An old couple walked slowly into McDonald’s one cold winter evening. Some of the customers

looked at them and thought, “ Look, thee is a couple who have been through a lot together,

probably for 60 years or more!”

The little old man walked right up to the cash register, placed his order with no hesitation and

then paid for their meal. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. After

sitting at a table near the back wall, the little old man carefully cut the hamburger in half. He

placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided them

into two piles and placed one pile in front of his wife.

As the man began to eat his few bites of the hamburger, one young man came over to the old

couple’s table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man

replied that they were used to sharing everything.

her husband eat and sometimes taking turns drinking a little bit.

time the little old lady explained that they were used to sharing everything together.

As the little old man finished eating, the young man could stand it no longer. Again he came

over to their table and offered to buy some food.

Passage 3

I began to swim when I was very young. Now I swim without even thinking, but there has to

be one day that you are brave enough to swim without being helped by others. Mine came when I

was four.

I still remember that day we got to the swimming pool and mother helped me into my little

duck armbands. Then she went and let me stay in the water by myself. Everyone else had only one

armband on and I was the odd one out, so I stood there looking sheepish.

“Perhaps I could swim a little way with just one,” I thought, and so took one off as I looked

around at all the kids swimming in the other groups. They were really confident; I wanted to be

like them.

However, once I took off one armband, I felt really uncomfortable. You know, when you

have something holding up one shoulder, it feels odd on the other side. I wasn’t going to put up

with this, so I took the other armband off.

Well, Mum was shocked to see what I was doing. The child she had brought swimming was

going to swim without any armband at all!

I was getting into the water thinking, “It can’t be that far; the others do it really quickly.” All

of the other children were standing on the side watching. I plucked up my courage and swam. It

was wonderful. It was like being free. I reached the other side in no time and my t4eacher was

smiling his really big smile. I looked at the other little ones and they looked really impressed and I

felt great.

By the time Mum had already come over to see me. She was smiling and I smiled back. I

could swim without armbands now. Mum, as always, was really happy for me.

Passage 4

We have heard it repeatedly: most people do not get enough exercise. Yet when we look at

our dogs, we say we do not give them enough exercise either.

Do dogs enjoy exercise? Of course they do. Just ask people who have asked their dog if he

wants to go for a walk. What has happened from then on whenever they have said the word walk?

Dogs usually get so excited about going for a walk.

The biggest issue about an exercise program for our dogs is getting them started. Never begin

taking your under-exercised dog for extremely long walks all of a sudden. Dogs, just like people,

need to warm up before they start to exercise and they should start a program slowly.

Walking is a great exercise for you and your dog alike. What is important is that the walking

becomes a routine and is done on a regular basis. Regular means twice a day or more if it is all

right with you. If you are tired of walking and your dog still wants to continue, then playing a

game with your dog or letting your dog go after a toy can finish the program for a dog.

To reduce any possible health risk, consider the following do’s and don’t for exercising your

dog:

Do warm your dog up with a gentle walk before starting any exercises.

Do have water available, but do not let him drink too much directly after a long walk.

Do make the exercise a routine event.

th

Don’t overdo it.

Don’t feed your dog immediately before or after exercise.

Don’t exercise your dog outside on the hottest part of a summer day or in very cold winter

weather.

31. According to the passage, how do we know dogs enjoy exercise?

A. Dogs, unlike people, don’t feel tired after vigorous exercise.

B. Dogs exercise outdoors in the heat of summer and cold of winter

C. Dogs get excited when we exercise them by taking them on a walk, for example.

D. Dogs, those under-exercised included, can walk for extremely long hours.

32. The biggest issue about an exercise program for our dogs is _________.

A. warming them up B. chaining them up

C. dressing them up D. feeding them up

33. According to the writer, what is important about walking?

A. It should be stopped once you feel tired.

B. It should be started suddenly

C. It should be ended with a game or a toy.

D. It should be done on a regular basis.

34. What should you do if you are tired of walking but your dog wants to continue?

35. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
