A

Some six years ago, I was studying for the college entrance examination. Everyone was very exhausted. Living conditions in the countryside were not very good. One morning as usual, my classmates and I got up at 5 :30 to begin studying. The fog was thickening. It was still a little cold. We were absorbed in our studies. Just then, a familiar figure appeared outside the window and waved his hand to me. It was my father. My heart pounded with excitement. Many classmates turned around and looked at me with envy. They guessed that he had brought something delicious for me to eat.

How excited I was! I ran out of the classroom. My dad was all wet. Obviously, his worn jacket didn't keep him dry. He had walked all the way from my hometown fifteen kilometers away.

"Dad---" I went up to him and lowered my head. "Thank you!" I was choked. Then he raised his hand and tenderly wiped my tears away. "Son, cheer up! Just try your best. " he said. Then he handed me a bag wrapped in several layers of cloth. "Hurry, it is still warm," he said. I removed the cover and ate the food greedily. Warmth flowed through my whole body. He looked at me with a satisfied smile on his weathered face. ' Son, I have to catch the six o'clock bus home. Take care of yourself. We will come to see you if we have time. Take every chance and study hard. Keep it in mind. Now, I must be off. " He said.

I wanted him to take my coat but he refused firmly. Then he turned around and walked down the road. The back of his jacket danced in the wind. Very quickly, he disappeared into the fog.

At last, I realized my dream. I studied for four years at a famous university in the south. Now, I have a job in a big company. My father's love will encourage me to overcome any difficulties I meet in the future.

Humans not only enjoy eating ice cream, but they enjoy feeding it to their pets as well. Market studies show two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to their dogs. Unfortunately, says William Tyznik, an expert on animal nutrition at Ohi
o State Un
iversity, ice cream is not good for dogs. " It has milk sugar in it," he says, "which dogs cannot digest very well.

Bothered by that knowledge but aware of the desire of dog owners to please their companions, Tyznik invented a new frozen treat for dogs that, he says, is more nutritious than ice cream-and as much fun to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid byproduct of cheese and milk with the sugar removed. Frosty Paws also contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals. It took Tyznic,who has also invented a horse feed (called Tizwhiz) and another dog food (named Tizbits ) , three years to perfect the Frosty Paws formula ( 配方) , and two attempts to commercialize it. After losing $ 25 ,000 trying to market the invention himself, Tyznik sold the rights to Associated Ice Cream of Weatervile, Ohio, which makes the product and packages it in cups.

Tyznik claims that Frosty Paws has been tested extensively and that "dogs love it". Of 1 ,400 dogs that have been offered the product, he says, 89 percent took it on the first try. Three out of four preferred it to milk, bone or sausages. The product, which will be available in the ice-cream section of supermarkets, comes in packs of three or four cups, costing between $ 1. 39 and $ 1. 79.

What would happen if a human should mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyznik. It's harmless, but frankly, he says, it won't taste very good.

28. Two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to their dogs because ________.

A. they can't find any other dog food on the market

B. they take pleasure in doing this C. ice cream is cheap on the market

D. ice cream is easy to digest

29. For dogs, Frosty Paws _______.

A. is healthier than ice cream B. tastes much better than ice cream

C. is sweeter than ice cream D. looks much more attractive than ice c
ream

30. With the invention of Frosty Paws, Tyznik ________.

A. became very famous overnight B. lost all the money he had

C. made a big fortune D. provided a frozen food for dogs

31. Humans ________. A. may find the taste of Frosty Paws not so good

B. like the taste of Frosty Paws, too C. may get poisoned by Frosty Paws

D. often mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream

D

Attention to details is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. "It's amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.

" Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake,! eliminate the candidate. " Crossley concludes," If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"

Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, " we must constantly ask ourselves how the det
