A

It was six or seyen years ago that I first witnessed a ginger cat break into my house．His name was Samson and， while“cat’’was one description you might have applied to him, another more accurate one was“ginger beach ball that just happened to have a cat’s head on top”．He belonged to Ruby，a lady in her 80s living across the road．Soon the two of us became friends：me allowing him to steal my cat’s biscuits，him allowing me to stroke him while staring up at me in a relaxed way．If he had been able to speak，the maj ority of his sentences would have ended in the word“dude”(伙计)．

When Ruby died in 2009，a friend who lived several miles away adopted Samson．A strict diet foilowed，which，left Samson looking less like a beach ball and more like a smaller cat wearing a baggy ginger sweater．While he had been around，I had complained a little about mv extra cat food bills and feared for my armchairs and sofa which were often violently scratched。but in the year or two after he’d gone I missed him a lot．

In the past two and a half years，I’ve been visited by a succession of ginger cats，all of whom have been lovable，and all of whom have proved costly in either an emotional or financial sense．

I'm moving out soon and facing up to the fact that I might never see them again．I've told the buver of my house about the essential information of it，especially the visiting cats．The chances are that one day if a cat，whether it is from one of the neighbours or just a stray one，turns up by his doorway，he can at least feed it．

C．was abandoned by Ruby D．disliked the biscuits of the author

43．Why did the author occasionally complain about the ginger cat?

A．The cat stole bills from her house．

B．The strict diet made the cat too weak．

C．He had to spend more on cat food．

D．The price of cat food kept rising．

44．Who does the underlined word“he”in the last sentence refer to?

A．The ginger cat B．The author

C．Ruby D．The new owner of the house

45．We can infer from the story that the author

A．missed the days spent with those cats

B

Do you know that people without friends are more likely to die an early death? It’s true．However，not all the friends are helpful to up your chances of living a long，happy life．The following types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away．

1．A Loyal Best Friend

Sometimes a loyal best friend is the only thing you need to stay calm．Everyone needs a non—judgmental friend who will support them no matter what．This is the kind of friend who knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets，but still loves you all the same．

2．An Honest Confidant

There are certain situations in life where we need to hear the harsh truth．It is really hard for you to face it，but that’s what the honest confidant is for．Friends are supposed to be honest with each other．If you find someone who is bravely honest with you (in a constructive way)，then hold on to this person! People like that are hard to come by these days.

3．A Polar Opposite
