A Russian legend has a story about the origins of cats. The cat’s coat, it was said, was originally designed for the dog, but the dog became so impatient when coats
were being handed out that he was told to wait at the back of the queue. The cat was given the fur instead of the dog. This, according to Russian folk storied, is the origin of why dogs dislike cats.
A nameless cat with a taste for travel flew for three weeks between New York and Tel Aviv in 1984. It escaped from its owner’s cat-box in the plane’s luggage compartment(行李仓)on the first trip and all efforts to get it out with bowls of milk and food failed. After nearly 80,000 miles of flying the airline called in a vet who got it out.
The Chinese attitude to the cat was not clear. Cats were welcome for their ability to kill mice and were considered suitable pets for women. On the other hand, they were suspected of bring bad luck into the home. In the days before the invention of the watch, it was said that they used their cats as clocks. The pupils(瞳孔)of the cat’s eyes were believed to gradually change shape with the position of the sun in the sky. At midday they were a narrow line and they gradually became rounder until sunset.
Britain’s cleanest cat is undoubtedly Harvey, a five-month-old Persian who climbed into his owner’s washing machine. He went through a ten-minute wash cycle before someone noticed him through the glass door, and pressed the “stop” button. Harvey was soon back to his usual self.
Cats seem to be able to sense earthquakes. Josie, who lives in California, warned her family of a quake in 1971.
She wore her owners. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, at 5:50am by jumping onto the bed and running around. When the Miller followed her out of the house, Josie ran off. The earthquake was only a small one, but the cat raised the alarm every time there was a quake after that.
21. From the Russian legend we know the dog_____. A. sees the cat his friend. B. received the fur coat. C. disliked the fur D. got punished by God
22. Which of the following shows it is sometime in the afternoon according to the Chinese belief?
23. Which of the following correctly matches the picture to the paragraph which describes the event?
A. Picture a)---Paragraph 1 B. Picture b)---Paragraph3 C. Picture c)---Paragraph 5 D. Picture d)---Paragraph 4
B
Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands”. Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse”. He is said to be “undersized”, with “short legs” and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description-it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts: other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose-and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar (沙皇) ,who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry: doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is
