Is she OK?” shouted Joanne． “ She’s fine， Joanne． I took out the thing which was choking her， and she’s OK now．” Just then， the two policemen reappeared from the house， halfcarrying a white— faced man，who could hardly walk． There was blood all over him． “ My God，” said Joanne，“ how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?” “ I think he must be a burglar．” said the doctor．“ I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat： it turned out to be three human fingers” 60.

From the passage， we can infer that ． A． Sheba fought against the burglar B． the police found the burglar had broken in C． Joanne had planned to take her dog to the meeting D． the doctor performed a difficult operation on the dog 63. In this passage， the writer intends to tell us that the dog is ． A． clever B． friendly C． frightening D． devoted C Apparently， we are safe neither at home nor in the business office． We use water in both places， but the research shows that chemicals added to our local water supply to kill harmful bacteria can have unwanted side effects． These chemicals can cause potential harm through drinking and in seemingly harmless activities as cleaning one’s house． They are released(set free)from water by daily actions like water running out of tap， spraying from garden pipes， or splashing in dishwashers and washing machines． As the water is moving． these chemicals are released into the air and then breathed in. Once inside our bodies, they start to affect our health. Does this mean we should stop bathing? No, say the scientists, but we should put all pollution into perspective. Activities at home such as the burning of coal, cooking oil, or even candles release carbon monoxide and particulates such as cigarette ashes which have been proven as harmful to health as working or living near heavy traffic. New tugs, bedding, and even clothing give off that“ new smell, ” which is a sure sign of chemicals. In the office, newly applied paint, newly purchased telephones and other telemunications equipment, and puters release polluting chemicals, too. As offices and homes often have inadequate ventilation (通风 ), these chemicals can build up to bee health problems. Their poisonous effects are only now being slowly recognized. These facts suggest that, at a minimum, proper airing of newly purchased goods with an obvious chemical smell is a wise warning. Home and office windows should be opened during good weather. Even one’s car needs to be ventilated as well while in the garage. We need further research to understand better other potential health dangers, too. For example, the effects of overcrowding of schools (carbon dioxide buildup ), the factory work environment ( an endless list of potentially dangerous substances ), and even home heating and cooling (the air conditioner may be our enemies, not our friends) have only recently started to e to light. Until we understand the effects of our new technological environment better, we can only hope that“ there is no place like home.” 64. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?。
