News Report 1
The British government has called for more men to consider a career in nursing. Figures show the number of male nurses has fallen in the last three years. Now, the number of men working in the nursing sector has reached a seven year low. Members of male nurses increased between 2011 and 2014 and reached a peak of 7168. This figure has dropped to only 6924 in 2017. The UK health secretary said this is clearly a cultural problem, and probably one that exists in many parts of the world. “ But we can make efforts to change that now, we want to persuade males to think about career options of going into nursing. There is absolutely no reason why men can't go into this profession.” The health secretary said that the government already has plans to attract a more varied workforce into nursing. She stated, “ we are leading the way on workforce planning, we will become the first nation in Europe to publish a national health and cure workforce plan.”

Passage 2
There's an endless amount of scientific data proving that dogs can develop strong bonds with their owners. People aren't kidding when they say they love their dog or their dog loves them, but were rather ignorant about the nature of the relationships that form between dogs.
In an effort to understand the matter further, I spoke with doctors Mark Beckhoff a researcher and former professor of animal behavior. The-doctors response to the question of whether or not dogs can fall in love like humans do was a straight “Of course!” He went on to say that if love is defined as a long term commitment meaning dogs seek one another out when they’re apart, they're happy when they're reunited, they protect one another, they feed one another, they raise their children together. Then, of course, dogs love each other.
Now our furry friends don't really experience romantic love, like in the movies, but they can form deep and lasting bands with their fellow dogs as well as humans.
In fact, evidence shows almost dogs stay with one partner their whole lives. In actuality, love between dogs can be even more intimate than human relationships. When they interact, they aren’t afraid to smell each other and will express themselves clearly and honestly, Once again, it seems we have a lot to learn from dogs.

Q21.What does the speaker say about most dogs?
【答案】They stay with one partner for life.
【解析】本题考查篇章结尾重点信息。原文说in fact, evidence shows almost dogs stay with one partner their whole lives证据表明大部分狗一生中只有一个配偶，听清楚关键词one partner即可选出正确答案。

Now, researchers at New Mexico State University preserving this discovery, which was identified as an ancient elephant-like animal. Kyle Sparks, father of Jude, said he let his son decide what to do with the fossil.
So Jude reached out to Peter Houde, a professor at new Mexico State University who had experience with the same type of fossil in the past. The next day Houde came out to see the fossil for himself. Houde told ABC News that he was quite excited about the find. It was fortunate that the family didn't try to dig up the fossil because that could destroy the specimen; they did the right thing by calling someone who would know what to do. "It's great for the community, because now everybody can appreciate it," he added.
