Your mom tells you to put on your hat and gloves. But as the cold winter season gets closer， it’s so cold that even mom’s advice does not work.

That means it’s time to put on your qiuku! This is a kind of “thermal underwear(保暖內(nèi)衣)” or long underpants that keep people warm in the coldest months of the year.

In Western countries， qiuku is usually known as long johns， but they aren’t popular. Long johns in the US are usually two pieces， a long-sleeved(長袖的) shirt and long pants， worn under other clothing or sometimes even used as pajamas(睡衣).

Long johns first appeared in England during the 17th century. We call them long johns because the US boxer John L. Sullivan wore them while he boxed. But this is not a historical fact.

In the US， it gets quite cold and snowy in many places. And while parents often push kids to wear more clothes and long underwear， it’s very special when young people actually(實(shí)際上) put them on.

Part of the reason might be because it’s not very fashionable(時(shí)尚的) and another reason might be because people don’t spend much time outside during the cold months. So they just deal with the freezing(冰凍的) temperatures when they have to leave the warm building. But in their parents’ eyes， staying warm is more important than looking nice.

1. People wear qiuku to be __________.

A. fashionable B. popular C. friendly D. Warm

2. What is part of long johns in the US?

A. Socks B. T-shirts C. Long pants D. Coats

3.Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Long johns first appeared in the US in the 17th century.

B. Long johns got its name from the boxer John L. Sullivan.

C. We can read about long johns and Sullivan in history books.

D. Long johns in Western countries are as popular as qiuku in China.

4.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. Few young people wear long johns.

B. Many young people wear long johns.

C. Young people like special long johns.

D. Young people dislike special long johns.

5.The last paragraph tells us that ___________.

A. young people care more about staying warm

B. young people think long johns are not fashionable

C. in winter people need to stay outside for a long time

D. long johns are fashionable but can’t keep people warm

Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren’t sure where to start or feel like they just don’t have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.

Think more before you decide

The decisions you make may go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian (素食者) diet. If you aren’t ready to make this change, there are still things you can do. Do not buy animal products from companies that have illegal (違法的) practices.

Help speak the word out

Speaking the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important problems of animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet over-population problem we’re facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give to your friend.

Write a letter

We’ve all heard the saying, “The pen is more powerful than the sword (寶劍)”. Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won’t buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators (立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.

Be more loving

If you’re considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless-animal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet over-population, as well as giving your money to those who look after poor animals.

Let your actions set an example

It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living animals respectfully. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid entertainment (娛樂) places that use animals to perform. Support laws that protect animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

Ways to protect 1.

Think carefully before you make a 2.

●Don’t eat meat.

● 3. to buy animal products from companies that have illegal practices.

Speak the word out

●Put up an animal-protection 4. on the car.

●Talk to your friends and family members and give advice.

●Get help from 5. if necessary.

Write letters

●Let those companies that are doing 6. to animals know about your anger.

●Let legislators know the 7. of their support for legislation that protects animals.

Be more loving

●Get a pet from a homeless-animal house instead of 8. a new one.

●Give money to the people who look after poor animals.

Set an example for others

●Treat all living animals with 9. and take good care of your pets.

●Avoid 10. to places where animals perform.

●Support laws which are good for animals.
