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.

Take good care of our teeth

When people take your picture, they say: “Say cheese! Smile!” So you do—you open your mouth and show your teeth. Healthy teeth help you to look your best. Do you know how to take care of them?

Brush your teeth

Long ago, when people got older, their teeth would rot away. Rotting teeth give people toothache. To avoid a toothache, people pulled the bad tooth out. Finally they learned that cleaning their teeth was important. But they didn’t have toothpaste then. They tried things such as chalk and lemon juice.

About 100 years ago, someone finally made a paste to clean teeth. Not long after that, someone invented the toothpaste tube. That way people could put the paste right onto the toothbrush.

Tooth brushing became popular during World War II. The US Army gave brushes and toothpaste to all soldiers. They learned to brush twice a day.

Today there are all kinds of toothpastes. Toothpastes come in different colors and flavors. When you choose your toothpaste, make sure it has fluoride. Fluoride makes your teeth strong.

Use floss

Sometimes your teeth need deeper cleaning than brushing. That is when floss is helpful. You pull it between your teeth, and it reaches places where your toothbrush can’t go. Floss can pull out food that is between your teeth.

Nine-year-old Regina, from Scotland, has always loved taking photos. When she was just three, she picked up her father, Kevin’s camera, and asked him how it worked. But rather than just being a curious (好奇的) child or a girl with an inability to leave anything alone, Regina is in fact a professional wedding (婚礼) photographer.

“Regina became interested in photography at a very young age,” her father, and fellow professional photographer, Kevin, tells Daily Mail Australia. “She first started asking questions about how to use my cameras. Regina has never been on a training course,” He goes on to explain that he has never forced his daughter to take photos like her dad does for his job. “I just answer questions when she asks them, and when she wants to do some shooting she can. Over the years she’s tagged along to quite a lot of shoots, so her skills just grew through experience.”

These skills reached the highest point on April 15 this year, when Regina shot over 400 photos at her first wedding. “She completely loved it,” Kevin said. “She is quite a quiet girl, but when she has that camera in her hands she is super-confident, and had no problem dealing with people or setting up shots throughout the day. Regina’s next wedding is on July 1 and several of my other brides have called to ask if she can come along as they love her work. I honestly don’t have words to describe how proud I feel,” he concluded.

“In the past, Regina said a few times that she just wants to keep it as a hobby,” said Kevin. “But over the past few days, upon seeing some of the response her work has got and some of the nice messages she’s received from people all over the world, she has said she might like doing this when she’s older.”

【1】What did Kevin do to help Regina?

A．He answered her questions about photography.

B．He sent her to a training course to learn photography.

C．He forced her to go to some wedding with him.

D．He asked her to take photos as much as possible.

【2】The underlined word “shooting” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.

A．射击

B．发芽

C．拍摄

D．投篮

【3】From Kevin’s words, how does Regina feel when she takes a camera?

A．She is quiet and feels a little nervous.

B．She is quite sure that she can do it well.

C．She feels tired and leaves the camera alone.

D．She really wants to go to a training course.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Kevin really wants her daughter to be a professional photographer.

B．Kevin doesn’t want to take Regina to the weddings any more.

C．Regina is really talented so she doesn’t need to practice too much.

D．Regina might be a professional photographer in the future.

25、   English is difficult to learn because it is so different 【1】 (介词) our mother tongue(母语). Also, we don’t have 【2】 (many) chance to speak English with foreigners or hear real English.

So the first important thing for us to do, I think, is to practise 【3】 (speak) English more both in and out of class. In class I listen to the teacher 【4】 (careful) and try my best to 【5】 (answer) the teacher’s questions in English. After class, I listen to the tapes and wonderful English songs. I often retell the texts in my own words. I always work hard at English and 【6】 (频度副词) give up.

Of course this is not enough. When I find something 【7】 (interest), I wrote it down 【8】 (介词) English. At first, I couldn’t write 【9】 (good), but with the help of my teacher, I have made great 【10】 (progress).
