4 . A new study involving the Chinese mountain cat of the Tibetan Plateau has determined that this type of wildcat did not give rise to a separate lineage (血统) of domesticated cats in Asia, as some researchers had supposed, reports David Grimm for Science. The finding supports the conclusions of previous research that suggested all modern domesticated cats originated from the African wildcat, a subspecies of wildcat that appears to have first been domesticated in the Middle East around 6,400 years ago.

The new study, published last week in the journal Science Advances, collected and sequenced the genetic (基因的) material of 27 Chinese mountain cats, 239 Chinese domestic cats and four Asiatic wildcats. The Chinese mountain cat is so rare and hard to find that the researcher’s samples all had to come from museum specimens (样本), roadkill and zoo animals, reports Jaime Chambers for Science News.

The curiosity as to whether the Chinese mountain cat might have contributed genes to at least some populations of modern domestic cats comes partly from the deep 5,300-year history between humans and cats in China and partly because the Chinese mountain cat had never been included in past comparative genetic studies, according to Science News.

The genetic results suggest that the Chinese mountain cat is a subspecies of wildcat rather than its own separate species. This could have a negative impact on the conservation of the Chinese mountain cat, which is listed as “vulnerable (易危)” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is estimated to have a global population of fewer than 10,000 individuals. Per the IUCN, the cat’s population is in decline, largely due to habitat loss, poisoning and illegal hunting for its coat.

While there remains a lot of argument over how exactly to classify the Chinese mountain cat, Jim Sanderson, a wildlife ecologist with the conservation organization Re: wild, has argued for the Chinese mountain cat to be declared its own species. “The belief is that if it’s not a separate species, nobody cares. We ‘re living in an age of extinction,” Sanderson tells Science. “The Chinese mountain cat deserves every bit as much attention as the panda.”

1. In which way is the new study different from previous ones?

A．The time it has taken is much longer than before.

B．Most of the researcher’s samples are from zoo animals.

C．More Chinese domestic cats and wildcats are included.

D．The Chinese mountain cat is involved in genetic testing.

2. What is the problem with the Chinese mountain cat?

A．It is likely to die out in the near future.	B．It is being caught and sent to Africa.
C．It is damaging the local ecosystem.	D．It is now a threat to domestic cats.

3. Why does Sanderson tend to treat the Chinese mountain cat as a separate species?

A．To distinguish it from the other cats.	B．To end the argument over its classification.
C．To draw more tourists to the Tibetan Plateau.	D．To raise public awareness about its protection.

4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To make the true facts of certain cats clear.	B．To identify cat species from around the world.
C．To explore the history between humans and cats.	D．To report a new study on cats in the Middle East.

5 . When I got a job as a waitress at Olive Garden, I hadn’t waited tables for 13 years, and it was the only place that would hire me with an employment gap like that. For the first time in over a decade, I felt at my wit’s end in my freelance (自由职业) writing business for so long that I needed to get a part-time job for inspiration.

My first day of employment was a few weeks before Thanksgiving on my 37th birthday. At first, I was worried about whether I could still physically do the job. But Olive Garden made it easy to relearn serving. For not long, my arms got stronger, I mastered the pace and got used to the chaos and I made friends with my co-workers.

On Valentine’s Day, I was surprised by what I saw. That night, Olive Garden was a madhouse. A fight was about to break out in the kitchen. Instead of three or four tables in my section, I had more like nine. In the mid of all this chaos, I was struck with a deep sense of appreciation for what I was doing. Standing in that packed dining room, with my apron and name tag on, I saw myself in the guests — the big families getting together to celebrate love and the couples who were there on casual dates. It was a place of good memories.

After that, I have made a practice of getting inside others’ minds, asking myself what people might be experiencing when they are in a confused or bad state. And I have made it a personal challenge to make them happy. Later, I left when my writing work became stable again, however, the experience provides me with completely fresh perspectives towards life.

A．It’s lucky to get a job to support her writing.	B．It’s easy to serve the tables in Olive Garden.
C．It’s a chance to bridge the employment gap.	D．It’s challenging but she adapted to it quickly.

3. What happened on that Valentine’s Day in Olive Garden?

A．An awful fight occurred.	B．It was crowded with mad people.
C．It burst with many guests.	D．Some servers left for celebration.

4. What change did the experience bring to the writer?

A．She became more considerate.	B．She was better at making friends.

8 . If your friends are happy, it turns out that you’re more likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the likelihood that you’ll pack on pounds.     1    

The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million individuals worldwide who used an exercise tracking device for five years. They used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network. On average, fine days would encourage people to run more, rainy or cold days less.

Since different cities have different weather patterns, this natural experiment allowed them to ask: Did a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? If the weather in New York caused changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it could possibly happen through peer influences of the friends.    2     The behavior of one city’s runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city.

    3     Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around.    4    “We have to start thinking about consumers and citizens as networked consumers and citizens. Since they are easily influenced by and influence their social network in very strong and dynamic ways, it will change the way a particular intervention succeeds or fails.” Sinan Aral, the leading researcher said.

Or, let’s put it this way. Next time, the doctors recommend people to do more exercise.    5    

A．There were a few more findings.

B．That was exactly what the researchers saw.

C．More difficulties remained to be worked out.

D．They will tell the same to their friends and family, too.

E．The result provides some practical guidance for professionals.

F．Runners in one city would run as much as peers in another city.

G．Now researchers have identified another similar quality: exercise.
