Cats love fish, but they hate water—these two commonly believed ideas seem to contradict (与……矛盾) each other. But do cats really hate water
Although furry cats at home can enjoy fish while staying clean and dry, wild cats are willing to get their paws wet to catch a tasty treat. This shows that it is a mistake to believe that all cats hate water, says Wailani Sung, a veterinary behaviorist (动物行为学家) from California. She explains that each cat is different—some cats like water, while others don’t. This is similar to dogs, according to Carlo Siracusa, another veterinary behaviorist. He points out that though many dogs like water, some dogs dislike water, just like cats.
One reason why people think cats dislike water is that most pet cats live indoors, while dogs are often taken outside. This gives dogs more chances to get used to water. Another reason is that most pet dogs are regularly washed, but cats usually clean themselves with their tongues—no water needed.
Though cats may avoid water, they have good reasons for doing so. Cats have special hairs on their bodies that help them feel the world around them, and getting these hairs wet may disturb (干扰) how they sense the environment. Wet fur can also make cats feel cold, as their fur helps keep them warm by trapping (锁住) air.
Cats, as prey animals, also avoid situations that seem dangerous or unpredictable. Even though they are skilled hunters, they can be vulnerable to other animals. This makes them uncomfortable in situations where they feel unsafe. Siracusa explains that cats usually dislike new things they cannot control. Being in water could be one of these things.
Since cats can clean themselves with their tongues, there is usually no need to worry if your cat avoids water. Healthy cats can take care of their own fur. Siracusa suggests that if you want to wash your cat, you should let them get used to water slowly, so the cat feels safe during the process.
House cats may need more encouragement to drink water. Over time, cats get used to getting most of their water from the food they eat, rather than having to find it in the dry environments in which they grow up. Siracusa suggests providing several water bowls around the house, with at least one placed away from the feeding area.
Using water to punish cats for bad behavior is not a good idea, no matter how the animal feels about water. Sung explains that our reaction is often too late for cats to understand, which can lead them to feel scared of their owners. Instead, Sung advises people to use positive ways like a reward.
49．Why does the writer mention dogs in Paragraph 2
A．To explain why cats tend to avoid water more often than dogs in everyday life.
B．To show animals of the same type can have different feelings towards water.
C．To suggest that dogs are usually given more chances to get used to water.
D．To tell that cats and dogs have some cleaning habits in common.
50．What does the phrase “be vulnerable to” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Be greatly supported by. B．Be deeply respected by.
C．Be easily harmed by. D．Be widely hated by.
51．What can we learn from the passage
A．Owners should let their cats get used to water quickly to feel safe.
B．Owners can improve cats’ behavior by punishing them with water.
C．Cats should depend on drinking water instead of getting it from their food.
D．Cats may avoid water because getting wet makes it hard for them to stay warm.
Here are three amazing animals. How much do you know about them 1. Black mamba
This dangerous snake lives in Africa. In fact, it isn’t black. Its body can be grey or dark brown. The inside of its mouth is dark blue, almost black. That’s how it got its name. As one of the fastest snakes in the world, it can move at a speed of up to 16 km/h!2. Golden poison frog
Deep in the darkest Colombian rainforest sits a little killer. It feeds on many kinds of insects. Like most poison dart frogs (箭毒蛙), the golden poison frog only uses its poison as a way to protect itself instead of killing other animals. Sadly, the number of these frogs is falling because people cut down trees, clear land for farming and so on.3. Proboscis monkey
Proboscis monkeys get the name from their long nose. They live on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia and usually live in groups. They can walk upright (直立地) through water. This is what makes them special. Although people are saving proboscis monkeys, there are fewer and fewer of them.

Homegrown Produce
You don’t need lots of space to grow produce. You can grow it in a pot or in a window box. It’s just as good and just as fresh.
You don’t have to wait for it to come on a boat or a plane for a long time. You can just go to your gardens and pick a load of fresh peppers or tomatoes anytime. Think about what you can do with your homegrown produce. You can roast it or toast it. You can bake it or put it in a pie. Anyway, you can cook it in any way you like.
Homegrown produce is fresh! Eating fresh produce is very important. You and your family can eat the green produce that you grow in the garden. That is good for your health.
But how do people have more fresh produce to eat Some people like a program called Plant a Row. Here is how this program works.
People in this program usually plant two or more rows of plants. They plant one row of beans for their family and they plant the other row to give to a food bank. If people don’t have enough food to eat, they can go to the food bank and get some food from others for free. Nowadays, some schools join the program. Students can grow their own produce at school. They will eat the fresh food, take some home and give some food to the food bank.
If your class plants a garden, you will need some useful tools. And your teacher may need to help you with the work. Take care of your garden and wait for the produce to grow. You will get more than you think.
Growing fresh produce is a big job. You must wait for it to grow. But don’t give up! People will thank you for helping them eat healthily.

