Most pets can be trained, and it is a fact that most pets need to be trained and cared for in order for both you and the animal to be happy. When it comes to training and taking care of your pet, you should take the most humane（人道的）approach and remember, hitting and shouting are definitely not allowed when it comes to pet care training.
An important tip on training pets to remember is that animals respond well to praise and treats. So if you are training a dog or a cat to use a litter tray or a training mat（席子），always make sure that you make a big fuss of your pet. This will not only please him, but it will let him know that he is receiving this kind of attention by doing something good, which will encourage him to do it again.
Another important tip when it comes to pet training is that you should never punish your pet for doing something wrong. Never hit or shout at your pet because this will only make the animal scared and he will not understand why he has caused such behavior. So instead of scolding or hitting, simply ignore your pet if he does something wrong, and always make sure that you reward anything positive that he does.
45. What does the underlined phrase“make a big fuss of”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. praise B. punish C. play with D. laugh at
46. When pets do something wrong, you should_________.
A. punish them severely at once B. just pretend to take no notice
C. shout at them to make them calm down D. hit them in a gentle way
47. The passage mainly tells us________.
A. to hit and shout at pets
B. to always reward a pet’s behavior
C. never to punish pets whatever they do

C
This time, it is to be worn on wrists(手腕). Having already changed the way we communicate with its smartphones, Apple Inc released its next big thing on March 9 in San Francisco, US.
The Apple Watch, according to CNN, is “a simple rectangular (矩形的) shape with a range of stylish and useful wristbands.” “The style is classic ... in those respects (方面) it’s up there with the top quality Swiss watches,” commented the news outlet.
The watch will be available in nine places, including the US, the UK and China, from April 24. The starting price is $349 (2,186 yuan).
With six different designs and 30 or so wristbands, the gadget “sets the standard for smartwatches, in style,” agreed The Brisbane Times,“ but more importantly, in functionality (功能性).” “With the built-in speaker and microphone, you can receive calls on your watch. I have been wanting to do this since I was 5 years old,” said Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook.
In fact, anything you can do on the iPhone is there on the watch – e-mails, text messages, airline boarding services, and directions from Apple Maps. Using a home security app (应用程序), you can keep an eye on your home from afar, or even open a locked door.
There are some features that have made Cook sure the watch is “our most personal device yet; a new chapter in the way we relate to technology”. According to NPR, the watch taps you on the wrist to draw your attention to a message or a calendar reminder, and it can send a tap on the wrist to another Apple Watch wearer.
Patrick Moorhead, a leading technology analyst in the US, described the tech company as “a master in the art of persuasion”. “The secret weapon is the ability to message each other by tapping on the watch,” he told The Associated Press. “I think people, particularly kids, are going to go nuts (疯狂) over that.”
So far, though, the most impressive part of this new device is “the monitoring of the wearer’s health and fitness,” said AFP. It will even tap you on the wrist if you have been sitting down for longer than is good for your health.
48. According to the passage, the Apple Watch has the following functions EXCEPT ________.
A. being a top quality Swiss watch B. receiving calls and messages
C. monitoring the wearer’s health D. downloading Apple apps
49. Which of the following words best describes Tim Cook’s attitude toward the Apple Watch?
A. Changing. B. Proud. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful.
50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A New Invention of Apple Inc. B. Huge Fans of Apple Products.
C. Time for the Apple Watch. D. Strengths of the Apple Apps.
D
By the time we finished, herring（鲱鱼）covered the bottom of the boat as deep as my calves（腿肚子）. For the first time in days, my father seemed happy as a herring choker（捕鲱鱼的人）. Then he looked at the western sky, and his smile faded. The storms were sweeping out of Canada hard and fast. No one could predict their arrival. All fishermen feared them.
“We’re going back,” my father said. He pulled the cord and started the motor.
We were only two miles out, but the shoreline looked to me as far away as the moon. Over the distant hills, black clouds ran toward us like wild horses. We made it only halfway home before we met the storm.
The wind came first. It lifted the lake in whitecaps. The weight of the herring made us ride low in the water, and the waves broke over our bow. My father struggled to hold us on course. I’d put on my raincoat, but I had no life jacket.
Then the rain fell so hard we couldn’t see the land. The boat was filling with water. I was scared, but I saw my father sitting straight, holding the boat steady into the wind, and I felt hopeful. He didn’t look hurt at all.
I was starting to think we were going to make it. That’s when the motor died. My father pulled the cord hard, but the motor wouldn’t catch. We would go down in no time.
“Grab an oar（浆）,” he cried above the wind. He always carried two oars for just such a moment. We began to pull hard. My father grunted, from pain or e
