If you have ever had a cat，or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online，you'll know that cats have a mind of their own.A lot of the things they do are hard to understand—they like to climb up tall furniture，fit themselves in small spaces and attack（攻击） small objects for no reason at all. Now scientists have managed to work out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends.According to Tony Buffington，a professor at Ohio State University in the US，cats' strange behavior（行为）largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. "Cats today still have many of the same natural abilities that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years." he said in a TED Talk. "To them，our homes are their jungles（丛林）." Cats' bodies and great balancing（平衡）abilities allow them to climb to high places to better look at the environment.Even though they don't have to hunt（猎食）any more in human houses，they still keep the old habit of observing the living room from，for example，the top of the fridge. Cats' hunting abilities also make them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild，they hunt whatever they can get for food，and most of the animals they kill are small.However，a cat can also be prey.This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines—they are hiding，or they think they are hiding，from more dangerous animals.This is also why cats prefer a clean box：a dirty one with an unpleasant smell could easily show enemies where they are. Knowing how cats' minds work is not only useful for better understanding them，it may also help cats' owners to better meet cats' needs.For example，owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around.They could also use "food puzzles" to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.（1）According to the passage，Tony Buffington agrees that ____ .A．cats' strange behavior is hard for people to understandB．cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans' homesC．cats' natural abilities are still helpful to make them get food todayD．cats act strangely mainly because of their natural abilities in the wild（2）The word "prey" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ____ ".A．an animal that lives in the junglesB．an animal that likes keeping itself cleanC．an animal that likes playing hiding games with peopleD．an animal that becomes others' food after being hunted（3）According to the writer，cats' owners can better meet cats' needs by ____ .A．creating hunting games at homeB．giving them delicious foodC．making them go back to the wildD．putting them in the furniture（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？ ____ A．To describe cats' past wild experience to readers.B．To tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats.C．To explain the reasons behind cats' strange behavior.D．To compare cats' behavior in human homes with that in the wild.

If you have ever had a cat，or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online，you'll know that cats have a mind of their own.A lot of the things they do are hard to understand—they like to climb up tall furniture，fit themselves in small spaces and attack（攻击） small objects for no reason at all.
     Now scientists have managed to work out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends.According to Tony Buffington，a professor at Ohio State University in the US，cats' strange behavior（行为）largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. "Cats today still have many of the same natural abilities that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years." he said in a TED Talk. "To them，our homes are their jungles（丛林）."

     Cats' hunting abilities also make them attack small things like keys and USB drives.
     In the wild，they hunt whatever they can get for food，and most of the animals they kill are small.However，a cat can also be prey.This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines—they are hiding，or they think they are hiding，from more dangerous animals.This is also why cats prefer a clean box：a dirty one with an unpleasant smell could easily show enemies where they are.
