The earliest evidence for humancat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus（史前塞浦路斯）, where the remains of a wild cat and a human dated 9,500 years old were found buried together. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a humandomestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300 years ago. Researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China. By using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site. The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of milletbased food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally, said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” Hu explains. Since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat. Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them pets could be answered by other evidence. Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with. The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. Cats were attracted to the rats, and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.【小题1】The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means . A. human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years agoB. human interacted with cats very earlyC. cats didnt appear until prehistoric Cyprus D. when cats became domesticated 【小题2】Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may also study .A. the preventions of pests from grains B. the history of Chinese farmingC. the dogs and pigs D. the ways to keep pets【小题3】Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms keeping cats? A. Cats didnt feed on meat. B. The cats consumed large amounts of milletbased foods. C. One of the cats survived to reach old age. D. Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.【小题4】What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats? A. Helping keep other domesticated animals. B. Not letting cats eat food.C.
