13、d have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowin
14、g to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled together, were five frightened kittens . They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.I wanted to find the mother cat. It was obviously that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies

21、wimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years i a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?If your fingers wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldnt need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC
22、News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or o the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.To test this, researcher
23、s asked 20 people to pick up marbles from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were
24、 asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not.Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say.S
25、imilarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestors need to run on wet ground.But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why dont our hands just stay that way all the time?

29、hild is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original
30、state after the wind had died down.When I think about the bamboo trees ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were
31、going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you clos

35、haracteristics of BambooD Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact(接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable? Its all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around
36、 the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you fee
37、l angry. Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for s
38、ome extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food. Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers. Go and watch a library table. You wi
39、ll notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.

44、our personal space wont be violated.C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.四，阅读表达（1×5）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容在在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。每空一词。How important is music? When they are asked this question,
45、 students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Music r
46、eflects the creators thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American be
47、cause it came from American musical traditions.Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets.

It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas
