Cats are often considered lazy.　 They love napping( 打 盹 ) on their own comfortable　 beds.However, as Gary the cat shows us, some kittens also love adventure.

Gary is a five-year-old long-haired cat. He goes on camping trips in the Rockies(落基山脉) with his owners every weekend. The cat has his own social media page. He can often be seen exploring snowy peaks( 高 峰 ) in a warm jacket. The cat also enjoys taking pictures with his dog brothers.

James Eastham is Gary’s “dad” and his social media manager. Eastham met Gary when the cat was about two years old. It turned out that Gary was born with an interest in exploring the　 great outdoors. He would manage to escape from Eastham’s apartment several times every month. Eastham and his wife then started to take Gary out for walks.

Shortly after that, the Easthams moved to the mountains. Slowly, Gary went on bigger and bigger　 adventures. He started with the family’s yard and then parks. As Gary became more comfortable outside, his owners took him on trips to more distant(遥远的) places and for longer periods of time. Eventually, Gary was ready for the mountains and all the fun outdoor activities. This past winter, Gary even tried skiing for the first time.

When he is　 tired, Gary will just “hitch　 a ride( 搭便车)” on his owners.“These days, he prefers to ride on my shoulders instead of in his pack,” said Eastham.

According to Eastham, outdoor adventures seem to have been good for Gary. The cat used to be shy. Now, he has become much more confident around strangers. “He has even gotten friendlier,” said Eastham.

Gary has become one of the most famous cats on the internet. However, it seems the fame hasn’t gone to his head. “Gary is still a cat,” said Eastham. “It mostly only cares about having enough treats(美餐) every day.”

Lots of people love to keep pets, but they don’t know how to communicate with their pets. Are you one of the pet keepers? If your answer is “yes”, here are some suggestions for you.

1.Talk with your pet.

Although your pet may not exactly understand your words, he can at least pick up on the tone of your words and your body language when you talk to him. For example, if you speak with him in a stern voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior.

2.Use non-verbal(非语言的) communication.

Your non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is often used in training your pet to do a certain activity. For example, if you are sitting on your horse, you would use your legs and hands to command your horse to turn around. When you teach your dog to sit, you would actually combine verbal and non-verbal communication (hand signals) to give him the ‘sit’ command.

3.Avoid punishing your pet.

Punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet fearful of you and possibly lose trust and respect that he has for you. What’s more, some pets, like cats, do not necessarily make the connection between your punishment and the behavior you are punishing them for.

1.The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “stern” in this passage is probably“________”.

A.和善的 B.严厉的 C.柔和的 D.耐心的

2.You can use your________to command your horse to turn around.

A.legs and hands B.arms and feet C.leg and feet D.arms and hands

3.What can we know from the passage?

A.The writer tells us four suggestions in the passage.

B.The writer doesn’t mention “horse” in the passage.

C.The writer thinks it necessary to punish pets.

D.Your pet cat doesn’t understand why you punish him.

4.In which part of a magazine can we read the passage?

A.Animal World. B.Animal Stories. C.Body Languages. D.Body Parts.

5.The best title of the passage may be “________”.

A.How to Talk with Pets B.How to Take Care of Pets

C.How to Communicate with Pets D.How to Train Dogs and Cats

What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.

The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey(调查) on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-colored (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-colored (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.

But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.

Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its color, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the color, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.
