We all like watching online videos of dogs and cats doing funny things. But if you had to decide, which of the two animals would you say you might like better? Your answer may say something about your personality.

According to a 2010 study led by Sam Gosling, a scientist at the University of Texas, US, dog people are about 15 percent more outgoing and 13 percent more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.

This is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes, they will give up the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like catching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog Magazine.

Although cat people are less social, Gosling’s study showed that they are 11 percent more open-minded than dog people. They usually like art, adventures(冒险) and unusual ideas. They also have more imagination and curiosity. But dog people are more likely to stick to old beliefs and traditional interests.

However, their love of a free lifestyle also means that cat people dislike making plans. They just follow whatever ideas pop into their heads without planning ahead. But dog people are different. They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.

Despite these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.

But can personality change? Can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? In a study done by Stanley Coren, a scientist based in Canada, he asked cat owners: “If you had enough living space and there were no objections from other people in your life, and someone gave you a puppy as a gift, would you keep it?”

About 68 percent of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. But when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten, almost 70 percent said they would allow a cat into their lives.

1.According to the article, dog people ________ cat people.

A. perform better in school than　　 B. are more open-minded than

C. have closer friends than　　　 D. are more traditional than

2.The underlined phrase “engage in” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

3. What do cat people and dog people have in common?　 --________.

A. Both of them like planning ahead

B. Both of them love travelling and adventures

C. Both of them are imaginative and curious

D. Both of them care about nature.

4.What can we know from the last two paragraphs?

In fact there are lots of videos of school bullying online every year. We feel angry with the bullies and sorry for the victims in fights and blackmails. Some middle schools and primary schools in some far counties and villages are the worst-hit parts. Nearly half the victims of bullying in middle schools choose to stay silent rather than ask for help or ways to solve the problem, China Youth Daily reported.
There is a study on junior middle school bullying made by the China Women’s University. It showed that 48.9 percent of the students never asked for help after being bullied. And the study also told us 52.6 percent kept silent because they were afraid of “losing face among schoolmates”.
The China Youth and Children Research Center made a survey of 5,864 primary and middle school percent of students suffered bullying, while 6.1 percent were often bullied by senior schoolmates.
Cases of violence between boys and girls totaled 85 percent of all school bullying, the report said. Violence between girls accounted for as much as 32.5percent of the total. Unlike direct arguments usually seen between boys, the violence　 between girls more often took the form of insults, which terribly caused victims have strong feelings, it was added.
A study published by the Beijing High People’s Court showed that 68 percent of offenders attacked their schoolmates in a cruel manner and nearly 60 percent of school violence cases were caused by small matters, Legal Daily said.
Earlier, Tang Jun of Renmin University of China told reporters that the social risks of school bullying have been given too little care. We should train our teachers to deal with school bullying, improve their skills of preventing it, and help the victim students to recover physically and mentally. At the same time, students and their parents should know the school’s rules about bullying and what they should do if it happens. Second, children should be taught to stand up for themselves. They should try to solve problems by talking them out. Children should tell someone if they are being picked on. Third, parents should look for warning signs of bullying. We must pay more attention to it and try our best to solve it.
1.Why did so many victims choose to keep silent after being bullied?
A. They seem to get over easily.
B. Their parents don’t care them.
C. There is no use to tell the teacher.
D. They don’t want to lose their faces.
2.What does the word insult mean?
A. laugh at　　 B. cheat　　 C. argue　　 D. agree
3.This passage is written to tell us that_______.
A. Middle School Life.
B. How to get along with others?
C. The Bullying in Middle School.
D. The relationship between middle students .
4.What should you do if school bullying happens to you?

We always regard dogs as man’s best friends. But what about cats?

Cats can also do us a favor sometimes.

Here is a comparison of the two animals.

A Friend Helps You When You’re Sick

Dogs	When Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest. That’s when Catherine felt a pain that made her visit a doctor, and a fast-growing cancer was found. Months later, however, Pepe started staring and sniffing again. It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread.
Cats	Alana immediately finds a chair when Tee sits and stares directly into her face. That’s because Tee is warning her that she is about to faint(昏倒), which can happen as often as three times a day. But Alana won’t get hurt if she sits down. Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers.
