It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didnt know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path (路径).In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil (土壤) from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they cannot get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons (毒药)to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.（1）We can learn from the passage that _. A . kudzu mostly grows in the northern AmericaB . kudzu was brought to Japan from AmericaC . kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weatherD . American government has never supported to plant kudzu（2）The underlined word tough in Paragraph 4 probably means _.

On a freezing January morning 29 years ago, Vicki Myron opened the library in Spencer, Iowa. She heard a cat cry and finally found a yellow kitten(小猫) in a pile of books.His little feet were frozen, Myron recalls. We gave him a bath just to warm him up and he purred(咕噜叫) the whole time. That was 1988 and it was a Cinderella story for Dewey, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since.His story has a life of its own, Myron says while reading the cats fan mail. We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Dewey. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him.Shortly after the kittens rescue, a photo of the librarys new employee sitting on the card catalog(目录) appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to help name the kitten and many cast votes(投票).We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasnt even a prize, Myron says with a laugh.Dewey grew from a popular local library employee to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 125 libraries across America. Most live and work in comfortable, small town libraries where they dont get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more white-collar duties: to act charming and make the library a pleasant homey place.Library cats just create a nice , warm atmosphere(气氛),says Gary Roma, producer of Puss in Boots , the film about library cats. The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe cant have pets in their apartments, Roma says.
