There is little doubt that house cat first developed naturally from ancient wild cats. The cleverest relative is the America wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because the first house cats came from Africa.

Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000-7,000 years ago. From Egypt, cats started to move around the world. This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain(谷物) in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice and protect the grain. However, cats don't like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believed that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally, some of the cats began to grow comfortable around people, these were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats and people got used to each other, then they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, cats started to live with people.

Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cat likely bred(繁殖) with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.

You're buying a used car, moving into a new house, or deciding which doctor should treat your illness. These are times when you need to get directly to the core(核心) of an important matter.

Asking general questions gets little valuable information and may even result in unreal answers, says Julia Minson, a visiting scholar in decision sciences at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. The best way, says Minson, is to ask a lot of questions that discover there are problems.

Let's say someone is selling a used iPod. An example of a general question is \about it?\正面推测) question is \negative-assumption question, such as \problems have you had with it?\will get the most honest answer, found Minson and her team.

In a study, 87% of the sellers warned the buyers to problems when asked a negative-assumption question, while 59% of those did the same thing to a positive-assumption one.

When you want the truth, you have to ask for it. What problems does this car have? What are the worst parts of this job? How many people with my kind of illness have been successfully treated? Your questions should communicate that you are sure there will be difficulties and that you want to know about them.

Sometimes you think your teacher hates you? You're not the only one. Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(冲突), just like any two people who don't get along. After all, teachers aren't perfect.

However, most of the time, there are a lot of reasons why you complain about your teacher's bad attitude(态度) to you. So try to find out if your teacher really does dislike you. Or something else is going on. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

* Is your teacher angry at you personally, or at something you've been doing?

All teachers have something that they strongly dislike. Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper(低声说话) in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situation might get better.

* Are you the only person being treated badly, or is your teacher shouting at the whole class? Ask your classmates if they've been having trouble with the teacher too. If they say yes, perhaps your teacher is having problems outside of school, or is new and feels something badly.

*Are you working up to your ability?

You and the kid sitting beside you both got a C on the last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better, but didn't say anything to her! Isn't this unfair? Well, teachers often treat different students in different levels in different ways. They will be angry if they feel someone does not do the work he is able to. It's their way to encourage a student to try a little harder. * Are you more sensitive(敏感) than most students?

Try to find out if you are very sensitive to be criticized(批评). If the other students aren't as sensitive, they will not be in such trouble even though the teacher treated them the same way. There's nothing wrong with being sensitive, but if you act to criticism differently than most kids, this would be the reason why you think your teacher doesn't like you.

72. The writer thinks that it is when teachers and students have clashes.

A. not a matter at all C. something normal A. ask his classmates for help B. think more about himself C. talk with the teacher at once D. treat the teacher the same way A. get along with their teachers B. do during a class as a student C. understand the teachers' feeling D. act when they are criticized

B. a serious problem D. no good for students
