“When one of the doctors criticizes（批评）me，I get defensive： I feel like a child again， being scolded，and I want to explain that I’m not wrong.”says Viola， a nurse. This is a common reaction（反应）to criticism,but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism. （1）Try to be objective（客观）. When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale,Sol’s reaction was to feel sorry for himself.“I had put everything I had into making that sale,”Sol says,“and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.” (2)Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism,take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person's position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it. （3）Take positive（积极的）action. After you cool down， consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be“nothing”.'I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,” says Sheila.“His criticisms didn’t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.”In Sheila’s case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However,that’s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn't worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.

2. According to the writer,you should take time to think about criticism because______.

Apeople may have a mistaken idea of what you did

Byou should welcome other people’s opinions

Cpeople may discuss it with you in depth

Dyou need time to understand yourself

There' s an old fixed understanding about the difference between cats and dogs. Dogs are loving and loyal, while cats are aloof （冷漠离群的）and indifferent. Most cat people, however, probably disagree. Overall, cat research suggests cats do form emotional bonds with their owners. Cats seem to experience separation anxiety, respond to their owners' voices more than to strangers' and look for comfort when scared.
But a new study reveals a more complicated picture of our relationship with cats. Adapting a method previously used to study dogs, the scientists found cats—unlike dogs一don' t avoid strangers who refuse to help their owners. This doesn' t mean that the cats in this study were selfish, but they simply didn' t understand how human beings respond to each other. They weren' t aware that some of the strangers were being unhelpful.
In an experiment, a cat watched as her owner tried to open a box to get at something inside. Two strangers sat on either side of the owner and the owner turned to one of them and asked for help. In ''helper" trials, the stranger helped the owner to open the box. In " non-helper" trials, the stranger refused. The other stranger sat passively, doing nothing. Then, both strangers offered the cat a treat, and the scientists watched to see which stranger the cat approached first. Did she prefer to take food from a helpful stranger over a passive one? Or did she avoid taking food from the non-helper?
When this method was used to test dogs, they showed a clear preference. The dogs preferred not to take food from a stranger who refused to help their owner. In contrast, the cats in the study were completely indifferent. They showed no preference for the helpful person and no avoidance （避开）of the unhelpful person. Apparently, as far as cats are concerned, food is food.
What should we take from this? An attractive conclusion would be that cats are selfish and don' t care about how their owners are treated at all. This is an example of human-centered thinking of animals. To really understand cats, we have to get out of this view and think of them as cats.

3. What does most research about cats show?

AThey don't need their owners5 attention.

BThey are emotionally attached to their owners.

CThey don't experience separation anxiety as dogs do.

DThey respond to their owners' voices less than dogs do.

4. She found her calculator （） she lost it.

A where

B when

C in which

D that
