23、lives in the process.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups,or from the traditional Herding Group.These types include the Bloodhound,Labrador Retriever,Newfoundland,German Shepherd,Golden Retriever,and Belgian Malinois-all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue duty be

24、cause of their amazing physical strength,loyalty,and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell-to better locate lost individualsand are often able to access hard-to-reach areas.As highly trained animals,they serve in many different fields,including s

26、able,and have a high level of stamina(耐力)and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during down time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many,many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty.Training is not for the

31、cording to a new 文档 study that investigates whether there s any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis,of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health.A total of 753 were apple eaters,consuming a

32、t least 149g of raw apple per day.The remaining 7,646 were classed as non-apple eaters.When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to the drug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27%less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not signifi

33、cantly affected by apple consumption,though.Evidence does not support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.However,the small number of US adults who eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications,the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke a

34、nd be more likely to have a higher educational attainment than non-apple eaters.While apples do not compete with oranges,they docontain some immune(免疫的)system-increasing vitamin C,which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less.With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit,an apple can pro

38、tive Dpersuasive Passage Four Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied,strict teacher evaluations,and threats of school closures and job losses.They frighten the school employees,文档 not to mention the students.Ins

39、tead of making people unable to solve problems or try new ideas-which is what fear does to us-research on school reform strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane approach.In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools,Bryk and S

40、chneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships.Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak ones mind,to discuss with openness and ho

46、chools.B.Positive social relationships.C.Strict teacher and student evaluations.D.Assistance of the government.50.What is meant by trust in school?A.Freedom to express one s views,B.Extra effort teachers put into their work.C.Independence of the teachers in schools.D.Unconscious and unspoken expecta

47、tions.51.What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a persons behavior?A.They should be trusted.文档 B.They are often bold.C.They are often incorrect.D.They should be encouraged.Passage Five An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secret

48、s of the communities with the highest,hest concentrations of centenarians in the world.The people in the five regions in Europe,Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100 have a lot going for them.Genes probably play a small role,but these folks also have strong social ties,tightly-knit famil

49、ies and lots of opportunities to exercise.As we were examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones,as described in author Dan Buettner s latest book,The Blue Zones Solution,we were struck by how essential tea drinking is in these regions.In fact,Buettner s Blue Zones Beverage Rule-a kind of guidel
