In a small village there lived a lazy man. He would do nothing all day but daydream. When he was hungry, he would go out, beg for(乞讨) food, come back and hang around(闲逛).
One sunny afternoon, he was very hungry. With great difficulty, he got up, took out a bowl and went out to beg. By begging the whole day, he finally got a pot full of milks. He hung this pot on the ceiling, lay down on his bed and started daydreaming again.
“It’s this pot of milk that is going to make me rich,” he thought. “I can make butter from the milk. Then I will be able to make ghee(印度酥油) and go to the market and sell the ghee,” his dream continued. “With the money I get, I will buy a pair of goats. They will have kids after 6 months. Soon I would have a large number of goats.”
“Then I will continue my business. I will buy some more cows and own a farmhouse. I will start
a dairy farm(奶牛场). Once I earn a handsome amount I will employ people in my farm. I can also open a sweet shop in the middle of the village. I will make sweets out of the cow’s milk.” The man kept smiling to himself.
“How smart I am,” he thought. Lost in his thought, he struck out(用力打) with his foot, breaking
the pot, and drenching(弄湿)himself in milk. He saw the broken pot and cried. He lost whatever he had because of his laziness and daydreaming.

What do you think of black cats? Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.
The study found that people do judge (判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.
But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.
58. The main idea of paragraph 2 is that 　　　.
A. people often complain about black cats on the Internet
B. people think cats of different colours have different personalities
C. black cats are less popular than other cats D. the study is a great success
59. According to the study, people think that 　　　.
A. black cats have special personalities B. orange and bi-coloured cats are generous
C. cats with three colours are friendly D. white cats are calm, lazy and shy
60. People don’t like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT 　　　.
A. black cats often appear in TV shows B. black cats bring bad luck to people
C. black cats have bad reputations D. they don’t think black cats are beautiful
61. The passage mainly talks about 　　　.
A. why black cats are popular in movies B. why people are not willing to keep black cats as pets
C. different colour cats have different personalities
D. different people have different ideas on black cats

Seven billion people live on the earth. Yet while people from the same place might look similar, every single one of us is unique. Not only in our personality, but appearance. Our faces are unique as our fingerprints .And now we know why.
Genetics (遗传学) plays a big part in how we look. That’s why we look similar to our parents. But more importantly, our facial features develop over time by a set of DNA “switches”(开关), according to some scientists’ research.
These “switches” turn on and off over time which shape our faces. They help to control the changes that are made. How do we know this? Scientists found over 4,000 of these “switches” in mice, whose faces develop similar to humans. By controlling 200 of these, they managed to control the way mice faces developed.
Aren’t animal faces all the same? Although it’s hard to tell, just like humans, every animal face is different. “It is really hard for humans to see the differences in mice faces,” Axel Visel, a professor from
