Part 2 Reading （第二部分 阅读）
A. Choose the best answer（选择最恰当的答案）
It was 21 years ago, on a very cold morning, Mary opened the library in New York. She heard a cat cry and found a white cat in a pile of books at last.
Mary recalled "His little feet were frozen, we gave him a bath to warm him up and he purred（咕噜叫）all the time."
It was a Cinderella story for Garfield in 1988, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever sine.
"His story has a life of its own," Mary says while reading the cat's fan mail, "We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Garfield. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him."
Shortly after the cat's rescue, a photo of the library's "new employee" sitting on the card catalog appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to help name the cat and many cast votes. "We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn't even a prize," Mary says white a laugh.
Garfield grew from a popular local "library employee" to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 100 libraries across America. Most live and "work" in comfortable, small town libraries where they don't get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more "white-collar" duties: to act charming and make the library a pleasant homey place.
"Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere," says Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. "The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can't have pets in their apartments," Roma says. "Books, libraries, and cats just go together."
1. A contest was held after the cat's rescue to ________ the cat.
A. win B. name C. film D. feed
2. We probably won't be able to see the picture of Garfield in ________.
A. a Japanese film B. the calendars C. the card catalogs D. the local newspaper
3. People keep cats in the libraries because ________.
A. cats don't like big places B. cats can create a nice and warm atmosphere
C. there are more rats there D. librarians are more friendly
4. Library cats can do many things including ________.
A. 2; 4; 5 B. 1; 3 C. 1; 4; 5 D. 2; 3; 5
1) arranging card catalogs 2) greeting people
3) acting for a film 4) catching rats
5) making people feel at home
5. From the passage we can infer（推断）that ________.
A. Library cats only attract children and old people.
B. Garfield is one of the cats who live among books.
C. Library cats are not as popular as they used to be
D. Every library in America has at least one cat
B. Choose the words and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词，完成短文）
Some scientist conducted a study years ago. They gave 186 kids aged 4 regular carrots for lunch on some days, and the __1__ vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots on other days. Interestingly, the children ate nearly twice as many on the latter days.
The study suggests the influence of these names might continue. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were __2__ labeled as anything fun.
The research, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was presented at the annual meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington, D. C.
"Cool names can make for cool foods," said the lead author Brain Wan-sink of Cornell University. "Whether it be 'power peas' or 'dinosaur broccoli trees', giving a food a fun __3__ makes kids think it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working - even the next day," Wan-sink said.
Similar results have been found with __4__. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Romantic Hawaii, sales increased 28 percent and taste rating increased by 12 percent. "Same food, but different expectations, and a different experience, " said Wan-sink, author of "Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think."
The study was conducted in pre-schools, but the researchers believe the same naming tricks can work with children __5__.
"I've been using this with my kids," said researcher Collin Payne, "Whatever sparks（激发）their imagination seems to spark their appetite."

"How much does it cost to have my shoes shined?" A man in black stood in front of me and asked. Before I could answer, I had started brushing away on his shoes.
"How much do you make a week, boy?" he asked me again. I knew he was laughing at me. All the time I was wondering where I had seen the man. Suddenly I knew I had seen his picture in the post office many times. He was a big swindler - one who cheated money out of others, wanted by the police in many states.
"You know," he was saying "it's imagination people lack. You'll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy. Along with imagination, it takes courage. The courage to take a chance. When I was sixteen, I had made $2,500 of my own," he kept talking away.
That's when something reminded me. Was it $2,500 or $5,000 or $25,000? I wasn't sure. I knew a big reward was offered for him.

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey coming across street. Then, very fast, I began to tie the man's shoelaces together. The man was watching the officer. "That's enough, boy!" he said, "I got to be going."
The policeman was at the window when I shouted, "Officer Dailey, help! This man is a cheat."
"Shut up," the man said angrily. I saw a gun in his hand. He was starting to run away when he felt on his face and knocked himself out.
