In order to establish the strongest power, emperors planned the city and arranged the residential areas. center of the city Beijing was the royal palace—the Forbidden City.
At the end of the Qing dynasty, after (close) China came under the influence from abroad, many old hutongs lost (they) former neat arrangement.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, hutongs' conditions (improve). But in recent years, the houses in many hutongs have been pulled and replaced by modern buildings. And the hutong today is fading into the shade for tourists and local people.
However, in the urban district of Beijing houses along hutongs still occupy one (three) of the total area, providing housing for half population, so many hutongs (survive). In this respect, we see Beijing as an ancient yet modern city.

If you want people to take you seriously, put on navy blue or black. Blue would also be helpful for an interview or oral examination because it relaxes you and makes you feel calm. Red gets you noticed by everyone and make you feel energetic, be careful, as it can raise your heart rate and not everyone want this effect. So think carefully before you leave your house.
While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence.
For this study, biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy. Half the dogs were rewarded for touching the screen when shown a happy face, while the other half given their treat for selecting those that appeared angry.
Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That's because the scientists believe humans show their eruptions on their entire face.
After some training on how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that accompany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face, the researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions.
They also found those being trained to read angry expressions took a longer time to learn. They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to back away quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the computer "game" that scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was completed.
The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touched screen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies-dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.
-

-
（4） What is the best title for this passage?A . Mood Changes Influence Dogs B . Dogs Identify the Moods C . Dogs and Their Owners D . Dogs' Mood Research

Supporting Others
We're always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others, Indeed, it's natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so.
When we offer support, it may not always be wanted.In this case, offering support in the manner of"... if l were you, I would ." can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional it can feel burdensome.
When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying, "What would help you today?" can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it's not needed, just knowing you've been thought of can be supportive in itself.
Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was to him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else's capacity.
Sometimes the only support that's needed is to listen without judgement.This reassures (使安心) them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes.
Support often works best when it's a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them.
A. Walk alongside someone and make comments.
B. Come up with a couple of ideas for your friends.
C. Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one.
D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them.
E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer.
F. Sometimes people arc trying to manage life in their own way.
G. Just be there, occasional while someone lets out their feeling.

What do people usually put in their living rooms? Perhaps you will think of something such as a TV, a coffee table or a sofa. But French designers Mathieu Lehanneur and Anthony van den Bossche didn’t think that was enough. They wanted to add something new in people’s living rooms. So they created a do-it-yourself ecosystem(生态系统) named “Local River”. The system lets its owner grow fish and plants inside tanks (缸) in their living rooms.
In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem, the plants on top of the tank feed on the waste of the fish below. It makes the water clean so the fish can go on living. In this way, the fish and plants in the “Local River” can keep the balanced environment, and only need a little help from the owner. The system is also called “fridge-aquarium(冰箱水族馆) ”by some people because owners can use the fish and plants as food. That is to say, owners are able t
o grow fish and plants within the "Local River" before eating them. Almost any plant can grow on top of the tanks and most freshwater fish are able to live in the tanks below.
The “Local River” ecosystem from Paris comes in small and large models. It is a relaxing thing to have in your home.
16．From the passage we know the system lets its owner grow_______.
A. fish and plants B.fish and crops
C. plants and tortoises D. flowers and grass
17．The plants of the system feed on_______.
A. the fish B. the water C. the fish waste D. the fish food
18．Why is the system called “fridge-aquarium” by some people?
A. Because the tank can be put in the fridge.
B. Because owners can grow fish and plants in it.
C. Because owners can eat the fish and plants in it.
D. Because owners can grow and eat the fish and plants in it.
19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All fish are able to live in the tanks below.
B. The designer Mathieu Lehanneur comes from Pairs.
C: The "Local River" can keep the balanced environment by 
itself.
D. In the DIY fish and gardening ecosystem, the plants grow under the tank.
20．What is the best title of the passage?
A. Fish and Plants
B. Fridge-aquarium
C. Balanced Environment
D. “Local River” Ecosystem
