evidence for humancat interaction dates back to prehistoric cyprus（史前塞浦路斯）, where the remains of a wild cat and a human dated 9,500 years old were found buried together. a new study in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a humandomestic cat relationship among chinese farmers 5,300 years ago. researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in central china. by using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site. the most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of milletbased food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (嚙齒動(dòng)物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally, said hu yaowu from the chinese academy of sciences in beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.it is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” hu explains. since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. the researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat. why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them pets could be answered by other evidence. chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents a vermin (害獸) that cats could certainly have helped with. the simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. cats were attracted to the rats, and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.【小題1】the evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric cyprus means . a. human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years agob. human interacted with cats very earlyc. cats didnt appear until prehistoric cyprus d. when cats became domesticated 【小題2】apart from cats, hu yaowu and his teams may also study .a. the preventions of pests from grains b. the history of chinese farmingc. the

foods. c. one of the cats survived to reach old age. d. some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.【小題4】what are the reasons for farmers to keep cats? a. helping keep other domesticated animals. b. not letting cats eat food.c. supplying meat for human. d. helping reduce the amount of pests. 【小題5】in which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .a.

was growing up, i had an old neighbor named doctor gibbs. he didnt look like any doctor id ever known. he never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind. when doctor gibbs wasnt saving lives, he was planting trees. he had some interesting theories about planting trees. he believed in the principle: no pain, no gain. he hardly watered his new trees, an attitude which flew in the face of conventional wisdom. once i asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. he said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. he talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. so, instead of watering his trees every morning, hed beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. i asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the trees attention. doctor gibbs died a couple of years after i left home. every now and then, i walked by his house and looked at the trees that id watched him plant some 25 years ago. they were tall and strong. i planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. adversity seemed to benefit doctor gibbs trees in ways comfort and ease never could. every night before i go to bed, i check on my two sons. i often pray that their lives will be easy. but lately ive been thinking that its time to change my prayer. i know my children are going to encounter hardship. theres always a cold wind blowing somewhere. what we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we wont be torn apart.31. with the trees planted, doctor

made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could. one day, when she announced to attend lessons at the fred astaire dance studio in portland, oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did. many years filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma. i suppose grandmas primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social. she had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpas quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance. dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning. although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any miss american competitor. having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the northwest. when i was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the red
