　　If you’re a dog lover, you probably know about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Held annually in New York City, the event attracts thousands of dogs and their handlers, each competing for the top prize, Best in Show. Westminster is so popular that some people call it a Canine(犬科)Super Bowl.

　　But did you know that lots of smaller—and very different—dog shows take place each year across the country? One of them was held recently in Jacksonville, Florida. It was the Pals and Paws Agility Trial.

　　About 100 dogs took part in the three-day event, held March 8—10 at the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. In a dog contest, dogs compete on an obstacle course. They run through tunnels, weave through poles and jump through hoops and over hurdles. Handlers direct the dogs through obstacles. Dogs are judged on how long it takes them to complete the obstacle course and how well they perform each of the challenges. Ribbons and titles are awarded as dogs complete different events.

　　Dog agility(灵活)is a popular sport, widely practiced around the world. Participants say it strengthens the bond between handler and dog while providing exercise for both.

　　Does your dog have what it takes to compete? Liz McGuire says preparation is key. “You can keep your dog in condition by exercising them and feeding them the right foods, ”she said. “The dog has to train, sort of like a football player. ”McGuire competes in agility trials with five Australian shepherds(牧羊人).

　　Suzanne Wesley’s gray poodle(狮子狗), Raya, was in top shape at the Jacksonville event: Raya won the Agility Dog Champion title. It is one of the competition’s highest awards. Other owners and dogs taking part in the trials included Terry Herman and her miniature poodle, Idgie, and Stuart Mah with his four-year-old border collie, Ares.

　　For dog owners like Hunter Moore, however, the Pals and Paws Agility Trial was pure entertainment. He has a pug named Bessie, but he doesn’t compete. What did Moore like most about the Jacksonville event? “Seeing everyone try their best, even the dogs! ”

　　阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　Every day has the potential to be a good and, in some cases, a great day for you.

　　Few of us get up in the morning　1　(think)that we want this to be a bad day.

　　Yet in many cases the day turns that way because of a person or an event　2　we worry about.

　　Think about those small events which can throw you off balance and affect your whole day　3　(negative).

　　Who stole your day? Was　4　a boss, an unruly child, an erratic driver on the way to work, getting　5　“F”on a history paper, 　6　an impolite waiter at lunch that did?

　　Every day numerous people or events can prevent us from having a good day, if we let them.

　　The key is that we should adopt a positive attitude towards life.

　　We cannot control　7　happens to us in many cases, but we can control how we react　8　these events.

　　Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher, 　9　(say), “He who conquers others is strong; he who conquers　10　is mighty. ”

　　【文章大意】每一天既可能会朝着好的方面发展, 也可能会朝着坏的方面发展, 关键是看我们对生活采取的态度。虽然我们不能控制会发生什么事, 但我们可以控制我们对所发生的事情的态度。

　　3. 【解析】negatively。考查副词。修饰动词(affect), 应用副词。

　　4. 【解析】it。考查代词。本句是强调句, 句中缺少it。

　　5. 【解析】an。考查冠词。F表示的是学业成绩中的F级别, 是一个可数名词, 此处是泛指“一个F级别”, 应用不定冠词; F是以元音音素开头的, 应用不定冠词an修饰。

　　6. 【解析】or。考查并列连词。an impolite waiter和“F”on a history paper是并列关系, 表示的是一种可能性, 应用or, 意为“或者”。

　　7. 【解析】what。考查宾语从句。control后跟的是一个宾语从句, 从句中缺少主语, 应用what引导。

　　9. 【解析】said。考查时态。表述过去发生的事情, 应用一般过去时。

　　10. 【解析】himself。考查代词。由He who conquers others is strong可知, 此处指的是“征服自己的人才是强大的”。主语是he, 所以反身代词用himself。
