
  A．Hopeless.
  B．Unpredictable.
  C．Costly.
  D．Promising.
