   There is little doubt that house cats first developed naturally from ancient wild cats. The closest relative is the African wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa. .

   Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000—7,000 years ago. From Egypt,cats started to move around the world. This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain (谷物) in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However,cats don't like to be told what to do!Now,scientists believe that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally,some of the cats began to grow comfortable around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other,then they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago,cats started to live with people.

   Soon cats were in Greece,then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt,they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred (繁殖) with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.

   Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They will often get food at night as well. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly,but be careful!If a cat feels it is in danger,it will fight back—just like a wild cat!

   Is it fair for restaurants to ban (禁止) little eaters? In Monronroeville,a local restaurant,McDain^s,recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman,its manager,says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people,however,say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public,we caught several local people talking about it.

   YES:

   There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers.

                                            —Kate Barker

   Kids always cause a mess,but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids' behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe,they aren’t at the center of everyone else's.

                                          —Mike Vuick

   Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner,but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That's why sometimes parents don't like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids,noise.

                                          —Dale Levitsky

   NO:

   Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned,many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids,many families would probably still not eat there.

                                            —Nicholas Song

   Restaurant owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that's not true. Most children's eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners,banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all,kids are people,too. 

                                           —Elliott Hall

1. The restaurant in Monronroeville refuses to eat there.

   A. kids   B. pets   C. men D women

2. Dale Levitsky thinks parents sometimes don't like eating at home because.

   A. they are too busy   B. they dislike doing the dishs

   C. kids are too noisy   D. restaurant food is more delicious 

3. Who thinks it is wrong to ban kids?

   A. Alice Roseman   B. KateBarker. C. MikeVuick. D. Nicholas Song.

4. Which of the following opinions is mentioned in the passage?

   A. Children waste too much food. B. Not all kids have bad behaviors.

   C. Boys make more noise than girls. D. Restaurants needn't help parents.
