26、The shy, 8-year-old rescue dog, with brown spots was lost in the winter cold.

Her owner, Charles Reigies, remembers the moment she disappeared, the day after Christmas. He and his girlfriend, Hanna Poscente, were driving back home in one of the first storms of the season. Reigies hit a black ice. The Jeep crashed onto its side. “When I came to myself, she was hurt and the dog was gone,” he said.

It was dark out and they were miles from any town, two hours from home. An ambulance rushed Poscente to a hospital with a broken neck. As Reigies waited for a tow truck (拖车), he kept searching for Mia in the snow. But there were no signs of her.

The next day, Poscente restarted her Facebook account to post about Mia. She joined groups of lost-and-found pets across the region. Days passed. The posts were liked and shared. Strangers in small towns kept searching for Mia and posting daily updates online.

And if that village had a mayor, it would be Janet Cross, who lives about 20 minutes from the crash site. She had heard that pets will keep returning to where they’ve lost their people. So, 10 days after the crash, she set up a camera at the site. She could see that Mia was still coming back twice a day. It was hopeful. Mia was alive.

Over the next couple of weeks, people called and messaged with Mia sightings. And Charles and Hanna came back to check the crash site as often as they could. There were several near misses. Finally, Poscente received a call from a woman, saying “I’m looking at your dog.”

Thanks to the help of many people, Mia made it home.

27、I learnt to swim when I was a teenager. I went to the local（本地的）swimming pool with my two sisters. It was old and cold and not very nice. I can still remember my instructor：his name was Colin Firth, like the actor. But he wasn't as good-looking!

——Karen Marks

My first experience of swimming was when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was on a small boat with about ten other boys. It was very small and someone pushed me in the water.

28、The story about horses in North America told in several written histories is in need of an update, according to a new study. After examining archaeological (考古学的) remains (遗骸) of horses, researchers suggest Indigenous peoples (土著居民) had spread the animals through the American West by the first half of the 1600s — before they met Europeans.

The findings agree with oral (口述的) histories from Indigenous groups, which tell of interactions (相互作用) with horses before settlers arrived in their homelands. Meanwhile, written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680.

Horses first appeared in the Americas around four million years ago, but by about 10,000 years ago, they had mostly disappeared from the record. Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519. According to the new study, Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networks

To find when the animals spread, researchers examined the remains of more than twenty horses discovered across the Western U.S. Rather than simply walking around the countryside on their own, the horses appear to have been part of Native American culture. Signs of teeth problems on one horse and growths on the bones of the head of another suggested people had put bridles (马勒) on the animals. Certain chemical elements (化学元素) in the animals’ teeth suggested they ate maize, an Indigenous plant. And another horse had a previously broken facial bone that had fully recovered, meaning it might have received medical treatment.

Researchers compared the ancient horses’ DNA with that of modern horses and found that the centuries-old horses had largely Spanish origins (血统).

Together, the findings suggest horses spread “from Spanish settlements in the American Southwest to the northern Rockies and central Great Plains by the first half of the 17th century.”

The findings also highlight the importance of Indigenous oral traditions in understanding history. “Our cultures have been so misunderstood for so long,” says co-author Yvette Collin. “Too often history has been told around us, without us.”

【1】What needs to be updated according to the new study?

A．When horses showed up in the Americas.

B．Who introduced horses to North America.

C．When Native Americans first met Europeans.

D．Who spread horses through the American West.

【2】What did researchers find out about ancient horses from the remains?

A．They had hardly any Spanish origins.

B．They were born with tooth disease.

C．They played a role in natives’ life.

D．They were badly treated by natives.

【3】What does Collin think of oral histories?

A．They spread easily.

B．They show the truth.

C．They pass down traditions.

D．They unite Indigenous groups.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Written texts explain human-horse interactions

B．Oral histories help us understand Indigenous cultures

C．New research rewrites the history of American horses

D．Archaeological remains are the key to learning about the past

29、Nowadays, many of us are working long hours at home, so more than ever, we are in need of a pet to help relieve anxiety and provide company for the lonely days. 【1】 There are simply too many benefits to list, so we've gathered only our top reasons.

【2】 Working long hours from home can never be a nice thing. Without all the human contact we would normally get in the office, we can often find ourselves feeling lonely and isolated. However, with a pet at home we're likely to feel much better.

A call to head outdoors. For those who have an animal that enjoys going outdoors, pets can serve as a great reminder of heading outdoors to get some fresh air. 【3】 However, often owners will return from their walks feeling calmer, more relaxed and more energized. Whatever the weather, getting outside is beneficial to us.

Caring for something else. Often, when we feel loneliness or anxiety, we tend to be focusing inwards, to our own worries and self-doubts. 【4】 Therefore, it's advisable to invest time in our pet's well-being by giving them the best care we can.

Motivation (动力) and routine. Pets are a source of motivation for their owners simply because they rely on us so heavily. Without a pet, we'll find it hard to keep our daily routine while working at home. 【5】. But when we have a pet to look after, we have to get up early and be ready for the day ahead. This is going to benefit both the pet and ourselves.

A．An end to loneliness.

B．A time killer in daily life.

C．We tend to skip meals or sleep late.

D．Pets often walk here and there and make our house dirty.

E．The positive effects a pet can have on our mental health are amazing.

F．The task of heading out for a walk on a rainy day may not seem attractive.

G．Directing our attention to the outside world helps relieve those negative feelings.
