Cats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior. Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual.
There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.
While cats are predators, they are also easy to get attacked from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence.
Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Small cats frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.
If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction. A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again.
Eventually, most trapped cats will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to worry about; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.
1.According to the text small cats like to climb a person’s leg to______.
A. Show love to the person
B. Test out their claw skills
C. Avoid the attack from the dog
D. Get food from a person’s hand.
2.Why do cats have trouble getting down from a tree?
A. They are afraid of height.
B. They are easy to get lost in a tree.
C. They don’t know how to jump off a tree.
D. Their climbing ability doesn’t help when climbing down.
3.What should you do when you see a cat trapped in a tree?
A. Just let it alone.
B. Lead it down patiently.
C. Teach it the right way to get down.
D. Watch it closely until it comes down.
4.What does this text mainly talk about.
A. Why cats like to climb trees.
B. Why cats can’t climb down a tree.
C. How cats manage to climb down a tree.
D. What owners do to help cats down a tree.

During my early twenties, to make my parents stop feeling angry, and simply to escape, I decided to live in my birthplace for a period of time, something I'd sworn I would never do. My parents were thrilled. They prayed that I'd come back triumphantly with a picture－perfect bridegroom. That was the furthest thing from my mind as I packed my faded jeans, tank tops, boots, and a photo of my freckle－faced then－boyfriend who was of Scottish descent.
The moment I landed in Seoul, I was aware of how much I felt like a misfit. All my life I had tried to blend into the dominant culture and couldn't. And finally, when I was in a place where everyone looked like me, I still stood out. I took it for granted that I'd feel a sense of freedom. I thought I'd blend into the landscape. This was not the case. People stared at me with curious eyes. I became conscious of my American－girl swaggering body movements and inappropriate dress.
Collecting my courage, I traveled to the demilitarized zone on my own. I touched the high barbed－wire fence that stretched across the belly of the peninsula(半岛), dividing Korea in half. I visited thousand－year－old temples and magnificent palace gates that had survived modernization and centuries of battle. I met with distant cousins who welcomed me with outstretched arms into their homes and related heroic tales about my mother and Halmoni (Grandmother) during the war. How Halmoni had led her young children out of north to the United Nation－backed south. How my mother, at the age of thirteen, saved the life of her baby sister.
I listened with such an overwhelming thirst that when I returned to the States a year and a half later, I began to ask my parents and Halmoni (who had immigrated to the States some time after we did) all about the past. The past was no longer a time gone by, a dead weight. I now saw that it held ancient treasures. And the more I dug and discovered, the more I felt myself being steered toward a future I had never imagined for myself. I began to write. I didn't even know I could write. My family helped me knit stories into a book using Halmoni's voice. As her powerful words moved through me I was able to reflect and meditate on the ridiculous life I had fashioned for myself. I could feel my sense of self rising. This sparked a newfound awareness and excitement. I became a spokeswoman on Korean culture, traveling to various college campuses across the country. “Be proud. Embrace your heritage.” I said to young Korean American students wearing extra－large, trendy sportswear. But the whole time I was lecturing, I had very little understanding of what that self－concept meant. I was merely talking the talk. I hadn't yet fully embraced my own identity.
1.Why did the author leave America for her birthplace?
A. Because she broke up with her boyfriend and wanted to be alone.
B. Because she decided to be separated from her parents for a while.
C. Because she was forced by her parents to get married in Korea.
D. Because she longed for the travel in her birthplace on her own.
2.According to the passage, the author suggests that her original expectations about visiting Korea were ________．
A. unrealistic and na?ve
B. misguided and dangerous
C. ambitious and ridiculous
D. sensible and practical
3.What was the author's attitude toward the ancient monuments she visited in Korea?
A. She was curious about their original functions.
B. She was astonished at their size.
C. She admired their capacity to endure.
D. She was surprised at their beauty.
4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The author's attitude toward her family's earlier experiences changed from indifference to fascination.
B. The author felt extremely free when in Korea because it was the place where she looked like others.
C. The author wrote her family's stories in first person with the help of her grandmother.
D. The author was aware of her own national identity and knew what she was actually doing.
5. Which statement most closely parallels the author's conclusion about knowledge of the past?
A. It is a treasure that should be guarded.
B. It is often most valued during early adulthood.
C. It can enhance appreciation of ancient cultures.
D. It can help individuals attain deeper self－concept.

Jack threw some papers on my desk and looked at me angrily.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he shouted and left.
“How dare he treat me like that?” I thought. I had just changed one long sentence, and correct grammar--- something I thought I was paid to do. In fact I had been warned. On the first day one of my workmates took me aside and reminded me of his temper. As the weeks went by, I came to look down on Jack.
One day Jack’s other papers left me in tears so I stormed into his office angrily.
“What?” he asked.
Suddenly I knew what I must do. After all, he earned it. “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. Jack smiled nervously, “Susan, I make you a promise that I will be a friend. I will treat you as you should be treated, with respect and kindness,” he said. With these words, I left.
Jack avoided me the rest of the week, and never questioned my work again. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note: “Hope your day is going great.” Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared , but there were no more Jack’s papers. One year later I discovered I had breast cancer, and was scared. The statistics (统计数字) were not great for my long-term survival.
On the last day of my hospital stay, Jack came and silently handed me a bundle with several bulbs inside. “Tulips (郁金香) ,” he said. I smiled, not understanding. He cleared his throat. “If you plant them when you get home, they’ll come up next spring. I think you will be there to see them when they come up.” Tears clouded my eyes and I whispered: “Thank you.”Jack held my hands firmly, saying, “You are welcome. You can’t see it now, but next spring you will see the colors I picked out for you.”
I have seen those red and white striped（有条纹的） tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years now. This past September the doctor declared me cured. At a moment when I was praying for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the right things. After all, that’s what friends do.
1.Jack was angry with the author because___________.
A. she pointed out his mistakes in public
B. she changed the contents of the papers
C. she read the papers without his permission
D. she corrected the papers without telling him
2.The author entered Jack’s office with the purpose of ________________.
A. telling him about the mistake he had made
B. comforting him for the mistakes he had made
C. saying sorry to him for their misunderstanding
D. telling him she wanted to make friends with him
3.Why did the author cry on the last day of her hospital stay?
A. She was afraid that she would die soon.
B. She was moved by Jack’s flowers and words.
C. She was pleased that Jack became a good man.
D. She was angry with Jack for what he did to her.
