2、wning a black cat may bring good luck to the family. But recently, black cats can no longer enjoy so much favor. The British Royal for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (英国防止虐待动物协会) announced a rise in the number of black cats being abandoned by their owners, due to not looking good in selfies (自
3、拍). According to the RSPCA, more than 70 percent of the cats in its care are black. The biggest reason for that is black cats tend not to photograph as their lighter and brighter-colored fellows with more obvious markings. An RSPCA spokesman said, “This has become a national problem. And we are urgi
4、ng people to never judge a cat by its color but look at its personality instead.” The Millwood Cat Rescue Centre has taken in nice black cats in the past two weeks. The founder of the rescue centre said, “We have had a lot of black cats because people dont like black at the moment. Other look at the
5、 black cats and then just say Oh, have you got anything else?” Animal lover Gabriella Fletcher owns a 16-year-old black cat, Susie. She regularly takes selfies with her pet.

B B For the business traveler who is all about efficiency: Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble. When you are pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuria
9、te you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process. 1. Yotel New York1. Yotel New York The self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones youd see at an airport. There are just five-steps to registe
10、r and obtain your card key. There is even a robotic luggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say, for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do,
11、 like me, is head to a series of meetings. 2. Marriott Detroit Airport2. Marriott Detroit Airport Another option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel. (Ive tested the app itself but no
12、t for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iphone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk. 3. Hyatt Re
13、gency Minneapolis3. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. 3 The whole process took about three minutes, when I left, I was equally
14、 impressed with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line. 4. Radisson: LaCrosse4. Radisson: LaCrosse The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, at a few select hot
15、els like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode(条形码) by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required. Its super fast. You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hote
16、ls in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well. 5. Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in? A. Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport. B. Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson: LaCrosse. C. Marriott Detroit Airport. and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D. Hyatt Regency Minne
17、apolis and Radisson: LaCrosse. 6. Which hotel will send you a receipt by email? A. Yotel New York. B. Marriott Detroit Airport. C. Radisson: LaCrosse. D. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. 7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. At Yotel New York, a robot will help you with all the ch
18、eck-in process. B. With its check-in app, you may enter your room in Marriott without a key. C. The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in. DHyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal. C C You may think, salt is just a simple cooking element we shake on our
19、 food for a little extra taste. But salt is much more than that. Without salt our muscles would not move. Our nervous systems would not operate. Our hearts would not beat. But do not think rubbing salt into a wound will help. Doing that would be painful and not heal the wound. “To rub salt into a wo
20、und” is an idiom that means to purposefully make a bad situation worse. Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But 4 advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans needed to find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural
21、sources for salt were lucky. Those who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word “salary” comes from the word “salt”. Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understo
22、od that if they could keep food fresh, they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explore the world. Salt was so important that, according to food historians, it was traded pound-for-pound for gold. Today, people still use the expressions “worth ones salt” or “worth o
23、nes weight in salt”. The expressions describe a person of value. A person might also be called “salt of the earth”. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy. However, when you say “I think we should take what he said with a grain of salt”you mean you accept it but maintain a de
24、gree of doubt about its truth. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Salt plays an important part in our life. B. Salt makes food tasty. C. Salt is considered to be part of our muscles. D. Salt is sure to damage nervous systems. 9. A beggars bread was stolen last night, which means_. A.
25、salt of the earth B. rubbing salt in a wound C. a diet low in salt D. worth his salt 10. If you describe a person as a great help, you mean_ . A. he rubs salt in a wound B. he is often taken as a grain of salt C. he often uses salt to preserve meat D. he is worth his weight in salt 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Salt Is More Than a Four-letter Word. B. Salt Is a Basic Element in Cooking. C. Salt Is a Word with a Long Histo
