In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cat’s ears were folded, bent forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the "Scottish Fold(蘇格蘭折耳貓)".
The Scottish Fold has a round head and large eyes. Its neck and legs are short, which makes it look very cute. Interestingly, all the Scottish Folds are born with straight and unfolded ears. And when they are growing up day by day, some cats’ ears will begin to fold. So, the Scottish Fold comes in two types: folded ears and straight ears.
Besides, there is a nickname for the Scottish Fold. It is the " Messenger of Peace". Why?
Because the Folds are sweet and friendly animals. They can get along well with other cats. And
unlike some other cats, they can even get along well with dogs! In many different environments, such as at a noisy house, or in a cat show, you can see them playing with other animals happily.
Well, when you come to a new school, do you think it’s difficult to adapt to the new environment? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold. That is: always be sweet and friendly to others.

A．is born with folded earsB．is born with straight ears
C．a(chǎn)lways has folded earsD．a(chǎn)lways has straight ears
小題2: What does the Scottish Fold look like?

A．Because their ears are folded.
B．Because they look very cute.

小題4: According to the passage, what is the writer’ s suggestion to us when we are in a new
environment?
A．We should have a nickname.B．We should learn from the cats.
C．We should get along well with dogs.D．We should always be sweet and friendly to others.

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising there are many expressions about cats. Do you know any of them? Now let me introduce some to you.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that ate the canary.
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer something sweet to her little brother, and then take it away when reaches for it.
A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying that looks like something the cat dragged in describes something in bad condition.
A fat cat is a person with a lot of money.

For the British, the home is private place in which he or she goes to hide away from the troubles of life. It is very seldom that one would be invited to a British person’s home. It is rude to knock on a person’s door if you are not invited. If you are invited, don’t ask to see more than the downstairs that your British host invites you into. Never ask how much the house or any of the items in if cost.
To the American, most of them want their home to be a place where they can entertain (款待) and share their lives with their friends. They may be delighted to give you a full tour of their houses. They may also be pleased when you show your interest and pleasure in their houses.
Both British and American people will engage in quite a bit of chat and a drink or two before the meal is served. After the first mouthful, you should say how delicious the food is and ask something about it. Remember, never eat with your mouth open and make very little noise while eating. It would be nice of you to help your host in any way. Maybe offer to pour some drinks or clear up after the meal.

Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
● Soap           ● Water          ● Your hands!
WHAT TO DO:
1. Make sure your hands are dry.
2. Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.
3. Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的).
4. Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.
5. Please write down what has happened.
LET’S TALK!
Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
2. Ancient people made fires by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.
        ?       
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not too hot, touch the tires (輪胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.
根據(jù)表格內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
小題1: You’d better make your hands                 to get heat when you rub them.
A．slipperyB．dryC．wetD．smooth
小題2: What does the word “friction” in this text mean in Chinese?
A．摩擦B．冷卻C．膨脹D．震動
小題3:                        is NOT an example of friction.
A．Bike ridingB．Car drivingC．Hands rubbingD．Friction discovering
小題4: What’s the last column (欄目)?
A．THINK IT OVER!B．WHAT HAPPENED?
C．EVERYDAY ACTION:D．WORK WITH PARENTS!
小題5:This text is most probably                         .

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families.
There is another difficult point for us to understand. Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take a day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America. Americans cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.
For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!
小題1: The underlined phrase "pick up" in Paragraph 1may mean "_________________".
A．put downB．give upC．pay no attention toD．continue
小題2: From the passage, we can know_________________.
A．Americans are always generous with their time.
B．Americans don’t feel hurt if their friendships disappear soon.
C．Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.
D．Chinese friendships develop faster than American friendships.
小題3:This passage is most probably written for __________________.
A．American studentsB．Chinese students
C．Chinese visitors to AmericaD．American visitors to China
