Meet big brother Blue and his sisters Meadow and Little Willow,a family of three blind cats that just got adopted by the family Catherine Magno.

Their story starts just before the Christmas of 2014 when the kittens（小猫）were found in an abandoned house in Dubai.By then they had already lost their sight due to a cat flu that was left untreated by their previous（先前的） owner.After that they came to an animal home.At some point,brother Blue almost got adopted by the previous owner's neighbor,but the poor confused cat couldn’t bear living without his sisters and cried all night while searching for them.Soon they were all united in the animal home until the important night of 19 February 2015,when Catherine took them under her wing.

"I had zero experience having adopted my first ever rescue kitten just a couple of months ago,"Catherine said. "But their story touched my heart so much that I couldn't bear the thought of them being put in a cage for a very long time or even worse."

Catherine was worried about the special needs of her new pet friends:“My worry was that it's going to not only be challenging but also require a lot of adjustments on my part,”but apparently it wasn't that much different.“The only adjustment early on was keeping everything where it was but they are soon adaptive（适应的）.”And as she wonderfully put it:“Blind pets see through their hearts."

1.What caused the three cats to be blind according to the passage?

A. Because of a certain kind of disease.

B. Because of a serious car accident.

C. Because of some bad persons hurting them.

D. The passage didn't mention it.

2.What does the underlined word " them" mean in Paragraph 2?

A. The owner and his neighbor.

B. Meadow and Little Willow.

C. Catherine Magno and her family.

D. All the other blind pets in the animal home.

3.What kind of person is Catherine?

A new study suggests that washing dishes by hand is healthier than using a dishwasher.

Nobody likes doing the dishes, but it turns out that doing this task might pay off in an unexpected way. According to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics, washing dishes by hand instead of using a dishwasher might prevent the development of allergies (过敏).

Researchers in Sweden surveyed the parents of 1,029 children aged 7 and 8. They discovered that children whose families hand-washed the dishes instead of using a machine were less likely to have allergies.

Earlier research has shown that dishes washed by machine are cleaner than those washed by hand. So why would kids who eat with slightly dirtier plates be better when it comes to preventing allergies? One explanation is based on a theory known as the “hygiene hypothesis,” which says the reason why kids develop allergies is that their environment is actually too clean. Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting germs like viruses and bacteria. But when you have allergies, it overreacts and tries to fight ordinary things like pollen(花粉) or certain foods.

Being exposed to germs, especially early in life is good training for the immune system, says the lead author of the study, Dr. Bill Hesselmar of Queen Silvia Hospital in Sweden. “You stimulate the immune system in various ways and it becomes tolerant.”

This study shows that while using the dishwasher might be easier, the old-fashioned method of cleaning up could be better for your health.

1.What is the benefit of washing dishes by hand?

D. Washing dishes by hand might reduce the chance of developing allergies

2.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. bacteria B. germs

C. the immune system D. allergy

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Using a dishwasher can prevent us from having allergies.

B. Exposure to germs early in life may improve kids’ immune system.

C. Our immune system can only fight bacteria and viruses.

D. Children should use dirty plates when they have meals.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The clean environment accounts for kids’ developing allergies.

B. Whether parents should wash dishes by hand or use a dishwasher.

C. Washing dishes by hand may prevent kids from getting allergies.

D. What “hygiene hypothesis” is and how our immune system works.
