26、Ask any cat person to describe their cat friend, and they’ll likely affectionately say “jerkface”（小讨厌）. Cat people also know, however, that each little jerkface is its very own peculiar self.
According to a new research, each cat’s personality and behavior can be defined using a combination of just seven traits. The research was undertaken by way of a 138-question survey, posted on animal welfare website Petsofi, and filled out by the cats’ owners. This is because cats can behave very differently in a laboratory environment than the way they behave at home, so observing them in an experiment could produce inaccurate results.
The questionnaire asked people to enter, among other things, their cat’s sex, age, breed, coat color, and main activity. The humans were also asked to fill out the questionnaire a second time after a break had passed. This allowed the researchers to measure the accuracy of the reports by comparing the two surveys. The final sample consisted of 4,316 cats. From these, the researchers were able to narrow cat traits down to five personality traits and two behavioral traits:
Activity/playfulness
Fearfulness
Aggression（侵犯）towards humans
Sociability towards humans
Sociability towards cats
Litterbox issues（such as refusing to use the litterbox, or using it poorly）
Excessive grooming（臭美型）
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the results also revealed that different breeds skew towards（偏向）different personality traits. “The most fearful breed was the Russian Blue, while the Abyssinian was the least fearful,” says veterinary scientist Hannes Lohi of the University of Helsinki. “The Bengal was the most active breed, while the Persian and Exotic were the most passive. The breeds exhibiting the most excessive grooming were the Siamese and Balinese, while the Turkish Van breed scored considerably higher in aggression towards humans and lower in sociability towards cats.”
【1】In which way could the research be undertaken?
A．By voting on an animal welfare website.
B．By filling out a form of different cat traits.
C．By finishing a survey about cats twice.
D．By answering the questionnaire in public.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．The whole research is an experiment on an animal welfare website Petsofi.
B．Cats may present quite different action without their owners aside.
C．The survey in the research contained 138 questions about how to provide welfare.
D．A laboratory environment could generate better results than in real life.
【3】The following traits are mentioned in examples EXCEPTA
A．Sociability towards humans and Sociability towards cats.
B．Aggression towards humans and Excessive grooming.
C．Activity/Playfulness and Fearfulness.
D．Fearfulness and Aggression towards humans.
【4】What do we know about cats according to the passage?
A．Humans dislike cats so that they affectionately call them “jerkface”.
B．There are seven personality traits of them in all among 4,316 samples.
C．The questionnaire asked people to describe the interaction between cats and them.
D．The traits of cats are defined through behavior and individuality.
27、A wonderful way to connect with your loved ones is by capturing and keeping their memories. Here are tips on how to make it a wonderful experience for everyone involved:
【1】It’s often helpful to think of events in the past. Try questions like “What did you do for fun when you were little?” or “What was your favorite job?” Work up to deeper questions like “What are you most grateful for?”or “How would you like to be remembered?”
Listen patiently. Your family member might struggle for words. Keep listening for as long as they want to share.【2】 If they’re eager to talk, ask for more details. If there’s something they can’t remember or don’t want to get into, move on.
Use photos, music, objects and smell. Of all the senses, smell has the most direct connection to the parts of the brain.【3】Smell can unlock rich memories even when words and actions fail. Flowers, cookies baking...any smell that is important to your loved one can work.
Create a memory box. The sense of touch brings memories.What items hold special meaning for your family member? There are some ideas, such as a medal, trip souvenirs (纪念品), gardening tools, seashells and jewelry.【4】
Mix memory gathering into daily activities. At mealtime, talk about favorite recipes and the stories that go with them.【5】Something on TV might trigger (激发) a memory.
A．Ask open-ended questions.
B．Be ready to keep a video camera.
C．Think of memories at family gatherings.
D．Let their reactions(反应) guide you.
E．Collect the items in one place so they’re easy to pull out when needed.
F．Memories are stored just there.
G．Ask about pictures while you’re cleaning.

Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating(酝酿) the problem in your subconscious(潜意识), yet can’t account for why it occurs.
When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesn’t quit working. Your thoughts keep making associations(联想,联系). This is why you’ve experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you’ve forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when you are relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.
You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. Now let go of the problem. Don’t work on it. Forget it. Do something else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconsciousness. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.
An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign. Bert, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind.
Secret Expert,
I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of television shows. I’m interested in some kind of campaign that will capture the audience’s attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need your idea about a fresh approach to advertising.
Thanks, Bert
Bert mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on “eggs”. Somehow an association between “foods”, “need” and “fresh approach” inspired the thought of using “fresh eggs to advertise.” He arranged to put the ad for the television shows on eggs — some thirty million.
The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer(转移,传递,转送) them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. It’s unlike any other ad medium in the world, because you’re looking at it while you are using it.
【1】You remember names though you are not thinking about them because your subconscious mind ________.
A. stops working B. is still working
C. is full of names D. improves your memory
【2】During the incubation stage, your focused awareness ________.
A. doesn’t work
B. controls your thoughts
C. waits for an answer
D. leads to you being unconscious
【3】Which of the following was included in Bert’s letter to his subconscious mind?
A. What he wanted it to do.
B. When he would need its help.
C. What product could be advertised.
D. How the solution could be found.
【4】In what way did the ad put on eggs help?
A. It greatly increased the sales of eggs.
B. It helped Bert to get a brainstorm.
C. It made sure that consumers could get fresh eggs.
D. It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.
29、Blake Mycoskie set up five businesses, but later he sold them all at a profit. Feeling a bit burned out from work, Mycoskie decided to give it a break for a while and headed down to Argentina for some rest. But rest isn't really part of a businessman's make-up. It's in their nature to keep having good business ideas.
On a visit to a village outside Buenos Aires, he was shocked to see that many children didn’t have any shoes or, if they did，the shoes were badly worn. Since shoes—particularly the local farmers，canvas(帆布的)shoes—can be bought cheaply in Argentina, Mycoskie5s first instinct(本能) was to set up a charity to donate shoes to the children. But after giving it some thought, he realized that this was not a model that would work. One pair of shoes per child would not make that much difference，because they wear out(磨损). And if he asked people to donate repeatedly —to provide new shoes for the same child every six months—the donors，sympathy(同情)for the cause might also wear out pretty quickly.
Instead he came up with the idea of 'TOMS: one-for-one shoes'. He would take the canvas shoe to America, manufacture it and sell it as a high end fashion item at around $ 50 a pair. For each pair he sold he would donate one pair to shoeless village children. That way he could guarantee a continual supply.
Several years on，the business is very successful, supplying shoes not only to children in Argentina but also other parts of the world. But is the one-for-one model one that can be repeated with other products? Mycoskie is doubtful. TOMS is a for-profit business, but does not yet make a profit. He says one-for-one is not an offer that you can just add to your existing business model; you have to build it in from the beginning.
Some would also argue that the charity aspect is just a marketing tool，but in the end does that matter? TOMS is making a real difference to poor children all over the world and Mycoskie is enjoying being a businessman more than ever.
【1】Why did Blake Mycoskie go to Argentina?
A．To go for relaxation.
B．To seek business cooperation.
C．To look for new business ideas.
D．To learn to make canvas shoes.
【2】Why didn’t Blake Mycoskie set up a charity?
A．He wasn't interested in running a charity.
B．He had no real experience of running a charity.
C．A charity would make no difference to the children.
D．A charity could not donate shoes to the children continually.
【3】Why did Blake Mycoskie set up TOMS?
A．To help poor children.
B．To support a charity.
C．To win national fame.
D．To expand his business.
【4】What do we know about TOMS?
A．It has made a profit.
B．It only supplies shoes to children in Argentina.
C．It gives Mycoskie a sense of achievement.
D．It can be a model for other kinds of products
