A loyal cat has been bringing his owner small gifts every day in a show of affection. After all, the cat’s owner has been dead for over a year.

Toldo—a cute, 3-year-old black and white cat lives in Montagnana, northern Italy. Toldo has been visiting his owner—Iozzelli Renzo, who died on September 22, 2013, aged 71—every day for the past year and leaving small presents at the grave.

The gifts usually consist of leaves, sticks, plastic cups or paper towels.

“Even today I went to the cemetery with Toldo. On the way back, someone I know told me the cat has already been there early this morning,” Renzo’s wife, Ada, told the Corriere Fiorentino.

Neighbors have also seen Toldo wandering around the cemetery through the day. It started the day of the funeral, when the cat followed the coffin from the house to the cemetery.

The next morning, Ada went to the grave again. “We went to the cemetery with my daughter and found a flower on the grave. I immediately thought that it was the cat, but my daughter was convinced that I was just in a very emotional state at that moment.” She told the news source.

That night, however, Renzo’s son returned to the cemetery and found Toldo standing guard at the grave. Ada says that her late husband shared a particularly strong bond with Toldo—he’d adopted the cat from a cat colony when he was just 3 months old.

Unfortunately, not everyone believes in the moving relationship between Toldo and his owner. Ada said that people often try to drive the cat away. “There are insensitive people who send him away with stones or other things, convinced that the presence of an animal in the cemetery is not good.” She told the news source. Still, Toldo continues to visit the grave every day.

21. Why does the cat take some gifts for his owner?

A. The cat likes small gifts very much.

B. The cat wants to be praised by people

C. The cat wants to show his love for the owner.

D. The cat’s owner has been dead for over a year.

22. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The cat has been to the cemetery since the day of the funeral.

B. The cat is welcome to the cemetery by all people around.

C. Toldo was loved by his owner very much.

D. Toldo was adopted at a very young age.

23. Some people try to drive the cat away because _____.

A. the gifts which Toldo brings in will make the cemetery dirty.

B. they believe that the cat is not a good animal.

C. they think a cat should not appear in the cemetery.

D. they think there is no need to guard at the grave.

B

Apple’s ipad has been a huge hit among children, with its easy to use interface(界面) and innovative apps.

In fact, researchers say the astonishing rise of the ipad has meant it has now overtaken household names such as McDonalds and Disney to become the number one brand among American 6-12 year olds.

The annual study, conducted by leading youth and family research firm Smarty Pants, ranks more than 250 brands each year. “iPad’s number one status among kids represents the summit of the ‘tablet takeover’—a movement from shared screens and TV network dominance to planned content on personal devices.” Said Wynne Tyree, president of Smarty Pants. “Kids increasingly turn to iPad for games, TV shows, videos, books, homework help and communicating with friends and family.

In the firm’s 2014 study, Apple’s iPad went ahead of kid brands such as McDonald’s and Disney. Kids see the iPad as the all-in-one digital tool, giving them a unique sense of independence, the researchers say.

Tyree notes that iPad’s march to the top has been dramatic. “In just five years, the iPad has risen from ranking 109th to being kid’s favorite brand. Early on, it captured the hearts of teens and middle and upper class families, but iPad is now an indispensable(不可或缺的) part of childhood for the masses.”

On the study iPad was tops with a weighted score of 898 out of 1,000. Disney came at 858, Google’s YouTube 852, McDonald’s 839, iPhone 830 and Apple 829. Digital entertainment overall is seeing an increase among kids and families, with brands such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Android, and Samsung posting noteworthy increases in the study, a measure of kids’ awareness, popularity, and love for a brand. Along with iPad, these devices and services provide entertainment that is “always on”.

Offering seemingly endless options, tablets and digital content providers are meeting contemporary kids’ needs—with fun and connectivity never more than a tap away.

24. What is the “tablet takeover” movement according to the passage?

A. In the movement everyone owns an iPad.

B. It refers to the shift from watching TV together to using an iPad separately.

C. In the movement people become more independent in entertainment.

D. In the movement people receive more information from an iPad than from TV.

25. What makes an iPad appealing to the kids?

A. An iPad helps the kids build up stronger relationships with their parents.

B. An iPad can develop the kids’ reading skills.

C. With an iPad, the kids can become a better learner.

D. They can watch TV shows using an iPad.

26. What is the correct ranking according to scores from the study of Smarty Pants?

A. Disney—YouTube—Apple—iPhone—iPad—McDonald’s

B. iPad—Disney—YouTube-- McDonald’s—iPhone—Apple

C. iPhone—Disney—iPad-- McDonald’s—YouTube-- Apple

D. iPad—Apple—iPhone-- McDonald’s—Disney—YouTube

27. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Apple’s iPad can develop the kids’ creativity.

B. Tablet and digital providers can never meet the kids’ needs.

C. An iPad can provide the kids with most entertainment.

D. An iPad’s fun and connection to the Internet attracts the kids most.

Success can mean different things for different people. For some, success may be a large salary and a nice car. For others, it may mean a well-fed and happy family. For college students, it means making good marks or passing grades in order to earn a degree.

And there lies a slight difficulty with some college students. The way in which they achieve success may not always be that they earned it. Earning requires hard work, and most importantly, honesty. Some students cheat to simply gain success. On Aug. 30, news of the largest cheating scandal at Harvard University broke out. It is said on Thursday that the undergraduate class had a minimum of 250 students and possible cheating was discovered in roughly half the take-home exams.

The investigation is still underway but consequences for those found guilty could range fro
