Are you a dog person or a cat person?

With so many photos and videos of cats and dogs doing cute things online, it’s easier than ever to answer which of these furry friends you like more. There are many reasons why people prefer one type of pet over the other. So, have you ever wondered what your preference for cats or dogs says about you?

In fact, a 2010 study done by Sam Gosling, a psychologist at the University of Texas, US, and his graduate student Carson Sandy found that dog people are more extroverted (外向的), agreeable and conscientious (认真的) than cat people.

“Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes they will give up the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog magazine.

Just on the basis of dogs’ nature being more sociable than cats’, you may expect that the personalities of dog people also reflect higher sociability. And Gosling’s study found that dog people are generally about 15 percent more extroverted and 13 percent more agreeable, both of which are associated with social orientation (倾向).

In addition, dog people are 11 percent more conscientious than cat people. “Conscientiousness” is a tendency to show self-discipline, to complete tasks and aim for achievement. This trait also shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous (一时冲动的) behavior.

In comparison, cat people are about 12 percent more anxious, but they are also 11 percent more “open” than dog people, due to a general appreciation for art, emotion, imagination, curiosity, adventure, unusual ideas and variety of experience. And people high on openness are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs.

Despite so many differences, there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common. “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing and generally look on the better side of life,” noted Mother Nature Network.

1.What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Differences between dogs and cats in their personality traits.

B. Factors that influence people’s preference for dogs or cats.

C. How raising a pet helps shape your personality.

D. What your preference for dogs or cats tells about you.

2.The underlined phrase “engage in” in the fourth paragraph probably means ______.

A. get involved in

B. benefit from

C. take little interest in

D. perform well in

3.According to the study done by Sam Gosling, dog owners tend to ______ than cat owners.

A. be more imaginative and creative

B. live a more organized life

C. love to get close to nature more

D. be more easygoing and adventurous

4.According to the article, both dog people and cat people ______.

A. are generally self-disciplined

B. are usually positive and care about nature

C. are likely to hold unconventional beliefs

D. like to wear animal-print clothing

Many people think that romance will disappear little by little as couples grow older, but a heartbreaking video of an elderly man singing to his dying wife shows that for some, love lasts a life time.

The video was uploaded to Facebook by the pair's granddaughter Erin Solari. In the video 92-year-old Howard is singing to his dying wife, 93-year-old Laura, with the 1940s love song "You'll Never Know".

"I love you.., always love," Laura, who is seriously ill, tells her husband in the video--before asking him to "take good care of yourself" when she's gone.

Howard then continues to sing to his wife: "You' 11 never know just how much I miss you. You'll never know just how much I care. You'll never know just how much I love you." "Isn't your grandfather lovely?" Laura says to her granddaughter, who is filming the moving moment on her phone in the hospital room.

Erin originally posted the video to her Facebook page on September 12, 2015, and it has since earned more than 3.6 million views. On her Facebook, Erin wrote down details of her grandparents' inspiring relationship. She said Howard chose to sing "You' 11 Never Know" to his wife because "the song comforted her when he went away to fight in World War II." "Their love story has moved hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world," said Erin.

1. Where did Erin Solari record the video?

A. In Laura' s house.

B. At her home.

C. At the hospital

D. On the way to the hospital.

2.Why did Howard sing "You' 11 Never Know" when Laura was dying?

A. To ask for her forgiveness.

B. To let her feel less painful.

C. To remind her of the past.

D. To give her some comfort.

3.What result does the video make?

A. It moves a lot of people.

B. Solari receives many letters.

C. It helps Solari earn some money.

D. It will be filmed into a movie.

Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty, when all of those endless lists, long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-minute excitement of flying wrapping paper. 1. The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.

1. Know the person

The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows that you really know the person well, and you really care about him. 2.

2. Donate in their name

3. Research suggests that happier people give more to others, and that giving more makes people happier. Moreover, charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection. So, try giving to the less fortunate in someone's name this holiday season.

3. Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs

4. A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love, and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.

Family heirlooms(传家宝) may be another good gift option. A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing — money — to the generations, the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.

4. Provide chances for participation

If there's a golden rule of gifts, though, it's this: 5. People who receive experiential gifts, such as concert tickets or a zoo membership, feel more connected to the gift giver than people who received material gifts.

A. Give experiences rather than objects.

B. But it doesn't have to be that way.

C. Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.

D. That is always beyond their expectation.

E. That means catering to another’s pleasure.

F. Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift to.

G. The new and store-bought is not always best.

--- Did you see a man in black pass by just now? --- No, sir. I ____ a newspaper.

A. read B. was reading C. would read D. am reading
