These dangers include accidents and even sudden stops that can result in serious injury. You have to keep in mind that these dangers that could affect you, could also affect your dog!

These devices(器具) are created and designed to keep dogs in place while a car is moving and act as lifesaving devices during accidents. ‎ Safe car travel with your dog is very important to your safety and also to your dogs. If your dog is not harnessed down while driving, it could jump onto your lap and could cause you to have an accident. This could result in injury to yourself and also to your dog.

The nation(民族) of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States. After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible -- there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper. ‎ In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River? ‎ The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched(行进，使前进) them at gunpoint into the western part of the country. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died. It was indeed a march of death. ‎ ‎6. Where the Cherokee Nation used to live?‎ A. on the American continent. B. in the southeastern part of the US. ‎ C. beyond the Mississippi River. D. in the western territory. ‎ ‎7.

D. printing their own newspaper. ‎ ‎8. Why was a law passed in 1830?‎ A. To allow the Cherokees to stay where they were. ‎ B. To send the army to help the Cherokees. ‎ C. To force the Cherokees to move westward. ‎ D. To forbid the Cherokees to read their newspaper. ‎ ‎9. How did the Cherokees leave their lands?‎ A. They went in carts. B. They went on horseback. ‎ C. They marched on foot. D. All of the above. ‎ ‎10. Why did Many Cherokees die on their way to their new home mainly?‎ A. Because they were not willing to go there. ‎ B. Because the government did not provide transportation. ‎ C. Because they did not have enough food and clothes. ‎ D. Because the journey was long and boring. ‎ C By day she looks like so many other older women out shopping, going slowly along on feet that move as though (好像) they hurt. She likes to ride the city's buses, often singing softly to herself as she rides. If you hear her, listen carefully, for the little old lady is the famous jazz singer Alberta Hunter. After over twenty years away from the stage（舞台), the eighty-three-year old singer is a star once again, and, she says, "I'm the happiest woman in this world."‎ ‎ At night Ms Hunter is on stage, wearing large round gold earrings, and singing the blues (sad songs) for the people who crowded into the theater.‎ ‎ Ms Hunter, who has loved music all her life, began her life's work when she was only eleven years old. She ran away from her home in Memphis, Tennessee, because she'd heard that singers in Chicago were making ten dollars a week. Even though she was young and small, she was able to get a job, and people began to recognize her great talent（天才）. She traveled all over the world and became famous not only as a singer, but also as a songwriter. ‎ ‎ During all those years, Ms Hunter was very close to her mother whom she brought from Memphis to live and travel with her. But when her mother died in 1954, there was a sudden and complete change in Alberta Hunter's life.‎ ‎ A few days after her mother's death, Ms Hunter attended school and became a nurse. She gave up singing forever. She thought.‎ ‎ For more than twenty-three years, she worked happily as a nurse at a New York hospital, where no one had an idea of her unusual past. Nor did they have any idea of her age. When she finally retired (退休), they believed she had reached age seventy. "I was eighty-two," Ms Hunter says with a smile. She became terribly bored and told some of her old friends. One of them suggested that she should go back to singing.‎ ‎ She did and she had been busy ever since.‎ ‎11.
