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 on the Internet. There were 49 statements（描述）matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured（双色的）cats are friendly, tri-coloured（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 colour, because it's the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you," Cathy Marden, a scientist said.

According to scientists' research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways.
Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius （Jan.21st-Feb.19th） may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother’s exposure（暴露）to sunlight in pregnancy（怀孕）. Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health.
Vitamin D is called the "sunshine vitamin". It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.
Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, "These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth."
（ B ）9. A child's season of birth can affect all the following things EXCEPT _____ according to the first two paragraphs.
A. his health B. his height C. his length of life D. his quality of being clever
（ A ）10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Women should get enough sunlight in pregnancy.
B. Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born in autumn.
C. People born in May will live longer than those born in October.
D. Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them.
（ C ）11. What does the passage mainly tell us
A. People can know the length of life by star sign.
B. Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.
C. A child’s season of birth has an effect on him or her.
D. Vitamin D is very important to people’s health.

Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendships. No relationship can last long without trust. 1 Sometimes, it takes years, even a whole life to make it. We certainly know who are the people we trust. However, how do we know if others trust us
2 You may first like to talk to the friends you trust most. It is the same with your friends.
Whom do you ask for advice when you need it most Either your parents or your friends may first come into your mind. You only ask people you really trust for advice. You know they will never pass on a wrong suggestion And so do they. 3
Different ideas and discussions are a part of every relationship, and this is also true for friendships.
Actually, two people can't always have the same opinions on a situation and they may share different suggestions. Sometimes some people find it hard to forgive（原谅）and forget. 4 It is because they trust you and believe that you will never cause any pain for them on purpose（故意）.
There are times in life when you find yourself a lonely soldier. 5 Your friends will never let you down and will strongly stand for you when you need encouragement. If they side with you when you need them the most, you can know that they trust you.
