1、语篇翻译 阅读下面的短文，将画线的句子译成英文或中文。

Many people find good friends but they fail to continue with their friendship, because they do not know their role as a friend. Let us see some important points that we should take care of if we wish to be a good friend for someone.

Try to understand your friend

1. It is always important to understand what your friend is worried about or what problem he is facing. Always try to understand the situation your friend is in and try to calm him. It is obvious that 2.如果人们有问题，他们可能不会把问题告诉家人或亲属，they will instead tell everything to their friends. Let your friend speak up. 3. Listen to him and be with him until your friend feels better.

Try to teach good things

If you are a true friend, you should never give your hungry friend a fish, instead, you should teach him how to fish. This will give your friend food for lifetime. 4. 一个好朋友应该永远不希望他的朋友依赖他人。

Let your friend be himself

5. The most important point is that your friend has his own life and you should not make trouble in his life. You have a right to tell your friend what is good and what is bad, but you do not have a right to make someone do what you wish.

Hope this will help you solve some of your problems you are facing in friendship.

26、   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 small objects for no reason at all.

According to Tony Buffington, a professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats’ strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild.

“Cats today still have many of the same instincts 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.”

In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing abilities allow them to climb to high places to better look at the environment. Even though they don’t have to hunt anymore in human houses, they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.

Cats’ hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.

However, cats 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 smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.

But 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 make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.

【1】What do cats usually do at home according to the passage?

A.Attack big things or animals B.Climb up some tall furniture

C.Fit themselves into big spaces D.Hunt for food in the house

【2】What does the underlined word “prey” probably mean?

A.The animals that like clean places B.The animals that are dangerous

C.The animals that only eat meat D.The animals that are hunted as food

【3】To better meet cats needs, what can owners do?

A.Put them back in the wild. B.Feed them only small food.

C.Move their furniture around. D.Allow them to watch videos.

【4】What’s the passage mainly about?

A.The food that cats are more likely to eat. B.The places where cats like to hide at home.

C.The common ways cats look after themselves. D.The reasons why cats have strange behavior.
