The reason is that, if you own a dog,you must train a dog, and many dog owners out there, it is safe to say, have little or no controlover their dogs, because they do not train them. Strong words? MaybeBut they are sim

31、ple, honest words, as untrained dogs living inresidential neighborhoods bark at will, run loose, and visit and damage neighboring propertieswith their ownersblessings as they deliberately let them run. Take note of the fact that you, the dog owner, cannot control your dog causing a continualnuisance

32、（麻烦事）that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood. Theres nothing moreannoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying tounderstand the deficient（有缺陷的）mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so.After all, the irresponsible dog owner hears the

33、barking too, and so those who must put up withit are continually left wondering-what are they thinking, are they deaf? Many dog owners believe it is not possible for their dog to be trained, an indication that theowners themselves lack self discipline, and most likely have never really tried to appl

34、y disciplineto other issues in their lives, not with consistency, or that they are simply lazy and inattentive totheir own adult responsibilities at the expense of others. Irresponsible dog owners, though, do train their dogs. A dog is a reflection of its owner.Whatever a dog does (run loose, bark a

35、t will, jump on guests entering the front door, soilneighboring lawns) is a result of the decisions of the owner. The choice not to do something isindeed a choice. The good news is that with mere consistency, a dog can be trained rather quickly, in acouple of weeks if the owner takes his responsibil

36、ity seriously. Again, that process will be areflection of the owners behavior, and the primary ingredient（要素）in that behavior is notallowing the dog, not even once, to repeat the bad behavior without consequences when told anddirected not to. You can stop your dog from barking with simple firm voice

37、 commands, directeye contact, and force of will in a relatively short time, provided you are consistent and areasonably mature person. Dogs, what，s more, love this training because pleasing you, their owner, is what they arcall about. The upshot（结果，要点）will be that you have a more connected relations

38、hip with yourdog, a better dog that is suited to its environment.56. Which is NOT the reason for dog owners to have little or no control over their dogs? A. They are lazy and unwilling to train their dogs. B. They think their dogs can act well without training. C，They lack self-control over many iss

39、ues in daily life. D. They dont give enough attention to their responsibilities.57. Whats the authors attitude towards owners of untrained dogs? A. Prejudiced. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Curious.58. This article is mainly written to A. instruct dog owners how to train dogs B call on dog owners

40、to train their dogs C. sing high praise for responsible dog owners D. analyze the relationship between dog owners and their dogs59. It can be concluded from the passage that A. responsible dog owners can put up with dogsbarking B irresponsible dog owners deliberately train their dogs to do something

41、 wrong C. we should not own dogs because they can damage the quality of our daily lifeD whether a dog can be trained properly may depend on the dog owners behavior Taking place every spring in the worlds leading publishing and cultural capital, its aunique opportunity to explore and understand the i

52、itish consular. C The closest known relative of the ancestors of limbed（肢体）animals such as humans mayhave evolved the foundation for back legs even before the move to land, researchers say. Thisancestor may have even been able to walk underwater, they add. These findings reveal that a key step in th

53、e evolution of back limbs happened in fish,challenging previous theories that such appendages（附肢）evolved only after the move to land.Scientists investigated fossils（化石）of a 375-million-year-old fish known as Tiktaalik,discovered in 2004 in northern Canadas Ellesmere Island. Possessing a broad flat h

54、ead andsharp teeth, Tiktaalik resembled a cross between a fish and a crocodile, growing to a length of 9feet (2.7 meters) as it hunted for its food in shallow freshwater. This ancient creature was undoubtedly a fish. However, it also had features seen in moderntetrapods（四足动物） This ancient fish had l

55、arge forefins and shoulders, elbows and partial wrists, enabling it tosupport itself on ground. This makes it the best-known example of a link between finned（鳍）animals and limbed animals marking the evolutionary change from water to land for creatureswith backbones. Previous analyses of other fossil

56、s dating from the water-land change found their backappendages were small and weak compared with their front appendages. This suggested theearliest ancestors of tetrapods perhaps had a front-wheel drive form of movement thatdepended more on their front limbs, and that a four-wheel drive form of move

57、ment with stronghips and back limbs only developed after tetrapods evolved. Until now, the only fossils of Tiktaalik researchers had examined were of its front parts. Tofind out more about the fish, researchers investigated additional blocks of rock recovered fromthe dig site where Tiktaalik was dis

58、covered. Although some of these blocks were first dug in2004, researchers did not look at them more closely until recently, mainly because the blocks didnot seem to contain much bone. Moreover, it took years to carefully and properly remove therock surrounding the fragile fossils. The scientists dis

59、covered the back part of TiktaalikThis made a direct comparison of thefront and back appendages of the animal possible. Unexpectedly, the researchers found Tiktaalikhad big, strong pelvic（胃盆）bones with similarities to early tetrapods. I was expecting to find a diminutive back fin and pelvis, study l

60、ead author Neil Shubin, apaleontologist at the University of Chicago, told LiveScience. Seeing the huge pelvis set meback a bit-I looked at it again and again, because I was quite surprised. Shubin cautioned that Tiktaalik is not the ancestor of all limbed vertebrates. It is currentlythe closest kno
