【推荐2】When you touch your dog slowly, it wags (摇) its tail (尾巴). That is its way of saying that it loves you. And, if you watch it carefully, you will see that it uses its tail to say so many things to you. Every movement of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it means that it is friendly to you; if its tail is straight, it means that it is getting ready to fight; and if its tail is behind its legs, it means that it is giving up the fight.

Unlike dogs, cats’ tail language is not so meaningful. When a cat feels scared or meet some dangerous things, it tries to appear bigger than usual and its tail shakes with a big movement. And when it doesn’t like something, it moves its tail quickly.

The tail language of dogs and cats has an interesting story behind it. Earlier, dogs and cats were predators. They used to catch other animals as their food. When dogs went out catching other animals with their friends, tail language became useful. When they were close to each other, dogs could use some special ways like facial expressions (面部表情) to talk. But for long-distance talks, they used their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to catch other animals alone, so they didn’t need to use tail language too often. So cats’ words in tail language are much fewer than those of dogs.

1. What does it mean when a dog’s tail is straight?

A．It has a lot to say to you.

B．It wants to stop fighting.

C．It is going to fight.

D．It wants you to touch it.

2. A cat tries to appear bigger when it is ________.

A．facing a danger	B．excited
C．ready to catch animal	D．hungry

3. What does the underlined word “predators” mean?

A．Animals that follow other animals.

B．Animals that kill and eat other animals.

C．Animals that live in the zoo.

D．Animals that like living with people.

4. Which of the following does the writer mean to say?

A．Dogs and cats are not good friends.

B．Dogs are much friendlier than cats.

C．Dogs and cats are easy to keep.

D．Dogs use tail language more than cats do.

5. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Body language in ancient times.

B．The tail language.

On the first day of the World Cup 2022, Jack Grealish made the 6th goal (进球). This action helped his team to win the game. It was a really great goal. But it was Jack’s goal celebration (庆祝动作) that really caught the eye. He opened his arms and moved like a flying bird. He did so for his big fan, Finlay. Finlay is a 11-year-old boy. He has a serious health problem, just like Jack’s little sister. Jack made a promise to let Finlay choose his next goal celebration. And he kept his promise.

Like Jack, many soccer players have their own goal celebrations. For example, Lionel Messi usually points two fingers to the sky. Some of the most common celebrations are jumping very high, running with open arms or kissing the logo on the T-shirt. They do these to show their happiness, to let people know they are excited, or to remember someone they love.

In soccer, goal celebrations are special. Unlike other sports such as basketball or volleyball, it’s hard to make a goal in a soccer game. That’s probably why soccer players celebrate so much after they make a goal.

1. The underlined expression “caught the eye” means ________.

A．引人注目

B．风靡一时

C．大跌眼镜

2. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Finlay ________.

【推荐1】Some of the animals and birds in the forests, such as monkeys and woodpeckers (啄木鸟), live in the trees.

We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.
Tuesday, March 27th
Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables. Everything is so colorful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.
Friday，March 30th
Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life -- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

【推荐1】A young nurse couldn’t hold back her tears as patients bowed in farewell to medical workers at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, Hubei province. The hospital is affiliated with Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Wang Jiaqi, a nurse of the Second Hospital of Jilin University and a member of the third medical team from Jilin province supporting Hubei, the epicenter of the epidemic, started her first workday in the hospital on Feb 9.

“To be honest, I felt a little frightened before I departed, but I knew it was my responsibility,” she said. “In recent days, despite the hard work, I can still feel the warmth of patients’ understanding and respect. The most beautiful thing in Wuhan is not the blooming sakura, but the grateful hearts of the people,” she said.

On March 6, four patients infected with the novel coronavirus had recovered and were allowed to leave from the hospital. Before leaving, they wrote letters of thanks.

“You are the heroes who work to save all the people of Wuhan,” an elderly couple said in their letter. “We believe that after many years we will still remember you and what you have done to save our lives. Please come back to the city in your spare time after the epidemic is over,” they said in the letter. “We will be here waiting for you.”
