理解文章含义
有些同学在看英语阅读文章时，只理解其表面的意思，对于作者暗含在文章中的东西没有挖掘出来，这就造成做题时出错率高。实际上，英语文章和汉语文章是相似的，作者有许多东西不直接写出，而是留给读者自己去思考，比如作者的观点、态度以及一些事实。那么我们该怎样去判断文章的含义呢？这需要同学们在文章的字里行间寻找，从作者的每句话中去判断。同时，同学们应学会将文章中已说明的事情和暗含的内容建立联系，以获取更多的信息，能够明白作者的写作意图。掌握了这一技巧，不仅有助于我们理解文章的内容、做好文章的有关测试题，更有助于我们学会欣赏文章。

Passage C
According to a 1994 survey （the most recent） by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention （CDC） in Atlanta， some 4.7 million people were bitten by dogs. About 8，000，000 required medical treatment. Many bites are to children， and most are from family pets or family dogs， not strays① （迷路家畜）.
Many bites are treated at home or in a doctors office， and are not reported to authorities. Meanwhile， there is no ongoing national system for counting dog bites. In some locals bites are reported to the police， in others to the animalcontrol folks or the health department. Some counties dont collect data at all.
Whatever the exact number is， veterinary （兽医），medical and insurance experts agree： dog bites are on the rise②. One reason may be that more people are getting larger， more powerful dogs than in the past. The CDC considers dog bites a serious public health problem for children. A Pennsylvania study found that 45 percent of children had been bitten. And not only children are at risk. Dog bites are no joke for letter carriers and delivery people.
Dog attacks account for a whopping onethird of all liability claims under renters or homeowners insurance policies. The Insurance Information Institute says that dogbiterelated medical treatment costs 1 billion a year. Homeowner liability claims paid about 250 million of that in 1996.
