Unit 3 puters一、阅读理解Mahendra, a former senior officer at the State Bank of India, talks about his disabled and wounded dogs like a father about his childrenwith the same love, affection, and warmth. Hes a wellknown animal rights activist, the secretary at People for Animals (PFA). But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals. It was this love that led him to establish Indias first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities. It all started in 1998 when, while taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were seen under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead. Since then, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. After some time, somebody told Mahendra about PFA, Indias largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and, impressed by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedabad. Thus, in 2014, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mahendra to find land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has twentyfive dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, theyre slowly healing. Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra. The shelter runs on the money ing from Mahendras own pocket. There have been some financial crunches now and then but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenges e their way, theyll fight through.1.From Paragraph 1, what can we know about Mahendra?A.His affection for animals.B.His love for senior people.C.His care for disabled people.D.His devotion to protecting his children.2.Mahendra decided to do something for animals because of _.A.the death of a homeless sick dogB.his meeting with a sick dog one nightC.the encouragement of Mrs GandhiD.his contact with the organization PFA3.In his effort to build the shelter, Mahendra _.A.spent much money hiring a landB.received little support from othersC.got a free land from a farmerD.was financially supported by the government4.What does the underlined word “crunches” in the last paragraph mean?A.Aids.B.Markets.C.Services.D.Difficulties.参考答案: 1.A; 2.A; 3.C; 4.D解析: 1.细节题。根据第1段“But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals.

Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 1 Trust is a risk. But you cant be successful when theres a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.Unfortunately, weve all been victims of betrayal. Whether weve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. 2 Its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. 3 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best oute would be for your well-being. 4 If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But theres a difference between being a victim and living with a victim mentality. At some point in all of our lives, well have our trust tested or violated.You didnt lose everything.Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 5 Instead, its a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A. Learn to really trust yourself.B. It is putting confidence in someone.C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.E. Theyve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again.F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G. Seeing the positive side of things doesnt mean youre ignoring what happened.【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了人们一旦失去了信任,如何再次建立信任。1.B 【解析】根据上句信任是我们从过去的经历中获取的一种行为和下句信任是一种冒险可知,此空填B,本句是对第一句话的进一步解释:信任是信赖某人。2.E 【解析】上句有时,人们简直无法再信任(别人)了;下句这是可以理解的,由此可推测本句应是解释人们无法信任某人的原因。故填E。3.A 【解析】由下句对自己有信心能帮助你做出更好的选择可知,前一句应是学会真正信任自己,故填A。4.C 【解析】由本段最后一句在我们生活中的某些时候,我们的信任会被检验或打破可知,此处应填C,意为不要认为自己是个受害者。5.G 【解析】副词Instead表示转折。可推测这里应是看到事物积极的一面并不意味着你无视已经发生的事。故填G。
