training, they
will
behave
like wild
animals.
They
will
soil
your
house,
destroy
your
belongings,
bark
excessively
,
fight
other dogs and even bite
you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly
normal dog
activities
that
occur
at
the
wrong
time
or
place
or
are
directed
at
the
wrong
thing.
key to preventing or
treating behavior problems

your
dog

come

is
showing
obedience
and
respect
for
you. It
is
not
necessary
to establish
yourself
as top dog or
leader of
the
pack
(
群
) by
using
extreme
measure.
Y
ou
can
teach
your
dog
its

subordinate
(
从属的

role

Passage T
wo
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality
and rationality
,
but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I
wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with
my aims
would
have chosen a college
with a
large engineering department,
famous reputation
and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that
’
s not what I did.
I chose to study engineering at a small
liberal-arts
(
文科
) university that doesn
’
t
even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice;
I came
here
for
more
noble reasons.3. I wanted a broad education that would provide
me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my
eyes and expand
my
vision by
interacting
with people who weren
’
t studying science
or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised
me
for
such a
sensible
choice.
They
told
me
I
was
wise
and
mature
beyond
my
18
years,
and
I
believed
them.
I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students
who went to big engineering
“
factories
”
where they didn
’
t care
if
you
have
values or
were
flexible. 4.I was
going to be a complete engineer: technical
genius and sensitive

humanist
(
人文学者
) all in one.
Now I
’
m
not so sure. 5. Somewhere along the way
my
noble
ideals crashed
into
reality
,
as
all
noble
ideals
eventually
do.
After
three
years
of
struggling
to
balance
math, physics and engineering courses
with
liberal-arts courses,
I
have
learned there
are
reasons
why
few
engineering
students
try
to

reconcile
(
协调
)
engineering
with
liberal-arts courses in college.
The reality that
has blocked
my path
to become
the typical
successful student
is
that engineering and the
liberal arts simply
don’t’

mix as easily as
I assumed
in
high
school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten
to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.
