Animals can express their needs using a lot of  ways.For instance，almost all animals have distinct  vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help，scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter.But cats are special creatures who possess amazing  vocalization skills.They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able  to interpret it.If a pet cat is hungry，it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food.However，when a cat is looking for affection，they tend to produce stretched and soft meows.Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.

Cats have many heightened senses，but their sense of smell is quite impressive.They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax.However，another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future.That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats，which they don't usually like.

Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit，but cats take_this_behavior_up_a_notch．Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators  (食肉动物).Cats  bring gifts for their owners to show they love you.These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time.So just go along with it!

A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They are able to have entire conversations with  humans using meows... to  attract attention and find food.”和“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat...be fed.”可知，猫用喵喵叫和人对话。如果一只宠物猫饿了，它会不停地喵喵叫以吸引注意力并

找到食物。喵喵叫从小猫一出生就开始了，小猫用它来吸引猫妈妈的注意并被喂食。由此可知，喵喵叫是猫的生存技能。

25．How does a pet cat assess different situations?

The Saint  Lukas  train  doesn't accept passengers—it accepts only the sick.The Saint Lukas is one of five government­sponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia.Each stop lasts an average of two days，and during that time the doctors and nurses on board  provide  rural (乡村)  populations  with  basic medical care，X­ray scans  and prescriptions.

“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning，” says Emile Ducke，a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a two­week trip in November through the vast regions(区域)  of Krasnoyarsk and  Khakassia.

Russia's public health care service has been in serious need of modernization.The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem，particularly in the poorer，rural areas east of the  Volga  River，including  arranging  doctor's appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.

The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation.For 10 months every year，the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks，before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock (补给).Then it starts all over again the next month.Most
