【正文】 e man D .ask if he had seen the knife B Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along smoothly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasn?t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression（侵略，攻擊） and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other?s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ?Dog?, and dogs can learn how to talk ?Cat?. What?s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other?s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in mon than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other?s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理 ) each other. The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—to people who don?t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance. 25． Some cats and dogs may fight when ________.

C In my thirty years as a time management speaker, I have observed a lot of what we can not and should not do to increase our daily results. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but quicker and smarter. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are some time management mistakes we should all avoid to help us increase our daily efficiency: Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough right things. Time management is not doing the wrong things more rapidly. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time management is doing the right things. Work with a messy (凌亂不堪 的 ) desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day in looking for things. That?s seven and a half hours per week. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you can easily find that he or she is working with a clean desk environment. Don?t take a lunch break. Many people do not take a lunch break. They work through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to finish the task. Studies have shown that it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, our mind will bee boring. A lunch break, even a fifteenminute break, gives us a chance to get our energy back again. 29． The purpose of this passage is to ______________. A. show how to bee a speaker. B. persuade us to get rid of Time Management C. tell us to avoid Time Management mistakes D. explain
