Ive had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend sugges
9、ted I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.” Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner partyyou go to a strangers house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same
10、table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal. “Its like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the
11、TV back and its my living room again.” Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings shes had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway-much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make money
12、 out of it? “I dont,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. Im good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isnt about money. Its about a different eating experience.”And what about inviting complet
13、e strangers into her house?

SensitiveC Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but
16、 for the human begins who have them as pets. When communicating with each other, cats “talk” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use th
17、eir voices only to express pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal(声音的)expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed thi
18、s “language” to communicate with their human owners. This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物)around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, thou
19、gh, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way. Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to
20、 name just a few examples, with meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.8. If a cat among other has finds part of its body hurts, it may express its pain

Communication among cats B. pets different expressions C. Advice on keeping pets D. The language of catsD How much weight a baby gains during its f
23、irst month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school. Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 chil
24、dren who were born at full-term. They found that hose who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference(头围)also had the highest IQs by the age o
25、f six. “Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had hig
26、her IQ scores later in life. those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal(those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal(言语)IQ at age 6. This my be because the neural(神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapi
27、d weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.” Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal(产后的)diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life.
28、 Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding
29、problems, there needs to be early intervention(干预)in the management of that feeding.”12. The study mainly shows that _. A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQ B. babies heads grow quickly during the first month C. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies(早产儿) D. the mor

By having a discussion D. By referring to documents14. According to Dr. Smithers, we can learn that _.A. a kids ve
31、rbal IQ scores reach its highest at age sixB. this study helps parents find feeding problemsC. quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQD. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding15.
