21、Your eyes can water for many reasons, including weather, allergies (过敏) or, more seriously, an infection. 【1】 They might help explain why it’s happening.

Watering due to weather

Changes in seasons typically can cause changes to the eye due to the amount of humidity in the air and allergens. As winter approaches and we increase heat at home, work and in the car, the air loses humidity, which causes the eye to become very dry. 【2】 But the type of tear produced doesn’t help lubricate (润滑) the eye and results in watering of these extra tears.

Pink eye

Pink eye is one of the most frustrating eye conditions. It commonly causes red and very watery eyes. 【3】 It is contagious (接触传染的) and can lake multiple weeks to resolve. Unfortunately, since pink eye is usually caused by a virus, no antibiotic eye drop can resolve the condition.

Watering and dry eye

【4】 Tears are made of three ingredients and, if there’s an imbalance in these, the tears won’t stay on the eye and will result in watering. Most commonly, it’s because the oil layer of the tears is lacking.

Eye scratches

A scratch on the cornea (角膜) is extremely painful and will cause redness, blurred vision and watering. The cornea is one of the most sensitive parts of the body and usually heals quickly with appropriate treatment. If you think your eye is scratched, it’s best to see your eye doctor as soon as possible. 【5】

A．Otherwise, it can easily become infected.

B．Most pink eye is caused by a virus, like the common cold.

C．So your eyes try to help increase the amount of tears produced.

D．This can cause redness and dryness of the eyelid itself and watering.

E．Even just walking through an area with allergens can cause eyes to water.

F．It seems not logical, but watering is the most bothersome sign of dry eye.

G．If your eyes water suddenly, watch the environmental factors you’re being exposed to.

22、Cat behaviors can vary enormously from one cat to another. They are certainly interesting creatures with many cute and sometimes strange habits that often have us wondering.【1】

Why do cats like high places? Wild cats were hunters, and frequenting high places meant they had somewhere safe to view their territory, watch for danger, and attack prey.【2】Our domesticated cats also enjoy watching the world from above, which provides them with a safe, calm place away from the activity in a house.

【3】Both wild and domestic cats are drawn to hiding and sleeping in contained areas. At home, it is often the humble cardboard box. Cats are predators, and a box offers a perfect place to hide while waiting for prey and also to pounce from, as only one entrance exists.

Why does my cat give “gifts”? Cats are well known for leaving us gifts that we may not want, such as lizards or mice.【4】Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.【5】Be sure to offer your cat a variety of toys to help them satisfy these natural hunting instincts.

A．Why do cats sit in boxes?

B．Cats are predators and will hunt if allowed outdoors.

C．Why do cats like playing with boxes?

D．This appears to be embedded into their DNA.

E．Don’t express anger, as they will not understand.

F．A cat’s natural behavior is to withdraw and hide in stress situation.

G．Veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren provides answers to your questions about cat behaviors.

23、Baths in Japan

In many western countries people do not bathe (沐浴) every day. Sometimes they bathe only once a week. Sometimes they bathe two or three times a week. They do not bathe often because the weather is cold or because hot water is expensive. They use electricity or wood to boil the water. Electricity and wood cost a lot of money. In cold countries people usually do not feel they are dirty if they do not have a bath.

In Japan people bathe very often. Most people have a bath every day. When the weather is hot they sometimes have two or three baths a day. They bathe in very hot water. Usually the water is almost boiling. They believe that these very hot baths also stop them from falling ill.

Each house has its own bathroom but there are also big bathhouses for everybody. They are found everywhere in Japan. In the bathhouse there is one part for men and one part for women. The bath is usually three meters wide, three meters long and about one meter deep: halfway down there is a narrow (狭窄的) seat that goes all the way around the bath. Many people use the bath but it is not dirty. Before a person gets into the big bath, they wash themselves first, and then get into the big bath. The person stays there for a short time. When they get out of the bath, they wash their body with soap and water. After the soap is all washed away, the person gets into the big bath again. Soap is not used in the big bath.

The water in the big bath is changed quite often. The water is also very hot. In some places people hit the water with sticks first. They do this to make the water cooler. Then the men get into the bath very slowly and carefully. When a man gets into a bath, he says. "Excuse me." He does this because most of the hot water comes directly out of the ground. In other places people boil the water with a big fire. In a small bath at home sometimes people light a fire under the bath. When the water is hot, people in the family take a bath one by one.

【1】Which of the following is not true about baths?

A. Taking baths can help people relax themselves.

24、The world’s only captive (圈养) brown giant panda, Qizai, has been taking more exercise in preparation for the upcoming breeding (繁育) season. He is encouraged to stand up by keepers who place food on the end of a stick held just out of his reach. Panda experts believe that strengthening the giant animal’s legs will improve his ability to breed successfully.

The world’s first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains. All photographs of wild brown pandas were taken in the area, which they were named after. The Qinling giant panda, first recognized in 2005, is a subspecies of giant panda. As well as its brown and white fur, it has a smaller and rounder skull and a shorter nose than the more familiar Sichuan giant panda.

Qizai, whose name means the seventh son, was found as two-month-old cub, weak and alone, by researchers in a nature reserve in the Qinling Mountains. For his safety, the researchers took him to the nearby Shanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Centre where he was given medical treatment and fed on milk from other pandas.

There are 1, 864 giant pandas in the wild, according to World Wildlife. They live mainly in bamboo forests high in the mountains of south-west China, mostly in Sichuan province, but they can also be found in Shanxi province, where Qizai is from. He was previously thought to be the only living brown panda in the world until a wild panda with the same colour pattern was spotted roaming in a nature reserve in Shanxi in March, 2018. Up to now spotting brown pandas in the wild has taken place no more than ten times, all of which were in the central Qinling Mountains.

【1】Why do keepers put food beyond Qizai’s reach?

A．To prepare him for the return to the wild.

B．To train him to amuse zoo visitors.

C．To help him exercise his legs.

A．He was first found in 2005.

B．He is a Qinling giant panda.

C．His seventh son is 2 months old.

D．He was the only living brown panda.

【3】What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?

A．The sighting of wild brown pandas is a rare happening.

B．The Qinling Mountains are home to most wild pandas.

C．The number of giant pandas is growing rapidly.

D．All giant pandas are of the same colour.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?
