He was actually born in Britain, but he has become an important 19 in Irish culture. There are many stories about him, 20 killing all the snakes in Ireland and speaking with Irish ancient kings.

1. Posted by: Monica, Canada April 24 10.41 Black bread with honey— A friend of mine stayed in a hotel in India and the manager gave this to her for stomachache. It really worked. Just take a piece of bread and toast it until it’s black. Then put honey on the bread and eat it. It doesn’t look good, but it can really help. So if you get stomachache, try this therapy. 2.

The therapy came from a relative from down south. 3. Posted by: Hell, Australia April 23 18.03 A wet teabag—Here is my tip for toothache. You should put a wet teabag on the sore tooth.

May 28 Dear Editor, Yes, Sarah Williston (May 21), we do give dogs a good life, but they pay us back generously, with affection and intelligence and good humour. Dogs are loyal and can be wonderful companions (同伴). They will play safely with the kids, or stay with patients and old people all day long. Dogs are increasingly being used in nursing homes and hospitals as a companion, and in some places, teachers even have a pet dog in the classroom. It is true that training a dog takes considerable time and effort, but it is worth it. Taking care of a dog builds character, as well as offering a lot of pleasure. Sincerely, John Bonavista May 21 Dear Editor, Dogs are working animals, not pets. They belong to the farm, rounding up sheep and cattle. In the city they are just a kind of smelly, noisy trouble. If we must have dogs in the city, they need to be trained properly. There are homeless dogs and the barkers, there are also the chasers and the bounders (野狗). These terrible creatures rush up and almost knock you down before you have time to decide if they are greeting you or attacking you. Farm dogs earn their keep, but these city ones have too much from their owners. Their food’s not just dog food. It’s delicious dog food which the city dogs can eat happily from their doggy bowls. They also have a home-visit haircut which makes them different from common dogs and fur-lined baskets which they lie down and have a good sleep in. Sarah Williston 29．According to Sarah, which of the following dogs is worth keeping? A．Barkers.
B．Chasers.
C．Farm dogs.
D．Homeless dogs.
30．Both of the two people think that ________. A．dogs should have good food
B．dogs should be properly trained D．dog owners should play with kids
C．dog owners spend too much on dogs A．Dogs can work well on farms. B．City dogs can have a home-visit hair-cut. C．Dogs may appear in the classroom in some places.

31．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the two passages?
D．City dogs cannot be trusted when they are left alone.

Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.
The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”
Last year, the Garbage-Men played at local events, including festivals, farmer’s markets. Typically, the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing, Jack’s little brother Trent, 11, gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.
The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”
The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn’t.
32．They are all members of the Garbage-Men band EXCEPT ________.
A．Ollie Gray B．Trent Berry C．Austin Siegel D．Jack Berry 33．Which of the following is the correct order of what the teens have done? ① The Garbage-Men played at local events.
② Jack Berry made a playable, home-made guitar. ③ The band donated the money from sales to charity.
④ Ollie decided to form a band using home-made instruments. A．③②④① B．②①④③ C．③①②④ D．②④①③ 34．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Classical music and rubbish B．A special band C．Home-made musical instruments D．A pioneer of country music 35．The five teens formed the band with the purpose of ________.
A．making musical instruments from rubbish
B．earning more money to help support their own families C．asking more people to recycle daily rubbish around them
