In our modern society, we have to rely on different kinds of services. 1________.Without packaging, many goods, especially food, could not reach consumers.

Duane Innes, an engineer, caused a car accident to save the life of driver Bill Pace. 1 But in Bill Pace’s case, Innes’ de
cision to put his own car in Pace’s path saved Pace’s life.
While Innes was driving his truck, he noticed Pace’s truck changing direction suddenly. 2 When he looked back at the driver, he saw that Pace lost consciousness(知觉) behind the wheel. The cars are approaching a busy crossroads, and Innes knew that Pace could be just a second from a dangerous collision(碰撞) with another car. He had to think fast.
3 “If I could let him hit me, we could slow down together,” he thought. So Innes pulled up in front of Pace’s truck, and allowed it to hit his own car, bringing both trucks to a safe stop. Pace, a 70-year-old volunteer, had a heart attack a few days earlier and it caused him to lose his consciousness. 4
After spending a week in the hospital for his heart disease, Pace is now doing well. “ 5 He saved my life,” said Pace. Innes said, “If someone else heard this story and said, ‘Hey, it pays to do something good,’ then it’s all worth it.”
| A．What a brave man Innes was! |
| B．Fortunately, Innes knew how to deal with it. |
| C．Duane Innes had to move his truck quickly to avoid getting hit. |
| D．Normally, if someone hits your car, you wouldn’t call him a hero. |
E. Old people with serious heart diseases had better not drive cars.
F. If Innes hadn’t blocked his truck, he would likely have died in a collision.
G. Duane Innes was injured badly and sent to hospital as soon as possible.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.

A: Taking care of yourself is not being selfish. By caring enough to treat your body well, you will be in better shape to take care of those around you. No one can take care of your health except yourself;
B: Believe in yourself and your ability. Have a “can-do”attitude. Make a list of successful changes that you have made in the past. It is easier to achieve a goal when you are optimistic. Use humor and laugh off occasional lapses (过失). Have confidence that you can get back on track with your healthy routine.
C: Seek out a friend or co-worker who will make you feel comfortable. You will find out making friends is a happy thing in the world. Regular phone calls, emails or visits over coffee could help you keep a good contact with them. Perhaps your cheerleader could become your exercise buddy.
D: Reward yourself as you make simple changes that in the end will result in achieving your overall goal. Celebration is part of successful change. Create a list of incentives that will keep you motivated.
E: Adopt eating and physical activity habits that can become part of your lifestyle. Have a backup plan for those days when your plans to eat well and be active are challenged. If you can’t walk due to the weather, have an exercise video to use. If you have no time to pack a healthy lunch, choose a small fast food sandwich and side salad.
F: Go on a trip. Work and family are two most important things in people’s lives. People try to tackle the two things at once, but most of them fail. Just as an old saying goes: People who know how to rest know how to work. Go out with your family and have a good time.

Why Cats Scratch Tings
In has long been assumed that when cats scratch objects with their front paws（爪子）that they are sharpening their claws. 1 Research on cat behavior suggests that the major reason for this behavior is communication. By scratching up the bark of a tree (or the leg of your favorite chair) the cat is letting other cats or people know where she is and what she is up to.
Cats tend to pick a small number of noticeable objects in their environments to scratch such as trees, fence posts repeatedly. 2 The scratched surface leaves a highly visible mark that can be easily seen by other cats. In addition, cats have special glands （腺）in their paws so that when they make scratching movements they leave scent（气味）that the cats can smell. The fact that cats leave scent marks by making scratching movements may be the reason that cats will continue to scratch objects even after they have been declawed. 3
We don’t know exactly what cats are communicating with their scratching. Both males and females do it. It is done inside and outside the home and even by cats living with no other cats around. 4 Cats don’t scratch up your furniture to bother you or just to be destructive, but for specific reasons, one of which is communicating. Cats also scratch to extend their bodies, during play, and possibly as a greeting or to relieve dissatisfaction when prevented from doing other things they want to do.
5 It is easier to prevent problem scratching rather than trying to change your cat’s preference for the arm of your sofa after it has become a built up habit. Thus, the goal is to establish acceptable scratching habits by getting your cat to prefer a scratching post rather than the arm of your sofa.
| A．It turns out that this is only a secondary reason. |
| B．This is why the tree next door looks so scratched up. |
| C．Cats use other parts of their bodies to communicate as well. |
| D．Small pieces of bark have accumulated on the ground underneath. |
E．Scratching can result in considerable damage, owner dissatisfaction.
F．Declawed cats may still be leaving scent marks on objects they scratch.
G．It could be a defensive warning or just a marker that announces its existence.

It’s not that hard to be a better writer. Seriously, it’s especially true if you’re starting as a non-writer who’s just trying to be competent for day-to-day tasks.
1．Have a Structure． 1 Your body should consist of paragraphs t
hat are grouped according, to topic, each one dealing with a single element of your subject．
2． 2 When you say a car runs "fast" , don't leave it at that．Show me how fast it is by ; detailing the vehicle' s top speed and acceleration, along with listing other cars it leaves in the dust．Do the same with every other significant modifier（修饰语） you use．
3．Don't pad words． 3 Most of the time, this ends up turning what' s essentially nice; writing into unreadabl
e nonsense．You' 11 see this with heavy use of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs, along with useless phrases that can easily be cut off without losing meaning．
4．Choose good words．Sometimes, the way your text reads comes down to word choice．Don't say " converse" when you can say " speak" ; don' t write " adjudicate" when you say "decide"． 4
5．Use a writing software．Notice that we didn't give any advice on grammar．That's because using a quality proofreading software can help you on that end． 5
| A．Try not to use adjectives and adverbs without providing an explanation． |
| B．Don't let anything keep you from it! |
| C．Many inexperienced writers tend to pad words to meet word count goals． |
| D．Regardless of what you do, your writing should have an introduction and a conclusion． |
E．Basically, put your words to good use and find words that will make the experience easier for your readers．
F．Some ideas can be quite correct．
G．Sure, a few mistakes might slip in now and then, but a good tool will take care of most of them．
