People can find bears in many places in the world. They have large bodies, thick legs but short tails. Bears not only eat meat, they almost eat everything. Bears are not so dangerous as people think them to be. Bears are very brave. Many hunters were killed by bears when they wanted to kill bears.
Bears have very good smell but very poor eyesight. So they usually find something with their noses, not with their eyes. Bears are cleverer than most other animals because they can think of something. They can also walk only with their “feet”. They are our friends. We should try our best to protect them.

If you have a cat in your house, you may think that cats have one character. But if you deal with enough cats, you’ll find that cats, like people, have different character types (性格类型).
The researchers carried out a questionnaire survey (问卷调查) asking 138 questions. They were posted on the Internet and filled out by the cats’ owners. The questionnaire asked people to fill out their cat’s sex (性别), age, breed (品种), coat color, and main activity. The researchers asked the cats’ owners to fill out the questionnaire a second time after some time.
From these, the researchers drew a conclusion: there are seven character types of cats. For example, active, fearful (害怕的), friendly to human and so on. “The most fearful breed was the Russian Blue. The Bengal (孟加拉猫) was the most active breed,” says a scientist Hannes Lohi of the University of Helsinki.
In addition, Oregon State University researchers found that cats really love their owners. They see them as parents. They simply express (表达) it differently. When the researchers did the experiment with a group of fully grown cats, they found cats showed as much love to their owners as human babies, and maybe even a little more than dogs.
What’s more, people often think cats are independent animals, but a study has found that this is not true.
19．How did the researchers find the different character types of cats
A．They did a lot of experiments. B．They asked the cats’ owners to tell them.
C．They asked questions on the phone. D．They carried out a questionnaire survey.
20．What does the underlined word “it” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Love to their owners. B．Fear to other animals.
C．Kindness to other cats. D．Cats’ special character.
21．Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．The Russian Blue is an active breed. B．Cats aren’t independent animals.
C．There are three character types of cats. D．Cats showed as much love to the owners as dogs.
22．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Cats’ Different Character Types B．Relationship Between Cats and Human
C．Cats’ Character Types and Natural Character D．Different Breeds of Cats in the World
C
OrangutansOrangutans are nature lovers. They like hanging out in the tree. They spend most of their time in the tree. They sleep and eat in their nests (巢). The nests are big enough for even a 10-year-old kid to play in.
PigsPigs may not look so cute when they find mud (泥) holes.They like playing in the mud—it is like their natural playground. And when it is hot, they stay in the mud to cool themselves. They don’t care how dirty they get.

①It is very cold in winter in some places. Snow and ice cover the ground. It is hard for animals to find food during these cold days. They get through the hard time in many ways.
②Some birds fly to other places. Many of them leave before winter comes. They travel to warm places and come back in spring. We call it migration (迁徙). It’s a good way for them to get away from the cold weather.
③Another good way to get through winter is sleeping. Some animals, such as snakes and bears, hide (隐藏) themselves in safe places and sleep through the whole winter. We call it hibernation (冬眠).
④Some animals, like squirrels (松鼠), ★ lots of food in their homes before winter. When it gets cold, they stay indoors and hardly go out.
⑤Other animals have to live in the cold winter. Some animals have thick fur (皮毛) to keep warm in winter while some change the colour of the fur. Arctic foxes are brown in summer but their fur turns white in winter.
27．Which of the following animals travel to other places before winter
A．Foxes. B．Squirrels. C．Bears. D．Birds.

Plants: more than we thought
Plants are amazing! In the past, there were some ideas that plants had feelings and could act like people. But now, new studies show that plants are unusual in their own ways.
Protecting (保护) themselves
One way is how plants protect themselves. For example, when worms eat them, tomato plants can make their leaves taste bad with a special juice. This can even make the worms eat each other! Corn (玉米) plants can check what worms leave behind and then use that information to call a bee to hunt the worms.
Plant communication
Plants can also talk to each other. They mainly use special air. There are small openings on plants that look like little fish mouths under a microscope. These openings let out air with information. When a plant has problems, like being eaten or hurt by wind, it sends a “call”. Other plants close to it can get this “call” and get ready to stay safe.
Plant memory
Do plants have memory One example is the “memory of winter”. Many fruit trees need to “remember” the number of cold days in winter to blossom in spring. They remember the cold and warm days to stop flowering too early during a warm time in winter.
Now, when we look at plants in a park, we can think of them as little “strangers” (陌生人) with their own “stories” going on all around. We don’t know if they feel pain (疼痛), but they sense touch or respond to being eaten, even though they don’t feel pain like we do.
31．What can tomato plants do when worms eat them
32．What do plants mainly use to talk to each other
33．Why do plants remember the cold and warm days in winter
34．What’s the main idea of the passage
35．How do you usually look after the amazing plants around us
