When your pet meets your infant, it might not be love at first sniff.

Baby's Best Friend

When Jennifer Merritt brought her baby, Arielle, home from the hospital, her cherished dogs had very different reactions. Her boxer, Sonya, was immediately gentle and protective. But Tiger, the Pomeranian, was less welcoming: "If any diapers（尿布） or toys were on the floor, he peed on them!”says the Greenbrier, Arkansas, mom. Tiger isn't the first dog to feel jealous of a baby. In the eyes of a pet’s, there's a new star in town who's stealing his spotlight. Even the most gentle animal will probably act up if he doesn't get his usual attention. These simple steps will help your pet adjust -- and keep your baby safe.

u       Introduce Them with Care

Your newborn and pet's first encounter can set the tone for their relationship. To make it as smooth as possible, try this trick from Caryn Ruiz, of Raleigh, North Carolina: "Before we left the hospital, my husband took blankets home to our dog, Daisy, so she'd know our newborn Devon's smell." When you get home, have your husband carry the baby so you can greet your pet without worrying about her jumping on you. A cat will likely walk away at first, while a dog will probably want to investigate right away.

To introduce your baby, get down on your pet's level and let her have a hello sniff. Don't panic and pull your newborn away unless your pet is barking or hissing, because it'll send the message that the baby is a threat.

u       Learn the Safety Basics

No matter how smoothly the introduction goes, there are certain safety rules you should follow, says Bonnie Beaver, DVM, past president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Number one: Never leave your baby alone with the pet. Even the gentlest animal can react unpredictably. Your baby's crying could frighten your cat, or your dog could suddenly become territorial. Consider setting up baby gates to limit your pet's access. To keep your cat from jumping into the bassinet（有蓬的搖籃）, try putting mosquito netting over the top. Cats hate sticky paws, so keep the crib（有欄桿的搖籃） and changing table off-limits by lining the edges with sticky strips made for furniture （available in most pet stores）. You can also train your dog to sleep in a crate.

I WAS BORN and raised in the shadow of the Capitol, in Washington, D.C., as were my parents and my mother’s parents.

Our row house was on a tree-lined street just blocks from the building that was the heart of the federal legislative branch. When I was a child, in the 1940s, friends and I would pack a lunch or ride a streetcar to the Capitol. If we roller-skated, we hid the skates in the bushes in the park across the street before entering the building.

I knew every corner of the Capitol. We’d play hide-and-seek and pretend we saw ghosts in the halls and stairways. I don’t know how we got away with it.I remember the beautiful ladies’ rooms, with their marble floors and sinks. I pretended that I was a fine lady in them.

In those days, you could walk around the Capitol dome（圓頂屋）, which was a little scary for me. I loved the wonderful paintings and statues and the subway rides to the Senate Office Building. It was like an amusement ride. I even used to sit in the gallery of the U.S. House of Representatives―until I became bored with all the talk and went on another adventure.

Whenever I ran up the steps to the huge bronze doors of the Rotunda, I would look back to the world below like a hero. As soon as the doors were opened, the sense of history surrounded me, and I knew it was someplace special.

Those were lucky days, when an American citizen could wander in the Capitol and be a part of history.

Once war was declared, some things changed in the nation’s capital.

Because of concerns that Washington might be attacked, as London had been, everyone prepared. Kids at my elementary school wore dog tags, and each of us was fingerprinted.

My father, a pipe worker, became a civil defense warden（民防隊(duì)員）. During an air raid, his job was to turn off any leaking gas. Since he always had a cigarette in his mouth, maybe that was not a good choice, but he had a gas mask and flashlight hanging in the rafters of our basement…the mask looked like a monster in the ceiling. My 15-year-old brother was a junior civil defense warden. During air- raid drills, he knocked on doors and asked people to put out their lights. I remember huge searchlights that crisscrossed the skies during the drills, looking for enemy planes.

73. From the passage, we can understand that ________.

A. The writer attended the meeting in House of Representative

B. The writer’s family lived in Washington D.C. for generations

C. American citizen, except children, could never enter the Capitol

D. The writer’s father had a gas mask to prevent him from smoking

COVER STORY―Pax's New Life

By Michelle Tauber and Mary Green

The actress and 3-year-old Pax Thien Jolie, whom she adopted last week from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, left Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport in a private jet on Wednesday, bound for home―and, for Pax, a new life in the U.S.
    Jolie, 31, understands the challenges her new son will face as the latest addition to the world's most famous multicultural family. "You can imagine what courage it takes to be in all new surroundings, with new people and a new language," she tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "He is very strong." But she is committed to making his transition as smooth as possible. "It will take him a while to realize he has a family," she says, "and that his new life is permanent and that it won't keep changing."
    The boy with the sweetly shy smile and the big brown eyes joins big brother Maddox, 5 （adopted from Cambodia）, sister Zahara, 2 （adopted from Ethiopia） and 10-month-old Shiloh, the daughter born to Jolie and Brad Pitt, 43, in May.
    As for Dad, because Vietnamese regulations don't allow unmarried couples to co-adopt, Jolie adopted Pax as a single parent while Pitt remained in Los Angeles, where he is filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. "He has specific days on the movie that couldn't be changed or production would run over," says his rep.
    But Jolie still made sure to bring a welcoming committee: Joined by Maddox and Zahara Shiloh has been on the Button set every day with her father―the new mom used her first few days with Pax to begin gently bonding with him and to ask her other kids to do the same.
   "We are slowly beginning to build his trust and bond," Jolie says, "but it will feel complete only when we are all together."

SHANGHAI, June 7（AP）―A 16-year-old girl's suicide after she was barred from a key exam draw attention to increasing worries over academic pressures, as millions of Chinese students began annual college entrance tests on Wednesday.

The three-day exam, viewed as important to future career and financial success, has a record 9.5 million high school students across China competing for just 2.6 million university places. For kids and parents alike, it's a difficulty that experts say causes extreme emotional distress. "Pressure from study and exams is a top reason for psychological problems among Chinese youth," said Jin Wuguan, director of the Youth Psychological Counseling Center at Shanghai's Ruijin Hospital.

In China's increasingly success oriented, pressure-cooker cities, academic stress is seen as a rising cause of youth suicides and even murders of parents by children who are driven crazy by intolerable pressure to perform.

According to her family and newspaper accounts, 16-year-old Wu Wenwen drowned herself after she was stopped at the exam room door because her hair wasn't tied back as her school required. Returning in tied hair, she was then told the end-of-term exam had already started and she was too late to take it. In tears, Wu called her mother, and then disappeared. Her body was found the same night in a nearby lake.

China doesn't keep comprehensive statistics on student suicides, but Jin said health care professionals see the problem worsening, even among elementary students. Most Chinese schools still lack advisers and teachers receive little training in spotting symptoms of emotional distress, Jin said. Parents are little help, often piling on pressure while ignoring their children's emotional development, he said. "It's a basic unwillingness or inability to recognize and deal with with emotional problems," Jin said.

Wang Yufeng, of Peking University's Institute of Mental, estimates the rate of emotional disorders such as depression among Chinese students under age 17 at up to 32 percent , a total of 30 million students.

Others say that figure may be as high as 50 percent. A survey last year by the government's China Youth and Children Research Center showed 57.6 percent of students felt highly distressed by academic pressures.

