Although cats may be one of the most popular pets today, little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship.

The earliest evidence for human–cat 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 human–domestic 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 millet–based food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (嚙齒動物) 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 (害獸) 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.

1.The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means .

A．human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years ago

B．human interacted with cats very early

C．cats didn’t appear until prehistoric Cyprus

D．when cats became domesticated

2.Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may also study .

A．the preventions of pests from grains

B．the history of Chinese farming

C．the dogs and pigs

D．the ways to keep pets

3.Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms’ keeping cats?

A．Cats didn’t feed on meat.

B．The cats consumed large amounts of millet–based foods.

C．One of the cats survived to reach old age.

D．Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.

4.What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats?

A．Helping keep other domesticated animals.

B．Not letting cats eat food.

C．Supplying meat for human.

D．Helping reduce the amount of pests.

5.In which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .

A．Entertainment B．Environment

C．Human and Science D．Life and fashion

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。

It is said that the eyes are the windows of our soul. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.

Pay more attention to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes the eye muscles（肌肉）and gives them the rest required. Sleep not only helps the body to repair its tired tissues (組織). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) yours eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many unnoticeable and wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can cause damage（傷害） to your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
