体裁：记叙文　话题：关爱动物　时间：7分钟
My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year.Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month.We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits.Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home.It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meeting before the owner leaves.
One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave.We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules.He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue.The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house，alone.I came up to Hercules and said hello happily.I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made.Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside.I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service.After the light and “click” sound went off，Hercules rushed at me.I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help.My husband arrived after ten minutes.The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈)．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital.The nurses quickly moved me to a room.I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，“Am I going to die？” He replied，“Finally.”

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
SCS Global Services （SCS） has evaluated a new methodology for measuring the carbon sequestration（封存） ability of soil under the Verified（验证） Carbon Standard （VCS）, a leading greenhouse gas （GHG） accounting system. The methodology, developed by The Earth Partners, will allow land managers who sequester GHGs in grasslands and farmlands to produce carbon credits for sale in the voluntary market.
Managers of grasslands and farmlands can increase carbon sequestration in soil by practices such as changing grazing（放牧） practices and operating treatments designed to improve the variety and productivity of plant groups. The Earth Partners is presently piloting this methodology with farmers across seven million acres of the Palouse River and Columbia Plateau regions in the Pacific Northwest.
“The VCS program has achieved an important milestone in now combining grassland and rangeland carbon offset（抵消，补偿） projects," said Dr. Robert J. Hrubes, Executive Vice President of SCS."SCS looks forward to approving and verifying agricultural carbon offset projects that use this very powerful new methodology."
The VM0021 Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology is based on decades of soil carbon research and testing conducted by top soil scientists. The methodology was developed by The Earth Partners and verified by Environmental Services, Inc. as well as SCS Global Services. It is the first soil carbon methodology to be approved for use under the VCS.
"This widely tested methodology is the first to specially deal with soils in a market," said Steven I. Apfelbaum, Chairman of Applied Ecological Services, Inc. and Director of Science with The Earth Partners. According to Apfelbaum, soils represent the second largest living sink of carbon on the planet.
1. The new methodology is assessed according to　　　　　.
A. The Earth Partners　　　　 B. the Verified Carbon Standard
C. Environmental Services, Inc.　 D. Applied Ecological Services Inc.
2. Carbon sequestration in soil can be strengthened by　　　　　.
A. selling carbon credits in the voluntary market
B. changing grazing practices and operating treatments
C. reducing the variety and productivity of plant groups
D. decreasing farmlands in the Pacific Northwest
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The VCS program proves to be successful in carbon offset projects.
B. Many soil Carbon Methodologies have already been approved for use.
C. The new methodology has been tested in many fields including soil.
D. Soils seem to be the largest living sink of carbon on the planet.
4. What is the attitude of SCS towards the new methodology?
A. Opposed.　　　　B. Cautious.　　　　C. Doubtful.　　　　D. Approving.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.
We all waste food, you and me millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub – Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.
In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.
Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失败) date.
Besides, Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?
Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.
