Cats have a pair of vomeronasal organs(犁鼻器) on the roof of the mouth. When the cat wants to sniff， she will breathe the air in through her mouth. At this moment， she will often squint(斜视) her eyes and maybe even flatten(使…平坦) her ears. This makes her look like she is making faces. The vomeronasal organs will then analyze(分析)the smell---almost as if the cat is tasting the smell.

When you come home from outside the house， your cat can smell what you had for lunch and for a mid-afternoon snack. She can smell the people you shook hands with and your neighbour you stopped to talk to and hug. She can smell the grass brought under your shoes as you took a shortcut across the lawn. Your cat’s sense of smell is so good that she can smell difference between a gallon of water with a teaspoon of salt in it and plain water. In comparison， we think of salt as completely tasteless.

Cats have scent glands(臭腺) on each side of the forehead， on the chin， the lips and next to the tail. When your cat rubs up against your hand， your leg， the sofa， and your bed， she is leaving her scent in those things. She will then use her sense of smell to recognize “her” things， people and even other pets in the home.

If you want to have fun with your cat’s sense of smell， take some small bits of different things， such as a bit of chicken， some flowers and some fish. Place each different scent under a piece of paper towel(so your cat cannot see any of them) and encourage your cat to investigate and find what kind of food she likes to eat best.

A. sense of touch B. scent glands

A. She puts her scent on it.

B. She shows respect to you.

C. She asks you to play with her.

D. She smells where you were just now.

【4】What does the word “investigate” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Smell. B. See. C. Look. D. Send.

A. cats are one of our best friends

This year marks the 20th anniversary of International Year of the Family， which offers us a window to look into families in the E 【2】 and West.

Usually， we think families are just parents and children. But the structure are different in different cultures.

In many A 【3】 countries， extended families (大家庭) are common. In some big cities， families usually have three generations (一代人) living in the same house. When parents are busy with work， grandparents help to do housework and take care of the children.

While in most W 【4】 countries， many people prefer nuclear families (核心家庭)： families that have only parents and children. During the daytime， working parents send their children to their grandparents’ home or a daycare center. And after work， they pick the children back up and go home. Some families are even DINK (double income， no kids). According to a 2010 Pew Research report， one in five American c 【5】 don’t want a child.

In addition to structure， responsibility(责任)of parents to their children can also be d 【6】 .

In China， many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood. It’s normal for parents to p 【7】 children’s college tuition (学费). After graduation， many parents also help find a job for their children， or buy an apartment for them.

In Western countries， however， children are supposed to be independent (独立的)after they r 【8】 the age of 18. Most parents will not pay their children’s tuition. Young people mostly have a part-time job or turn to the g 【9】 for help to cover their tuition. After graduation， if they can find a job， parents usually won’t cover most of their cost of living any m 【10】 .

Although families in the East and West may differ， it is the best place to warm us and teach us important values of love and care.

April will bring a new product – the Apple Watch – into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.

Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.

The watch also has “haptic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend, such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.

Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.

According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in--passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.

The biggest use of the watch, however, is asyour personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.

One day, we drank in a bar with some other friends. It was dark but none wanted to leave. We hadn't been together for a long time. We talked and laughed. It seemed that all of us forgot the time.But suddenly John got up and went outside. "Where are you going?" I followed him. "I just want to make a call with my parents. It's late. I want to tell them not to wait for me."I noticed that he dialed(拨号码)the phone number twice as he called his parents. When he dialed the first time, he hung up after three rings. And then he dialed a second time and began to talk.¨Was the line busy the first time?"I asked.‘‘NO．” ‘'Then I can't understand why you dialed the phone twice."

My friend smiled. He told me, "When I call my parents, they are so eager(渴望的)to talk to me that they run for the phone. Once, in order to answer my phone call, my mother fell down and hit her little toe against the table leg. She couldn't walk for days. After that,I made an agreement with them: Don't run to answer the phone.I call first and let the phone ring three times to give them the time to prepare."

After listening to him, my heart felt full. We often show how we care for our parents with gitfs and cards, but aren't the everyday gifts doing from the little things and telling of our love?

Everything we feel comes from within us. 【2】

If we create unhappiness for ourselves, the world will show us that unhappiness, but if we create joy, peace, and love for ourselves, this is what we will get back.

Can blame solve any problems? 【3】 When people did something hat makes us angry, afraid or hurt, we are doing nothing more than showing them the anger we feel inside.

We have choices about things that make us unhappy. We sometimes prefer to take the easier choices, the ones that keep us in our comfort zone(地带). 【4】 Sometimes we just have to go beyond our comfort zone, which may mean facing something we don't like. Perhaps we feel like a victim(受害者) and don't stand up for ourselves or speak up when we feel that people don't respect us.

Whatever the problem is, we have a choice every day to face it with blame, fear, anger, guilt(内疚), or with love, kindness, peace. 【5】 Don't blame. Enjoy your day.
