It's not every day that you see pigeons(鸽子)with cowboy hats on their tiny heads walking or flying around, unless you live in Las Vegas, where cowboy-hat-wearing pigeons are actually a thing people have been constantly talking about these days.
It all started on December 5, when a Las Vegas citizen named Bobby Lee noticed two funny-looking birds walking near a dustbin. The pigeons drew his attention because they were wearing tiny cowboy hats—one red and one grey—so he took out his smartphone and started filming them. Later, he uploaded the video online, where it was quickly spread. The next day, everyone was talking about Las Vegas' cowboy-hat-wearing pigeons, and Lee was getting phone calls from agencies trying to license his video.
It was only a matter of time before news outlets picked up the story and reported on the mysterious pigeon cowboys spotted around Las Vegas. The only link anyone could think of was the Wrangler National Rodeo Finals that were taking place in town at the time, but the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which organized the event, denied any involvement.
While some netizens just found the idea cute and jumped at the opportunity to catch the pigeons on camera if they spotted them around Vegas, others expressed concern over the birds' well-being. They even mentioned animal cruelty.
Hillman, the founder of local pigeon rescue Lofty Hopes, said that her organization was trying to track down the birds and remove their hats, but trapping them with food has proven very difficult so far. That's because the two known cowboy-hat-wearing pigeons have become very popular around Las Vegas, and people are constantly throwing them much food.
“When you see them today, you could see some loose feathers in the glue around the hat, and it's surely a concern,” Hillman said, adding that she believed the hats had been glued onto the head with a strong adhesive (黏合剂).
36.What has been a hot topic in Las Vegas recently?
A.The return of cowboy hats. B.Pigeons approaching people.
C.Pigeons wearing cowboy hats. D.The hobby of watching pigeons.
37.What made Bobby Lee film the two pigeons with his smartphone?
A.Their unusual decorations. B.Their unique feather colors.
C.Their great popularity online. D.Their strange way of walking.
38.What was netizens' attitude towards the pigeon cowboys?
A.They went too far about them. B.They thought nothing of them.
C.They showed little interest in them. D.They had a mixed response to them.
39.Why is it hard to trap the two pigeons with food?
A.Because they are rather particular about food.
B.Because they always have abundant food to eat.
C.Because they are smart enough not to be tricked.
D.Because they are well protected by pigeon watchers.

It’s tough to see or hear of a friend in crisis.One idea to keep in mind is that it is healthy for the distressed person to feel what he or she feels in the moment.When a person in crisis feels understood,he or she feels less alone and connected to the person who understands.
A person,who experiences empathy(同理心)from a friend who can “go there” for a few minutes in order to authentically understand while still maintaining a strong and supportive attitude,may be relieved and healed.While a friend is telling you about the circumstance,the first and most important step is to listen for feelings,not ways to solve the problem.
For example,a friend is terribly upset because her husband is threatening to leave her.After fully honouring the feelings,it is important to ask the friend what would help.Maybe it is a good cry and some ice cream.Perhaps it’s a glass of wine and a walk.Everyone has different ways of dealing.Be respectful and ask the friend what she needs or wants,not what you prescribe.
Take a second example,saying a close friend is being misrepresented by other friends.The friends are gossiping about her.During a conversation with her,listen for feelings.Honour her hurt and shock.The same equation is useful with a partner.
Helping a friend or partner in crisis not only helps the person,but creates closeness and trust in the relationship,making opening up in the probable future.In addition,the person who is empathizing feels positive because he or she was able to help.When a person is truly able to comfort and reassure a loved one,he or she feels vital and useful,strengthening the relationship.
40.What should we do first when we know a friend is in crisis?
A.Keep away from him/her.B.Buy him/her a glass of wine.
C.Understand how he/she feels.D.Show him/her ways to solve the problem.
41.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.A way to solve the crisis.B.A way to relieve a bad mood.
C.A way to listen for feelings.D.A way to honour the feelings.
42.How does the author prove his/her idea?
A.By listing data. B.By quoting sayings.
C.By giving examples. D.By conducting surveys.
43.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.How to keep a loved one. B.How to make new friends.
C.How to work with your partner. D.How to help a friend in trouble.
