What Is Your Pet Trying to Tell You
Animals want our attention, and sometimes they're quite obviously about asking for it. Unusual behaviors are often our pets' way of telling us to stop what we're doing and play with them. It's why Fido constantly chases his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. A desperately bored pet may have "bad" behaviors to get a reaction-even a negative one!
Feed me.
Sure, your dog loves you, but that's not why he's licking（舔）your face. A puppy learns to lick his mother's mouth to get a little leftover food, so Spot isn't kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.
I'm stressed.
Cat owners also misinterpret their furry friends' kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she'll do it to ease herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is to see if it goes on for an extended period of time. Birds also overclean when they feel anxious. Some will even drag out their own feathers.
My tail tells all.
Dogs wag（摇）their tails to the right when they see something or someone they want to approach, and to the left when they see something they want to avoid. When frightened, dogs curl their tails in, while cats wrap theirs around themselves. And if a cat's tail looks like a question mark, she's eager to play.
21. What does a dog show if it kisses its owner?
A. Hunger.    B. Love.    C. Fear.    D. Sadness.
22. How many kinds of pets are mentioned in the text?
A. Two.    B. Three.    C. Four.    D. Five.
23. What will happen if birds get anxious?
A. They will drag others' feathers.
B. They will approach someone they like.
C. They will clean their feathers more than necessary.
D. They will stare at their owners for a longer time.

About 15 years ago, Andrew McLindon, a businessman and crazy cyclist, was riding his bike in Austin, Texas, when he thought about Jack, a friend's 12-year-old son. Jack had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from hydrocephalus（脑水肿）, a buildup of fluid in the brain that often causes balance disturbances.
When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel bike with a balancing bar, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon Jack was riding around the street with his friends, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as his friend told McLindon. "I'll never forget the smile on his face when my son is interacting with other kids."
That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with clinics to find children who can benefit from owning an adaptive bike and to help make each bike to the particular needs of the child. A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder belt, a seat belt and soon. The bikes are expensive-$3,000 to $4,000, and that's with the foundation’s producer's discount. For kids lucky enough to get one, they're a life changer.
"We worked with a 14-year-old who has spina bifida（脊柱裂）," says McLindon. "She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons（三项全能运动）. In a magazine interview, she said, 'I always knew there was an athlete in me.'"
So far, the foundation has given away45 0 bikes, and that's just a start. "I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies," McLindon says. "But getting these kids their bikes is the most important thing that I do."
24. Which picture best illustrates the bike for Jack?
A.     B.     C.     D.
25. What's the purpose of the McLindon Family Foundation?
A. To give away bikes.        B. To help kids with mental problems.
C. To offer special bikes to particular kids.    D. To make profits from making special bikes.
26. Which words can best describe McLindon?
adaptiveA. Kind and patient.        B. Generous and cautious.
C. Rich and hard-working.        D. Warm-hearted and helpful.
27. What can be the best title of the text?
A. McLindon and Life Bikes    B. McLindon, an Aggressive Businessman
C. The McLindon Family Foundation    D. Unusual Kids with Particular Needs
C
Queen Elizabeth II's face is on every note and coin in the United Kingdom, but still little is known about how much money she has personally, how she gets it and who stands to inherit（继承）it.
What we do know from public records is that the Queen receives at least $20 million in annual income through her private estate, and another 100 million dollars from the UK government each year.
