    Why do 33% of the households in the USA have cats? And how do you explain why there are 16 million more pet cats than dogs? Yes, kittens are adorable （讨人喜欢的）．Yes, they can grow up to be good mousers and are very entertaining to watch．And yes, cats are independent and don't require as much care as dogs．But research shows cats can also be caretakers for us and our families, improve our health and teach us and our children to be kinder, gentler souls．

           Theodora Wesselman is 94 and has lived the past two years with her elderly cat, Cleo, at TigerPlace, a retirement community in Columbia, Mo．Their enduring friendship is a classic example of how humans and animals can become family and look out for each other．

           Wesselman visits other residents, and her children stop by, but Cleo is her best friend, she says．They've been together nearly 21 years．

           "She sleeps on her own pillow right beside mine," Wesselman says．"In the morning, she pecks on my cheek to wake me up．It's really sweet．I pet her, tell her I love her and take her to the kitchen to prepare her food．"

           Research shows that being able to care for a pet improves our morale （士气;精神状态）, helps validate us and encourages us to take care of ourselves, says Rebecca Johnson, director of the University of Missouri's Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction．The body of research is leading more retirement communities and universities to roll out the welcome mat for pets．

    According to the context, where do you think the sentence “They start and end the day together” should appear in the passage?

           A．To show that the elderly like Theodora Wesselman in the USA have pet cats．

           B．To suggest to what degree humans and pet cats can be caretakers for each other．

           C．Because Theodora Wesselman has been living with a pet cat for the past two years．

           D．Because Theodora Wesselman pets her cat Cleo and tells her she loves her．

    NEW YORK - People who keep doing some work in their field after they retire may enjoy better physical and mental health than those who stop work completely or switch to another area of work, according to a U.S. study.
    Researchers from the University of Maryland said the findings suggest that prospective retirees should consider moving into so-called "bridge employment" as a transition to full retirement.
    "In essence, if someone is in a field where part-time work or self-employment is possible, he or she should consider it as they plan for retirement," researcher Dr. Mo Wang, an assistant professor of psychology, told Reuters Health.
    For their study, Wang and his colleagues used data on more than 12,000 workers in a U.S. health study begun in 1992. Participants, who were between the ages of 51 and 61 at the outset, were surveyed every two years over a six-year period.
    Overall, Wang's team found, people who went into some form of bridge employment reported lower rates of major diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis during the study period than their counterparts who went straight into full retirement.
    The findings were not explained by older age or worse initial health among people who opted for full retirement, the investigators report in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology.
    On top of their better physical health, "bridge" workers also tended to report fewer mental health problems, such as depression.
    The same mental health benefits were not seen, however, when retirees took part-time work in other fields -- possibly, Wang said, because many of these people may have taken those jobs out of financial need rather than choice.
    He noted that the lack of benefit could also stem from the fact that these retirees had to adjust to an unfamiliar job position or had to make lifestyle changes.
    Bridge work, particularly in one's accustomed field, may benefit physical and mental health for a number of reasons, according to Wang.
    In general, he explained, such work may help older adults maintain the active lifestyles they had during their careers and decrease any stress they might feel from the transition into retirement.  wwwWang said when it comes to mental health, for instance, bridge work may help by allowing people to keep some of the "role identity" that they have formed over their careers.
    Staying active in general, not only through work, can also benefit retirees' physical health, Wang noted. He added, however, that any mental health benefits are likely to depend on the type of activity -- whether it is something that the person truly enjoys, and that helps ease any stress of moving into retirement.
    "These findings," Wang said, "suggest that for retirees and prospective retirees, carefully considering whether to engage in bridge employment -- and if so, what types of bridge employment -- is quite important."
    【小题1】 What does the underlined phrase “at the outset” mean?__________

    A．at leastB．at leastC．at the beginningD．at last
    【小题2】 People who went into some form of bridge employment have less chances to get the following diseases, EXCEPT___________.
    A．arthritisB．heart diseaseC．diabetesD．low blood pressure
    【小题3】Which of the following statement is WRONG?_________
    A．As long as retirees move into “bridge employment”, they must be healthier than those who do not.
    B．The participants in the study were between 51 and 61 years old.
    C．The bridge workers are also less likely to get depression.
    D．Staying active is beneficial to the retirees’ physical health.
    【小题4】What can we infer from the passage?________
    A．The study was begun in 1992 and lasts for two 6-year periods
    B．If a bridge worker is older than 61 years old, it does not mean that he will get a better health than others who enjoy full retirement.
    C．Only by moving into “bridge employment” can the retirees enjoy better health both physically and psychologically.
    D．Any activity can benefit the retirees’ mental health.
    【小题5】Which is the best title of the passage?
    A．A US study
    B．Bridge Work
    C．Working after retiring can be good for your health
    D．Stay active

    It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.

    Real radio

    In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many pub­lic radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.

    The festivals

    I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already ex­changed my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.

    The famous people

    When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus mo­ment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.

    1.The underlined sentence "There is,simply, no dead air." probably means____.

    A. there is no useless radio programmes in the USA

    B. there is no useful radio programmes in the USA

    C. there is no polluted air in the USA

    D. there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA

    2.There are so many festivals that_____.

    A. I often leave campus for more than few days

    B. I often attend some of them in person

    C. I bought a bigger Ford? Mustang

    D. I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa

    3.The author thinks the famous people in the USA _____.

    A. are just Like lions????????????? ???????????? B. are well-known but ordinary

    C. are disappointing????????????? D. are inspiring

    4.The author is most likely to be _____.

    A. a director in America????????????? ?????????? B. a professor in South Africa

    C. a student in America????????????? ???????? D. an actor in South Africa
