听力原文：A(man): Hi, Mice. I hear that you are planning to have a dog in your house. Is that true？

B(woman): Yeah. But I am not so sure now. I'd love to have one because I think dogs are good companions.

A: Sure. I think most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their byes. If you are thinking of buying a dog, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide.

B: So. What's you advice？

A: Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense. Most breeds were originally developed to perform. specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics.

B: I have not decided yet, you know. I just thought dogs are lovely and they will do things you want them to do.

A: That's half true. You must be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life. Dogs are demanding pets. The best time to buy a baby-dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

ng or relation or property. This is the word's" meaning."

Let us suppose that the one grandparent of the dog was a collie, another was an Irish terrier, another a fox terrier, and the fourth a bulldog. We can express these facts equally scientifically and objectively by-saying that he is a dog of mixed breed. We have in no way gone be yond the requirements of exact scientific description.

Suppose, however, that we had called the same animal a" mongrel". The matter is more complicated. We have used a word which objectively means the same as" dog of mixed breed", but which also arouse in our hearers an emotional attitude of disapproval toward that particular dog. A word, therefore, can not only indicate an object; but can also suggest an emotional attitude toward it. Such suggestion of an emotional attitude does go beyond exact and scientific discussion because our approvals and disapprovals are individual--they belong to ourselves and not to the objects we approve or disapprove of.

Once we are on the outlook for this difference between" objective" and "emotional" meanings, we shall notice that words which carry more or less strong suggestions of emotional attitudes are very common and are ordinarily used in the discussion of such debatable questions as those of politics, morals, and religion. This is one reason why such controversies cannot yet be settled.

There is a well-known saying that the word "firm" can be declined as follows: I am firm, you are obstinate, and he is pigheaded. This is a simple illustration of what is meant. "Firm," "obstinate", and "pigheaded" all have the same objective meaning--that is, following one's own course of action and refusing to be influenced by other people's opinions. They have, how ever, different emotional meanings:" firm" has an emotional meaning of strong approval, "obstinate" of mild disapproval, "pigheaded" of strong disapproval.

In much the same way when, during World War I , thoughts were dominated by emotions, the Americans contrasted the spirit of our heroic boys with ruthlessness of the Germans. Now with the more objective attitude that has been brought by the lapse of time, we can look back and see that the spirit and the ruthlessness are objectively the same. Only the one word has an emotional meaning of approval, the other of disapproval.

The first three paragraphs tell us that______.

A．there is no real difference between calling a dog a mongrel and calling it a mixed breed

B．a dog of mixed breed is an emotional term

C．mongrel is an objective term

D．words may suggest emotional attitude as well as objective meaning

Techniques to Help Us Remember Better

We all have problems remembering things, but there are some techniques that you can use to help you remember.

First of all, remember the names and jobs of the people and where they come from. ______【46】. And you should try to think of funny images as they are easier to remember. For example, we have Tom—the student from Australia. Well, for Tom you might imagine a tomato. Then Australia has a shape a bit like a dog. ______【47】. So imagine Tom's face as a tomato and he's with a dog and the dog is reading a book. So now we have a picture of Tom the student from Australia.

Now let's take the numbers. The best thing to do here is to break a large number up into smaller numbers and then think of things that the numbers remind you of, such as a birthday, a particular year, the number of a house. ______【48】.

With the directions, the best thing is to imagine you yourself following the directions.

______【49】. Count the turnings 1, 2. . . Then turn left. Now imagine going past a supermarket and a cinema and so on.

When you have to remember lists of words, try to build them into a story. So with our words we might start with, "The sun was shining, so I went for a walk. I saw a horse wearing trousers. It was kicking some bananas over a television. The bananas landed in a bag. " And so on. ______【50】. Try some of these techniques and you'll be amazed at what you can remember.

A. We cannot remember the same as we can do before we get old

B. Now let's imagine it's a very clever dog and is studying

C. Create a picture in your mind of yourself going down the street

D. Here, the best thing is to imagine images of the people and the names that you want to remember

E. Again the funnier the story, the better

F. Or with a number like 747 you might think of a jumbo jet—a Boeing 747
