    It seems that there is no middle ground when it comes to cats. People either love them or hate them. These feelings are not new either. All through history, cats have been worshiped or hated. A study of ancient writings and evidence found in tombs indicates that for the past 5,000 years, cats have been kept as pets in China, Arabia, Egypt, and India. However, this isn’t very long compared to dogs, which have been domesticated for 50,000 years. Still, while the period in which cats have been domesticated may be quite short, it has definitely had its high and low points.

    Cats were at their highest position of domesticated life in ancient Egypt. There were more cats living in Egypt during the time of the pharaohs than in any other place in the world since that time. This high number of cats was probably due to the laws protecting them. Cats were associated with the moon goddess, Bast, so the Egyptians worshiped them as holy animals. If anyone was caught killing a cat, the person could be put to death. Families in Egypt also mourned the death of a cat and had the body of the dead cat wrapped in cloth before it was finally laid to rest. This respect for cats carried over to the Roman Empire where cats were the only animals allowed into temples. This fact was probably due to the ability of cats to keep the temples free of mice and rats. With the coming of the Dark Ages in Europe, the place of cats in society took a turn for the Empire, Christians began to associate cats with pegan (异教徒) beliefs. Cats had a reputation as helpers of witches. When a person was accused of being a witch, a cat would often be put on trial with the person. The cat would be tortured（拷打） to try and make the person tell the truth, and usually the cat and the person would end up being burned in a bonfire or drowned. Bonfires of collected cats were not uncommon during this time.

    The days of hunting witches have ended, but other myths about cats still hold out. For a while, people in some places used to bury live cats under new buildings for good luck. As well, many people today continue to believe that black cats bring bad luck. If a black cat walks in front of a person, that person must take extra care in the near future to watch out for dangerous situations. Regardless of superstition(迷信), cats remain a popular pet today. Some cat experts believe that a cat never truly be domesticated because it may turn wild and run away at any time. However, this claim has not put people off keeping cats in their homes. A third of homes in the United States have cats, and one out of every three of these homes keeps both a dog and a cat. Especially in large cities, many people in small apartments have found that cats make much better pets than dogs.

    Cats may not be worshiped as gods any more, but there are people who seem to think of their cat as their children. These cat owners will do almost anything to keep their pets healthy and happy. For those cat owners who have always wondered what their pets are trying to tell them, a Japanese company may have come up with the perfect invention. In 2003, the Takara Company announced the Meowlingual, a cat translation device. The Meowlingual uses a microphone, display, and cat voice analyzer to analyze a cat’s meows to determine which of 200 phrases a cat is trying to say.

    According to a company spokesperson, “… cat owners all over the world have been telling Takara, ‘ We want a cat translator!’” Now, the company “is making their dream come true by bringing in a new era of communication between cat lovers and their pets.”

    A．the status of cats throughout history

    B．the evolution of different species of cats

    C．the popularity of the cats today

    D．communication between cats and their owners

    A．as farm animals     B．as food           C．as magical creatures D．as honored guests

    People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare.

    These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.

    Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

    1.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?

    A．Parents bring up children.

    B．Parents give love and care to children.

    C．Parents educate children to be good persons.

    D．Parents pass away before children grow up.

    2.What do you know from the passage?

    A．Both festivals are in May.

    B．Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.

    C．Not all the children respect their parents.

    D．Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.

    3.Which do you know about “carnation”?

    A．It only has two kinds of color.

    B．It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day.

    C．It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.

    D．People can wear them only on the second Sunday in May.

         When he died in April of 1983, Dr. Joel Hildebrand was 101years old, who had been married for
    seventy-five years,and had taught freshman chemistry to over 40,000 college students. For his life, he had
    published a popular chemistry textbook and dozens of articles,had managed the U.S. Olympic ski team, and
    discovered a way to allow deep-sea divers to stay underwater longer.In his own way,Dr. Hildebrand was
    certainly a genius.
         Dr. Hildebrand's interest in chemistry began at an early age. In an interview, he once said that his interest
    had to make his own decision about what to pay attention to.Even as a student in high school, Dr. Hildebrand
    had the fame as the one who learned more chemistry than his teacher knew. As a result he was given the keys
    to the high school chemistry lab, and there he discovered that the correct formula (公式) for a certain chemical compound was not the one given in his chemistry book but a totally different one. Dr. Hildebrand went on to
    teach at the University of California at Berkeley and remained there for almost forty years.
         During that time, Dr, Hildebrand discovered that the gas helium (氦)could be combined with oxygen for use
    as diving gas to allow divers to dive deeper and take the great pressure of the water without the physical
    discomforts that had been experienced when that used another gas, nitrogen. The use of helium for deep-sea
    diving is now standard practice.Dr. Hildebrand was also valuable to his country during both world wars. In
    World War I he analyzed the poisonous gases used on the battlefield and helped develop a truck that could
    clean and treat soldiers' clothes which had been contaminated (弄脏) by poisonous gases during fighting. In
    World War II he helped develop a type of snowmobile,a vehicle used to carry the soldiers through the snow in
    northern countries. Dr. Hildebrand's retirement (退休) from teaching at the age of seventy was required by
    state law in California.
          He objected to this,joking he thought a teacher's time of retirement ought to be determined not by age but
    by how many of that teacher's students were still awake after the first fifteen minutes of class!
         Dr. Hildebrand's writing career continued,however, and was still feeling strong at the age of 100,when he
    published an article on the theory of chemical solutions. Dr. Hildebrand's love of life and his interest in it were
    an inspirations to all who knew him. When asked once how he could have such ageless energy and vigor, he
    said,"I chose my ancestors carefully."

    D. Something that man had to use in their daily life.
    2. When Dr. Hildebrand was still a high school student, he was well known because ____.
    A. he was good at chemistry.
    B. Could use the chemistry as he liked.
    C. His teachers were not so clever as he was.
