五、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
阅读短文,回答下面5个问题。
I was afraid when a loud noise in my flat woke me up in the middle of the night. I rushed to turn on my bedroom light and found it was a cat and her loud miaows(猫叫声) woke me up.
Here's the thing. I do not have a cat. And this was not the first time this cat had caught my attention(注意). Then, I calmed down(平静) and noticed that I had kept a window open.
Like so many others, I moved from working in an office to working from home. It was around one month ago when I heard a miaow outside the window of my ground-floor flat. Sitting outside on the grass was a long-haired, golden-coloured cat. I opened the window, and this beautiful cat easily jumped into my home. That short visit brightened my day.
A few days later, I heard a familiar(熟悉的) miaow. I opened the window and let in my new best friend. I saw a name on her collar(项圈): Mika. On this second visit, I also noticed Mika was cross-eyed, which only made her more lovely.
Dogs are said to be man's best friend, and I think a good cat can be everyone's best friend.
注:每题答案不超过10个词。
1. How did the cat come into the writer's flat?

3. What is the name of the cat?
