21、Anyone who’s met a cat knows that cats are extremely difficult to keep track of. Once one of my cats disappeared somewhere in the house, hiding while I fruitlessly tore the place apart with the fear that it might have got outside. After some period of time, he just... reappeared. We’ll never beat a cat in a hide-and-seek game, because cats have such sensitive ears that enable them to track their owners’ whereabouts (所在之处).
That has been proved by a new study led by Saho Takagi, a doctoral student at Kyoto University. They did an experiment at a cat cafe with home setting to observe how cats reacted to their owners’ voices — without visual signals — when hearing their owners saying their names from speakers (扬声器). The researchers placed the speakers apart from each other, out of the cats’ sight, to see how the cats would respond to the sounds, especially if the owner’s voice appeared to “transport” from one location to another. The cats’ behaviors, especially their ear and head movements, would be carefully observed.
The researchers found that the cats were very surprised when their owners seemed to transport from one corner of the café to another. The results showed that cats have clear understanding of the relationship between space and sound, meaning they can mentally picture where others are through sound signals: “It is generally believed that cats are not as interested in their owners as dogs are, but it turns out that they just react differently. When hearing their owners’ voice, they are mentally picturing the invisible presence of their owners. This is an ability that is the basis of creativity and imagination,” Takagi said. “Cats have an unbelievable mind.”
“Cats seem to spend most of their time sleeping, but they may be thinking about many things, not just sleeping,” Takagi added. Our furry friends hear more — and think more — than we give them credit for. But whether they choose to listen to you or not is a different story.

23、As the Camp Fire continued, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited there.
Gaylord, the Anatolian shepherd mix’s owner, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, when the fire began to spread, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety, according to California-based animal rescue organization Paw Print Rescue.
Sullivan, a volunteer with the organization, had already helped locate Madison’s brother Miguel in a different city. But Madison was even more difficult to find. Sullivan spotted Madison a few times in a canyon (峡谷), apparently guarding his land, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up, according to a Facebook post by Sullivan. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Gaylord near the home “to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return,” Sullivan wrote.
When the evacuation (疏散) order was lifted last week and Gaylord went back to her home—which had been ruined by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home. “Well, I’m so happy to report that Gaylord was allowed to return to her home today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and never gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post. “I’m so happy I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire!” she added.
Soon afterward, Madison was reunited with Miguel for the first time since the fire broke out. An emotional Gaylord said in an interview with the network that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. She also expressed how grateful she was to Sullivan. Gaylord said fighting through tears, “You could never ask for better animals. He is the best dog.”

24、During an exhibition show the skills of disabled people, an armless man used his mouth and feet to repair a watch. He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show, which was held in Beijing last Saturday. Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch.You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill.
It was reported that 28-year-old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17. He has repaired more than 10,000 watches in the past 11years.
What strong self-confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill! What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life! And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life! Such confidence, optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays. Wang has set a good example for young people.
But today's youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals. That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere. One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society. People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits. While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains, the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses.
This pleasure-seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media. The media devote too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars, which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public, especially young people.
Ours is a developing country. Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development. We cannot afford to lose time. We need to make our economy more powerful. To meet this need, all of us should keep our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties.
【1】Wang Jianghai’s story in the first two paragraphs ________.
A.serves as a description of the trend today
B.serves as an introduction to the discussion
C.shows a disagreement of views
D.show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers
【2】Which of the following is the reason for young people’s increasing interest in entertainment?
A.Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses.
B.Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completely
C.Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all.
D.Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media.
【3】The underlined word “hedonism” (paragraph 4) means “________”.
A.a material
B.spiritual gains
C.thinking pleasure is the most important
D.amusement
