Meet big brother Blue and his sisters Meadow and Little Willow，a family of three blind cats that just got adopted by the family Catherine Magno．
Their story starts just before the Christmas of 2014 when the kittens（小猫）were found in an abandoned house in Dubai．By then they had already lost their sight due to a cat flu that was left untreated by their previous（先前的） owner．After that they came to an animal home．At some point，brother Blue almost got adopted by the previous owner's neighbor，but the poor confused cat couldn't bear living without his sisters and cried all night while searching for them．Soon they were all united in the animal home until the important night of 19February 2015，when Catherine took them under her wing．
"I had zero experience having adopted my first ever rescue kitten just a couple of months ago，"Catherine said．"But their story touched my heart so much that I couldn't bear the thought of them being put in a cage for a very long time or even worse．"
Catherine was worried about the special needs of her new pet friends："My worry was that it's going to not only be challenging but also require a lot of adjustments on my part，"but apparently it wasn't that much different．"The only adjustment early on was keeping everything where it was but they are soon adaptive（适应的）．"And as she wonderfully put it："Blind pets see through their hearts．"

When we go on the Internet，we usually need a web address that ends with a suffix （后缀） such as．com，．net，．org，etc．Did you know that since 1984 only 22 suffixes have been used on the World Wide Web？Now more such suffixes are going to be available．Government bodies，cities，companies，or even a single person will be able to get any suffix they want as long as they'd like to pay $185，000 for it．
A generic top level domain （gTLD） is the suffix on the right of the domain name （域名）．Extensions now include．net，．org，．biz，．name，．tv，etc．，as well as country level domains such as．us for the US，．in for India，and so on．They were designed to show different kinds of website：．biz for business use，．org for non-profit （非营利性的） organizations，etc．
Think of the web address like the name of a person．In the case of www．baidu．com，the suffix"．com"is similar to the last name of a person-of which there are only 22 choices now．The prefix"baidu"is like the first name of a person-which can be taken according to availability．These changes will let you choose not only the first name but also a last name for your website．
As you can see，DNS （Domain Name System） is very important for directing the traffic for business over the Internet．Having the right domain name is important for building brands （品牌） and competing better in the marketplace．The new rules could mean more chances for e-business．
However，gTLDs can mean more costs for companies．Besides protecting their brand，companies may have to deal with cyber squatting（域名抢注）-this is when people have some domain names recorded formally with the purpose of selling them at a higher price．



Which of the following is TRUE of domain names？ ______

A. They are becoming less and less important．
B. Users won't need to pay for these names．
C. There will be more gTLDs for people to choose from．
D. Suffixes like．com and．net have a history of 50 years．

A. worry
B. doubt
C. excitement
D. politeness

The purpose of the text is to ______ ．

A. explain what a gTLD is
B. talk about new changes to gTLDs

I am afraid of heights but two summers ago I climbed to a high place．Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to a beautiful beach village in Peru．After eating our lunches，many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village．
Do I turn back？"Yes!"Will I regret（后悔）it later？I really want to get to the top，but…At last，I decided at least to have a try．
My friend Tom was in front of me．Then，suddenly，he slipped（滑倒）and was about 10feet back!My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself．Knowing that my friend Seth would be right behind me，I began the climb．I was soon past the first challenge safely，but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb．Looking down，I saw rocks everywhere．My breathing sped up，and my heart beat even faster，growing loud in my ears．
