Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.
When communicating with each other, cats "talk" with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech", act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voice only to express pain. Unbelievably, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal (声音的)expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats have developed this "language" to communicate with their human owners.
This fact is shown more clearly when researchers are watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. And when there is only one cat in the room, it is usually very vocal, since the only creature around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.
Since cats have learned to meow( 喵喵叫) for the only purpose of communicating with human owners, their owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat .wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little "conversation" , the relationship between cats and owners will be closer.
1.If a cat, together with other cats, finds its body hurts, it may express it with its _______.
A.tail B.eyes
C.head D.voice
2.When a human enters a room with some cats, what will they do?
A.Stop making any noise. B.Use their tails to show love.

3.What are cat owners advised to do?
A.Communicate more with cats. B.Learn to meow in different ways.
C.Encourage cats to talk with each other. D.Teach cats to understand human language.
4.What is the text mainly about? . .
A.The language of cats. B.Advice on keeping pets.
C.Pets* different expressions. D.Communication among cats.
Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams (阻塞)and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气).So the city began a scheme (计划)to improve the situation.
Under the Velib scheme ( “ Velib” comes from velo liberte, or “ bicycle freedom” ) people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you do not return it after 30 minutes , you have to pay. it's only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy(25 kg) , and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it is a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they wont use a bicycle - they'll still use their cars."
A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme will not settle all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There are not any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too."
1.What can we learn about the Velib scheme?
A.It owns more stations than the subway.
B.It aims to make traveling easier.
C.Its bikes are light and colorful.
D.Its bikes have no baskets.
2.If you use a Velib for one hour, how much should you pay?
A.€30. B.€30.
C.€ 29. D.€1.
3.Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?
A.The cost is rather high. ,
B.It is hard to find a Velib station.

4.What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?

1) Steve Jobs, Stanford University:
"The best way I know is to avoid the trap(困境)of thinking that you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions affect your own voice..."

4) Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin:
"Now it's time for you to move on to what's next and get what you want. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps.
