Studies show that human beings and cats have been living together for about 9,500 years.
Dogs are domesticated, meaning they have been trained to do what people want them to do.
As cat owners know well, cats do not obey humans in the same way dogs do.
As a result, many people have come to think that maybe cats simply do not understand human language. A report in the scientific journal Nature shows that cats understand human beings well enough to recognize their own names.
The report describes a series of experiments with house cats in Japan. These tests involved having people say four words that were similar to a cat's name.
Each word had the same number of syllables as the name and some of the some sounds. The cats seemed to lose interest after the speaker said a few of the words.
The cats moved their ears or turned their head when they heard their names. They also moved their feet gr bogies very little-not a surprising result. These animals reacted just as much to their own names.
The researchers thought this was because visitors may give food to the cat or rub its back when it responds. Another finding was that a cat will react when a person who is not its owner says its name.
"I think many cat owners feel that cats know their names, or the word "food".says Saito, who is a cat owner.The researchers hope that the findings from their study will help both cats and people.

Life is difficult to everybody, so you need to organize your life well. Here are some suggestions which might give you some help to manage your life well.
Write everything down and do not rely on your memory. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If you want to remember things, put them in writing, or in a digital notebook. Keeping your to-do lists and other information written somewhere allows you to look back at them anytime, especially when you have hit your head and forgotten some of them.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Try this experiment before buying one thing, throw out something old or something you do not use. Or, if you are a really pack rat (不想扔任何东西的人), just throw out one old thing a day until you can not find any more items to throw.
Recycle and donate. Is your closet full of unopened bags and clothes that still have their tags (标签) on? Is your bookshelf full of unread books? Chances are that if you have not read, worn, or used whatever they are, they you are probably not going to use them at all. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Create daily, weekly and monthly timetables for cleaning. Organize your cleaning timetable. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Distribute tasks properly, so for example, dish washing could be done daily while vacuuming (吸尘) could be done weekly and cleaning the windows done monthly. Whichever of these tasks you decide to do, remember that you can not completely organize your life in one go (一口气).
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Just decide to get organized now, and then take baby steps. Soon enough, you will be making a habit out of it all.
