Although cats may be one of the most popular pets today, little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship.

The earliest evidence for human–cat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus(史前塞浦路斯), where the remains of a wild cat and a human — dated 9,500 years old — were found buried together.

A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a human–domestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300 years ago. Researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China. By using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)–based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site.

"The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of millet–based food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (嚙齒動物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally," said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.

"It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” Hu explains. Since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat.

Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them "pets" could be answered by other evidence. Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents — a vermin (害獸) that cats could certainly have helped with.

The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. Cats were attracted to the rats, and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.

1.The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means .

A．human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years ago

B．human interacted with cats very early

C．cats didn’t appear until prehistoric Cyprus

D．when cats became domesticated

2.Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may also study .

A．the preventions of pests from grains

B．the history of Chinese farming

C．the dogs and pigs

D．the ways to keep pets

3.Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms’ keeping cats?

A．Cats didn’t feed on meat.

B．The cats consumed large amounts of millet–based foods.

C．One of the cats survived to reach old age.

D．Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.

4.What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats?

A．Helping keep other domesticated animals.

B．Not letting cats eat food.

C．Supplying meat for human.

D．Helping reduce the amount of pests.

5.In which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .

A．Entertainment B．Environment

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.

When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.

When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.

For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell...” We have never met.

It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

1.In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to .

A．share poems and stories with her friend

B．go to her friend’s house regularly

C．become serious about her study

D．learn from her classmates at school

2.In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means .

A．our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared

B．we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London

C．our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us

D．we parted with each other in London

3.According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend .

A．call each other regularly

B．enjoy writing to each other

C．have similar personalities

D．dream of meeting each other

4.In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to .

A．seek professional help

B．break the silence

C．stay with her best friend

D．be left alone

Looking after my school flour(面粉) baby

Many girls like to have dolls in their childhood. If you visit our school, you will see lots of students carrying flour babies. We also have such classes to learn about what it’s like to be a parent.

The 10-pound (4.5kilograms) flour bags were used as babies. We decide the gender (性別) by throwing a coin. We parents must keep the babies’ faces exposed (暴露) for their breath and have to keep a close eye on them so that we don’t lose them. Mr. Craton, our history teacher like taking away “babies” when we parents lose attention. He takes 22 babies away from parents in four days.

We need to write a baby diary. To support the baby, we also need to find a job to feed the baby. Do you know the total cost of raising a baby for the first year? It is about $5,000.

I really love this special class. It helps students to understand how much their parents spend on them when they were little.
