Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller and smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.

    2    

Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two-thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.

    3    

They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people’s yard, and further weaken(变弱) the health of the natural populations.

    4    

Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife(野生动物). It is bad for the cats themselves, too. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They may be in danger from traffic and attacks(攻击)from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don’t pass the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.

    5

【推荐1】Everyone must go to bed early and get up early, or we won’t be healthy and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every day. If you don’t go to bed early, you won’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think properly and can’t do your work properly. You’ll not be clever.
Some people go to bed late and get up late. This is not good for them. We must sleep at night when is is dark. The dark helps us to sleep soundly. When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. If you lack exercise, the body becomes weak. Exercise keeps a strong body.
Exercise helps the blood（血液）flow（流动） around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our body. The brain also needs blood. If we keep our body healthy and take exercise, we can think better.

【推荐2】Recently, there were two pieces of sad news. An old gorilla (大猩猩) called Sentai was seriously ill because some visitors fed them food. Another poor animal, a deer, died with 3.5 kilograms of plastic bags in her stomach. The two poor animals remind people of the most basic zoo rule again: do not feed animals.

Visitors often throw foods like peanuts and bread to animals. They think it’s kind for them to feed the animals. However, the foods are not good for the animals and may cause them to become sick.

“Imagine if someone often gives your children snacks and sweets. Would your children have healthy food as usual? This behavior can lead children to ignore (忽视) the healthy food. This is the same to animals,” Zhang, an animal expert in Beijing, told the Global Times.

Poor Sentai’s condition makes many people feel angry, and some people advise zoos to do more than just stop visitors when they feed animals. Some even advise the zoos to make a “blacklist” to keep those visitors out. However, it is very difficult for zoos to do this job. A worker in Shanghai zoo says that workers in the zoo will correct people’s mistakes and try to improve public awareness (意识) to stop this behavior.

Some people say that after hearing the news, they felt sorry for feeding animals at the zoo. Others say they are surprised to find that their “kind behaviors” could actually harm the animals.

We human beings can express our feelings when we feel ill or uncomfortable, but this is impossible for animals. So it’s important for visitors to protect the animals-by not feeding them.

1. How did the writer explain that feeding animals is bad for them?

A．By asking some questions	B．by showing a study about it
C．by showing an expert’s opinion	D．by giving an example about it

2. What will workers in Shanghai zoo not do?

A．correct people’s mistakes	B．improve people’s public awareness
C．Stop people when they feed animals	D．make a “blacklist” to keep some people out

3. what does the underlined word “this” refer to?

A．feeding animals	B．feeling uncomfortable
C．expressing their feelings	D．showing their kind behaviors

4. what’s the best title for the passage?

A．volunteer in zoos	B．stop feeding animals
C．keep animals in zoos	D．raise money for animals

【推荐3】Touch is one of the most important of our five senses (感官). It’s one of the first senses we have. One of the most commonly accepted forms of touch for people is also one of the first experiences (经历) in the world—A hug!

There is no better way to understand the importance of hugs than to lose them. People will know how important they are to share after they experience the loss of hugs.

A recent research shows that when people hug, the brain releases (释放) the chemical which can make people feel comfortable. It also shows that hugs are great for your heart.

In 1995, a pair of newly born twins was in hospital. While one of the twins looked quite healthy, the other was not. After trying different medical treatments (治疗), the nurse on duty, Gayle Kasparian, placed the twins in bed together. The twins immediately snuggled (依偎) up to each other. As one placed her arm around the other, the weak baby became better gradually. How great the power of a hug was!

We still need hugs as we grow older, though we are no longer usually hug others. Research on people of all ages shows that a hug is important for physical and emotional health.

Without hugs we can become sad. A hug provides (提供) safety and gentleness. A hug provides us with social contact, a sense of health and a feeling of importance.

A．touch is the most important sense	B．hug is one of human’s five senses

【推荐3】Wang Yaping, together with Zhai Zhigang and Ye Guangfu, went into space aboard the Shenzhou XIII on Oct 16. The 41-year-old Wang became the first female astronaut（女航天员）to enter Tiangong space station.

Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. At that time,Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang was a strong candidate（候选人）to become an astronaut in 2010. She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull-ups（引体向上）and barbells（杠铃）. “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman,” she said.

The hardest part is the high-G training. Sitting in a spinning（旋转的）machine, Wang would become blind for a while because her brain（大脑）was short of blood. “There’s a red button（按 钮）,” said Wang. “If you can’t bear（忍受）it, you can press it to stop.” But Wang never used it. “There is no such red button in my heart.”

That strong spirit finally led to realizing her dream in 2013. She joined the team for the Shenzhou X mission. Wang said that as astronauts, women have their own advantages（优势）. “Women tend（倾向于）to be more patient and can better deal with loneliness.”

NASA astronaut Catherine Coleman sent a greeting to Wang before the Shenzhou XIII trip. Coleman said: “When you look out the window and see the stars and the Earth, billions（数十亿）of women will be looking out that window with you.” Wang carries the spirit of every young woman who dreams of something big.
