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.

Inventions make our life easier and better than before. What are the best inventions of last year? Here are three amazing things in Time magazines list of the 25 best inventions of 2017.
Smart mug
It's hard to keep coffee or tea warm, especially in winter. But this smart mug from US company Ember Technologies can solve this problem. There is an app for the mug that allows people to set the mug to a certain temperature between 48"C and 62"C. Then, the mug keeps your coffee or tea at that temperature for about an hour, and even longer if you put the mug on a charging（充电）plate.
Social robot
Can robots talk to us like humans? Jibo, a robot made by US company Jibo Inc, can do this. With a big, round head and a big body, Jibo looks like a cartoon character. And its voice sounds like a 10-year-old boy. As soon as you say "Hey, Jibo, " it dances and turns to face you. When it talks to you, it moves its head and body to communicate with you. Its appearance, tone of voice and humor make you feel that you have a little friend Jibo is able to tell stories to children, take pictures just by hearing your order "Jibo, take a picture", and do hundreds of other jobs. Although its creators think that Jibo still has a lot to learn, it's available with a price of $ 899; a good price for a pretty smart and friendly robot!

turning, you can put them on any other flat surface, such as a ruler or even the nose of a pet dog. This toy is very popular among young people around the world. Some people say that it helps them calm down and relax. But it may not be a good thing to spend too much time playing with it.
