　　Mary Krupa became friends with the grey squirrels during her first week at Penn State,after spotting them running around and idly（漫不經地）wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads.Today, everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl".

　　Mary started bringing them food,and gradually they began to trust her.She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture.Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits,she started posting similar Photos on Facebook.The response Was greatly positive,and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.

　　Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College,Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home,but she didn't interact with people very much.She was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome,but the squirrels changed that.The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice,because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,"she said."I am a lot more outgoing.

　　And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos,it has a lot to do with food.For example,whenever she wants them to hold or play with something,she puts peanut butter on the prop（道具）,and they'll grab it.But getting to that part took a while.In the beginning,she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them,but they hesitated to approach her.She had the patience to earn their trust,though.

　　This year,Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences.She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment.As for her furry friends,Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.

　　5. C．細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第三段“Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home,but she didn't interact with people very much.She was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome,but the squirrels changed that”可知，Mary之前不善于交際，并被診斷為患有阿斯伯格綜合癥，但是松鼠改變了她，可見松鼠使她比之前善于交際了。故選C。

　　6. D．細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第四段“And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos,it has a lot to do with food But getting to that part took a while.In the beginning…….She had the patience to earn their trust,though.”可知，想給松鼠拍照是需要食物的引誘，但是從“But”后面的句子可知，并不是她只要給松鼠食物，松鼠就會很安靜的讓她拍出想要的照片，前提是她必須和松鼠之間建立信任親密的關系。故選D。

　　7. A．推理預測題。根據文章第三段“because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them”以及第四段“She had the patience to earn their trust,though”可知，Mary是一個善良，愿意喂養(yǎng)小動物并且耐心的人。結合選項，故選A。

　　8. C．主旨大意題。文章第一段“Today, everyone at the university knows her as the "Squirrel Girl"”引出話題“Squirrel Girl”，通讀全文可知，文章后文介紹了主人公為什么會被稱為“Squirrel Girl”以及她的一些事跡。故選C。

　　Parents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given.The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents,who argue that the burden is too great,places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.

　　According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa) is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November.

　　"We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared",said Jos Luis Pazos,president of Ceapa."Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be.It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day.For us,that's an unacceptable situation".
