Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People who are thinking about getting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is likely that the two pets will get along smoothly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略，好斗) and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is surprising that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to become smarter. They can learn to read each other’s body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was expected. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.

The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets — to people who don’t get along well, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.

A. have common interests

B. have appeared to become smarter.

C. have a common body language

D. are not so smart as was expected

4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A. We should learn to get along well with others

B.We should know more about animals.

C. We should live in peace with animals.

The younger generation (一代人), according to a new survey, can hardly remember the last time of climbing trees or flying kites, as they are kept indoors and short of outdoor experiences.

The survey of 1,000 people found that the current (现在的) generation of 15- to 34-year-olds have fewer memories (记忆) of 12 key countryside activities such as swimming in rivers or going fishing.

The research found that three quarters of the older generation remembered playing games or climbing trees, compared with two thirds of younger adults.

The 55+ generation also had more memories of collecting stones, visiting a farm or pond dipping. Altogether, two thirds of older people had more memories of playing outdoors compared to just over half of the younger generation.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) carried out the study at the start of the school term to stress the growing worry that children are not getting outdoors enough.

The study has found that 82 per cent of people think that schools should provide more outdoor education and most believe nature is still important to children today.

Dr. Mike Clarke, head of the RSPB, said children who are usually kept indoors are easier to get "nature deficit disorder". He said public money should be used to take children on day trips to nature and to build wildlife gardens, especially in poor areas.

"To many people, it would seem clear and unquestionable that an important part of childhood is exploring the world around you. Unfortunately, this is far from the fact and the children are having less time and fewer chances to get close to nature," he said.

"The RSPB has more than a 40-year history in getting children outdoors and is still continuing to play our role. We now need the government and the schools to realize that they should play the most important role in making it possible for all the children to experience, enjoy and benefit (受益) from the outdoor environment."

1.Compared with the current generation, the older generation had ________.

A. more homework and exercises when they were children

B. more memories of wonderful life in the countryside

C. fewer memories of taking part in outdoor activities

D. fewer chances of going on a visit to the big cities

2.The RSPB carried out the study in order to tell people to ________.

A. spend more time with their kids

B. care more about the kids' growth

C. let their kids get more outdoor activities

D. order the schools to provide outdoor education

3.According to the passage, "nature deficit disorder" often happens to ________.

A. children who often stay indoors

B. children who often go outdoors

C. all the younger generation

D. all the older generation

4.We can learn from Dr. Clarke's words in the last paragraph that ________.

A. all the children can’t get close to nature and aren’t healthy any longer

B. outdoor activities are the most important for the current generation

C. the RSPB is more important than the government and schools in getting kids outdoors

D. the RSPB plays an important role in getting kids outdoors all the time

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world?

That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time.

To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than schedules. In these societies, people don't try to control time, but to experience it. Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time — like money — slips all too easily through our fingers. And time — like the weather — is very hard to predict. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

1.What’s the main topic of this passage?

A. What is time? B. Time among Americans.

C. Make good use of time. D. How to control time?

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “conserve”?

A. protect B. develop

C. produce D. assist

3.The sentence "Americans seem tied to the clock" in paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A. Americans often carry a clock with them.

B. Americans can take control over time.

C. Americans often make full use of time.

D. Americans can not predict the time.

4.We can safely draw a conclusion from this passage that _________.

A. Americans have more time than others

B. by using pocket planners, people can have more time

C. for informal meeting, Americans often arrive 30 minutes earlier

D. Americans often attend seminars, because they want to use time better

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?

This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.

For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

1.According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.

B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.

C. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

D. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.

2.According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?

A. The business B. The advertiser

C. The consumer D. The employee

3.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform B. To educate

C. To instruct D. To persuade
