Unbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans

Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do. When horses raise their noses and open
their nostrils (鼻孔) , their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense. This might explain

confronted by a stranger.
◆A cat honors its owner
Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old
gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died
in September 2011. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and the two

A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don't laugh, it's true. Family matters including living
habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she
heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a
coma. It is because she is suffering from depression , caused by bad relations at home, doctors
explained."We don't get sick or stay well by ourselves," says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows
that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research.
The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your
risk of being affected (影响) may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.
Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and
environment affect our health, too.
Ferrer's research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored (忽视) or unimportant at home
they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual
problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits , Ferrer said.
24. Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class.

B. Because her parents used to quarrel.
C. Because of her depression caused by bad family relations.
D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
25. According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health.
C. Our health has nothing to do with diet, life style and environment.
D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not.
26. The underlined word "coma" in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
A. embarrassment B. faint C. tiredness D. sadness
27. The best title for this passage is ________.
A. Family relations. B. The reasons why we get sick.
C. Happy family makes you healthy. D. A research about teenagers' health.

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more
from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how
much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our
body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems
and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat
raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea
that raw foods are always going to be better，” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohio State
University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the
table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way
is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots
than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important. When the vegetables were cooked with fat,
the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people
will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the
food taste better.
28. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us D. how many vegetables one should eat
29. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
30. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared D. the price at which the vegetable are sold

A. it's better to cook vegetables with the fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. it's better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables

People have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over-the- counter (非处方的)
medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗)like herbal tea or chicken soup.
Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold: nothing really cures it.
So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work According to James Taylor, professor
at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week, improving a little
each day after symptoms peak, so it’s easy to believe it’s medicine rather than time that deserves the
credit, USA Today reported.
It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against
something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figuring out why. To understand it,
you first need to know how antiviral(抗病毒的) drugs work. They attack the virus by attaching to and
changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that, the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the
right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3-D model to
study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug that is effective enough.
The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B.
But they didn’t find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of
them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and B have little
effect when used against C.
“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinovirus,” study leader Professor
Ann Palmenberg at University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, told Science Daily.
Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists have finally built a
highly-detailed 3-D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected, different from
that of other cold viruses.
With the model in hand, hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon, we may no
longer have to waste our money on medicines that don’t really work.
32. What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold
A. They are quite effective. B. They are slightly helpful.
C. They still need to be improved. D. They actually have no effect.
33. How do antiviral drugs work
A. By breaking up cold viruses directly.
B. By changing the surface structures of the cold viruses.
C. By preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.
D. By absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. The surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.
B. Scientists have already found a cure for the common cold.

C. Scientists were not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.
D. Knowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.
35. What is the best title for this passage
A. Drugs against cold viruses B. Helpful home remedies
C. No current cure for common cold D. Research on cold viruses

Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her best friend，Susan—it was a
twelve-by-eight inch dark blue carpet.Her “thanks” was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her
disappointment.
The next morning，I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan’s carpet lying there.I
immediately reached in and pulled it out of the rubbish can.After giving it a brushing，I brought it into the
house and put it away.
Before Holly’s birthday，Susan had been a regular visitor in our home.But suddenly I realized that it
had been nearly three weeks since we’d heard the mention of Susan’s name.I missed her warm smile very
much.
“Susan invited us to go to her house after school tomorrow.” Holly said as soon as she arrived from
school.From her voice，I sensed she was pleased with the invitation.
We were traveling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day.On the way
Susan talked nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.
When we came to a stop，Susan’s foster mom—who introduced herself as Glenda—gave us a warm
welcome.Susan guided us through the house.She proudly showed us her room，which was only decorated
with some shabby used furniture.
I followed Susan’s foster mom，Glenda，into the kitchen.After clearing a small area，Glenda poured
us each a cup of black coffee with her trembling hand.Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and
chatted about her cats.
Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan.But her expression turned blue when she
referred to the girl’s past.In an instant，I came to respect this warmhearted woman who had opened her
home to a younger girl and tied hard to make a difference in her life.
