21、How to Keep a Dog off the Furniture

Despite your best efforts to train your dog, it might be common for you to return home from work to discover damaged furniture. So it’s essential to train your pets to stay off the furniture. 【1】

Training and Reward

You will need to invite your dog onto the furniture to teach it to stay off the furniture. Encourage your dog to climb onto the furniture. Reward it with a positive command such as “good boy/girl”.【2】 Use a command such as “off”. Don’t raise your voice or force it. When it does as you’ve asked, reward it with a treat. This will reinforce(强化)the good behavior of staying off the furniture. It’ll associate getting down with a positive result, such as a tasty treat. 【3】Keep reinforcing the “off” command with a pocket full of treats on standby.

Its Own Space

Many homeowners are turning to ceramic tiles (瓷砖) or hardwood. You wouldn’t want to lie on cold wood or tiles in the winter months and neither would your dog. Plush(长绒毛) pillows or comfortable pet beds give your dog a warm alternative to snuggling (蜷伏) beside you on the sofa.【4】 If it still seeks the security of your presence nearby, place its bed close to where you’re sitting.

In Your Absence

Despite your best efforts, your dog may decide sleeping on the sofa is OK as long as you’re not around to punish it. Consider turning over the dining room chairs and placing them on the sofa or your armchairs.【5】 For those disappointed by your efforts to protect your furniture, consider a doggy gate to keep the living room off limits in your absence.

A．Ask it to get down.

B．But how to train it?

C．Ask it to stand up on the furniture.

D．Let it be if your dog fails to learn to stand by.

E．This will make the furniture far less appealing.

F．Don’t give up if your dog is a slow learner, as a lot of dogs are.

G．Place a treat on your pet’s bed to reinforce how great it is for it to be there.

22、How to be Creative

Most of us think that creativity is quality belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. 【1】. The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity.

Get out of your comfort zone

We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns (模式) and welcome creativity into your life. As stated earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. 【2】. In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zone and open up new possibilities.

Try different things

We are used to habits and routines, and creativity hates routines. If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. 【3】. Interrupt your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is.

【4】

Having a great idea is not enough; you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. 【5】. The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.

A．Take action

B．Seek several choices

C．Think from the other person’s point of view

D．If you usually eat in the office, have lunch under a tree

E．So we can create patterns for almost everything we do

F．The truth is that we are all born with the ability to be creative

G．We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Eva spent the first week of high school trying to keep her head above water. One of the major headaches for her was finding her way in the huge school building. It was a six-story building. On each floor, hallways stretched in four directions, leading to classrooms, laboratories, and teachers’ offices. Somewhere in the building, there was also a library, a cafeteria, and a gym.

Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building. All the different hallways and rooms were too much to think about, let alone commit to memory. She decided that she would memorize where her classes were and then pretend that the rest of the place didn’t exist.

In her first PE class, Eva was shocked when Coach Pitt announced that everyone had to run one mile around the track outside. She searched the faces of her classmates for signs of panic. There was nothing she feared more than having to run a whole mile. To Eva, “a mile” was used to describe long distances. It was ten miles from her home to her grandfather’s, and that always seemed like a long way, even in a car!

When Coach Pitt blew his whistle (哨子), Eva figured she would be left in the dust. However, while some of her classmates edged ahead, others actually fell behind. ” It’s just the beginning, “she thought.” I’ll come in last for sure. “

Soon Eva began to breathe hard, with her heart pounding and legs shaking. Feeling desperate, Eva started using a mind trick on herself. She stopped thinking about the word” mile. “Instead, she focused on reaching the shadow cast on the track by an oak tree up ahead. Then she concentrated on jogging to the spot where the track curved (拐弯). After that, she tried to see if she could complete her first lap. One lap turned into two, then three, then four.

注意:

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

2, 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1:

When Coach Pitt said “Nice work!” to her at the finish line, Eva was surprised.

Eva decided to use the same trick to deal with the school building.
