23、
If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you'll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand—they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack(攻击) small objects for no reason at all.
Now scientists have managed to work out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats' strange behavior(行为)largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. "Cats today still have many of the same natural abilities that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years." he said in a TED Talk. "To them, our homes are their jungles(丛林)."
Cats' bodies and great balancing(平衡)abilities allow them to climb to high places to better look at the environment. Even though they don't have to hunt(猎食)any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of observing the living room from, for example, the top of the fridge.
Cats' hunting abilities also make them attack small things like keys and USB drives.
In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get for food, and most of the animals they kill are small. However, a cat can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines—they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean box: a dirty one with an unpleasant smell could easily show enemies where they are.
Knowing how cats' minds work is not only useful for better understanding them, it may also help cats' owners to better meet cats' needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use "food puzzles" to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.
【1】According to the passage, Tony Buffington agrees that ________.
A.cats' strange behavior is hard for people to understand
B.cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans' homes
C.cats' natural abilities are still helpful to make them get food today
D.cats act strangely mainly because of their natural abilities in the wild
【2】The word "prey" in Paragraph 4 probably means"________".
A.an animal that lives in the jungles
B.an animal that likes keeping itself clean
C.an animal that likes playing hiding games with people
D.an animal that becomes others' food after being hunted
【3】According to the writer, cats' owners can better meet cats' needs by ________.
A.creating hunting games at home B.giving them delicious food
C.making them go back to the wild D.putting them in the furniture
【4】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To describe cats' past wild experience to readers.
B.To tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats.
C.To explain the reasons behind cats' strange behavior.
D.To compare cats' behavior in human homes with that in the wild.
24、I am my mother's third girl. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then, he gave her some advice, “Don't treat her any differently from the other girls.” And she did!
There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, “Mom, I can't peel potatoes. I only have one hand.” “You get back to peel those potatoes, and don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes with my good hand and my other arm.“Jenny, if you try hard enough,” she said, “you can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(攀爬架). When it was my turn, I said “no”. Some kids laughed. I went home crying.
The next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground. “Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She praised me when I made progress. I'll never forget when I was crossing the bars, the kids were standing there with their mouths open.
