Dogs are often called as “man's best friend”, MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua（吉娃娃）, was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog Competition on October 19, 2020.
In its tenth year in 2020 the annual contest is the brainchild of American Humane, the country's first national charitable organization founded for the safety and well-being of animals. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make extremely great contributions to society.
The competition of 2020 attracted over 400 entries（参赛者）from across the country. These heroic dogs have gone above the call of duty, saving lives, comforting the ill and aged and reminding us of the powerful, age-old ties between animals and people. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who wonthe judges' hearts.
MacKenzie's growth was not easy. Born with a mouth disability, she had to be fed through a tube（管子）for the first year of her life. Despite her own struggles, she always seemed to think more of other animals in need. “Never have I seen such a will to live. Though sick, she carefully looked after the baby animals at the rescue（救助）center,” said her caretaker.
A life-saving operation performed in 2014 gave MacKenzie the ability to eat independently. The seven-year-old chihuahua is now working for the Mia Foundation, an organization that rescues and nurses animals with inborn disabilities. The chihuahua does an excellent job and has raised various animals. She plays nurse, cleans, comforts and hugs them, acting as their mother and teaching them how to socialize, play and have good manners.
In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also visits schools to educate kids about the importance of accepting physical differences in both animals and people. Her heartwarming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie a worthy receiver ofAmerica's top dog honor. 4. What can we infer about the American Hero Dog Competition?
A. It was first held in 2010 B. It was held to honor caretakers of dogs. C. It takes place every ten years. D. It was started by a charitable organization. 5. With what quality did MacKenzie win the award?

C. Courage and selflessness. D. Confidence and independence. 6. In which aspect can students benefit from MacKenzie's visits? A. Learning from failures. B. Understanding the disabled. C. Valuing physical health. D. Developing practical ability. 7. What's the best title for the text?
A. Dogs Are Man's Best Friends. B. Treat Dogs the Way We Want to Be Treated.
C. Touching Stories between MacKenzie and People D. 2020 American Hero Dog: A TinyChihuahua.

UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, ''Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子). '' Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel andlash out at us.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主). It's believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, ''This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human population density, wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病). ''
In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.
However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to ''reflect on our relationship with our planet'' and ''reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given''. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, ''Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home. ''
8. What does the phrase ''lash out at'' in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. punish B. control C. test D. challenge
9. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak? A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals. B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally. C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world. D. Humans should live peacefully with nature. 10. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A. How human beings become their own masters. B. How human activities cause global warming. C. How human beings break the balance of nature. D. How humans use technology to improve their lives. 11. What is the author's purpose in writing this article? A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak. B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.
C. To describe experts' predictions on new pandemics. D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.

Texas has been one of the most restrictive gun-rights states in America.Thanks to a new law,however,the state will be one of the most relaxed,to the degree that police are discouraged from even asking about someone's guns. And if they do, they may not have much power to do anything if the person refuses to show a license.
To be sure, the law is strict in its own way,offering a model for regulation. Under the law, open-carry citizens have to be licensed, a process that includes safety and shooting tests. They also have to show no prior psychological problems, and they have to be at least 21 years old.
It is true that gun violence dropped sharply after restrictive laws were put in place in countries like Great Britain and Australia. However,the US public seems more interested than ever in weapons and the power they convey,despite gun control groups' concern over the increase of violence. Most states in America have steadily expanded gun rights since the end of a 10-year assault(攻击)weapons ban in 2004. Black Friday this year saw the biggest gun cache(贮存)ever purchased in one day.
Considering those trends,there's a heated debate about whether the new Texas law is a model piece of legislation(立法)for a changing America,or a walking disaster just begging for trouble. As the law doesn't provide any punishment for those who refuse to show a license to a police officer, critics fear that officers may find it tough to handle potentially deadly situations. After all, armed citizens will no longer be considered suspicious, even though a lot of people might be alarmed by the sight. Most police in Texas have been told to not engage gun carriers unless they are doing something questionable or appear drunk.
For sure,New Year's Day will be an exciting one for Texas gun owners. What's not yet known is how the rest of Texas will respond.
12. All of the following are required in the new Texas law for open carry EXCEPT A. age limit B. mental condition C. online registration D. gun-operating skills
13. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. The reason for putting forward the new Texas law. B. The present situation of gun possession in America. C. The impact of the assault weapons ban in 2004. D. The inaction of the US government as to gun control. 14. What do critics think the new Texas law will probably lead to? A. Heavier workload for policemen. B. Disrespect for officers. C. Lack of trust among citizens. D. Difficulty in crime prevention.
15. What is the author's attitude towards the new Texas law? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Indifferent. D. Approving.
