He flew into the house with the of a Formula 1 (一级方程式赛车). In several minutes he ran over all the house, from my shoulder onto the bed, and ended up in the , where my wife washed him with motherly . From that day on, the invisible（看不见的） _ for the love of the new member of our household began at my home. He seemed to that at once. Most of the meals that my wife had for him with greater care than those for me---he didn’t look at.
Every evening I went out walking with him. I could not know who was walking whom one evening, when, tired from work, I the walk. The dog was very angry and dragged me out.
Last night our dog pulled me by the ear with his teeth, me up in my dream, and dragged me into the kitchen to make me turn off the which had disturbed（干扰） his sleep. I meekly（乖乖地） that I had forgotten to switch off the light, but that was not . He looked at me like a teacher at a pupil who repeatedly makes .

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21-40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be
21
with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit
22
. The only solution is to reach
23
and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more
24
measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your
25
.
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get
26
, or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for
27
. It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly
28
. The only direct and honest comparison is
29
yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only
30
to compare yourself to someone else if their life
31
is the same as your own. Good luck finding that
32
. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can
33
someone is coming up fast
34
you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best
35
.
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to
36
you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who
37
if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of
38
. You are a more
39
person today than you were yesterday. Your own
40
is all you need.

完型填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy,
41
becomes unhappy. This
42
from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy
43
their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the
44
things. They are,
45
, continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and
46
themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up
47
by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown
48
its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are
49
its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and
50
them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious
51
in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most
52
politeness and respect. This
53
puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining
54
advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step
55
speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will
56
or excuse them, and many
57
join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,
58
worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not,
59
will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,
60
when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
