That's why about two weeks before the big day, Ellie decided to throw her party in a meeting room at the nursing home.
"They are crazy about one another and love to spend time together cooking, shopping, going to church, helping with church functions or just chatting," Kimber, Ellie's mother, said.

After they set up the meeting room with party favors and decorations fit for the theme, Ellie and her friends knocked on Rita's door and asked her if she'd join them for a tea party. "I think she was in shock," Kimber said. "She was so choked up and had tears streaming down her face.”
Kimber said that Rita and Ellie both had a wonderful time at the party and that there were lots of smiles and hugs. When asked what she thought about her daughter's kind gesture, Kimber said she was "proud" of Ellie.

How does running a marathon and burning over 1, 000 calories per hour without even getting off your sofa completely sound? That's exactly what BionicGym, an advanced wearable neuro-stimulator (神经刺激器), claims to help you achieve.
Let's be honest, we've all seen similar devices in sci-fi movies or teleshopping advertisements before, but they're really not that effective. However, BionicGym creator Dr Louis Crowe says this product is truly revolutionary.
Crowe says he came up with the idea for this unique neuro-stimulator over 16 years ago, when he would get into the cold Atlantic ocean so he could observe the effects of shivering (颤栗). He discovered that as he got colder he didn't shiver faster, but he shivered at the same rate. He also found that this natural way of burning calories allowed a person to burn a lot of calories without actually doing any exercise.
Crowe did more research on how to use shivering as an effective training and weight-loss tool, and developed BionicGym. He's teamed up with Dr Barry Broderick to bring it to market. To do so, they need some funding to redesign the device. Then it has to be approved by regulators. BionicGym may be ready for sale by November this year. But people seem so impressed by the abilities of BionicGym to give them a workout while resting on a sofa that they seem to have no problem parting with $ 300 for the chance to one day try it out. Crowe's crowdfunding campaign had a goal of $ 20, 000, but with 11 days to go, it's already passed the $ 287. 000 mark.
In a promotional video, Crowe presents a graph showing that used at top levels. BionicGym can burn around 1, 100 calories per hour, and get your heart rate up to around 180 bpm-beats per minute. Crowe warns that using the device at top levels makes for a very tough workout, requiring previous training. Beginners or older people can use it at lower levels and make their way up to the tougher programs.
Why does the author mention the question in Paragraph 1 ?
A. To express his doubts.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To describe the benefits of running.
D. To compare different calorie-burning ideas.
29.Where does Crowe's inspiration for BionicGym come from?
A. A sci-fi movie. B. His imagination.
C. A teleshopping ad. D. His own experience.
What do the figures in Paragraph 4 mainly suggest?
A. It's hard to win a chance to try using BionicGym.
B. BionicGym can't win regulators 'approval easily.
C. The public show great enthusiasm for BionicGym.
D. BionicGym's future will be determined by its funding.
What can be inferred about BionicGym from the last paragraph?
A. It especially appeals to old people.
B. It can meet the needs of different people.
C. It is tough for beginners to use the device.
D. It can burn around 1, 100 calories every day.
D

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Understand your pet's body language
Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet. 36 Understanding your pet's body language will help you to be a better communicator, as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
● 37 If your dog isn't looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst. If your dog is feeling stressed or aggressive, its wide eyes will be accompanied by a rigid(绷紧的)body.
●If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly, it's likely communicating affection. 38 For cats, closing one's eyes in the presence of another is a way to show trust. If your cat feels threatened, its tail will likely be upright; its back will likely be arched, too.
● 39 If your bird's pupils ( 瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it's excited or greatly interested, or scared or angry. 40 Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves ; if their feathers remain shaking, however, this could mean they’re unwell, in which case, take them to an animal doctor for a checkup.
A.Pets' health depends on your daily care.
B.You can do this back at your cat to show your love, too.
C.The context is important in telling which emotion it might be.
D.Birds can be quite expressive through their eyes, feathers, and voices.
E.When dogs feel stressed out or threatened, their eyes will look larger than normal.
F.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together.
G.If you're unsure or your pet's body language, consider reading some articles for your specific animal.