65. What is the function of the first paragraph?

A. To explain the meaning of academic pressures.     B. To lead to the main topic.

C. To describe the girl’s suicide.                            D. Tell how important the college entrance tests are.

66. The 16-year-old girl committed suicide because ______.

A. she did not tied back her hair as required      B. she couldn’t get high mark in the exam

C. she had an unpleasant talk with her mother   D. she wasn’t allowed to attend the examination

67. We can learn from the passage that ____.

A. the problem of student suicides is getting worse according to a research on the accurate statistics

B. teachers have enough ability to sense the emotional distress of students

C. parents place neither pressure nor care on their children

D. both teachers and parents should learn more to deal with the problem of student suicides.

68. Where will we most probably find the article?

A. In a newspaper.                      B. In a magazine.

C. In a text book                         D. In a survey.

Chinese mainland's star-making reality TV show "Happy Boy" will not be open to male applicants from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau or other foreign cities, said the country's top TV industry committee yesterday.

Happy Boy is the male version of Super Girl, which is regarded as the Chinese version of American Idol. The girl's event, operated by central China's Hunan TV, drew an audience of 400 million for the final match in 2005. The country's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television approved the male version earlier this month. However, the regulation that only mainland's male applicants are allowed to register was released just days before the application procedure began on Wednesday in Changsha, one of the five mainland cities to hold the contest. The other four includes Chengdu and three undecided cities.

The regulation spoiled Hunan TV's ambition to extend the series to the overseas market, an official with the TV station told the Hunan-based Xiaoxiang Morning yesterday. "My Hero," another star-making reality show by Shanghai's SMG Dragon TV, said it was not informed of the regulation, and it is still receiving foreign applicants, said an official with Dragon TV. A previous regulation by the administration has made clear that televised talent shows can't run for more than six weeks at a time. While the first "Happy Boy" may last for five months, according to a previous report.

Last year there were about 10 influential star-making TV shows across the country, among which those from CCTV, Hunan Satellite TV and SMG's Dragon TV, were the most popular. "Super Girl" ran for almost five months and "My Hero" lasted four months. While the shows have proven popular, they have also earned many complaints from people who say they are crude and not satisfactory.

61. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. Male applicants from Hong Kong won’t be accepted to attend Happy Boy show.

B. American Idol was started earlier than Super Girl.

C. It was Hunan TV that made the regulation that they couldn’t accept foreign applicants.

D. Audience love American Idol better than Happy Boy.

62. Which of the following may best explain the underlined word spoiled in paragraph 3?

A. gave        B. prevented        C. encouraged     D. affected

63. We can safely draw the conclusion that ________.

A. Hunan TV will obey the regulations issued by the administration.

B. Dragon TV broke the regulations on purpose.

C. there were about 10 popular TV shows across the country.

D. not all of the audience think highly of the shows.

64. The relationship between State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and Hunan

TV is possibly close to _______.

A. father and son                             B. teacher and student

C. coach and sportsmen                   D. police and criminal

If you love your husband, leave him alone. And if you think you are attractive, don't say it.

This is what Jane Lin did for her husband Ang Lee, who last week became the first Asian to have  41  the best director Oscar award for his love movie "Brokeback Mountain."

Ang Lee was  42  upon graduation with a master's degree in film production from New York University in 1984. He had to stay at home as a  43  husband until 1990.

Jane did not for once think of leaving him,  44  would many modern girls who are  45 to play with rich directors and abandon them once they're  46  on their luck.

47  despair surrounded her now and then, Jane  48  Ang and believed he was cut out to be a genius  49  - only his time had not yet  50 .  For six years, Ang was supported  51  by Jane, who earned a meager salary as a microbiologist in the United States.

At one time, Ang wanted to  52  computer science so as to find a job quickly, but Jane  53 . She simply would not let her poor but  54  husband go out and find just any old job.

In  55  six years, Ang wrote many screenplays and at the same time became a great cook.

Ang has said time and  56  that he would never have  57  without Jane's love and trust.

But  58  an Associated Press story released on Wednesday, Jane said  59 : "I did not support him, I just left him alone."

The Associated Press quoted Taiwanese producer Huang Yi-kung, who produced Ang's famed Chinese-language movies - "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1994 ―as saying that Ang's thanks to Jane and memories of past  60  were never superficial.
