24、A 340-foot-long ramp(舷梯) allows kids with disabilities to get to the tree house.
Tree houses are wonderful places to play with friends. You can even just sit in them and dream. But for some kids, tree houses are only a dream. Many kids have never been in a tree house. Why? They have disabilities. They are unable to climb. Be Allen and Phil Trabulsy are good citizens. They wanted to make these kids’ dreams come true in 1998, they started Forever Young Tree Houses in Vermont. This group makes tree houses for kids with disabilities.
The tree houses have long ramps. Ramps help kids in wheelchairs get into the houses.
Kristen Messer, 17, visited a tree house for the first time. It was really great having a tree house that I could get into without any help,” Kristen says.
Chaz Freeman, a 19-year-old, uses a wheelchair. After he visited a tree house in New Hampshire, he said with a smile, “We get to experience what it is like to be a normal kid.”
Allen and Trabulsy’s tireless group is working hard around the U.S. to build tree houses.

26、What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.
The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.
But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.
【1】Many people in Western countries may think black cats are .
A. lovely animals B. a sign of bad luck
