A she-wolf left her group with her new mate, an old experienced wolf with one eye. She seemed uneasy, stopping now and again to look for something. Arriving at the mouth of a cave, she looked around, and then went inside. It was small, but comfortable. She-wolf lay down. This was the place she’d been looking for.

Old One-eye went hunting, but he was unlucky and came back with nothing. At the mouth of the cave, he heard low, strange sounds coming from inside. He slowly went inside and found She-wolf had given birth to five babies. Flooded with a fatherly nature, Old One-eye set off again. When he returned with food, She-wolf let him come closer to the babies.

One of the babies was different from the others who had their mother’s reddish fur. He alone had the gray wolf coat of his father. He was the strongest and his growl (吼叫) was the loudest. The first month of his life, his whole world was the shadowy cave. As time passed, he wanted to go towards the mouth of the cave that let in a little light. But when he tried, his mother gave him a sharp hit on his nose. This was his first lesson that taking risks can be painful!

Then came a time when there was no food for the family and hunger weakened the family. Four of the babies would never wake again, except the gray one. One day, Old One-eye didn’t come back. Only She-wolf knew the reason. Following One-eye’s footprints, She-wolf found his body under a tree. It was clear there had been a huge fight. She-wolf felt the loss deeply, but knew that life must go on. Motherhood is the strongest power in nature. She had her baby to protect.

The world according to cats is very different from the one we travel through. To walk in a cat’s paws, we first need to understand how a cat experiences the world. Although cats use the same senses as humans—sight, sound, smell and touch—they use them quite differently.

Sight

It seems that cats can move in the darkness easily. However, many cats are more likely to be active and hunt at dawn and dusk. Cats see the world less colourful than humans which also influences their eyesight. What cats can see from 20 feet away, we can see at 100 feet.

Sound

A cat’s triangle-shaped ears act like small satellite dishes. Their ears can turn forward, backward, and sideways which allows them to locate sound in just six-hundredths of a second from up to three feet away and even identify slight differences in sounds. Their hearing is far more capable than humans and even dogs.

Smell

Smell, unlike the other four senses, is fully developed in a newborn kitten. Experts believe that a cat’s sense of smell is about 14 times better than ours. Cats have up to 200 million special cells that detect smells, compared with our only five million.

Touch

Cats really depend on whiskers (胡须). They are longer and thicker than normal cat hair, which are as useful as human fingertips. Whiskers detect air movements that can show the presence of menaces and prevent them from getting hurt.

16. What should we do first to understand cats?

A．To live with cats.	B．To know how cats sense the world.
C．To behave like cats.	D．To have the same experiences as cats.

17. What do we learn about cats’ sight?

A．Cats love to play with people all day.	B．Cats may prefer to live in the darkness.
C．Cats have weaker eyesight than humans.	D．Cats’ world is more colourful than humans’.

18. Why do cats have excellent hearing?

A．They practice their ears a lot.	B．Their ears have special shapes.
C．They know to work with humans.	D．Their ears can face to different sides.

19. What is special about cats’ smell ability compared with other senses?

A．It is the most useful sense.	B．It is gained when cats are born.
C．It develops in their middle age.	D．It is stronger in cats’ childhood.

20. What does the underlined word “menaces” probably mean?

A．Rats.

B．Sounds.

C．Risks.

D．Problems.

Kids are on their phones more than ever. A study of 19 European countries found 80% of children aged 9 to 16 go online daily, or almost daily. And the average length of time children and young people spend on their devices has been increasing in recent years. The trends have become more noticeable because of lockdowns: 79% of UK parents reported their children’s screen time was up post-pandemic.

Parents of children to teenagers around the world told the Guardian about their children’s relationship with screens. While many were pleased with their children’s smartphone use, most said they were unhappy with the time they spent online and the effect they believed it was having on their moods and health.

Steve, a parent of two teenage boys, 13 and 15, in the Netherlands, is among them. While he was worried about his sons’ phone using time, the 54-year-old wondered how to solve it. “One can’t refuse the kids to have a smartphone, not only because technology has become a basic part of modern life, but because it’s become part of how they communicate with their peers,” said Steve.

Parents told us about a number of tools they relied on. While some parents adopt a laissez-faire (放任) attitude, and others the “prevention is the best medicine” method, most found themselves somewhere in the middle, setting rules like “no screens at night”. While some chose to take away devices, others tried more peaceful methods.

21. How does the writer introduce the topic?

A．By telling stories.	B．By answering questions.
C．By showing research results.	D．By presenting people’s opinions.

22. What does the underlined “it” refer to?

A．Smartphone use.

B．Technology.

C．The effect.

D．Online time.

23. What is Steve’s opinion on children’s phone using?

A．Parents should strictly help children manage phone using time.

B．Children should rely on their phones all the time in modern time.

C．Ways to control children’s screen time should be considered carefully.

D．Using smartphones too much has bad effects on peer’s communication.

24. Which of the following is a “peaceful method”?

A．Locking children’s smartphones.	B．Encouraging other interests.
C．Forbidding screen time.	D．Switching off Wi-Fi at night.

25. Which of the following is the main idea of this news report?

A．The reasons why kids spend more time on their phones.

B．The negative effects of overusing phones among children.
