Scientists wanted to know how well cats can remember things, so they did an experiment (with 50 friendly house cats.These cats were of different ages,from cute baby cats to calm old cats,and they all loved tasty food. In the experiment,the scientists put four bowls of the same type in a quiet room.Two bowls were full of the cats'favourite snacks, and the other two were empty.Then the scientists let the cats into the room to eat.After they finished eating,the scientists took them out. Fifteen minutes later,the scientists changed all the bowls to clean, empty ones.Then the cats went back to the room to look for food. What happened next?The cats spent much more time around the bowls that had food before!They smelt the bowls with their little noses and touched them with their paws(爪子). This tells us cats can remember "what"and "where".They seem to have good short-term memories.Another study in 2006,however, showed something quite different.Scientists tested cats'ability to find hidden(隐藏的)things.Most of the cats couldn'tt find them after 30 seconds. The study opens the door to new studies on how long cats' memories can be.Professor Lauri from Yale University said,"We will keep studying how long cats'memories last and if they remember many small things in life like humans do." 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ( )31.How does the writer start the text?

D Writing tools are important things in our lives.Humans first used brushes for writing,and then reeds (and feathers.In 1884, people created fountain pens(自来水笔).36 One big problem was that the ink often came out of the pen and made a mess.Writing with them was hard work. In 1938,a Hungarian reporter named Ladislao Biro created the first ballpoint pen(圆珠笔).Biro noticed that newspaper ink dried fast and didn't leave dirty marks on paper.37 But that thick (黏稠的)ink couldn't go through a normal pen tip.So,he tried something different. Biro put a small ball at the tip of the pen.38 When people wrote with the pen,the ball rolled and carried ink onto the paper. When people stopped writing,the thick ink stayed inside and did not come out of the pen. 39 They help people write fast.And they won't make a mess, even if water gets on the paper. 40 You will find the small ball that does all the wonder. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳 选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A.He wanted to make a pen using this kind of ink.
