It’s a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals, and vice versa. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behavior.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If Kitty is watching, she is likely to overeat as well.
What is your cat’s IQ?
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behavior of their owners.
“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory, ”Jane Brunt, the executive director of the CATalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, as evidenced by knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that’s been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are ”Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding( 搜刮 )the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match. ”So. if you felt guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work, now you can feel even worse：you are making your cat fat!
There’s no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to Yoga will benefit your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
There’s a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private 1esson in inner meditation. ”Brant said. Sure. But cats don’t have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their in-laws. They’re probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science, even though we assumed that cats were not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
24．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Green tea and Yoga can benefit cats.
B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.
15
C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.
D．Cats can copy humans’ schedule.
25．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Humans’ keeping searching the fridge.
B．Cats’ going to their owners for food.
C．Cats’ copying humans’ habit of looking for food.
D．Humans’ leaving cats home while working.
26．What can we learn from our cats?
A．To be able to copy. B.To remain calm.
C．To stay proud D. To look up to friends
27．The best title for the passage could be ________.
A．Your Cat Can Bring You Pleasure B．You Are Copying Your Cat
C．You Can Make Your Cat Social D．Your Cat Is Copying Your Habit
C
As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students. Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer. It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”
“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes
15
compulsory（必修的）and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
28．The underlined expression “taking stock in” in paragraph 4 probably means.
A. getting dependent on B. getting bored with
C. becoming crazy about D. getting curious about
29．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because ___________.
A. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
B. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D. computers have become a trend and fashion in China
30．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting?
A. Handwriting contains the writer’s emotions.
B. Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence.
C. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
D. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting
31．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
B. Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand.
C. To Type or to Handwrite.
D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
D
Ruby’s Roses
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor was that they sat inside and drank whiskey all day. About the only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes！” The rosebushes served as a fence between our house and theirs.
Jack and Ruby had a son whom we nicknamed Crazy Jack Junior. He was due to come
home from Vietnam. We heard he had been discharged because of a nervous breakdown. The day Crazy Jack Junior was scheduled to come home, we had a neighborhood softball game in our yard. Johnny was trying to catch a fly ball. He stripped over one of Ruby Rednose's rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, the Joneses' truck rolled into the driveway. Crazy Jack Junior sprang out and ran towards Johnny. “You little punk !” he screamed. “Look what you've done to our family's roses! You've always been trouble. I'm going to fetch my gun and shoot you！”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls,
15
I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn't like the Joneses,” we protested. “They're mean to us. Besides, Crazy Jack Junior might shoot us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help mend the rose fence. While Mom examined the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn't her nose that was red, it was her eyes.
Ruby walked over to my mother. The two women stood looking at each other through the new gap in the rose fence. We girls held our breath, waiting to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said.
Suddenly my mother stepped forwards and hugged Ruby. “I'm glad your son came back home,” she said gently. “The girls will replace them if we can't fix them. In return for all the bother, they'll help you weed the roses this summer.” Ruby smiled at my mother through her tears. “I know we're particular about these roses ,” she said, “but they're very special to us. When my mother came from England, she brought one tiny part of her favorite rosebush. That was her reminder of home.”
She paused a minute, then said sadly, “My mother had a magic touch with flowers. Over the years that one plant multiplied into all these bushes. Since she died, I've tried to keep them up, but I just don't have her magic touch.”
Her voice was all choked up. “Mom died while Jack Junior was in Vietnam. He just found out about her death today. When he saw her rose bushes damaged, it was the last straw.” By now I felt really bad for the Jones—what a sorrowful homecoming! Soon both women were down on their knees talking and examining the damaged bushes together.
My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer long and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friends hip formed between the families that would include countless birthdays, graduations and weddings—including Jack Junior's. The rose fence wasn't a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge.
32．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Mr．and Mrs．Joneses were sociable and got on well with their neighbors.
B．A couple of unfortunate events happened to the Jones' over the years.
C．Crazy Jack Junior was seriously wounded in the Vietnamese war.
D．Ruby and the author's mother glared at each other through the new gap.
33．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 implies that ________．
A．Ruby's mother had the greatest variety of flowers
15
B．Ruby's mother was very good at raising flowers
C．Ruby's mother devoted all her life to growing flowers
D．Ruby's mother went to see and touch her flowers every day
34．What's the right order of the events related to Ruby's roses?
a．The roses grew into bushes and served as a fence.
b．The author's mother turned the rose bushes into a bridge.
c．Crazy Jack Junior threatened to kill Johnny.
d．Ruby's mother brought one rose from England.
e．Johnny fell while playing and damaged the roses.
A．b, d, e, c, a B．d, e, a, c, b C．d, a, e, c, b D．b, d, a, e, c
35．Which of the following best describes the author's mother?
A．Merciful, generous and flexible．
B．Strict, caring and considerate.
