The 99-cent Pet First Aid App gives iPhone and Android smart phone users instant access to expert information so they learn how to maintain their pets health and what to do during emergencies.“Its a pretty slick App,” said Red Cross spokesman Brian Shawn. “For a pet person like me, it has everything you need to know to take care of your pet.”The App shows smart phone users how to identify early warning signs that a pet is sick and needs a veterinarian. It also brings up the location of the closest animal hospital, which can be invaluable for pet owners taking advantage of the pet-friendly travel trend thats hot in the hospitality industry（酒店业）. And it can even walk you through basic first-aid for Fluffy, to help him survive long enough to get him to the vet in an emergency situation.“The Pet Fist Aid App provides step by step instructions, videos and images for more than 25 mon first aid and emergency situations including how to treat wounds, control bleeding, and care for breathing and cardiac（心脏病）emergencies,” said Red Cross Dakotas Region CEO Judy Green.For those pet owners who learn better with a hands-on demonstration, the Dakotas Red Cross offers pet first aid classes about twice a year, which will teach you how to perform CPR on your pet and how to check its vital signs.History shows that people have not evacuated（撤离）during disasters because they did not want to leave their pets behind.

Id enjoyed her role in the television series when I was a boy. But I also appreciated her acting abilities when I saw her play opposite Jimmy Stewart in “Its a Wonderful Life”. How I wish I could have met her.Ironically, a few months after moving to the Island, I met someone who also starred in Frank Capras timeless film. Karolyn Grimes was appearing as Mary Bailey in a radio theatre production of “Its a Wonderful Life”, at Bellevue College. Following the performance I introduced myself as a lifelong fan of the film. I asked Karolyn if she would allow me to interview her some Sunday in church. She agreed.I learned that this child star, now in her seventh decade, had not had such a wonderful life herself. Her faith in a loving God was tested when both her mother and father died within a couple years of each other. Forced to leave her acting world in Hollywood, she was placed in a relatives home in Missouri. Karolyn married, divorced, struggled to survive as a single mom, remarried and watched her husband die of cancer. If that wasnt enough, her eighteen-year-old son mitted suicide.As a result of my growing friendship with Karolyn, a publisher invited me to write a book about “its a Wonderful Life”. The invitation provided me an opportunity to record Karolyns trials and trace the spiritual values in the film. About the same time, Karolyn published a book about how the movie continues to touch lives. On Monday January 6, from 7 8:30 pm, I will be interviewing Karolyn Grimes at Island Books. In addition, both of us will be signing copies of our books. The book will be a best-seller, many people think.25.

We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps its something ingrained（根深蒂固的）in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isnt necessarily that we want things to be different. However, its that we decided we didnt like it in the first place. Weve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “its not bad or good, and it just is it.”In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”. Some readers said its too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong. However, its only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why theyre that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because youll no longer say, “Oh, I wish bad things didnt happen!”Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you cant accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing.Can we make this world a better place? You can say that youll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. Thats the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach: accept and understand. It might lead to some interesting results.32. The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because _.A. it is our natural emotion in the lifeB. culture asks us to be different from othersC. everyone has their own opinions on thingsD. we dislike something in the beginning33. Some readers think the words in the authors book is too _.A. depressingB. frighteningC. delightingD. idealistic34. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “it” refers to _.A. acting well at work and in politicsB. feeling depressed for the news mediaC. accepting and understanding what has happenedD. saying something negative when bad things e35. What is the best title of the passage?A. Expecting things to be different gives us hopeB. Accepting can make our life happier and betterC. Traditional culture bees root of unhappinessD. Judging good or bad is important for our world第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Teaching Your Kids about MoneyThe saying, “Money doesnt grow on trees”, is one we have all heard. 36 Judy Midero from Parent Magazine has a few ideas on how to teach your kids about money.1. 37 Money is fun and when you bine games, it makes the concepts of money stick in a childs mind. For the younger kids start with a “Money Scavenger Hunt”, you may hide some money to make the game more exciting. Once your children have found every last cent, have them sit down on the floor and separate all the pennies, nickels, and quarters.2. Create positive habits early. 38 If a child takes a dollar and spends a dollar, then the habit of living on wages has begun. But if a child learns to divide up their money into giving, investing, saving and spending, then a child is learning the habit of creating wealth. This simple concept will ensure your child has a secure financial future.3. Make allowance and spending lessons easy.Allowance is key to teaching kids the value of money. It works best in teaching financial lessons when money is earned versus just given for no reason. When children earn money / allowance they are able to understand the value of it because they have worked for it. 39 4. 40 Take time to ask your kids “What is your biggest question when it es to money?” As a parent its Ok if you dont know! Be fortable with saying, I dont know all the answers but lets do some research!A. Start playing games with money.B. Answer your kids money questions.C. We parents should give the kids a timely hand.D. What you create daily will determine your success.E. It is important to learn how to do investing in an effective way.F. Meanwhile they are naturally learning how to manage their money.G. But it doesnt teach us anything about how to save or spend money.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoon at my grandfathers farm. 41 by miles of winding stone walls, the house provided 42 hours of fun for a city boy.I can still remember one 43 when I was eight years old. I wanted 44 anything else to be allowed to climb the walls surrounding the property. The walls were old; some stones were 45 , others are also loose. Still, my desire to climb across those walls 46 so strong that finally I took all my 47 and entered the living room, where the 48 had gathered for supper.“I want to climb the stone walls,” I said hesitantly. 49 a voice went up from the women in the room. “ Heavens, no!” they cried. “You will hurt yourself.” I wasnt too 50 ; the response was just as I had expected. But 51 I could have left the room, I was 52 by my grandfathers loud voice: “Now 53 just a minute,” I heard him say, “Let the little boy climb the stone walls. 54 , he has to learn to be responsible for himself.”For the next two hours I climbed those old walls and had the happiest time of my 55 . Later I told my grandfather about my 56 . I will never forget what he said: “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you have made this day a(n) 57 one just by being yourself.
