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 peoples understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey(调查) on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-colored (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-colored (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they dont 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 dont think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You cant judge a cat by its color, because its the personality of the cat, not the color, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.（1）Many people in Western countries may think black cats are _. A . lovely animalsB . a sign of bad luckC . a sign of good luckD . unfriendly animals（2）The main idea of paragraph 2 is that _. A . people often complain(抱怨) about black cats on the InternetB . people think cats of different colors have different personalitiesC . black cats are less popular than other catsD . the study is a great success（3）According to the study, people think that_. A . black cats have special personalitiesB . orange and bi-colored cats are generousC . cats with three colors are friendlyD . white cats are calm, lazy and shy（4）People dont like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT _. A . black cats often appear in TV showsB . black cats bring bad luck to peopleC . black cats have bad reputationsD . they dont think black cats are beautiful（5）The passage mainly talks about _. A . why black cats are popular in moviesB . why people are not willing to keep black cats as petsC . different color cats have different personalitiesD . different people have different ideas on black cats四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共10分)29. （10分）根据短文内容，完成下列表格。Some birthday customs（习惯） are quite similar（相似） in many parts of the world- birthday candles, birthday games，and birthday cakes.
