　　Dear Sara，

　　As we drove off from Columbia，I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.First，I want to tell you how proud we are.Getting into Columbia College shows what a great well-rounded student you are.Your academic，artistic，and social skills have truly blossomed in the last few years.Whether it is getting the highest grade in mathematics，completing your elegant fashion design，successfully selling your painted running shoes，or becoming one of the top speakers in Model United Nations，you have become a talented and accomplished young woman.You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

　　College will be the most important years in your life.It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about.This will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired，after which you must become self-learner.So do take each subject seriously，and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life，the skills of learning will be important to you forever.

　　Follow your passion in college.Take courses you think you will enjoy.Don’t be trapped in what others think or say.Do your best in classes，but don’t let pressure get to you.Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades.If you graduate and learn something in your four years，we would feel happy.So please don’t give yourself pressure.

　　I told your mom I’m writing this letter，and asked what she wanted me to say.She thought and said：“Just ask her to take care of herself.”Please listen to your mother and take care of yourself.

　　So please treasure your college years，make the best of your free time，and become an independent thinker;learn and grow through your successes and challenges.

　　Love，

　　Dad(& Mom)

　　Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings.But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

　　Middleburg，a small town in the state of Virginia，is known for its horses.For more than 50 years，Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first，these hunters ride in the yearly parade，wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

　　John Hale，a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit，but it incorporates a lot of the o1d traditions.” The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

　　There are some newer traditions，too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming，peaceful place without tension.

　　“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back，to take a deep breath，and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace，there’s really an opportunity where you’re allowed to step off for a little bit.”

　　Parade organizers say more than 13，000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask，you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：

　　“I come here because I’m from a small town. I like how everybody comes together.”“I live right down that street;right there.And that’s my dog.”

　　Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.

　　If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.

　　Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(動脈).Over time，this can cause serious injuries.

　　Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.”

　　The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than“iron man”events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.

　　第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

　　根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　You think you know your dog. 36 She probably recognizes you when she sees you.But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face?Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.

　　37 When dog owners shout or speak in a strong，sharp voice，dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area.

　　Recently，researchers found that dogs can look at our faces，and tell the difference between a smile and a frown.The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval.Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed a series of experiments. 38 They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person’s face.On one picture，the person looked happy.The other appeared angry.The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before.

　　39 Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry，they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.Future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions. 40

　　The researchers’findings were published in the journal Current Biology.They provide the first solid evidence that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another species.

　　A.Dogs are very aware of sound.

　　B.Dogs have feelings just as you do.

　　C.But how well does your dog know you?

　　D.They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training.

　　E.Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time.

　　F.They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions.

　　G.For example，whether a frown shows that someone is angry.
