“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to get along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband. “That sounds like a pretty good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?” “No. Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,” she said.

The next morning the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes,” Mr Snow said, “So I need to ask you some questions.”

After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn’t need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark (吠) and warn them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care, they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn’t checked her yet. So Mr Snow told them to return on Sunday.

文章大意:本文主要讲述了一个名叫Snowy的猫通过弹钢琴把主人叫醒。

【推荐2】Snowy was a little cat. He lived with a little old lady who loved Snowy very much. Sometimes the old lady would sit in her rocking chair, rocking backwards and forwards until she fell asleep or sometimes she would play little tunes(曲子)on her piano.

One sunny day, Snowy jumped up on the windowsill(窗台). Snowy wanted to go out and play with the pretty butterflies, but the window was shut and the old lady fell asleep in her rocking chair.

He ran to the door but that was shut, too. He sat down near the old lady’s feet and said, “Miaou?” That was his way of saying, “May I go out to play, please?” The old lady didn’t hear him but stayed fast asleep.

He rubbed his soft head against the old lady’s legs. Still the old lady slept. So Snowy sat down and thought hard. Then he had an idea. He would jump up onto the piano and play a tune. That might wake her up. So Snowy jumped up onto the piano and was a little scared of the loud, big, deep drum sound he made as he landed.

He took another little step. It wasn’t quite such a loud note. Up and down the notes he walked until he reached the very high notes which sounded like lots of bells. But still the old lady slept. Snowy kept dancing about on them and made quite a pretty tune, At last the old lady woke up.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了大头蚂蚁的入侵,让狮子改变了它们的捕食习惯。

【推荐3】

An invasive species (入侵物种) of ant, called “big-headed ant,” is changing the way lions hunt (捕猎) and eat in Kenya, according to a new study. The ants spread because of human activities like trade and travel. They arrived in Kenya from southern Africa about 15 years ago. Since then they have been killing the local acacia ant.

Acacia ants live in and take care of the whistling thorn tree sin Kenya. In a “symbiotic relationship”, acacia ants get food from the trees and use them for home. In return, they protect the trees from animals like elephants or giraffes, which might eat too much of the trees. Acacia ants do this through a tacking (攻击) these animals in group.

However, big-headed ants eat acacia ants and their eggs. As a result, the number of acacia ants is falling. What’s more, big-headed ants don’t protect whistling thorn trees either. So with fewer acacia ants to save them, the trees are in trouble.

Professor Palmer’s team found that in areas with big-headed ants, elephants destroyed (破坏) more trees. This means the place is more open and zebras can easily find lions following them. So lions kill much fewer zebras in these areas than in tree-filled places.

The good news is that the lion population remains unchanged because the lions turn to hunt buffalo for food instead of zebras. This probably means that the tiny ants have caused lions to change their habits too. They have to hunt the bigger, heavier buffalo. Professor Palmer said, “We often find it’s the little things that rule the world.”

1. Big-headed ants ________.
A.come from southern KenyaB.feed on whistling thorn trees
C.spread because of humansD.attack elephants and giraffes
2. Picture ________ best shows the underlined words “symbiotic relationship”.
A.B.

3. In Paragraph 4, elephants destroyed more trees so that ________.
A.buffalo run out of foodB.lions have trouble hunting zebras
C.invasive ants lose homesD.zebras leave tree-filled places
4. Big-headed ants have caused the number of ________ to fall.
①acacia ants                      ②whistling thorn trees        ③zebras                      ④lions
A.①②B.①④C.②③D.②④
5. Lions ________ to deal with the changes.
A.have kept the elephants from tree-filled places
B.have spent much more time following zebras
C.have moved elsewhere without big-headed ants
D.have looked for other larger animals for food