Cats love fish, but they hate water—these two commonly believed ideas seem to contradict (与……矛盾) each other. But do cats really hate water
Although furry cats at home can enjoy fish while staying clean and dry, wild cats are willing to get their paws wet to catch a tasty treat. This shows that it is a mistake to believe that all cats hate water, says Wailani Sung, a veterinary behaviorist (动物行为学家) from California. She explains that each cat is different—some cats like water, while others don’t. This is similar to dogs, according to Carlo Siracusa, another veterinary behaviorist. He points out that though many dogs like water, some dogs dislike water, just like cats.
One reason why people think cats dislike water is that most pet cats live indoors, while dogs are often taken outside. This gives dogs more chances to get used to water. Another reason is that most pet dogs are regularly washed, but cats usually clean themselves with their tongues—no water needed.
Though cats may avoid water, they have good reasons for doing so. Cats have special hairs on their bodies that help them feel the world around them, and getting these hairs wet may disturb (干扰) how they sense the environment. Wet fur can also make cats feel cold, as their fur helps keep them warm by trapping (锁住) air.
Cats, as prey animals, also avoid situations that seem dangerous or unpredictable. Even though they are skilled hunters, they can be vulnerable to other animals. This makes them uncomfortable in situations where they feel unsafe. Siracusa explains that cats usually dislike new things they cannot control. Being in water could be one of these things.
Since cats can clean themselves with their tongues, there is usually no need to worry if your cat avoids water. Healthy cats can take care of their own fur. Siracusa suggests that if you want to wash your cat, you should let them get used to water slowly, so the cat feels safe during the process.
House cats may need more encouragement to drink water. Over time, cats get used to getting most of their water from the food they eat, rather than having to find it in the dry environments in which they grow up. Siracusa suggests providing several water bowls around the house, with at least one placed away from the feeding area.
Using water to punish cats for bad behavior is not a good idea, no matter how the animal feels about water. Sung explains that our reaction is often too late for cats to understand, which can lead them to feel scared of their owners. Instead, Sung advises people to use positive ways like a reward.
49．Why does the writer mention dogs in Paragraph 2
A．To explain why cats tend to avoid water more often than dogs in everyday life.
B．To show animals of the same type can have different feelings towards water.
C．To suggest that dogs are usually given more chances to get used to water.
D．To tell that cats and dogs have some cleaning habits in common.
50．What does the phrase “be vulnerable to” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Be greatly supported by. B．Be deeply respected by.
C．Be easily harmed by. D．Be widely hated by.
51．What can we learn from the passage
A．Owners should let their cats get used to water quickly to feel safe.
B．Owners can improve cats’ behavior by punishing them with water.
C．Cats should depend on drinking water instead of getting it from their food.
D．Cats may avoid water because getting wet makes it hard for them to stay warm.
Here are three amazing animals. How much do you know about them 1. Black mamba
This dangerous snake lives in Africa. In fact, it isn’t black. Its body can be grey or dark brown. The inside of its mouth is dark blue, almost black. That’s how it got its name. As one of the fastest snakes in the world, it can move at a speed of up to 16 km/h!2. Golden poison frog
Deep in the darkest Colombian rainforest sits a little killer. It feeds on many kinds of insects. Like most poison dart frogs (箭毒蛙), the golden poison frog only uses its poison as a way to protect itself instead of killing other animals. Sadly, the number of these frogs is falling because people cut down trees, clear land for farming and so on.3. Proboscis monkey
Proboscis monkeys get the name from their long nose. They live on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia and usually live in groups. They can walk upright (直立地) through water. This is what makes them special. Although people are saving proboscis monkeys, there are fewer and fewer of them.

The mother koala has a pocket in the front of her body. The baby goes into this warm pocket. There he stays for six months.
When the baby leaves the pocket, he has much fur. And he is about as big as your shoe. He climbs to his mother’s back. He rides there while she teaches him how to find food. Mrs. Koala is a loving mother. She takes good care of her baby. But when he is bad, she beats him! The baby cries just as a small child does. When he stops crying, she takes him in her arms. And then they both go to sleep for a while.
The koala could not live without a special kind of tree. The tree gives him both his home and his food. At night the koala looks for food. He may go miles to find it. He likes the leaves of the tree. He eats nothing else. And he eats more than two pounds each night!

Homegrown Produce
You don’t need lots of space to grow produce. You can grow it in a pot or in a window box. It’s just as good and just as fresh.
You don’t have to wait for it to come on a boat or a plane for a long time. You can just go to your gardens and pick a load of fresh peppers or tomatoes anytime. Think about what you can do with your homegrown produce. You can roast it or toast it. You can bake it or put it in a pie. Anyway, you can cook it in any way you like.
Homegrown produce is fresh! Eating fresh produce is very important. You and your family can eat the green produce that you grow in the garden. That is good for your health.
But how do people have more fresh produce to eat Some people like a program called Plant a Row. Here is how this program works.
People in this program usually plant two or more rows of plants. They plant one row of beans for their family and they plant the other row to give to a food bank. If people don’t have enough food to eat, they can go to the food bank and get some food from others for free. Nowadays, some schools join the program. Students can grow their own produce at school. They will eat the fresh food, take some home and give some food to the food bank.
If your class plants a garden, you will need some useful tools. And your teacher may need to help you with the work. Take care of your garden and wait for the produce to grow. You will get more than you think.
Growing fresh produce is a big job. You must wait for it to grow. But don’t give up! People will thank you for helping them eat healthily.
