I started in on Winn-Dixie right away, trying to clean him. First, I gave him a bath. The whole time I was working on him, I was talking to him. And he listened. I told him how we were alike. “See,” I said, “you don’t have any family and neither do I. I’ve got the preacher, of course. But I don’t have a mama. I mean I have one, but I don’t know where she is. She left when I was three years old. I can’t hardly remember her. And I bet you don’t remember your mama much either. So we’re almost like orphans (孤儿).”

Winn-Dixie looked straight at me when I said that to him, like he was feeling relieved to finally have somebody understand his situation. I nodded my head at him and went on talking.

“I don’t even have any friends, because I had to leave them all behind when we moved here from Watley. Watley’s up in north Florida. Have you ever been to north Florida?”

Winn-Dixie looked down at the ground, like he was trying to remember if he had. “You know what?” I said. “Ever since we moved here, I’ve been thinking about my mama extra-extra hard, more than I ever did when I was in Watley.”

Winn-Dixie twitched (抽动) his ears and raised his eyebrows.

“I think the preacher thinks about my mama all the time, too. He’s still in love with her; I know that. He’s still hoping she’ll come back. But he doesn’t tell me that. He won’t talk to me about her at all. I want to know more about her. But I’m afraid to ask the preacher; I’m afraid he’ll get mad at me.”

Winn-Dixie looked at me hard, like he was trying to say something.

“What?” I said.

He stared at me.

“You think I should make the preacher tell me about her?”

Winn-Dixie still looked at me. “I’ll think about it,” I said.

7 . A simple haircut can be a major stress or for someone with cognitive or physical disabilities. Loud noises from hair dryers and strong smells can trigger a person with autism (自闭症), and just getting in the door can be tough for anyone in a wheelchair. But one Minnesota stylist is looking to change that by opening an accessible salon.

With a nine-year-old stepdaughter, Maddy, who uses a wheelchair because of spina-bifida (脊柱裂), Cat Rongitsch knows firsthand how inaccessible spaces like hair salons can be. “We’ve been dragged through back doors or expected to carry her down stairs or use freight elevators because they’re not prepared to accommodate her,” says Rongitsch, who also has a three-year-old daughter who might have high-functioning autism, though she hasn’t been tested yet.

Rongitsch already makes haircut house calls to kids who find traditional salons stressful. “Everyone is desperate for a safe place that will not be a crazy meltdown experience, and oftentimes that means calling down to someone’s house,” she says. “Going anywhere else seems unimaginable.” But Rongitsch dreams of a place where anyone can feel safe and comfortable getting a haircut outside the home.

Rongitsch is making plans to open Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota. The doors and walkways would have plenty of room for wheelchairs, and textured floors would make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate.

A spa-like atmosphere at Dignified Beauty would be less triggering to people with autism. Loud top-40 hits would be replaced with soft classical music (if anything). Stylists would use quiet hair dryers and soft voices. Fidget toys (解压玩具) and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Safe spaces would be available if anyone felt overwhelmed by sound, smell, or touch.

As for the staff, Rongitsch would look to hire people with “a heart full of love for each individual,” she says. Stylists would learn how to handle customers who don’t like others touching their hair. They would also give every client the same level of dignity, which is particularly important to Rongitsch, who’s seen strangers ignore Maddy. “They’re not sure if it’s a physical disability or mental disability loo, so they will talk to me and not her,” says Rongitsch. “That issue is the biggest with her: just being acknowledged as a person.”

1. What can we know about Rongitsch from the first 3 paragraphs?

A．She has a nine-year-old daughter who uses a wheelchair.

B．She sometimes calls on at someone’s house to make haircuts.

C．She owns an available Dignified Beauty in St. Paul, Minnesota.

D．Her daughter has been diagnosed with high-functioning autism.

2. What service can people with autism enjoy at Dignified Beauty?

A．Passionate music.

B．Devices for relieving stress.

C．Immoderate equipment.

D．Thrilling movies with tense plots.

3. Which of the following best describes Rongitsch?

A．Positive and selfless.

B．Elegant and ambitious.

C．Optimistic and devoted.

D．Considerate and insightful.

4. What can be the suitable title for the text?

A．Rongitsch — A Kindhearted Stylist with Love for Individual

B．People with Disabilities Deserve Dignity as Healthy People

C．A Salon Accessible to People with Disabilities to Be Opened by a Woman

D．Rongitsch and Her disabled Daughters Long for Being Acknowledged as a Person

10 . While you’re hiding away the Christmas presents, animals are storing food for the winter! Many animals “cache” (贮藏) or hide food for time to come, similar to how we stock our pantries with food. In the winter months, caching allows animals to survive when food is scarce.

Some animals, such as bobcats and mountain lions, leave dead animals’ bodies for short periods of time buried beneath surrounding vegetation. Other animals, such as rodents and birds, store seeds for long periods of time in places they’ll return to weeks or even months later.

Hiding food throughout an animal’s home range is known as scatter hoarding. This keeps the caches low and less enticing to any potential thieves. However, this technique requires a good memory, as the food is often in dozens, if not hundreds, of different locations.

Another caching technique involves animals collecting food in only a couple of places, referred to as larder hoarding. These caches are often found in cavities such as a hollow tree or a hole in the ground. They are easier to find but require lots of defensive measures.

Here are some of the animals that cache in the Peach State:

Birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, titmice and jays can store hundreds of seeds in a single day. Each seed is placed in a different location, and they usually remember where each is, even months later. Flying squirrels store a variety of seeds, nuts and acorns in their nests and in trees. These nocturnal squirrels will even bury seeds in the ground. It is believed that a single lying squirrel can store over 15,000 seeds in a year! Moles trap live earthworms underground. The mole bites the earthworm’s head off, and colder temperatures slow the earthworm down. If the weather warms up before the mole has a chance to consume its prey, however, earthworms can regrow their heads and tunnel their way to freedom.

B．It is time-saving and eco-friendly.

C．It can easily ensure caches’ safety.

D．It bring animals convenience as well as risk.

4. What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Moles take earthworms as their only food resource.

B．Chickadees adopt scatter hoarding to store their seeds.

C．A flying squirrel is better at storing seeds than any bird.

D．Earthworms have no chance of survival once bitten by moles.
