In 1961, a man found a strange cat on his farm in Scotland. The cats ears were folded (折着的), bent (弯曲) forward, on its head. In fact, this was a new kind of cat. People named it the “Scottish Fold”.The Scottish Fold has a round head and big eyes. Its neck and legs are short. They make it look very lovely. 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.There is a nickname（昵称）for the Scottish Fold. It is the “Messenger(信使）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 places, for example, 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 its difficult to feel comfortable in the new place? Perhaps you can learn from the Scottish Fold, which is always sweet and friendly to others.26.

Its neck and legs are long.C. It doesnt look very lovely.D. It has a round head and big eyes.28. Why do people name the Folds “Messenger of Peace”?A. Because their ears are folded. B. Because they look very cute.C. Because they can get on well with other animals.D. Because they can stay at a noisy house or in a cat show.29.

He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps(脚步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!31. What did the boy do on the street? A. He sold his old hat. B.

C. He changed the words on the sign. D. He asked other people to help the blind boy.33. What does the underlined word recognized mean? A. 辨认出 B. 看到C. 承认 D. 注意到34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The man did nothing to help the blind boy except changing the words on the sign.B. Before the man changed the words, the hat had been full.C. Without the mans help, the blind boy couldnt get so much money.D. The kind man was very thankful to the blind boy.35.
