Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金絲雀). If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himself, we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.”
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.
Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow” or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person’s work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.
If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “l(fā)et the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌頭)”
Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (監(jiān)管).
You may have heard the expression “curiosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems.
If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “
【小題1】What can we learn from the passage?
A．The expression “a fat cat” is used to describe someone who is very fat.
B．The expression “play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on others”.
C．It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.
D．There are more expressions about cats than those about dogs.
【小題2】 In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression “curiosity killed the cat”?
A．Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.
B．Someone promised to keep a secret but he failed to do so.
C．Someone won the first prize in an English singing competition and he felt very excited.
D．Someone tried to swim across the Yangtze River with his newly broken legs.
【小題3】Where can you most probably find the passage?
A．In a scientific research paper about cats.
B．On a website telling people how to keep cats.
C．In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories.
D．In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang.

We often see many animals. But do you know how these animals say things?
Let’s see a rabbit. When a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away at once. When it runs, its tail moves up and down. When others see this, they runs quickly ,too. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to its home. It can’t tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it can dance. This may tell the other bees where the food is .
Some animals say things by making sounds like man does. For example, a dog barks when a stranger comes close. Some birds can make several different sounds, each sound has its own meaning. In a word, every animal has its own language.

Do you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? Normally the women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent（聰明的） than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount（數(shù)量）of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women.

It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.

There are other important differences between two sexes（性別）. As white matter is the key to spatial（空間的）tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!

The differences begin when fetuses（胎兒）are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?

A．Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.

B．Men’s brain is 10% less than women’s.

C．Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.

D．Men and women have the same amount of white matter.

2.What can you infer from Paragraphs 2 and 3?

A．Men have weaker spatial abilities.

B．Women do not need to tell directions.

C．Women prefer doing many things at a time.

D．Women do many jobs at a time better than men.

3.What can you learn from Paragraph 4?

A．Our children needed more spatial skills.

B．Women may have more feelings than men.

C．Young boys may be stronger than young girls.

D．More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.

4.The passage is mainly about _______.

A．ways of being more intelligent

B．differences between men and women

C．studies on brains between two sexes

D．studies on white matter and grey matter

Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well.  Most of us are right-handed.  Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed.  New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands.  Scientists don’t know why this happens.

Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand.  There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones.  Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands.  But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people.  We live in a right-handed world. 

1.How many people among 100 people use their left hands better?

A. 5%.     B. 50%.     C. 95%. 

2.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “equally” in Chinese?

A. 公正地    B. 均等地    C. 平凡地

3.New-born babies can use  ____  ____ __. 

A.  both of their hands    B.  neither of their hands    C.  their right hands

A.  There are more monkeys using their right hands than left hands. 

B.  There are more monkeys using their left hands than right hands.

5.“We live in a right-handed world. ”means ____ ____ __. 

A.  Most people use their right hands better. 

B.  Few people use their right hands better. 

C.  Half of the people use their right hands better.
