More and more families in Hong Kong now own a dog. Because of lack of space in the home

and on the streets, it is important that a dog should be properly trained. Y

our neighbour’s __

10__

for your dog will also be increased if he

is well-behaved and does not __11__ their children, or

bark all night.

Training __12__ a great deal of patience and self-control on the part of the trainer. Getting

angry if your dog fails to obey you will not help. Y

ou will often have to repeat instructions many

times before your dog obeys. When he does finally do as

he is told, you should reward him with

__13__ and maybe something good to eat. He will __14__ come to associate doing what you tell

him to do with these rewards and so will follow your instructions more quickly.

It

is

very

important

that,

during

training,

certain

basic

__15__

should

be

followed.

The

training

work

should

only

be

carried

out

by

one

member

of

the

family.

Different

voices

and

intonations

(

语调

) will only __16__ the dog. Once you have trained your dog, it is then time to

train your family! Make sure they all use the words that you have taught him to obey.

Dogs, like people, enjoy praises and reward. If you __17__ your dog for not obeying, he will

associate the word of command with punishment and will be less __18__ to obey you in the future.

And, like students dogs prefer short lessons which are fun to long boring ones.

II. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,

C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Several times throughout your school years, you may be asked to work with one or more of

your

classmates.

19

is

necessary,

and

is

usually

more

productive

than

working

alone.

Whatever

the

task

your

group

is

assigned,

a

few

20

need

to

be

followed

to

ensure

a

productive and successful learning experience.

What comes first is to keep a(n)

21

mind, because every member is equally important

and everyone’s ideas should be taken into conside

ration. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide

the group task among all group members. Choose a

22

on the team that is best suited to your

particular strengths, so that you can perform best. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and

encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual (

相互的

) support

and trust often make a great difference.

Activities like

investigations are most

23

when done by small groups. Here are some

more

24

for

effective

team

performance

during

these

activities:

Make

sure

each

group

member understands and agrees to the

25

, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what

to do, take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be

26

your own

learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group

members.

When there is

27

to be done, divide the task into several areas, and this can explore the

issue

in

a

very

28

way,

which

can

make

your

research

work

more

fruitful.

Y

ou

are

encouraged to keep records of the

29

used by each person, which helps you trace back to the

origin of the problems that may happen

30

. A

format (

规范

) for exchanging information (e.g.

photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for

a well- chosen method not only

strengthens what you present but

also makes yourself easily

31

. When the time comes to

32

on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group, and most important of

all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise (

折中

) and agreement.

After

you’ve

complete
