But some locals are saying that the citys beauty is damaged by dog owners who dont clean up after their pets.And, last week they came up with a solution. There is a citywide activity telling dog owners to pick up after their dogs. That means, dont leave a mess on city streets and in parks.“We want to reach as many dog owners as possible to remind them of the rules,” said Ulli Sima, city official in charge of the environment.“We want to show them the easiest solution to the problem: put it in a bag and then in the next rubbish bin,” said Sima.There are about 158,000 dogs in Vienna. The city requires their owners to bag the pets mess when walking it outdoors. But it is believed that only a small number of the citys dog lovers actually follow the rules.Every day dogs drop between 5 and 10 tons of their waste around the city. Vienna spends 7 million euros( 70 million yuan) every year just to keep the streets mess-free.The city is blamed for not being very strict with the rules. Dog owners say they pay 40 euros each years for their pet. But the city argues the dog license fee has nothing to do with cleaning up dog messes. The fine for leaving a dog mess is highas much as 72 euros. The city, however, seldom punishes those rule breakers.City officials said that the activity was not meant to be an attack on dog owners.“The city does a lot for peaceful co-existence by building areas for dogs or providing bags for dog waste. But dog owners must do their part as well and accept these offers,” said Sima.25 This passage is most likely taken from_.Aa geography book Ban instruction book for petsCa newspaper Dofficial papers26Dog owners in Vienna pay 40 euros each year_.Afor the right to own a dog Bfor not obeying the rules Cfor walking their dogs in the streets Dto have people clean up dog messes27Which of the following statements is NOT right according to the passage?A.The writer believes that both the government and dog owners should do their part.B.City officials dont think dog owners can walk their dogs anywhere outside the special areas for dogs.C.Some dog owners think the government should be responsible for the cleaning up.D.City officials hold the opinion that cleaning up the mess is not included in what dog owners have paid.CThere are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened what it says is the first puter art museum in the United States. You dont have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a puter linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university puter and connect your own puter to it. All of the art is stored in the school puter. It is puter art, produced electronically by artists on their own puters. In only a few minutes, your puter can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new puter museum. He says he started the museum because puter artists had no place to show their works.A puter artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs（软盘）, to others to see on their puters. He can also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the puter artist needs an expensive laser printer（激光打印机）.Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or puter students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak said the FIU museum will make puter art more fun for puter artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home puters in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.28. The main purpose of this passage is to give information about _.A. art exhibitions in Florida International University B. latest development of puter artC. museums throughout the worldD. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A 29.

They eat in the finest restaurants, traveling around the world in fort and pleasure. They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are model leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make lots of money only by showing themselves off in mercials（商业广告）.

This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents take away about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world. A top model can choose her work, demand and receive high fees and have her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics are not far less important pared with good looks and the tight figure. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell herself or himself in the face of fierce petition.Immigration(移居) officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”. Its not surprising that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a small minority but not for the majority.32 .
