his tail to say so many things,Every movement of thetail means a different thing.If the dog is wagging its tail,it is a sign of friendliness;if his tail is straight,itmeans he is getting ready for a fight;and if his tail is tucked（塞）behind his legs,it means he is giving upthe fight.Unlike dogs,eats?tail language is not so expressive.When a cat feels threatened,he puffs himselfup to appear big and his tail shakes with tension.And when his is displeased with something,he lashesout（甩动）his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it.Earlier,when dogs and cats had notbecome friends with human beings,they were predators.They used to hunt other animals for their food.When dogs went out hunting with their facial expressions to talk.But,for long-distance communication,they used their tails.Unlike dogs,cats liked to hunt alone.So,they did not need to use tail language toooften.As a result.As a result,their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs.4O.What does it mean when a dog?s tail is straight?A.It has a lot to say to you.B.lt wants to stop fighting.C.lt is going to fight.D.lt likes to be patted.41.A cat tries to appear big when it

animalsC.animals that live in the wildD.animals kept by peoplePassage ThreeLike any teenagers,the face of One Teen Story is changing fast.Just a year old,the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief:Patrick Ryan,47,the associateeditor of Granta from 2009 to 2013,He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story-the younger sibling（姐妹篇）of One story magazine-will offer Ryan a chanceto reach a whole new audience.ult?s really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,n he says fromhis office in New York.ult?s tremendously exciting that there are younger people out there who havesubscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month.That form is usually only presentedwhen it?s forced upon them in schools.MDesigned for readers 14 and up,one Teen Story publishes nine issues a year.Like its siblingmagazine,it doesn?t carry photographs or advertising.lt?s just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identify with.It?s not about having a message or positive spin（说教）.It always starts on a character level,and it has tohave an interesting story.If you look at the Twilight characters and the?Harry Potter?characters,theyfeel very contemporary.”Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business.I just really love theidea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody-wouldbe the push to make a talented writer feel that it was worth keeping at this/144.Who is Patrick Ryan?A.He is the editor-in-chief of Granta.B.He is the editor-in-chief of One Story.C.He
