It's that time of the year--graduation. The end of school year is nearly in sight, and it's an especially big deal if you're finishing high school or college.

Her father is a math professor while her mother is a part-time history teacher in a high school.

The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events.

These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡） mixed with a little helium gas （氦气） ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.

Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.

Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.

1.Flogos are mainly used to _____.

A. advertise in the sky B. make funny bubbles

C. improve weather conditions D. see colorful clouds

2.Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?

A. Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky.

D. Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves.

3.From the passage, we can infer that Flogos _____.

A. can fly for hours in the sky all day B. can have different colors at present

C. may be influenced by the weather D. may be the cheapest way of advertising

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Machines -- Used for Flogos! B. Flogos -- Logos that fly!

C. Advertising -- Made of Fruits! D. Clouds -- Like Mickey Mouse!

According to a new study, cats may be just as smart as dogs. Both cats and dogs may have episodic memory（情景记忆）, similar to that of human beings.

The discovery shows that cats can recall memories of positive experiences like eating a delicious snack. The study was a test of episodic memory. Episodic memory means memory of past experiences that happened at a special time and place.

In the test, cats were led to four open bowls of food. They were allowed to eat from two of them. After fifteen minutes, empty bowls took the place of the old ones. Then the same cats returned to look for food again. They spent more time searching for the old bowls.

It seemed that the cats were able to remember the information of “what” and “where” about the bowls. This discovery suggests that they may have episodic memory. However, it’s still not clear whether cats can truly experience past memories in the same way as human beings do. “It’s difficult to know whether the cats can subjectively（主观地）remember the experience,” Nick Diamond, a researcher at the University of Toronto, explained.

Still, the test plays an important role in the development of memory research in animals. “It opens the door to new studies. How long can cats’ memories last? We may do some research on this in the future,” Professor Laurie Santos from Yale University told BBC News.

The road to new discoveries is long and difficult. Though there are lots of problems to be solved and discussed along the way, such studies do lead us a step closer to the final success.

1._______ may have episodic memory.

A. Dogs B. Pandas C. Elephants D. Sheep

2.It seems that cats can recall memories of their _____ experiences.

A. happy B. sad C. scary D. unusual

3.What can we learn from the study?

A. Cats can subjectively remember past experiences.

B. The cats spent more time searching for empty bowls.

C. Cats are smarter than dogs and as smart as humans

D. Cats may have episodic memory similar to that of humans.

4.According to the fifth paragraph, scientists may do some research on ____ in the future.

A. whether dogs can recall memories like cats

B. why cats only remember good experiences

C. how long cats’ memories can last

D. how humans recall past memories

5.What does the writer think of the study?

A. It has already solved many problems.

B. It helps memory research in animals.

C. It has nothing to do with other studies.

D. It is a waste of money and time.
