21、Looking for a place to take a rest, sip a cup of coffee and have a fluffy (毛茸茸的) companion? Welcome to animal-themed cafes. In recent years, the combination of pets and catering (餐饮) has become incredibly popular in many cities throughout China. While many cafes started out offering the company of cats and dogs, others are expanding their range. Some cafes include animals like squirrels, raccoons and even capybaras (水豚).

In reviews, internet users have commented that one of their main reasons for visiting these businesses is to interact closely with animals they have only seen from afar.

“The customers love animals. They are curious about these pets and want to raise one at home, but circumstances don’t allow it,” said pet cafe owner Tian Xuhui.

Liu Wan, a Beijing resident who works in finance, loves pigs, but her parents would not approve of her getting one as a pet. The 24-year-old had to admire the animals through videos and images. But now, she can have a close encounter with an adorable (可爱的) pig every weekend in a pet cafe.

Also, these pet cafes serve as a haven (安全处所) for those who find comfort in being around animals. “In this place, you can get close to the cute little ones in a very comfortable way without having to worry about safety and hygiene (卫生)—overall, it is an extremely comfortable experience,” said Xiao Ou, 30, a frequent pet cafe visitor.

Animal lovers also expect the pet cafes to change people’s attitudes toward pets.

Animals like ducks, pigs and sheep have been served as food for many years. People hardly see them as pets. But the pet cafes help shift their attitude from seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends.

“Whether at home or in stores, these little animals are there for companionship and they bring warmth to our hearts. They care and understand just like family members. They give us much more than the love we give to them,” Xiao said.

23、In the universe, as we know, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes round the sun, and the moon goes round the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is the day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is the night.

Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

The sun is bright enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. The reason they look smaller than the moon is also because they are farther away from the earth.

There are still many other planets in the universe. But of all these planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9: 00 a. m. on October 15th 2003, Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.

24、Does handwriting matter (要紧)? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare (宣布) handwriting is not important. New evidence (证据) shows that the link (联系) between handwriting and educational development is deep.

Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters—but how.

A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children did not learn to read and write. They were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the picture on a page but with a dotted outline (虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner (扫描) and showed them the picture again.

It was found that when children drew a picture freehand (徒手画) without a dotted outline or a computer, the activities in three areas of the brain increased (增加). These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. Children chose the other two ways and they showed no such result. Dr. James attributes (归咎于) the differences to the process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

It’s time for educators to change their minds and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

【1】What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

A．Handwriting is not very important to children.

B．Handwriting has nothing to do with educational development.

C．Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

D．Handwriting actually matters at present.

【2】What does “that view” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．How we write is as important as what we write.

B．Children create ideas and remember information.

C．A group of students should know what to write.

D．Children read quickly when they write by hand.

【3】Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment (实验)?

A．Copy the picture on a page but with a dotted outline.

B．Draw the picture on a place of white paper.

C．Put a brain scanner and show the picture again.

D．Type the picture on a computer.

【4】According to the passage, the writer ________ handwriting.

A．agrees to give up

B．refuses to give up

C．doesn’t care about

D．doesn’t think highly of
