In most parts of Britain, the black cat is a symbol of good luck and owning a black cat may bring good luck to the family. But recently, black cats can no longer enjoy so much favor.
The British Royal for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (英国防止虐待动物协会) announced a rise in the number of black cats being abandoned by their owners, due to not looking good in selfies(自拍). According to the RSPCA, more than 70 percent of the cats in its care are black. The biggest reason for that is black cats tend not to photograph as their lighter and brighter-colored fellows with more obvious markings. An RSPCA spokesman said, “This has become a national problem. And we are urging people to never judge a cat by its color but look at its personality instead.”
The Millwood Cat Rescue Centre has taken in nice black cats in the past two weeks. The founder of the rescue centre said,“We have had a lot of black cats because people don’t like black at the moment. Other look at the black cats and then just say ‘Oh, have you got anything else’?”
Animal lover Gabriella Fletcher owns a 16-year-old black cat, Susie. She regularly takes selfies with her pet. She said, “It is hard to get a good picture as you can’t really see how beautiful Susie is. She is just as special as any other cat.”

It happens all the time: during an airport delay, a Korean perhaps starts talking to a man who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting beside them cannot understand a word.
They don’t know they are speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-Paul Nerriere, considers it a proper language. “It is not a language, it is a tool.” he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn’t want to be that at all. It is a means of communication.”
The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980s when Nerriere was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started chatting. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, “Call me Jim,” “Call me Bill,” no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the strange English spoken by others. They all spoke low-quality English. Except Jim and Bill, everyone was speaking Globish though they didn’t know it.
The main principles of Globish are a vocabulary of only 1,500 words in English, gestures and repetition. One of the interesting things in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. The target is to reach the point where you will be understood everywhere. The list goes from “able” to “zero.” Niece and nephew, for example, are not included, “but you can replace them with the children of my brother,” Nerriere says.
But a small problem is still waiting for him. The fluent Globish speaker will not be understood by native English speakers. To this question, Nerriere responded confidently, “This is the way to get Americans to learn another language.”
8. From the first two paragraphs, we can know that______．
A. the Korean realizes he is speaking Globish
B. Globish is the working language at airports
C. Nerriere thinks Globish is a communication tool
D. the native English speaker is interested in Globish
9. Which of the following can explain the reason for inventing Globish?
A. The IBM workers in Paris couldn't speak English at all.
B. Nerriere needed to keep in touch with the IBM corporation in America.
C. Two Americans Jim and Bill wanted to make themselves understood.
D. The IBM staff in Paris were from many different countries.
10. How can Globish speakers communicate beyond the Globish vocabulary?
A. They might use French words instead.
B. They might use body language.
C. They might create new words.
D. They might consult a dictionary from “able” to “zero”
11. Whatis Nerriere’s attitude towards the future of Globish?
A. Optimistic. B. Cautious. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
D
Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.
Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shocking differences in perception (感知) between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.
In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.
Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s length relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.
The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were very easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult —estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also—estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.
In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.
Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize (使内化) it.
But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.
12. According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to ________.
A. more emphasize independent thinking
B. always focus more on their surroundings
C. focus on the context as well as the object
D. think of Westerners as highly independent units
13. We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ________.
A. the task is much easier B. the blood flow is tracked
C. people begin to choose colors D. the task is more difficult
14. What does Dr Hedden’s experiment in Paragraph 4-5 indicate?
A. Culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.
B. Easterners and Westerners perceive the world differently.
C. People’s perception of the world can be changed.
D. Americans are better at calculating than the Asians.
15. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism
B. East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence
C. it took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower
D. Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in Britain

Stop Negative Talk
“I’m so fat,” one of your friends says. The girl next to her joins in, “Well, I hate my hair today.” Without thinking, you respond: “No, you are not fat! I am fat. And my hair is flat and boring.” 16
It is easy for people to engage in self-critical conversations, and once it starts there is often pressure for you to join in. 17 Maybe it is because “just talking” feels harmless. But before youknow it, those opinions flow out of your conversations and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-respect.
18 When you start talking about yourself in a negative way, you are not only affecting your self-respect, but your friends! When you criticize yourself, your friends might think you have the same standards for them. You have heard that it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated, but there is also value in treating yourself like you treat your friends. If you wouldn’t criticize your friend for the same thing, chances are that you are being too hard on yourself. So, don’t start it.
But what if someone else starts? For example, your friend feels insecure about how well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down: “I suck at soccer.” 19
Ask him, “Do you really think that? Why?” Maybe he is actually
