    What do you think of black cats？Are they unluckier than cats of other colors？Many people in Western countries think so．Scientists at the University of California，Berkeley （UC Berkeley），did a study on cat colors and people's understandings of cat personalities．

    The study found that people do judge（判断） cat personalities by color．Scientists did a survey on the Internet．There were 49statements （描述） matching five cat colorings with 10personalities．People think orange and bi-colored （双色的） cats are friendly，tri-colored （三色的） cats are not generous，and white cats are calm，lazy and shy．As for black cats，people think they don't have special personalities．

    But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets？People think black cats have less special personalities，which might be because of their bad reputation （口碑）．They think black cats may bring bad luck，especially at Halloween．Movies and television shows also make people believe that．

    Although people have these ideas，UC Berkeley scientists give another reason：people don't think black cats are pretty enough．After all，nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats．"You can't judge a cat by its color，because it's the personality of the cat，not the color，that will let you know if the cat is right for you，"Cathy Marden，a scientist said．

    Lizzie-s diary from Antarctica (南极洲)

    Day 3: Tuesday December 2

    We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all.

    We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather

    It turned clear at 9:30 and we took off at 10:30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.

    Day 4: Wednesday December 3

    After waking up in the Antarctic for the first time today I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.

    We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It s about minus 20C today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars(常客) here are often seen walking around in T-shirts !

    Day 5: Thursday December 4

    I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctic. I’m told it’s a bit colder today, about minus 50C , but it’s not very windy so it feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the bas have to do a spccial training course before we're allowed to go off base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

    Day 7: Saturday December 6

    Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).

    The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery (凤景) changes every day.

    At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully !

    1.Lizzie sat outside wearing a jacket on_______.

    A. Tuesday B. Wednesday C. Thursday D. Saturday

    2.What could stop Lizzie from leaving Stanley for Rothera?

    A. Strong winds. B. Thick clouds.

    C. Mountains of ice. D. Low temperatures.

    3.How did Lizzie feel during her stay in the Antarctic?

    A. Afraid. B. Nervous. C. Amazed. D. Bored.

    4.What impressed Lizzie most about Rothera was that _______.

    A. people walked around in T-shirts B. there was a special training course

    C. the weather was sometimes warm D. the scenery changed every day
