He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was too old to pete with the young and too weak to do any labor work. 18 He didn’t want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself. Also, Mrs. Mockenhaupt actively encouraged him to move on, considering it a perfect chance for two of them to start their own business with plenty of time and without the disturbance of children. 19 Brian found just what he wanted eight blocks from home — an existing cafe that was underperforming and whose owner was highly motivated to get out of his lease(租期). 20 But the problem was that he had never financially planned for this day. He had to borrow money from friends and relatives. After that, he changed the name to Black Dog Coffee, and made it alive again. Eighteen years later, they’re still there and doing better than ever.

I’ve consulted several travel experts to find out the top places in the USA worth visiting in 2020.Where: New Orleans, LouisianaWhy: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene — not to mention the festivals. It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a mustvisit location, especially for firsttimers to the city.Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular town with cobblestone(鵝卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.Where: Hudson Valley, New YorkWhy: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city when they need a healthy dose of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and half north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.1. You can enjoy different things in New Orleans except A. scenery B. music C. festivals D. food 2. Which place would you prefer if you like wandering leisurely?A. Bourbon Street. B. Vail Village. C. Lionshead Village. D. New Orleans.3. What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley?A. Ancient towns. B. Healthy diets. C. Slow movement. D. Inner peace.【答案】13 ABDBTwenty years ago, I became involved in pet therapy(治療) work. As digging deeper into the job, I had an urge to be a recorder of their daily work to let more and more people know their efforts and contributions. After all, they could not say our languages. It was when I got familiar with the work that I got my golden retriever puppy(金毛尋回犬), whom I named Angel. As she matured and went through obedience training, I realized that she would be a good partner.Angel is ten now and still works every week. As a rule, she visits two hospitals, a day care for the elderly, and our library’s PAWS for Reading program. Angel has also helped out at a children’s specialneeds camp. She is so popular that everywhere we go people recognize her, especially the kids she has worked with.We have seen some very special things through our pet therapy work. I brought Angel to our local hospital to visit a woman who was pletely paralyzed(癱瘓的) on her right side from a stroke. One day, my husband, Jack asked her if she wanted to give Angel a treat. She nodded and gently took the treat, raised her right hand and started petting Angel. Her friend was in the room and said, “She hasn’t been able to move that hand since she had her stroke!”Somehow it seems appropriate that when Angel visits the hospital, she also performs tricks for the patients with her paws. The best one is when she crouches on the floor and crosses her paws. She stays still and doesn’t move until Jack says “Best wishes”. It’s the best wishes for all the people Angel meets as well as for her.4. Why does the author want to be a recorder?A. Pet
